Cholo plate was fire. Tacos were also fire. Papa loka was also fire. Parking was fire. Service was also fire. Thanks Leslie!

This location is my favorite location of the chain. The meat quality is definitely higher here than the other branches. The adobada and costilla de rez was fire. Leslie was an amazing server and very attentive to our table! Parking was easy the wait was a little long but worth it. Would come here again. read more

The tacos were amazing ! They had great customer service, will definitely be coming here more often :)

This place has some of the best tacos I've ever had. My wife and I ordered a number of different tacos as well as a papa loka. Our favorite meats were the beef intestine and the rib eye. I'm not normally a fan of beef intestine, but the one here is amazing and a MUST TRY! Has a nice chewy/crispy texture that you don't get with any other kind of meat. Seriously, don't pass up the beef intestine. All of the meats here have good flavor from the fact that they are grilled using charcoal so you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Highly recommend this place and I definitely will be going back! read more

Tacos Los Cholos is the real deal! Ordered the adobada & pork belly tacos with guac and cheese, adobada & pork belly burrito, rice & beans, chips & guac, adobada mulita, and horchata -- and it was all soo good. The meat is cooked carbon style over charcoal which makes such a difference -- you can taste it. Quality is really high and they're generous with the portions of meat per taco, which is always appreciated. Tacos come with meat and tortilla only, but can add cheese and/or guac. Tons of meat options but the pork belly is the personal favorite. Salsa and toppings bar provided. Also worth knowing -- they do more than just tacos. They have a wide range of menu items, even a pizza on the menu which I have been meaning to try, so already have a reason to go back. Many locations around OC - casual spot, solid service. The lines do get long so be prepared. Been here a handful of times, and they never disappoint. This is 100% my go-to spot to bring people when they want tacos in OC. Highly recommend. read more

So many options of meat that are well cooked! Skirt steak and pork belly were persona favorites of mine. The steak was tender and not chewy. Good portion of meat on tacos too so makes it worth the price. Lots of seating indoors and good service. read more

Came here several times and love this place! I would say it's one of the top five taco restaurants in the OC! They have a wide and solid variety of items in their menu, but I would recommend getting anything with arrechera (skirt steak). Whether it's their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or pizza! However be warned it can be pretty overall greasy and saucy, so even though the food is great, it can sometimes leave you not feeling so great afterwards if you overdo it! That's the only thing! They got tvs so come if you want to watch your favorite team! Service is nice and friendly Plenty of parking! There's a bit of a wait when it gets busy. read more

I bookmarked this taco restaurant a while ago and finally decided to discover there. I avoided the lunch time on Sat. I went over all the reviews on Yelp and everybody said the lunch time was crowded and waited for a long time to order the foods. I got there at 4:30 and noticed half dining area was not filled. Thank God! I ordered right away to our server. Regular, premium, prime 3 tiers for the meats and 3.9% surcharge of credit card payment included the prices. I got one asada, one pork marinated tacos, chips and Guac for $8.79, my hubby got 4 asadas. Taco price w 3.9% credit card service charge is $3.21, $3.09 cash payment. They don't have alcohol drinks. I took a bottle of water from home for me. No choice for drinks for my hubby. I felt the service was not friendly, terrible, our server forced me to pay the bill before I got the foods. She didn't give us any forks, napkins, etc without any explanation how to order the foods or self service for the salsa bar, forks and napkins. I didn't know anything about their system. The salsa bar has lots of different salsas, red spicy, green, pico de gallo, onion pickles, sliced cucumbers, radish, chopped onions, cilantro, limes, and etc. We got the tacos in 15 mins. I smelled the charcoal flavor as soon as I bit my taco. The beef and pork are so tender, flavorful w lots of toppings, salsas, and guacamole. I got Happy feeling w tacos....haha. My hubby liked 4 asada tacos. Tender beefs, flavorful salsas, extra Guac, and etc. He said I will be back soon for more tacos and Taco Tuesday. Excited about Taco Tuesday. I liked the quality of meats grilled with charcoal. What about the service of our server???? I didn't care of 3.9% credit card charge from the price if the quality is premium, but I am really concerned about the service. Today our service was terrible. Why I have to pay the tip???? Pros Meat quality: 5 stars Self Salsa Bar: 5 stars Parking: 5 stars. Spacious in the big plaza Cons Price: credit card payment 3.9% is already charged. Who will pay by cash all the time???? Service: 2 stars Hope they can improve the service. read more

