    Beef burrito
    Christopher T.

    Reasonable price for big portion and great, friendly & fast service. The place is clean and spacious with seats/tables on the window side and service/kitchen on the other side. Overall the food is good for the price and they do have other dishes besides burritos.

    Starting off with the service. The service was friendly. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and promptly attended. It is my first time here. I ordered the carne asada fries. Good amount of toppings, good serving. It lacked cheese, or maybe it wasn't spread out properly. There were too many fries with nothing on it. The asada tasted good, it had good flavor. The place itself was very clean, everything was stocked. There was multiple people present. Will most likely be returning, to give another item a try.

    Unlimited lime, onions, and pickled carrots

    5 !! I had the Al pastor burritos without the beans with everything on it for $12 and it was amazing. The seasoning was done just right. The store has a bathroom and provides unlimited lime, picked carrots, and chopped onions which I added to my burrito. I also asked for each of their 2 liquid salsa and they put it in a saucer for you. I smoked the burrito there on the spot and ate tons of their picked carrots and onions that I put as toppers on my burrito. Super solid food and I would visit for their Tuesday specials.

    Went here for a late night meal and it did not disappoint. The service was very straight-forward and the food came out pretty fast. Prices were also very reasonable, if not lower than the prices I see in Santa Ana. We ordered the buche quesadillas and California burrito. The amount of meat they gave us on the burrito was insane. At least 3 to 4 scoops of carne asada.

    9 Taco Tuesday & taquitos

    This place is located near La bodega store. This was my boyfriend's and I first time coming here. Since my boyfriend heard his cousin goes here and wants it to give it a try. Today, we got 9 tacos and we only got them for $1.69 since it was taco Tuesday today their original price would be $2.29. I love their deals here for the tacos honestly can save you so much coins. We also got taquitos as well since my boyfriend ordered it; I didn't know what to get. The tacos were very flavorful, delicious, and meat is very tender and easy to chew. My boyfriend would rate his tacos a solid 4/5 and I would rate it a 5/5. I also love their red & green sauce it is the BEST sauce that any taco place should have in their taco restaurant. My boyfriend and I thought the taquitos were alright it just needs salt for the seasoning, but the it was crunchy, smooth, and crispy. The lettuce and other condiments were delicious. We both would give this a 3/5 since it lack a bit of seasoning. They have their condiments station which you can get on your own with a small bag and the condiment station has limes, onions & jalapeño mixed, and carrots. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking, but it is very small. I would definitely come back here for their taco Tuesday if I want a good taco.

    I just spent $72 on tacos and I do not regret it. They are about $2 each and they have all the different types of meats: asada, al pastor, pollo, carnitas, buche, cabeza, lengua, and chorizo. I had to get a variety to try them all. My favorites were the carnitas, al pastor, and lengua. They all came with cilantro, onions, sauce, and a pretty good amount of meat. The tortillas are also pretty good. The guy who puts them together are pretty quick. I just wish they gave you more sauce when you ask for it. The line can get a little long here since they can only really do one at a time. I do want to come back and try their menudo which looked oh so good. Pricing is pretty low. They do charge $.75 if you use your card.

    Love this location! They have a great Taco Tuesday deal (1.49 each) and I ordered 7 tacos for $10-11. It was such quick service and there was a lot of parking. The workers are very nice and their food was very fragrant and fresh. They have extra lime and sides on the bar near the counter. There is a small free for using card so bring cash if you can. I would come back again if I wanted delicious street tacos! There is a lot of seating inside as well if you want to dine in.

    We ordered 3 tacos (asada, pollo, and al pastor), a carne asada quesadilla, and cabeza burrito. Prices were good and they do give a lot of meat, but everything tasted just okay. Meats were lacking flavor and the quesadilla had barely any cheese. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back.

    My partner and I got food poisoning here! We love tacos and try so many different food trucks before and were fine, so I was shocked to have this happen at a sit in taqueria. When we went it was 11pm, we got the lengua, asada, pollo, and pastor. When I tried the lengua it seemed off to me, but didnt think too much about it at first, but then my stomach started to hurt shortly after eating and I regretted it. It was painful. My partner's tummy started to hurt later in the night and we had trouble sleeping, and were feverish. So disappointing this had happened. Service was okay, straightforward, ordered our food, they gave us what was needed. Inside was a bit dirty, and run down.

    so sad on my dinner today.  we told him no beans no rice on our burritos. came home all we got was beans and rice.
    Cathy L.

    I love this place but they need worker that understand our order. ask for no beans n rice that's all we got.

    I've come here twice because I don't live in California, however, I'm giving 4 stars. The tacos are at a price of $1.99 which is good for lots of us lol but sometimes I'd rather pay a little more for some great tacos. I've only had their tacos of asada, cabeza, buche, carnitas. The tacos are small, yet I don't really like that they add more onion than cilantro, I like my tacos to have a fair amount of both toppings. The salsas are good yet I don't like that they add a little too much for my liking. I love the asada and the cabeza. Buche was okay today and carnitas was a little not to fresh this time. For drink I had an horchata, and it's great. 1 star off for tables not being clean other than that, it's a decent place. Service is good, everyone there is friendly.

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.
