    Carne asada torta
    Tony S.

    First time here for lunch and I have to say, I was surprised. The torta was well done. The cheese was thick, the carne was juicy and the green salsa at the salsa stand was superb. Loved this place. Will definetly be returning

    Cabeza Quesadilla
    Gerina O.

    Parking is a little tight but very doable. They serve a good variety of meats for their tacos, quesadillas and burritos. Service is fast and they take credit card. There's plenty of seating in the restaurant. I got a cabeza quesadilla and I thought it was a really good portion for the price - lots of meat and cheese. I got a horchata as well and that was ok.

    1-BEEF BIRRIA RED TACO, ADDED CHEESE
    Jessica B.

    I ordered food to-go and brought it home a few minutes down the street. The restaurant was clean and the right amount of busy for a Friday night. The service was fairly quick. I ordered the hardshell potato tacos, a couple of tacos al pastor, and a quesabirria taco. The potato tacos are perfectly flavored and still the perfect crunchiness after transport, which is always a fear of mine when ordering food that is intended to be crispy and crunchy. The al pastor is juicy and delicious, the tacos are a good size each. The quesabirria taco shell was the perfect amount of crispy and the meat inside was so tender. It was a great taco. The creamy green (jalapeño? avocado?) salsa was my absolute favorite. It complimented all of the tacos so perfectly, and it wasn't overly hot/spicy.

    A hidden gem in Anaheim! It's a very busy restaurant but the service is quick. The tacos are a generous portion with great flavor! I ordered tacos al pastor and carne asada. You get them plain and there's a self serve salsa bar with all the fixings. The salas are spicy and soooo delicious! The burritos are huge too. I can't wait to come back and try the birria tacos and more.

    Found this spot while I was around the area.. decided to try it based off reviews and I was not disappointed!! The portions are pretty big enough and I purposely didn't finish my food to have leftovers for the next day. It was just as delicious! This place is definitely worth driving 30min for! They even have a dessert place next door that I wanted to try so it gives me an excuse to go back out there. Service was friendly and it was busy so our food came out at different times... didn't bother me since my boyfriend and I always share food anyway!

    Decide to try this place since there's always a line. So glad I came and checked it out. The food was delicious and the prices were decent. We 2 orders of the 3 birria tacos with a side of consume. On my order I got 2 birria and chivo, the meat (chivo) was tough and not tender but good flavor. The beef birria was super delicious. Also the vampiros were so good. Also their red sauce n guac sauce are fire, the green sauce tasted like tomatios. Love that they have the sauces and veggies buffet style. The parking is is small but worth the wait.

    Bad burnt chorizo
    Ken C.

    Don't know what happen here....chorizo was not even eatable with tons of hard burnt meat also the vampiro taco was not even a taco but yet a soggy mess that you can't even eat as an taco ......I'll rather stick to the taco stands/ trucks next time

    Judy D.

    Not the cheapest spot but it's so worth it with the food quality here. Asada, Al pastor tacos were great but the flautas and birria tacos were amazing. Also got the tripa taco and it was so yummy, doesn't have any intestines smells. There was a line to order but I got the food pretty quickly. Parking wouldn't be the best here a bit tight but wasn't too horrible. Would totally be back.

    Salsa

    Came in this late afternoon and Everytime I get food here I wonder why I don't come here more often. Had a mobile order (street taco, vampire and a couple mulitas). Everything was delicious. When you come here get SOMETHING birria. Something. Portions are great everything was fresh and all of the salsas are great. In the past I've had the quesadillas and Tortas and you really can't go wrong here. Place is clean, staff is friendly and there's actually parking. 10/10 must try -a local

    Thalia H.

    To start place is clean all the way, friendly staff. We tried the wet burrito, red sauce is spicy but worth it! Tripe is crunchy and not burnt. Tongue was soft and flavorful and well as the pastor. Watermelon water was just on point with sweetness, mago and orange water combined perfectly together. Will definitely come back.

    ngl i came here and newly discovered el patron cause tacos los cholos line was so long... but this place did not disappoint. ordered a whole bunch of items and everything was GASSSSSS 10/10 in each bite. portions were solid and the meats were tender! service was quick and staff were kind :) tacos el patron still gets busy asf! the seats were limited and my only critic is that it gets a bit oily... other than that everything is incredibly delicious

    Does this restaurant serve goat meat birria?

    Yes, they do.

    Does it have seating inside?

    No. I have not seen any. Pretty much a togo place. Maybe because of the pandemic(?).

    Do they have a Taco Tuesday?

    I would call to find out. I don't remember seeing anything about Taco Tuesday. Good luck.

    Tienen tacos al vapor?

    Si si mui bien

    What's the difference between a quesabirria being "regular" or "prepared"?

    I've had two types of Burris here. I think regular is a regular taco and prepared is with a lot of cheese and then the taco is grilled to melt it so that it comes out like a taco-quesadilla.

    Does anyone know the phone number to place an order?

    7146037446 they usually answer pretty quick.

    Everyone has a Taco Trail, a Taco Map, Taco Tour, whatever you wanna call it. You know, those taco…read morespots you have to hit when you need a fix. And if you don't have one, you should probably remedy that. And when you have one, be sure to add this place to it. We took a little week long road trip to Disneyland with the kiddos, and of course was craving a little Taco time. The Wifey, being much more up to date on this social media stuff, found this place on that "Insty gram" thingy. So we headed over. It's only a 10-15 minute drive from Disney, but after trying it, would gladly drive a hell of a lot further. It's a Disney themed taco spot! The decor is cool, the owner and his staff are even cooler, and the food is awesome!!! I thought the "Tacos Chingones" were gonna be regular street tacos, but nooo... these things were epic! The "Gobernador," grilled shrimp, with cheese and house made pico, on fresh corn tortillas. The beeer battered fish taco with cabbage, house pico, sour cream and secret sauce. The pork belly taco, with onions, cilantro, avocado sauce and pickled onions, that really helped balance out that deliciously unctuous porky pig. AMAZING!!!! Then, they have a whole separate Birria menu!!! So of course, being a fat kid, I had to try the Birria Quesadilla. It was loaded with delicious, slow cooked, beef Birria and melty, gooey, stretchy Oaxaca cheese. You could taste all the spice notes, the cinnamon, cloves, thyme and Mexican Oregano all singing in harmony with the Pasilla, Guajillo and Arbol chilies. Then that consommé... that delicious preserved broth oozing with Birria goodness. Puts it right on par with the best roast beef and French dip you've ever had. And I'm not even gonna go into the house made, family recipe salsas sitting there conveniently at the table, ready to set your food on next level fire!!! Especially the "Chikali" salsa. Created by the owner himself, this sauce is literally fire. Spicy, but not overly, and so, so flavorful! If he doesn't start bottling them and selling them, he's doing himself and the taco community a disservice. Anywho... I washed it all down with a couple of delicious, ice cold Pacifico cerveza's and called it a night. I left full, fat and happy. Fueled up and ready to hit the park again in the morning. The moral of the story is, if you're anywhere near Anaheim and you're craving some good, modern, Mexican food, be sure to put this place on your Taco itinerary. And if you're not craving Mexican food, reevaluate your life decisions and go here anyway. You'll be glad you did. That is all!

    Service was horrible. My friend visited California and wanted to try this place; it was our first…read moretime here, we had about three or four questions, but the cashier server did not want to answer them at all. There were only two parties at the restaurant, already seated, and no one behind us; so there was no excuse since there was no rush. The food is very salty, greasy. Nachos were soggy because heavily sauce. Bathroom are dirty. Please clean. Parking lot is rough. Won't be back. Do not recommend.
