OG taco spot. Carnitas always perfectly balanced between crunch and moist. Buche is delicious (if not one of my favs) tripas are good too. Aguas frescas always ready to, not to overly sweetened. Als good selection of sodas including Mexican coke and Jarritos, Cidral etc. Comfy seating but not crazy big for the little hole in the wall spot it's in. You could put tables together if you needed to. Great prices too! read more

I do NOT recommend coming to this Taco Boy location anymore. If you really want Taco Boy, go to the one on Euclid instead (895 S Euclid St Unit 1520, Anaheim, CA 92802). I've been coming here for over 30 years, and this used to be the OG spot before COVID. I'm not trying to hate on them -- I'm just honestly tired and disappointed with how much the quality has dropped especially since I pay almost $60 in food when I go. Things really changed after the older man who worked the front passed away and the good cooks left. Ever since then, everything has gone downhill. The new staff just isn't the same. The older lady at the front has always been rude, even before COVID. When I order 8-12 tacos, I ask for multiple salsa cups (they're only 2 oz each). I'll ask for nine, she gives me six, and if I ask for more, she hands them over with attitude. I've even offered to pay for extra salsa just to avoid the attitude, but it still feels like a hassle every time. Another issue is how unprepared they are. On Mondays, Saturdays, Sundays, and sometimes even during the week, they don't have basic vegetables like rabanos, carrots, or pickled onions -- things they've always offered. When I ask, they tell me they don't have anything and that they "only for sure have them on Tuesdays." How does that make sense? These are basic items they should have all week. The food has gone downhill too. I've tried pretty much everything over the years, but the biggest problems are with: * Tamales -- Big, but mostly masa with barely any meat. And the meat they do add is full of nerves and fat. * Tacos -- Same issue: tons of nerves, barely edible, and the tortillas are drenched in grease. * Tortas -- I pay $2 extra for beans and they never add them. The carnitas are full of fat and nerves, and I have to open the torta and clean it myself. The few clean pieces left barely make a decent bite. I'm just tired of paying for food and service that keeps getting worse. The Taco Boy on Euclid is way better -- they have salsas, onions, carrots, radishes, and more available for you to grab yourself, and the food is consistently good. I really wish this location would try harder instead of half‑assing everything. Photo 1: Tiny 2 oz salsa containers and how little salsa they give you, even when ordering 8-12 tacos. Photo 2: The pile of fat, nerves, and inedible chunks I had to remove from my torta. Photo 3: The torta after I cleaned it -- barely any veggies and only a few clean pieces of carnitas. Also... why is EVERYTHING soaked in grease. read more

This place always hits the spot!! And that salsa... King Taco who?! Haha Their meat options are always good. I go for the Al Pastor (their adobada sauce is a good blend of sweet and spicy), cabeza (always tender and delibuche, and/ or tripas. Very tasty and satisfying. Never disappointed. The employees are always nice and never rude. Even the cooks take a peek over the counter to greet you most of the time. You can eat your meal there, but keep in mind it's a true little hole in the wall taco shop. There's no table service and only over the counter service. But this place is always steadily busy. read more

Hidden gem in Anaheim, hole in the wall type of place but food is fantastic! Been a customer for over 15 years and never fails! Quick bites that are quality. read more

I think this place is solid Mexican food. The menudo is not great and the last time we had it. It was definitely old and not well made. However their breakfast burritos and enchiladas plates are delicious. It is very affordable and you definitely get taste for the cost. Will order and come back here when I want Mexican fast food like food. The customer service is fast and the ladies will always get your sauces ready. There is plenty of seating and a usable restroom. read more

California burrito was sooo good. I loved the red salsa and my partner loved the green! Staff were very nice as well!

Solid tacos and yummy horchata! They have a salsa bar where you can get lemon, salsa and pickles veggies. Their green salsa packs flavor and the red salsa packs heat, they are a perfect combo. Carne asada was good, a little chewy but still yummy. The shrimp taco was a little salty and lengua was meh probably won't get those again. read more

Do not come here unless you want to be harassed by homeless people as you're trying to pay and the cashier doing NOTHING about it. It is unacceptable that a paying customer is being almost physically assaulted when they're trying to place an order and no attempt is made by ANY employee to fix the situation. My dad had to literally dodge a punch as he's ordering and trying to pay at this location. It is ridiculous and unbelievable read more

I wanted to buy tacos and buy 6 extra salsa rojas, this lady said no! Why deny buying extra salsas??? They clearly charge for extra salsas per the sign right in front of her face. This lady is making the business lose money. If i was the owner of this establishment, i would not let anyone work for me who's interfering with me making money. I walked out and will never come back. Ill take my money to the other Taco Boy on Euclid from now on... read more

