    the price list for the restaurant
    Jenny N.

    Utterly so disappointed! This truck use to be my absolute favorite! Why would you mess up a good thing! I had a pretty large order - 3 Birria tacos (no onions, extra crispy) - 2 Tripas - 5 carne asada tacos ( 3 no onions) - 1 carne asada burrito (no beans no rice) - 2 Horchatas I proceeded to tell the cashier my order. She would interrupt constantly. She would not listen and after me confirming 3 times, she responded with yes, yes, okay and proceeded to charge me. I ordered all the tacos ( besides the birria) to be small tacos. However, she corrected me and said the small are the tacos and the bigs are the burritos. WHAT?!!! You still charged me large tacos! I didn't want to argue, and thought "Whatever! I'm still getting tacos!" I asked her to make sure the burrito came with no rice or beans but we still want onions, cilantro, and cheese. "Okay, okay, everything!."was what she responded. Again... " no. I want the burrito WITHOUT rice and beans" Well... when the order came out, none of my order was correct. Things that shouldn't have onions had onions and things with onions did not. The burrito only had meat... when I told her I wanted small tacos and not the large ones she told me they already made it... can't change it now. (Whatever, same difference, right?) WRONG! Miscommunication was frustrating but what happened to the food?!! Granted the portion of meat was plentiful but they forgot to season EVERYTHING! I literally thought they changed owners or workers! My birria was white! It lacked flavor and tasted like meat floss. The consumme that use to be so soothing and flavorful was now reduced to something sad. The tripas that was once crispy now tasted boiled and truthfully, inedible. I literally went home and had to turn on that stove and recooked all the food! Only thing I still enjoyed was their avocado salsa. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! It was 51$ for our order and I probably would have rather paid for el pollo locos "birria." (I think that says a lot!)

    WHERES THE MEAT? This is a carne asada burrito sadly; if I wanted this much rice I would've gone to a Chinese restaurant. Avoid

    IF I WOULD HAVE WANTED THIS MUCH RICE I WOULD HAVE GONE TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT Ordered a carne asada burrito but received a rice burrito. Contents were about: 60% rice 35% beans 5% what I actually wanted (See photo) I so dislike burrito experiences like this. Lesson learned, never order a burrito from a taco truck, certainly not this one.

    Really good food, good service the lady is really nice if you ask for extra salsa or something else she said yes no problem I'm so happy I be back soon

    I definitely underestimated the amount of food they give you here at Tacos el Chente, so my late night snack quickly became a late nigh FEAST. The order consisted of the following tacos: Taco Naco -- You're getting a mountain of meat! 4 different kinds of meat (I believe were pollo, pastor, asada, and chorizo). Carne Asada -- Pretty good and fresh! A classic taco choice if you aren't one for crazy meats. Cabeza -- As opposed to other taco places, this was genuine cabeza, not shredded! Chewy and fatty in the best ways. All these hit the spot and I had a refreshing Jamaica to finish it all off, yum! (For those unfamiliar, it reminded me of cranberry juice.) The employees were kind too.

    Love these tacos and the flavor! The tortilla had a nice crisp but was still soft at the same time, while the meat was nicely flavored. They definitely don't skimp out on how much meat they give you. I had the carne asada and al pastor, both of which tasted great. The avocado salsa is also really good and a great addition to the flavor. The lady is very nice when she takes your order. The only thing i wish i had more of was onions and cilantro added in the taco, but you can add your own at their condiments bar.

    Really horrible service
    Cesar C.

    It is really not appreciated when she takes my order and multiple people that arrived after me get there food first service i just hope the food is good since i am waiting here for almost 20 minutes! Update: she forgot my order!!!! She asked me if i was going to order i had to show her my receipt!!!

    Tacos were so bland and tasteless. $22 for 9 mini tacos is pretty pricey especially not tasting that good. First and last time for sure.

