Taco plates + Papa Loka (PRIME)
Tony C.

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!

adobada & pork belly tacos with guac and cheese, adobada & pork belly burrito, rice & beans, chips & guac, adobada mulita, and horchata

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.

Skirt steak, pork belly, Al pastor
Sara B.

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.

Mushroom tacos
Leah C.

YUM! Easy, efficient, delicious! $12 for a hearty meal of mushroom tacos + an INCREDIBLE sides bar. The radishes and limes were fresh, crisp, and bountiful!

Cholo Pizza (PRIME) arrechera
Sam M.

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.

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.

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

Not bad of a place with good options to choose from. Anaheim taco and papa Loka are worth. Highly rated

Mulita (PRIME)
Jessica O.

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!

This is one of my favorite spots for Mexican in OC. Lively atmosphere. Friendly service. Excellent ribeye burritos. Variety of delicious salsas. Expect a line. Recommended.

James S.

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.

Arrachera!!!

Great food! Quick service and great quality. Staff was great love that more locations are popping up!

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!

no dogs are allowed

Do they use lard for cooking?

I went to the Fullerton location and asked the manager and he said yes they cook their tortilla chips and tortillas in lard. They can't make the chips without lard but they can bring out tortillas that are warmed, not cooked, without lard.

Are there any fish or non-meat options here?

There is no fish/seafood. The only item i can think of is the papá loka but order without meat. If you're vegan this might not work because it has sour cream and cheese.

Think "loaded baked potato" but with Mexican food toppings.

Tortillas, frijoles refritos, y tacos Fritos.

Any specials for taco Tuesday?

I believe they have tacos for $1.75 on Tuesdays

Been there several times and did not get any with my orders. I also checked their online ordering site. Doesn't look like they do. Tons of different salsa options but no chips.. Amazing tacos though 😀

Its a cheese stuffed Anaheim pepper on a corn tortilla topped with your choice of meat.