I've been coming here since the early 80's and this review has nothing to do with food. The food is average but since I was raised nearby it's always been a sentimental favorite and although I no longer live nearby I still stop by when I'm in the area. Last night I came in for a champurrado and the size options on the menu are Med & Large, even though I'm fully aware of the sizes since I've been getting champurrado here for 4 decades. So the lady gives me the smallest cup she has when small isn't even an option on the menu. So I say "that's not a medium", and even though there are three cup sizes sitting on the counter right next to her she essentially refuses to give me what I paid for. What a nice way to treat a customer of 40 + years. Granted I haven't been a regular customer here lately but now I'll no longer be a customer here at all. read more

A popular small chain of Mexican taquerias all located in Anaheim. This location, being directly across the street from a Northgate Market off of Anaheim Boulevard, is probably its most visible one. Known for some of the tastiest, juiciest tacos in town and best deals on great tasting, authentic Mexican street food like tacos, tortas, sopes and burritos. Meat choices include asada (beef steak), carnitas (braised pork), al pastor (Shepard style pork), chorizo (sausage), pollo (chicken), buche (pork stomach), cabeza (beef head) and lengua (beef tongue). All tacos are street style sized - which is topped with minced onions and cilantro and about five inches in diameter - and $1.21 each. All the meat options are juicy and flavorful: savory, delicately seasoned and salty. The traditional meat choices, including asada, carnitas and even the pollo, were the tastiest and most succulent. I prefer them over the offal meats here. Like most taquerias you order at the counter. Staff is friendly and English speaking. There is a salsa bar in the back of the restaurant and includes pickled carrots and jalapeno peppers, sliced onions, radishes, limes, and a choice of salsa rojas (red sauce) and salsa verde (green sauce). There is a small shared private parking lot between the restaurant and the Juke Joint, a local bar directly on the other side of the lot. If a spot is not available, there is plenty of street parking next to or nearby the restaurant. Located in the heart of the residential section of Downtown Anaheim a few blocks east of the Packing District. Admittedly, the neighborhood could appear a bit "sketchy" and probably a lot more so in the evening. The tacos are worth a visit here, however, and they stay open late. My only suggestion is to probably not dine here alone at night. HOURS: Mon 8:30 am - 12:00 am Tue 8:30 am - 12:00 am Wed 8:30 am - 12:00 am Thu 8:30 am - 12:00 am Fri 8:30 am - 3:00 am Sat 8:30 am - 3:00 am Sun 8:30 am - 1:00 am read more

This place has been a staple for many of us for years! We used to frequent the one that was next to Taco Bell on Euclid. Unfortunately it's a hit and miss with the food. They have a hole in the wall cantina and bar next door so the crowd is sometimes quite interesting especially late at night. They are open late I believe until 3am. Watch out for the older lady taking orders. One needs extra patience with her and triple check your orders. read more

I've had tamales all of my life, these are the worse ever! Dried, sliver of meat & a light bit of red sauce. Never again!

nasty , husband brought us a meal home. the only good thing was their red sauce but they overdid it with the onions for both my tacos and his burrito and the onions tasted old , the meat was kinda nasty and the horchata is fake which I cannot stand at Mexican food spots . totally unauthentic all of it . I'm Mexican so I know what I'm saying . will not be traumatizing our tastebuds with this spot again . read more

I have been coming here since I was a child I'm now 28 and I've never had such bad service I had to write about it.I called to make my order the guy (he's obviously new he seems about my age) kept cutting me off, extremely rude and hung up on me mid sentence I literally just ordered 2 things. When I got to the counter he looked at me, walked towards me, I said hi he pretended to be on his phone then gave me his back didn't say a word to me had me there like an idiot for about 5-10 min place was almost empty the people eating there just shook their heads. Another worker had to literally come from the back and stop what she was doing to help me, it's not like I was gonna take their time away my order was literally ready for pick up I had seen it as soon as I walked in. I hope you guys fire him such a stank ass attitude and for what? I never gave a reason for him to be so rude if you don't wanna work there find a better job read more

Taco Boy could be categorized as a hole in the wall, but a REALLY tasty one!!! I can't believe I haven't write a review about this place, they already know me by name (just like Cheers) and they know that I CAN'T eat anything spicy (I think I have been pretty emphatic about it) Their main cashier, Lorenzo Camacho http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-boy-anaheim-2#valvaQhvK6Wov5cdM_8cxw always have super been nice and attentive (and emphatic about my allergies lol) The place is located in Anaheim Blvd. access is fairly easy and you can park on the right or next door, at the Juke Joint. Yes!!! Taco Boy is strategically located next to Juke Joint, that's another review that I must write ASAP! I always order my "holy trinity" Tacos de Asada, pollo & pastor http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taco-boy-anaheim-2#Oe4ndg8ei8uPrqpgd9s6OQ and so far I never have been disappointed. This is a low key, real-deal taco joint, if you don't order to-go is an interesting place with even more interesting characters (I got kinda scared once, but no biggie) Highly recommended, especially if you had some cold ones next door (Juke Joint) PS: Bring some dough, because Taco Boy is cash only :) read more