I've been pretty meh on birria because I've had it at other places before and I've always thought it was fine. Not bad, just not amazing. This place does it so well!! Get the quesabirria you will not regret it! It is super flavorful and crispy! Food can take a while to come out. I think we waited like a good 15 mins+ after we got out quesabirria for our burrito to arrive. We got an al pastor burrito which was solid, but not as amazing as the quesabirria. I really appreciate the variety of sauces, and I believe they put on this one special sauce in a container that is REALLY spicy, but has like that Mexican candy flavor. My friend was able to snag one for us to try, but when I tried to get up to get one for my partner and I, I didn't see any left, so I assume they restock it periodically. Decent amount of parking just for the restaurant.

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

I used to come here on Taco Tuesdays only because the tacos were $1 and the line at El May is always too long. I chose convenience over taste, but in the end, this place offers neither. On my last visit, I waited about 40 minutes for my tacos. I ordered six and only managed to eat three before realizing I had overpaid and that the $1 tacos weren't worth my time or the effort it took to chew them. I threw the remaining three straight into the trash. I genuinely chose to go hungry rather than finish them. The meat and tortillas were both bad, and the portion sizes were pitiful. I honestly don't recommend this place at all, especially when Tacos El May is literally right next door.

This one has been around for a long time and still draws a steady crowd. They used to be open twenty four hours, which was a huge perk, but even now it remains a go to choice for quick and flavorful tacos. I ordered their street tacos, which continue to be some of the best I have had in Orange County. They remind me of tacos I have eaten in Mexico. They are small in the perfect way, two or three bites and you are through the taco, which is exactly what a good street taco should be. The meat has a rich and savory flavor that stands out right away. The red sauce is bold and adds the right amount of heat without overpowering the rest of the taco. The staff here is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the charm of the place. Service moves fast even when they are busy. Inside, the space has that classic street taco shop feel. It can get crowded, especially during peak times. The only thing I would like to see improved is a little more attention to cleaning the tables when the rush hits since you sometimes have to sit at a spot that was not wiped down yet. It is not a major issue but it is the only reason my rating is four stars instead of five. Overall, Taqueria Mexico is excellent and remains one of my favorite spots for authentic street style tacos. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple and flavorful meal that feels true to the roots of Mexican street food.

    Taquería Mexico: The Incredible Shrinking Taco…read more I remember when this place had lines out the door. Cinco de Mayo, I'm craving tacos, I show up expecting chaos. There's 3 people ahead of me. Jackpot, right? Wrong. They move so slow that a line forms behind me anyway. 15 minutes later I finally order: 2 carne asada, 2 al pastor to go, onion + cilantro on the side, salsa included. $2.65 each, FYI. Get home, crack open the foil, and... are these tacos for ants? I'm not crazy, so I did what any rational adult does: pulled out a food scale. Three tacos, weighed the meat. All came in at _under 1 oz_. Normal tacos run 1.5 oz. These are missing a full half-ounce of dignity. I usually need 2-3 bites per taco. These? One bite. I tested it. Slid right in like a communion wafer. Flavor? Aggressively mid. Carne asada tasted like it gave up halfway through cooking. Pastor was just... there. Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. Like a beige PowerPoint slide. Sides? Salsa bar? Pickled onions, grilled jalapeños, radishes? Nah. This place is a desert. You get foil, meat confetti, and the crushing realization that $2.65 bought you disappointment. Now I know why the line died. Taquería Mexico isn't even phoning it in -- they hung up. Orange County really is the undisputed champion of mid tacos. I live 1 mile from the LA County line and I'm forced to cross it like a taco refugee. Sad, because I _want_ to support brick-and-mortar spots. But not when they're actively shrinking my dinner. Giving them 3 stars on Yelp because I was raised right. Real score: 4.8/10. The pics on their site are pure fiction from 2012. Don't believe me? I took a pic of the meat on my scale as evidence. CSI: Taco Division. Do better, Taquería Mexico. This is shameful.
