The food is really good here. The nachos are enough for 2. I recommend the Mahi Taco Plate. The Taco Plate is Two Corn Tortilla or flour for the gringos. Tacos with Choice of Protein. Served with Side of Rice & Beans, Cotija Cheese Sprinkle & Shredded Lettuce & Pico De Gallo On the side. They have a full and great views of the beach. Counter seating is available to look outside at the beach or passersby on the walkway in front of the restaurant. You order at the counter, they give you a number clipped to a stand and they bring the food out to your seat. Counter, high top tables, and table seating is available.

Shrimp quesadillas

I've been here a few times & it's consistently been fantastic. You walk up & order. They bring out your food to you. Friendly fast service. The loaded nachos are so delicious. The pinto beans are perfection. Pico de gallo is tasty, fresh & chopped small. I'll be dreaming of these. I loved the shrimp quesadilla. The mahi mahi taco was the best I've had in Newport Beach. My husband loved the el pastor taco. I love the signage & vibe. We sat at the counter every time & looked at the ocean & pier. Super awesome Panga!

Came across Super Panga on a Newport Beach night stroll. Decided to try it since me & my friend were craving Mexican food. Was a cool vibe but the authenticity just wasn't there & we both ended up having upset stomachs later that night. We got the carne asada burrito which was large enough to split. I like that it's near the pier but unfortunately did not have the best experience.

The food was amazing and exactly what we wanted! Prices are good and great portions! I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're by the beach!

We were at Newport Beach last Saturday and walked along the boardwalk when we passed by Super Panga. The lively atmosphere immediately caught our attention, so we decided to go in and give it a try. I'm glad we did because it turned out to be a great choice. One of the cashiers told us to find a table first and then come back to place our order. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, which gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sunset while having dinner. The food exceeded my expectations. Usually, restaurants in tourist areas don't offer particularly memorable food, but Super Panga was definitely an exception. The California Burrito ($15) was delicious with generously portion, we couldn't even finish it. The Seafood Burrito ($15) was equally impressive and packed with flavor. We also ordered two Taco Plates ($14 each), which come with two corn tortilla tacos, rice, and beans. For our tacos, we chose the Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Blackened Mahi Mahi, and Crispy Cod. The Al Pastor was delicious, featuring flavorful pork, onions, pineapple, and cilantro. The Carne Asada was very good as well. The Blackened Mahi Mahi was my favorite. The combination of cabbage, cilantro, pickled onions, and mahi mahi made it juicy, fresh, and satisfying. The Crispy Cod was also excellent. The Street Corn "Esquites" ($9) was OK. The Chips, Salsa & Guacamole ($10) were tasty and served in a generous portion that we couldn't finish. They also have a full bar and offer a large selection of cocktails, which added to the fun and vacation-like atmosphere. The service was great, and we absolutely loved our window seat. Watching people stroll by on the boardwalk while enjoying the sunset made for a wonderful dining experience. With the ocean breeze, lively crowd, great food, and cocktail selection, it felt like we were in Hawaii or on a tropical island getaway. I would definitely recommend Super Panga to my friends and will happily visit again the next time I'm in Newport Beach

$10 taco plate on taco Tuesday! Perfect location and honestly I would come back to bring my SO here. Taco Tuesdays also include $5 tacos amongst other deals. You order first and then are seated! Don't sleep on Super Panga!

Ceviche with the avocado on the side
Diana M.

Came out here with some coworkers while on a work getaway. One of my coworkers had had a rough morning and wanted a drink. We happened to be walking by as they were opening. They have open seating with view to the street and TVs. It is a very casual ambiance and they had breakfast and lunch items available in the morning. The staff were friendly and we got seated right away. It was Us open season and it was great that they had it on the TVs. It wasn't too loud but it also was t busy yet. Now to the food, the reason for the 3 stars. My ceviche was just ok, nothing impressive and have for sure had best. My coworkers were not impressed with their breakfast burritos, but it was food I guess. The drinks were good. Overall I would probably give another place a try unless you are looking for a sports bar vibe.

If you're looking for a quick bit with drinks come to super panga taqueria. Came here on Taco Tuesday! Got a plate of loaded nachos for 8$!!! Birria nachos!!! The service was nice and the beach vibes with great! The drinks were a little weak though tbh my girlfriend got a double shot for the spicy mango and she said it was weak. For the price it wasn't worth it. The food though super worth it.

Loaded Fries
An C.

Stopped by here on a whim in the middle of the night. It's nice to sit by the open window facing the street for fresh air and to people watch. The Loaded Fries are massive??? It was like $12 or so? Also tried the Calamari fries. I liked all the fresh toppings and the sauce but the batter was a bit thick. Got the Haven & Hell cocktail and I loved it! Very refreshing very good. My friend thought it was spicy. Service is casual, order first and sit down. Servers were really chill and friendly! Nice place right by the beach.

Breakfast Tacos with chorizo, beans, rice and chips. Medium salsa.
Craig G.

Looks like Dory's was open but under construction so we went next door. I wasn't sure if the food was prepared here or there but it was good. I had two chorizo and egg breakfast tacos with beans and rice, my wife had taquitos. Great seating on the rail to watch the people come and go. You order and pay and take your number flag to your seat and shortly, piping hot and with the smile the food is delivered. I'm sure the two spots will return to normal soon but on this day they didn't miss a beat!

grilled mahi mahi burrito
Mark L.

