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

2 Taco Combo
Tammy T.

Taco Nazo probably has one of the best fish tacos around the area! Even on a Monday, they were packed for lunch. I recommend getting the 2 taco combo since it comes with rice, beans, and nachos. Portion sizes are extremely generous. The shrimp burrito is tasty as well. If you choose to dine in, the employee will deliver the food to your table along with 2 bottles of salsa. I'm glad I finally got to try this place!

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!

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.

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

Taco Dorado 3 Pack, bean potato and cheese
Joanne C.

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.

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

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

Beans
Carolina R.

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.

Chilis and fish tacos
Arcadia W.

My family has supported this business for years. I remember back in the early 1990s when my mom and I would go to their location in Chino. I do remember hearing that the family that owned this business had to split it in half and some locations kept the name Taco Nazo and others rebranded as Señor Baja. No matter which location I went to, the food always remained consistent and affordable. I was so happy to see this new location, which is a lot closer to me ever since I moved. I can still feel the hospitality at this new location. The food is made with love and I always feel valued. I will say that the cost of the tacos are higher just like the cost of everything. However, they are not skipping out on any of the quality or portions. I ordered three fish tacos and a small shrimp cocktail. I remember back when the chilies used to be free at the salsa bar. I guess I'm spoiled. But now the chilies come with a charge. Everything was great. I loved my fish tacos, and my shrimp cocktail.

A Wonderful Hidden Gem in Santa Ana! Excellent Service and Amazing Atmosphere!…read more I happened to discover Casa Ramos in Santa Ana while visiting the mall and leaving Macy's. I noticed the restaurant and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! Sometimes the best experiences happen when you least expect them. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how beautiful, welcoming, and inviting the place was. It has a wonderful atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and happy to be there. What made my visit even more special was the outstanding service I received from my waitress, Fany. She was absolutely wonderful, very pleasant, attentive, and welcoming. Her kindness and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. A great restaurant is not just about the food or the atmosphere; it's also about the people who make you feel appreciated as a customer, and Fany certainly did that. I'm very happy I decided to stop by Casa Ramos, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to enjoy a meal and receive excellent hospitality. A special thank-you to Fany for making my visit so memorable! Employees like her are a true asset to any restaurant. I will definitely be happy to return and visit again. Keep up the great work, Casa Ramos! You have a beautiful establishment, and with wonderful people like Fany on your team, you give customers a reason to come back. Highly recommended!

Before walking in, I told myself that I'd get my usual, Ensenada fish/Ensenada shrimp tacos with rice and beans. Our first server suggested quite a few things after we sat down and they all sounded delicious. So I dared to try someone new and I am so happy that I did. I ordered the Camarones de ajo and omg, so beyond delicious. I forced myself to stop eating mid-plate because I wanted to take it home so that I could savor it at home too. We also got the chips and salsa and the new wings as appetizers. Even though the chips aren't free anymore, we always have to get it because it's just that good, with their salsa. The wings were also just as good. I obviously forgot all the names of the plates because I was just so excited and happy being able to eat in such a beautiful restaurant.

Everything was seasoned perfectly and my daughter loved every bite. I also tried my husband's chicken torta, and it was just as delicious! I can't forget the chips and salsa. The chips were freshly made, and the salsa had great flavor without being too spicy. Our waiter was incredibly kind and provided excellent customer service, which made the experience even better. From the atmosphere and cleanliness to the delicious food and friendly staff, everything exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area!

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.
