One of the best tacos in the area. I tried the asada taco and the meat was amazing. It was juicy and had a smokey taste to it. They also put a good amount of guac on there. The only downside is that its on the pricier side. But definitely try this place out if you like tacos read more

Tacomasa - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

Tacomasa in Brea - First Day Visit I showed up to Tacomasa's grand opening in Brea and yes, the line was LONG but worth every minute. Bonus: it's right in The Shoppes and literally across from the free parking structure, so no excuses. Cashier shoutout: Johnathan. Super helpful, patient, and even switched gears when I hit him with some Spanish at the register. (Because let's be real--ordering tacos in Spanish just hits different. Feels more legit. ) Now let's talk tacos: Carne Asada Taco - grilled to absolute perfection, topped with a mountain of guacamole sauce. Generous is an understatement. Quesitaco (Adobada) - hands down my favorite. Pork + melted cheese = life. The flavor was bold, smoky, and kind of made me question every other taco I've had recently. Chicken Taco - solid, but if I'm being honest, I'd stick with the Asada or Adobada next round. Did I stop there? Of course not. Their aguas frescas? I went with the plátano (banana) and sheeeeshhhhh--straight-up perfection in a cup. Creamy, refreshing, and dangerously addicting. Minor note: I wish their salsa had more of a kick, but the flavor was still on point. And the homemade tortillas (hechas a mano)? GAME CHANGER. Tacos just hit different when the tortilla has that fresh, soft-but-toasty vibe. I also do wish that "Mulitas" were more toasted. Didn't get to the tripa or lengua this time, but trust me--I'll be back to work my way through the menu. If you're looking for a genuine taco experience in Brea, this is the spot. read more

My first visit was a few days after they opened - their hours weren't fully updated on Yelp, so I was peeved that it was closed upon my arrival. Totally fine, this did not affect the rating of this review. When I next visited, they were open and at dinner time hour, the line was out the door. Given we don't live too far, I was planning to come back another day. One of the workers assured me the line moves very quickly since there were only a few parties ahead. Spoiler: the line did not move fast, but I had committed already so I stuck around to wait. The wait was 30+ mins, and part of the reason for the wait was a number of employees that was handling the register were still in training. Get that its a new business, but given the demand, wish they were a bit more prepared. Truthfully, this took away from the seamless experience. I ordered three tacos, their agua fresca drinks (unlimited fountain refills) and an elote. Surprised that their elote was like $6.99. The drinks was definitely catered to people with a high sweet/sugar tolerance - all very sweet, even with the addition of ice to water it down. The price point for what we got was probably not the best way to spend our money. Other than those pain points, the tacos were really tasty, the flavor was there and the adobada was good. Plenty of seats outside, but given the volume of people - we opted to sit further away a few businesses down. read more

The adobada was so greasy and succulent in the most delicious way that I could not get enough. I ordered the deluxe trio tacos with adobada, lengua, and asada and while they were all good, the adobada was easily my favorite. I recommend getting every order "con todo", no matter which item you get. If you don't care for cheese, then you can get the regular tacos and they offer a combo with it too. The service is pretty quick and they bring your order out to you. There's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and I love how they're connected because you can enjoy the beautiful downtown views. I also enjoyed how you could watch them freshly make your food through the windows. read more

This place is fantastic! Delicious food, good quality and friendly service. I have read reviews complaining about the price. I don't see why they are comparing these prices with street service! Mexican food should not be cheap! Mexican food is awesome! And this place is a good reference of it! Ambiance is welcoming, clean and minimalistic. Loved the food and the service. thank you! read more

Came in Tuesday around 130 PM for a quick to-go lunch. Ordered a Asada Burrito with cheese after sampling some of the available proteins recommended by the staff. Waited roughly 10 mins inside the restaurant and was impressed by how clean and well maintained the place is. For the burrito: 1. I loved the taste of the asada (tasted like nice chucks of ribeye) paired with the green salsa that they included. 2. Burrito was overall a decent size but for almost $17 I expected more. 3. Wish they also packed some more salsas to go! Will definitely comeback to try some of the other options! read more

Tacomasa - Carne Asada Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

TacoMasa understood the assignment The tacos were packed with flavor and seasoned so well--every bite hit. The adobada is the star of the show! Best taco meat I've had hands down! The salsa adds even more flavor without overpowering anything (as it should), and the rice and beans were just as good, not an afterthought. Simple, satisfying, and definitely a spot I'd come back to. Also the service didn't disappoint. They work efficiently to get your order. The cashier was very helpful to make such a difficult choice in which meat to get. Barstool seating but also have an outside waiting area. Bring a sweater because the inside was quite chilly Definitely will be coming back! read more

Tacomasa - Delux trio (2 adobada and 1 Carne Asada tacos) - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

I had an amazing experience at Tacomasa! The most I waited was maybe 10-15 but tbh it was worth the wait. I ordered a torta de asada and 3 tacos de adobada, and everything was packed with flavor. The asada in the torta was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the adobada tacos were so good--tender, well-marinated, and full of taste in every bite. You can tell they really care about quality here. Definitely one of my go-to spots now when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing new taco spot in Brea. Awesome service too. Juiciest tacos in Brea, i for sure will be stoping by more than twice.

The food here is amazing. The employees are friendly and informative. They give you samples of the meats if you want to try it. I ended up getting a large horchata (you get endless refills), a regular asada taco, and the deluxe trio quesatacos (2 asada, 1 nopal). Everything was so tasty. I see a lot of taco places making more premium meat tacos... and this is one of them. This was freshly cut steak that was soft and flavorful. They put guac on all of tacos. The salsas were amazing. The was a lot of outdoor seating with the heat lamps as well as inside seating. I will becoming back to try out the other selections on the menu. read more

The food and drinks at Tacomasa were incredible. I really liked all the options. Thanks to Ivan for great service.