My wife and I went to the new charcoal grilled Taco place in Fullerton. This is popular taco chain restaurant as charcoal grilled meats. We tried to avoid lunch time on Sat. We arrived around 4:30 and no problem to find a table. We ordered 1 asada, 1 marinated pork tacos for my wife, 4 asada tacos for me and chips and Guac, one coke for me. Unfortunately they don't have alcohol drinks like Margherita, beers, and cocktails. I really liked their self salsa bar in the front and on the corner in the back. I tried all different salsas, my fave was green spicy. For asada tacos, very tasty, tender, char smell, and lots of beefs, great tortillas. Loved it w lots of toppings. I also liked chunky guacamole w chips. My wife said, OMG!!! First time char grilled asada tacos..... Pros 1)Price is not too high but 3.9% credit card charge is included on the price. 2)Service is not great, our server forced my wife to pay as soon as we ordered. She said she was leaving.... 3)big parking lots Cons 1)No alchol drinks 2)3.9% surcharge included for the credit card payment 3)Lots of noise read more

100% worth the hype. This was my 2nd visit and I was not disappointed. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it was very busy. There were not any tables readily available so we opted to take our order to go. You have the option to order via kiosk or in person. We ordered a pastor mulita and asada tacos. And oh my goodness they were SO good! I'm still thinking about them a week later. The food arrived fairly quickly after ordering (maybe we waited 10-12 minutes), despite the vast amount of people. There's an assortment of salsas and toppings available for you to enhance your tacos (although they are great plain, as well). I will definitely be back over and over again! read more

I finally tried Tacos Los Cholos and it definitely lived up to the hype. The tacos were packed with flavor perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and those handmade tortillas just hit different. You can tell they take pride in the food they make. The carne asada was juicy and cooked just right, and the salsas had a great kick without overpowering the food. But my favorite was the sweet pork taco.The vibe is casual but always busy be prepared to wait in along line, which says a lot about how good the spot is. Only downside is the wait can get a little long, but honestly, it's worth it. If you're a taco lover, this place is a must try. read more

Tacos Los Cholos in Fullerton definitely has larger parking lot compared to the Anaheim location, but don't be fooled, you still have to drive around a bit to snag a spot, especially on a weekend. Weekday nights aren't terrible but expect to have a bit of a walk from the back of the lot. I love the staff here! They were so kind and checked in with me when I was looking for napkins. The service was crazy fast! I think they're more efficient here because someone seats you and takes your order. At Anaheim, you need to order at the register and then seat yourself. We were surprised at how quickly our order came out, but (again) this was on a Monday. We normally take the food to go and that does take a while. My go-to is their asada. Their adobada is also solid. I tried their mulita for the first time and it was delicious. One is enough because there is plenty of meat and cheese. I ordered a mineragua sparking water, and not only was the bottle chilled, the also brought me a large cup with ice. Pricing is average. I think they were on the higher end before, but it's now it's on par with how other spots are pricing their tacos. They're still the best in town, in my opinion. Cholos does not miss! read more

I tried the burrito and a few tacos. Hands down, the beef rib tacos were the best thing I had. Super flavorful and just hit right. The burrito with their regular asada was good, just not my personal favorite compared to the tacos I got! Service was good, even when it started getting pretty busy, which I expected. I also really liked their tortillas and I appreciate that they let you add your own sauces instead of loading the tacos up for you. Overall, good experience. I'd definitely come back, and next time I already know I'm going straight for the beef rib tacos again. read more

