TACO NAZO @ SANTA ANA We got the combo #2 for lunch and it was a LOT of food for the price. It was all fresh ingredients and was out relatively fast after we ordered. The staff was also very nice, overall 5/5

Menu

I was looking for a quick lunch, so I opened Yelp and searched for places nearby. This spot came up as a recommendation, and since it had great reviews, I decided to give it a try. It was lunchtime, so the place was pretty busy, but thankfully, the line wasn't too long. I ordered pretty quickly and found a seat. The system is simple: you place your order as you walk in, then find a table, and they bring the food out to you. I told the employee that it was my first time there and asked for a recommendation. They were kind enough to recommend the fish tacos and shrimp tacos, so that's what I ordered. I was also tempted to try the ceviche, but I wasn't sure I could finish it all by myself, so I decided to stick with just the tacos. My food came out shortly after I sat down, along with some hot sauce. Hmm....... even thinking about it now makes my mouth water. It was SO delicious! And the hot sauce that came with it was especially good. Seriously, I loved it! After eating the two tacos, I was already getting full, so I was glad I hadn't ordered more. But at the same time, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to try some of the other dishes. I definitely need to come back with a friend next time and try more of the menu! The food and the friendly service both left me very satisfied. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Food was tasty, service was friendly. Went through the drive thru so I didn't see the inside ambiance, but outside was clean. The drive thru line wasn't long. Value was okay, tacos were a little pricey. Out of the things I ordered, I recommend the fish taco. Overall, I recommend Taco Nazo for a quick tasty bite.

Food was amazing and as good as the original La Puente location. Kevin was amazing and extremely helpful with accommodating my severe anxiety and giving us seats in a corner. Thanks to him I was able to eat in peace and enjoy my meal.

Amazing authentic Mexican food in a casual atmosphere. Particularly recommend the fish and shrimp and ceviche.

Complimentary Fish Taco, Chili Guerito, and lime
Elle C.

Amazing customer service! Elvis (a wonderful ambassador for Taco Nazo!) immediately greeted us, walked us through the menu board; Blanca (going by the name on the receipt) cheerfully greeted and served us generous samples of ALL of their agua frescas! Hubby is a huge fan of agua fresca (he loves their watermelon flavor and is also a fan of their crushed ice -- that he's returned just for this beverage!); I've never been excited about agua fresca, however, I now have an appreciation for the beverage. They pride themselves on making it themselves, using fresh fruits with no added sweeteners. We ordered the following: - 2 Taco Combo ($14.25, comes with Rice, Beans, Chips & Salsa, Chile Guerito, Lime) -- World Famous Fish Taco ($4.49 a la carte): generous plank of fish, however too heavily battered for my preference (light-&-crunchy exterior for the first bites, but became thick-&-soggy at the bottom and final bites); -- World Famous Shrimp Taco ($4.49 a la carte): tasty, however more battered than my preference; -- Al Pastor Taco ($4.49 a la carte): ordered based on a high referral from a friend, we didn't care for all the flavors (would prefer simpler style e.g., steak -- or carnitas, if given the option) - Chips & Salsa: thick, warm, crispy, & tasty chips; salsa was flavorful, with a mild amount of spiciness - Pineapple Agua Fresca ($4.25): light, refreshing, and appreciatively not too sweet; - Watermelon Agua Fresca ($4.25): hubby's favorite! His description: flavorful and sweet, refreshing, with true watermelon flavors (not artificial). Casual, counter-service restaurant with ample parking and indoor seating options (with comfortable air-conditioning!). I'm amazed at some people's lack of courtesy and consideration; this is clearly a counter-service restaurant; my thoughts are that people should bus their own tables, helping to keep the flow moving for the next guests. I'm interested in returning to experience more of their menu items.

Shrimp Ceviche, 3 Taco Combo
Leslie H.