I was walking my dogs and saw a sign outside saying they served breakfast burritos, so I stopped in and ordered an asada breakfast burrito. They also have bacon which I would've usually gotten but was in the mood for more meat and that's what I got! The asada had good flavor and was meaty, not fatty. The burrito also had eggs and cheese and it came with a roasted salsa and/or red salsa. I enjoyed that the burrito, it did not have a bunch of filler in it like potatoes, beans or rice. The tortilla was fresh and really made the burrito great! Can't wait to try the bacon one! There is also plenty of outside seating (standup and some sit down) and they even had a dog treat jar with dog biscuits in it at the cashier. read more

It was an impromptu lunch to try a new taco place in Brea and I'm glad we stumbled upon this place. It didn't disappoint and it is way better than expected. As soon as we walked in, we were asked if this was our first time and asked if we wanted to have samples. Right there, I know it's gonna be good. Got the taco, chips and quesadillas and everything was amazing. The protein is massive with bursting flavor and they don't skimp on the pork and steak on everything that we ordered. Their salsa is addicting and the place is definitely very very clean. I can tell the quality of the pork and beef are high quality. Definitely one of the best taco places I've ever been to. read more

Really great spot in Brea ! Everything on the menu is delicious. Always a welcoming staff as well.

Jonathan the goat. Burrito was awesome. It was delicious burrito it was. The burrito was great.

First time trying Tacomasa on Birch Street in downtown Brea and it did not disappoint. The patio has great vibes and the service was amazing from the moment we walked in. Our server was super friendly, gave us some great recommendations, and even brought us a drink to try since it was our first visit. We ordered the quesa taco with asada and the Pollo Asada chips (added beans) and the chips absolutely stole the show -- loaded, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I was craving nachos that usually send us all the way to Costa Mesa, so discovering a spot this good right here in Brea was a win. Great food, great service, and a fun patio atmosphere. Definitely coming back. read more

Really enjoyed Tacomasa. Loved the smokey flavor on the meats... I loved their vampiros... favorite meat was the chicken. Very tasty! And their chocolate abuelita ice cream was really good. It had a grainy texture to it though, which I didn't mind because it tasted so good. Highly recommend this place! read more

Husband tried this place forever ago and said I needed to try it because it was really good....today I tried it. He was right. And here in Downtown Brea? Back in my day, this area was ok and not super amazing. Tacomasa, you are too good for this area!! I had a carna asada taco and a pollo asado taco. YUMMMMM!! The chicken is definitely on the smokyer side though. Carne asada is soooo good Jamaica is just ok though. HOWEVER, my husband LOVES the watermelon and pineapple one!! read more

The restaurant is a bit on the pricer side however the portions are worth it. The quality of the asada was great. The meat melted in your mouth and soft. I personally wouldn't get the taco plate that comes w rice and beans bc they put it in the sauce container that shouldn't be more considered as a sampling. I had the perception of it being on the plate w your tacos for $12.95. The places is small but there are outdoor seating. The service was very nice and courteous. Thr agua frescas was amazing yoo! There a parking structure in the back. read more

Came here the other night with a friend to enjoy a taco or burritos. Because of the upbeat area the tacos were quite expensive so we opted for quesadillas with meat in them. I got the adobada which is the pork marinated similar to al pastor but cooked differently. My friend picked up the asada meat version. We walked away somewhat filled but personally I could've gotten a few more tacos to go for the road. Plenty of seats inside and outside. Very well lit and the seats were metal and uncomfortable. Service was quick and they even offered to refill my aqua Fresca. They have plenty of parking on the roadway or two public parking areas close by. Come on by to checkout this taco place. read more

The food overall has great flavors but lack in execution. The meats all had excellent flavors - perfectly seasoned, tender, and smokey. However, everything we ordered came out cold. They weren't busy or rushed. The mulita and quesadilla had cheese that was barely melting. The worst was the nachos. I have never had restaurant serve nachos with cold shredded cheese that weren't melted. The whole dish was served cold. The portion was small and barely had any toppings. They are also extremely stingy with their sauces and napkins. Overall we wanted to love this place but will not be back. read more

Tacomasa - Cold shredded cheese on the nachos - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

This place is pretty good. Everything had flavor. There was some heat, but just right. The asada is amazing. But when I got my tacos, burrito and torta to-go, the tacos weren't wrapped on both sides of the flimsy paper plate so the oils leaked from the tacos and made the whole thing messy. The nopales taco was great too! Their agua fresca was ok though ~ guava and lemon. Other than that, food is great! A tad on the pricier side overall.... read more

I ate here. I got 3 asada tacos a plate of chips, elote, 2 small drinks and 3 al pastor tacos. The service was fine the place was clean. However spending near $60 after tip was a but ridiculous for the food we got. The chips (no salsa) were super overly greasy. My wife tipped her al pastor taco the same time I tilted a chip and both dripped with grease. The asada was flavorless. Ifvi had to guess I'd say if the meat was marinated it wasn't given long enough. We literally had to walk away after a bite of each. read more

It's a little pricey, but if you want excellent tacos and one of the best asada fries I've ever had, indulge yourself. Service is fantastic, with the manage walking around to make sure everyone was satisfied with their meal. Will be back! read more

People are going crazy over this new Tijuana-style taqueria that they're calling "in-n-out" but for tacos in Downtown Brea. But let me put you on to something that might be even better than their fresh handmade tortillas... this is not your plain ol' ice cream, this is creamy soft serve made with Abuelita Mexican chocolate so you know it's super rich and comes in vanilla too. And there's even a secret menu item: chocolate and vanilla swirl. Iykyk this is the elite soft serve flavor, and if you heard it from me, no you didn't! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more