Wow!! I can see why this place is so popular!! But first...I have to give a shout out to Leticia (Letty), she was extremely helpful and checked with us on how everything is, and checks to see if we need any more water! She was awesome!! Now...for the tacos we ordered...OMG...chef's kiss!! I wish there is one in the West San Fernando Valley!! I ordered Chorizo and Pork Belly tacos and my hubby got the Chicken taco, and the Asada. We both loved it. But since I'm writing this (lol), my goodness the meats are so full of flavor and meat portions were generous!! We also ordered Chips and Guacamole and side of Beans and Rice. All delish! The size of the guacamole excellent. My favorite part also, I love their salsa bar!!! It has Onions, Cilantro, Radish etc. My favorite salsa is the Chimichurri!! Place was packed with people on Monday evening, we only waited 20 minutes. Parking is free, because this is located next to other restaurant and grocery, so we parked a tad bit further, but still in same parking lot. Love the vibe here and nice. read more

I love this location better than the original location. Less chaotic and seems like from a year ago, they've changed the process to get seated. Honestly better that they track the line because it feels less chaotic and less rushed. You check in with someone in front and they will call you in and you order & pay at the table. As always, I get the papa loka with a half n half filet mignon with something else. I think the quality of meat has changed--much smaller and not the really good filet. Still good and the salsa bar is always so fresh. read more

We both enjoyed Tacos Los Cholos in Anaheim, so my boyfriend and I were excited to try their Fullerton location. It was at night and the parking lot was packed and the exterior lighting here was burnt out so it was dark. The plaza should really look into that for safety. At we approached we can see a crowd of people wait outside the restaurant. This location is really organized. They have a line for takeout, and a host stand in front for dine in. They told us it would be around 20-25 minutes, which is pretty accurate of an estimate. At their other location the dine ins order in line and fight for a table, but here they will seat you and take your order. Service was super friendly and on top of things. The pricing here varies if your protein is a regular, premium or prime. There is also a different price for cash versus credit card payment. My boyfriend had a burrito, 2 tacos, and a Coke ($2.08/can). I had a Pork Belly Taco ($4.15), Ribeye Taco ($9.14), Adobada Quesadilla ($9.87), and a Horchata ($4.94). While waiting for our food, we went to their sauce bar for sauce and condiments. They really stay on top of refilling these 2 stations, one in the front and one in the back of the restaurant. My favorite sauces were the aguacate and the chimichurri. And the radishes give a nice relief after the spicy bites of chile. Yum! Loved all the food. I think the adobada and pork belly were just better value. The ribeye was good but not sure it's good enough to be triple a regular protein and more than double a premium protein. Still worth a try if you're visiting for the first time. Tacos Los Cholos is one of my trusted taco joints while I'm in OC... but if you're in LA, stay in LA for the tacos out there. read more

I went with my college hiking group of 12 people and we got a table reserved ahead of time which ensured we all were able to have seats ready for us once we all got there. They provide water when you sit down which is a nice touch. The menu is surprisingly simple with three tiers of meat options. I ended up getting the carne asada mulitas with chips and guac. There is also a salsa bar provided. Secondly don't expect to be seated as easily since it's always busy even between lunch and dinner hours. Unfortunately order was left out so they informed me about the mistake but remade my order without any charge. Overall I did have a good experience and I will go back again. I would just highly recommend to have your orders to go since the line for just to go orders went out the door which makes is extra crowded. read more

I love tacos Los cholos. It's one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always fire here! Everything from the tacos, papa loka, torta, cholo pizza, mulita, burritos, and quesadillas, it is all yummy! They haven't disappointed me once. Service is great too. They're always quick and attentive. Our server today, Leticia, was super nice! She was always on top of refilling our waters which I highly appreciated. read more

Wait was insaneeee on a tuesday night? We waited 45 minutes, but once we got seated and ordered the food came out INSTANTLY. The portions are huge and the sauce bar is stacked. I definitely recommend coming to try at least once because the service is so fast and food is authentic. Meats tried: -adobada -pork belly -costilla de res -asada -tripa Personal favorites were the tripa (ask for extra crispy) and the asada were delicious!! The secret menu vampiro is also super good, I would get that and a extra crispy tripa taco for my future order (: the papa loka is huge, i definitely recommend sharing that unless you're a big back. read more