We had Taco Nazo catered for our company beach day from their truck and OMG! Soooo good!! It was so much food. We had a three taco plate with a side of refreshing ceviche, perfect for a sunny day out at Newport Dunes. The ceviche was fresh and chips were thick and didn't break apart easily, which is always the worst. I got 2 fish tacos (as these were recommended) and a carne asada which is typically my favorite. The fish taco.. definitely the winner. The tacos were huge and the fish taco perfectly battered. Watermelon Agua Fresca was yummy too! Service was pretty quick considering the number of people they were serving. I can't wait to visit again at one of their brick and mortar stores.

World Famous Fish Taco

I used to go to the Taco Nazo in Bellflower so I was excited they opened one closer to us in Orange County. Very clean inside the restaurant, great service. Everyone was so kind and helpful! Love their fish tacos!! Can't wait to go back and try more items!

This place specializes in fish tacos. Fish tacos (5/5): Portions are huge and super delicious. The batter is coated perfectly and crispy. The flavor of the white sauce is also amazing. Horchata (5/5): Very sweet and flavorful. Can't be any better! Definitely one of the best fish taco places I've been to

Potato Taco
Andrea H.

I love that Taco Nazo opened a spot out in OC! This is my favorite spot to get fish tacos and I used to always go to the Baldwin park or La puente location. They also have a drive thru, so it's perfect for convenience. 3 Taco Combo (Rating: 5/5, ~$18): it comes with 3 tacos of your choice, 2 sides (bean/rice), chips/salsa, drink or agua fresca. TONS OF FOOD and I personally ordered a fish, shrimp, and potato taco. It definitely hit the spot and satisfied my craving. The horchata was also AMAZING. Ceviche (Rating: 3/5, $10): such a small serving and kind of annoyed they didn't add it to the meal price for $6.50 as it states in the menu. It was not as memorable and such a small cup of ceviche for the price. So that is why I knocked off a star Overall, I will definitely be coming back!! $32 for the combo and a small ceviche

Small mixed ceviche $11 Very good- 4.5 stars

If you are looking for the best Ensenada style fish tacos, look no further! Taco Nazo has the best fish and shrimp tacos. They have been around since 1978, and have several locations in LA. I was overjoyed when they opened up their first OC location in Santa Ana. I usually frequent their Bellflower location. This is so much more convenient for me... and dangerous I usually get the 2 TACO COMBO, which comes with beans and rice $14.25 and if I'm hungry, I'll do the shrimp cocktail add-on for only $6.50. Such a good deal! The beans and rice are perfectly made. The shrimp cocktail is so juicy and flavorful. Don't get carne asada here- it is very dry and does not have flavor. All combos come with a chile guerito, a yellow pepper fried and seasoned with lemon pepper. I also get their CEVICHE MIXTO- 4. 5 stars, which includes fish, shrimp, octopus, and imitation crab. It's $11 for a small and $21 for a medium. The medium is a pretty big portion size and 2 people can share it. It is very fresh. I have probably been here at least 4 or 5 times in the last six months! Service is excellent and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. They work very fast even during their peak times. The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of seating. The staff even come and collect your plates. Happy eating! Yelp Review #51- 2026

Ok..I'm not a huge Mexican foodie, but my first encounter with Taco Nazo (at their Bellflower location) turned me into a believer & a fan!!! Since our family's first experience with Taco Nazo was so memorable, we decided to return on a Saturday afternoon to their Santa Ana location, which was a lil closer to home. My hubs seriously couldn't stop talking about it for days afterward, so we HAD to come back to satisfy those cravings. Located in the McFadden Center just off the 55 freeway, this Tazo Nazo location isn't quite as spacious as its Bellflower counterpart, but it has a cozy, welcoming feel & drive-thru. You order at the counter, grab a number, find a table, and your food is brought right to you. Learning from our last visit, we made sure not to over-order & "eat with our eyes." Lol I once again opt'd for the 2-taco combo. This time I ordered their world-famous fish taco and an asada taco (instead of my fav al pastor). The combo came with rice, beans, chips, salsa, and a drink or agua fresca (with unlimited refills!!!). I LOVE agua frescas, so choosing the pineapple flavor was an easy decision. It was incredibly refreshing & delicious. The hubs and I also shared a small shrimp ceviche ($9.99), which was a generous portion. To round out our family meal ~ the hubs ordered the 2-taco combo (1 fish & 1 asada taco), my son went with the 2-taco combo (1 al pastor & 1 asada taco), and my daughter enjoyed the asada burrito. Let's just say..it was A LOT of food! While we all left full, happy, and completely satisfied once again..we all agreed that the Tazo Nazo Bellflower location was still our favorite ~ both in vibe, food quality, and service. That said, we'll definitely be back. A total RxFoodie recommend!