Excellent burrito! Grilled Mahi Mahi with black beans and pickled cabbage for $15. Hella good. great service with an awesome beach view. SoCal perfection. 5 starts

carne asada (steak)
Michelle P.

Taco Tuesday Win at Super Panga! If you're looking for the ultimate beach vibe in Newport, this is the spot. I'm not from the area, but I'd come back in a heartbeat! The Vibe & View Oceanfront Seating: It's an open-air spot right on the beach with bar stools that face the water. The Crowd: It's a fun, chill spot--especially for Taco Tuesday, which is an amazing deal. The Food Crispy Cod Tacos: The batter was perfect, and the fish had a wonderful buttery flavor. Easily a 10/10. Carne Asada: My friend got the steak with onions and cilantro--classic, fresh, and delicious. The Extras: They give you several types of salsa in individual cups, and the sides of rice and beans are huge! Pro-Tip: Parking Free Lot: There is actually a free parking lot nearby! It's right by the beach, so it gets super crowded, but it's worth circling for a spot. The Verdict Highly recommend this place if you're visiting Newport Beach. You can't beat eating great tacos right on the sand.

Beachside taqueria in Newport Beach serves up tasty tacos and brews with incredible brews. Affordable, fast service and a wide selection of, but it's the view that will make your experience memorable and keep you coming back.

After finishing our bottle of water I eventually had to go to the host stand myself and ask that someone greet the table. Once a server did come by, the drinks arrived promptly, which we appreciated. The side of olive juice we had requested, however, never came and mind you I asked 3 different people for it. After that, the table was effectively abandoned. I had brought a birthday cake and had to return to the host stand to ask for plates, a knife, and forks. What arrived was a stack of plates and a single knife. No forks. We waited about ten minutes, then ate the cake with our hands. Crazy. The bill came to nearly $500. As we were signing it, and as I was still finishing a drink that had reached the table only about twenty minutes earlier because our server had been absent, a man in a white shirt (assuming manager) approached and told us we needed to vacate the table for the next reservation. When I explained that we had not been greeted or served in a timely manner, he argued with me and insisted that we had been. For a large party, on a birthday, the service was inattentive and the closing interaction was dismissive and rude. My friends and I will not be returning!

We did not have a reservation but we were able to sit at the bar, and eventually we moved to the center communal table. Honestly, I would prefer to sit there than at a private table! You are so in the mix of the whole restaurant, great place to be social. To drink I had a skinny margarita with raspberries added and my friend had the orangutan (espresso martini). My drink was SO good and SO cute. I am being serious when I say after I ordered it, the entire communal table got it too. I love that instead of chips and salsa they bring you fresh, hot tortillas with salsas and HONEY BUTTER?? to dip them in. This was so yummy and definitely unique to Palmilla. We ordered the guacamole, combo plate with a cheese enchiladas and crispy beef taco, and the filet mignon tacos. The only thing I might skip is the guac but thats just knit picking because everything else was so good. The ambiance of this place is beautiful. Think boujee beach bar in Tulum with a natural pallet and foliage. Every member of staff we met was also a 10/10! I'll be back!

Short story: terrible service and who even knows what the food is like (I only saw the food) Long story: Horrible service, worst I have ever had. Had to walk out (still paid) not getting appetizer or food after an hour. Made a reservation for 8pm on a weekend. Ordered 2 drinks for 2 people. After 10 minutes ordered the octopus. Server came to us every 5-10 minutes asking what we needed for the main course. We told the server we would order when we received the app, but after 45 minutes we still didn't have the app. We put in our regular food order after 20 minutes. After one hour we didn't have anything yet, the place wasn't slammed and had a few tables open. Couple across from us got their three serves before we got anything. We complained to server and he said you have to "order in courses" which was not previously mentioned, and which made no sense because it was not the special. The "manager" came up and said the food was ready (an hour after ordering) and they could "box it up". What a great idea! I would have ordered Door Dash if that was the case. I wasn't looking for a discount but you would think a "classy" place would comp a drink or something but of course they charged. We gladly paid for it but then this told us NO tip and NEVER going back.

Our server was initially prompt, but as the evening passed, we saw him less and less as the tables began to fill to the point we had to ask other waiters to refill our water. We ordered a bunch of entrees and sides to sample the menu. I ordered the Chef's Special which included a hanger steak, broccoli, and roasted potatoes, along with a side of the Chorizo Mac n Cheese. The consensus was that the food lacked seasoning. The sauces that were served with the dishes enhanced the flavor and added the needed seasoning. What I want to highlight is that they had cooked my steak just as I wanted (rare) and the broccoli was just how I liked it. Price is a bit steep, but you're paying for the aesthetic and atmosphere. Overall, while I'd be open to trying it again, it wouldn't be my first choice for Cuban food.

Why not give a yes or no answer to whether accommodations can be made? There were several parties waiting in the brightly lit hallway with no A/C, despite plenty of tables seemingly available. At one point, another party peeked inside and a young kid employee with an Afro came out and rudely waved his hands in a "what do you want" manner without saying a word. Two waiting parties immediately left, and we decided to do the same after witnessing that. Another party with a reservation waiting told us this happens regularly and that the staff can be rude. Whether that's their normal practice or not, it was enough to make me not want to give this place my money. We ended up going to two other bars nearby that the one party waiting there recommended and had a completely opposite experience, welcoming and respectful. Definitely disappointing and don't recommend wasting your time as there's so many other places to try.