Such a delicious taco spot. I got the adobada taco and the rib eye taco (medium rare) and both were fire. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and it was so juicy with so much flavor. 10/10 The adobada was also good, not the best I've ever had but definitely a really good quality adobada 8.5/10 There's a sauce bar where you can grab whichever sauce you want along with what veggies you want. The sauces had a nice kick and complemented the tacos well. The taco shell itself definitely seems house made. Would definitely return here. Service was also fast! read more

There's always a line out the door at Tacos Los Cholos, and for good reason. They have three tiers of meat: regular, premium, and prime. As one who always seeks the optimal, prime carne asada is the way. I ordered prime ribeye and prime filet mignon - medium-rare. The steak is expertly grilled over a mesquite charcoal fire, which layers fantastic smoky flavor on top of high quality meats. There's a reason why ribeye is my favorite cut. The large meaty chunks are the perfect balance of bold beefy flavor and rich marbling. The filet mignon is no slouch either and it's the softest, most tender meat you can find in a taco. Also, the salsa bar is glorious. Every salsa is so delicious and a couple are actually pretty fiery. The chile gueros are a bit caramelized. Spring for the grilled cebollitas. The efficient friendly team will line you up for dine in or take out, and the wait is about the same. For take-out, there's a kiosk. read more

What can I say about this place? If the Dodgers had them hosted their parties, you know it's damn good. I had to try it myself and indeed, I can see why there's a line, but it goes by fast. The price is slightly pricier than typical tacos joints/trucks, but you pay for what you get. I absolutely love the prime ribeye. It's tender and juicy and yes $9/tacos, but they don't skimp out on the meat!! The arrachera and tripes are my 2nd and third favorite. I ordered the pork belly, but I guess they made a mistake and gave me steak instead. It's still delicious. Horchata is on point. Sweet and creamy. The place is pretty clean for a Mexican restaurant. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff on the menu. I do love the self serve salsa so I tried a varieties of salsa and my favorite is the green ones! The service was on point. They gave us water and asked if we enjoyed our food and checked on us. read more

Delicious tacos and great service. Also, parking here is much easier than the Anaheim branch. Not sure if it's placebo, but I do think the Anaheim branch tastes a bit better--the meats seem juicier and smokier there. However, considering that parking is easier here and the interior is nicer, I think it's an acceptable trade off for a 10% difference in taste. Their premium cuts are great, I think it's the best price value proposition. All premium options are yummy. Prime cuts are good too but not worth the price difference to me. read more

This place is a 10/10! Flavor, bomb, the wait out the door is so worth it, I've been here countless times now!

Parking is a panic but the lot is huge. The ambiance is what we expected, inner city, the service was decent but we will go back for the food. I ordered a torta arranchera and it was amazing. I get to eat the other half tomorrow. The family next to us said put it in the air fryer and that's the plan. Everyone else liked their meal, I was too busy to notice. Stop eating whatever you're eating and drive to Fullerton. No pictures,... I was too busy. read more

Tacos Los Cholos are the best, authentic tacos around town (like get ready to stand in a not so clean parking lot)! The only downside is that now that everyone knows that they're the best, it gets absolutely packed! I always get some classic tacos - asada, beef tongue, etc but this time I also tried the quesadilla and the baked potato. The baked potato is to die for! And I'm not normally even a baked potato kind of person! It has that melty oaxacan cheese and you add your choice of protein (beef for me, always). It is gigantic so make sure you have the room or at least a friend to share it with. It is so worth it! I don't love that they took away the salsa bar but I get it from covid germs. I appreciate that they're trying to keep their restaurant and food clean and germ-free! I do wish they would give out more salsas because we were short some as we were eating but they are still the best tasting! read more

((Friday 4pm)) I've been here before. Food is always great. This place is always a vibe with their music choice. (((I know this place is known to be busy! But during the time we went the place was not busy or packed.))) I know outside of work everyone has a life and although we may try not to bring it to work we do at times, we are human. With that being said today wasn't the best day. Service from the start was bad. Our waitress had a a bad attitude. She only took our drink order, brought it to us then disappeared. After about 10 minutes of waiting. A second, waitress next to us noticed we were all looking around. She asked if we had been helped, told her no so she apologized and took over. (She was very kind and polite) Food was great came out fast But once it was time to pay we sat there again for 10 minutes waiting to get the check. We had to call a different(now third) waitress over to close our bill out. There was no sign of our first or second waitress. As we sat there waiting for our receipt we saw our first waitress, she didn't once come up to our table to check on us. It almost took 5 minutes to get the receipt. I hope next time we go it's a different experience because this place is different worth eating at. Food 9/10 Vibe 8/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Location 7/10 Service 4/10 Overall 7/10 Fullerton location does NOT sale alcohol. (Maybe later but not currently) ((Everyone has different experiences, remember to be kind)) read more