We were really excited to try Taco Nazo after seeing raving reviews on yelp and TikTok, but we were disappointed unfortunately. We went for a late night snack around 9. We got the 2 taco combo and chose the fish tacos. It came with rice, beans, chips and a drink. We are glad we went with 2 just to try it out. The fish tacos which is what everyone raves about we're just okay. They weren't crunchy and they didn't have much flavor at all. They also only gave us one lime, maybe more limes would have helped with the flavor. Now the rice and beans, both were a great pair with the chips BUT they definitely skimmed us on the rice. As you can see in the picture, they didn't even fill it halfway. That was so disappointing. Overall the quality was okay and we probably won't make out of our way to returning.

I'm telling you where, so you can find it and go if you're looking for a delicious Mexican restaurant. Santa Ana has plenty of authentic Mexican fast service dining places and food trucks that are pretty tasty, but when you are looking for something along the lines of a not-too-pricey restaurant with respectable cocktails and a Mexican food menu that delivers variety, quality, taste, along with a nice, clean, well-decorated establishment with excellent customer service, this is it. I'm an enchilada person, I look high and low for the next best thing to a homemade enchilada -- Casa Ramos doesn't disappoint. The crunchy beef tacos are also a favorite of mine. Someone once said, "You can really tell by the chips and salsa if a Mexican restaurant is going to be good or not." Their chips and salsa are so good, you have to stop yourself from filling up on them before your food comes out. The portions are sufficient. Most times, I need to box my leftovers up. Try this place, and let me know if you disagree.

I used to LOVE coming to this place... until I realized their customer service seriously sucked…read more First off, the food is honestly a little on the salty side, but I kept coming back because I liked the place. Then this happened. I brought my family here for dinner, and when we were closing out the check, the server failed to mention that gratuity was automatically added for a party of 6. I didn't realize it until I was about to sign and saw that I was about to leave ANOTHER tip on top of the automatic gratuity. I was like, oh HELL NO, I'm not tipping $80+ So I asked the server to refund the entire transaction and rerun the payment correctly. She told me she couldn't do that, but said she could refund the extra tip instead. I said okay, trusting that she knew what she was doing. We left. Fast forward about 4-6 months later. I come back with different family members, and the MANAGER comes over and tells me I have an outstanding balance of around $150. At first I genuinely thought he was joking. Nope. Apparently, when the server was supposed to refund the extra tip, she accidentally refunded the ENTIRE BILL and kept the tip. ‍ Now explain to me HOW that was my problem?! I specifically told her I wanted the entire transaction refunded so we could start over, and SHE chose to handle it differently. That was THEIR mistake, not mine. And the worst part? Instead of pulling me aside privately and explaining what happened, the manager brought this up IN FRONT OF THE FAMILY I WAS WITH. So now I'm sitting there being told I owe $150+ in front of my guests because of an error THEIR employee made months earlier. Talk about embarrassing. Thank God I'm in a position where I could afford to pay it, so I paid the outstanding amount AND my new bill that day -- over $300 out of pocket -- just to resolve the whole situation. I paid everything they said I owed for both visits, and I have never gone back since. And I WILL NEVER go back. Between the salty-ass food and the customer service, I'll take my money somewhere else. Just sharing my TRUE experience because I think customers deserve to know what happened.