Amazing! First there is always a line so expect to wait. When you enter there is two lines: the left is to order and pay. And the right is to pick up. Sooo yes there are two lines when you go in! Also after you order, there is another line, if there is one, for all the sides and salsas for your order. You can go and pack as much as you want. There is also cash and credit card prices but not that much difference. Even based on the meats, the prices does change Portions are huge! Their tacos and loaded baked potatoes are amazing! They even have their pizza versions, I saw many people try it and share among the family. The place itself is a decent size but it does get packed very very quickly. read more

TL;DR Carne asada tacos are seasoned well and tender. I would stick to regular tacos. Service was great. The staff are kind and attentive, despite being packed. Food: The carne asada is seasoned well and tender. The rice & beans are good. Their guacamole is creamy and bright. The prime cuts are very tender but taste like they are only seasoned with salt, so they aren't worth the price for me. The tacos are a little small, but they're filled with meat. The salsas are spicy, which I liked, but I wish it was more flavorful. I wish the agua fresca tasted more fresh. Service and Ambiance: The restaurant was packed, but there was only a 10-15 minute wait. We got to our table very quickly. The staff are all very kind and attentive. All the tables were filled, but the server checked on our table with good timing. I really enjoyed the music. read more

Here for taco Tuesday! Los Cholos is the absolute best taco spot around! Today we got adobada, chicken and asada tacos, plus the Cebollitas. The aguas are a little too sweet for us, but I love the bottled Coke with lots of ice. There are just a few negatives: They can be stingy with the ice. My mom's favorite meat is chorizo, and when we first came they were good, but since then the meat is always burnt and doesn't sit well, so we stopped ordering them. Finally, they do not have straws - paper or plastic- so bring your own if you're like me and like straws! On the positive, they have a great salsa bar - our favorite is the chimichurri sauce. Also, the new seating system is AWESOME! You just check in and chill; once you are seated, you can order from your seat. So convenient! We used to stress out about finding a table when dining in. Finally, the service is generally really good. Keep up the great work and open more locations please! But also, don't decline in quality. (; read more

I didn't know what to expect when coming to this location. I am used to the Anaheim location which can get very busy during lunch hours. I ended up coming here after work and arriving around 4pm. Surprisingly no line and hardly anyone in the restaurant. I ordered 15 minutes ahead thinking it would be super busy. I ended up dining in when i received my food. The employees were nice and attentive. I really love everything about this establishment (Anaheim + Fullerton locations). The salsa bar is amazing and they offer a wide variety of salsas. I ordered regular, premium and prime tacos, a burrito and horchata. Everything was super delicious. You can even purchase the regular tacos and they are to die for. Asada for the win at this place. I would love to try the pork belly cholo pizza, as i keep hearing such great things about it. This is fast becoming my favorite taco place. They really need to start doing taco tuesday deals and serve nachos. I would be coming here a lot more if they did. A serve yourself salsa bar with all the toppings really puts this place on a top tier taco level. I will most definitely keep coming back to try the other things on the menu. The biggest difference i see looking at both locations mentioned is the parking is easier at Fullerton and less busy. It seems like the Anaheim location has a nice grill outside though... not sure if that makes a difference in taste, but i am sure going to examine that next time. read more

Bomb tacos and certain taco Tuesday deals for $2.08 (panela, adobada, pollo, chorizo). So sad the asada is not part of it but all good we all know beef is expensive. The portions are pretty big. The workers are super quick and friendly too. 5 stars for the new organization system they have in Tuesdays! No more scrambling for tables. Instead they have a waiting system for tables now upon arrival, just like standard sit down restaurants. And ample parking compared the Anaheim location. read more
