Churros
Cynthia M.

This restaurant just reopened with new management. It was actually our first time in and we had a great experience. We were greeted upon entering and Mara was our server. She was very attentive and the rest of the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The ambience in the restaurant had a nicer upscale bar feel. Lots of TVs playing football throughout and Latin dance music was playing when we were there. Sound was perfect, not too loud as we were able to have a conversation. They have a great variety in their menu and fun cocktail drinks. We LOVED everything we got! Shared the Surf & Turf Molcajete which was a big portion. The flavors were pretty delish and shrimp was cooked perfectly. Not to mention it was beautiful presentation. Mangoneada was so tasty! I got it blended. Toxicata cocktail their take on the Adios drink And we got the churros - we asked for both the Marzipan and Cinnamon. They were tasty but I wouldn't say they tasted fresh or amazing. Loved the vanilla ice cream. We will definitely come back as it's a great place to have colorful cocktails and good food.

So 2 months ago I leave a review about how their hours are wrong on Yelp, Google & their website. I even took screenscrapes showing all 3 different hours. To this day, the hours are still wrong. You would think someone involved with this business, such as the owner, the GM, or even an employee would see this and say, shit, we need to fix this. But nope. Not TacosWay. This is why this place sucks. They just don't care about anything. And this just proves that.

Chips and salsa were served immediately and the salsa is more of a mild to medium spicy flavor was delicious

my husband and I went in for dinner tonight after not being here since they first opened. We did not like the food before because it was so spicy way too much for us. I was encouraged by the owner to give it a try again because they had revamped the menu. The food was absolutely delicious. It was not as spicy, but it was super flavorful. They have added a barria menu that is delicious. The service was great and the ambience was fun. I would encourage you to try it again if you haven't been for a while. Great value for the amount of food too!

Finally had time to carve out to give this place another whirl, since they reconstructed the staff and menu a few weeks ago. And mainly to support Heather who is one of the most amazing bartenders around. Not even kidding. She is great at perfecting cocktails, they're never too strong never too sweet never to anything they're perfect. And her and Brandon tonight were Rockstars with our party of eight at the bar! The food was kick ass, so flavorful. Before this myself included, but many people thought the salsa here was made out of a can, I am here to tell you that the salsa is very very good and full of roasted pepper flavor. I would absolutely recommend this place, and I plan to frequent here more often.

Forget about what you heard. Tacos Way has the best drinks and vibe in Placentia. We sat at the bar and tried the Gauva and Tamarindo margaritas, margarita flight, the mezcal and whiskey old fashioned, the pineapple and mezcal margaritas, and the micheladas. The michelada mix, as well as the cucumber and Tamarindo purées are made by Cristian - an extremely talented bartender who works Friday evenings and brunch hours. Unlimited mimosas available for 90 minutes during weekend brunch hours ($23). DJ spins reggaeton and modern hip hop Friday evenings and during brunch hours. HH offered M-F from 2pm-6pm with $8 margs and $5 shots. We shared the molcajete, which was spicy and delicious. Service was top notch. We were constantly checked on. I will definitely become a regular here!

This place is way better than the last place that was in this shopping center. Stopped by today to see if they have Taco Tuesday and they do! Beer was $3.50 tacos $1.85 from 3-6pm on Tuesdays. Another cool thing is they have a DJ on weekends and some nights. I am 100% coming back to this place. Don't listen to the reviews talking trash on this place. They sound like people who live near by who are upset by it's success. I live 2 blocks away and am so happy I finally came by. My new hangout. Food quality is also great. I tried Al pastor, chicken, carne asada, carnitas. The chips are homemade daily and you can taste the difference. Modelo on draft with a fresh squeezed lime. Thank you Tacos Way for the Bomblicious food.

Wet burrito. I swear it was probably 7 inches long lol

I just want to thank Wendy my server for making me and my boyfriend feel comfortable and happy. The food was delicious. Worth every penny. I would recommend coming on Mondays because you get 50% off drinks but I'm not sure if it's for all drinks. I ordered a cucumber Margarita and nd my boyfriend ordered a michelada both were incredibly delicious and a great large size. The food and the drink presentations were beautiful and perfect. The ambiance and decor is great, especially for date night or just getting together with friends. There's plenty of bar seating. There's a patio in the front and a patio in the back. The service was fast, fun and friendly. I recommend coming to this place especially if you're a young adult or just in your forties like me. I wouldn't recommend children to come. It's more of a grown up vibe. I like it!. The place is clean, well maintained. Spring is here pretty much so definitely think about this place for spring break drinks.

Ceviche
Anthony V.

I'm New to the area, and it's my 1st time in the TacosWay restaurant. I was greeted with smiles at the door and immediately seated; the atmosphere was laid back with the right amount of volume to the music. Fresh guacamole with homemade chips, tacosway tacos, and Ceviche was very flavorful. The margaritas were outstanding; I had a few plus some shots, which made the evening fantastic, I am looking forward to a return trip or even doing some takeout.

Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina.

You have to be careful not to pass it since there is only one entrance to the parking lot , if you pass the entrance you will have to make a U-turn and come back. We didn't think we would get seated fast because the parking lot was pretty full. But we got lucky and were seated right away. Service is pretty good , they have a lot of people working here. The place is really big and has a lot of seating. It was quite busy. I ordered a Spanish omelette and my son ordered the blueberry pancakes. My omelette was ok, it had way too much peppers and I didn't see the cheese , it comes with a side so I went with country potato with onions and bell peppers. I only wish that it included some kind of toast. My son's pancakes were ok, they are only topped with blueberries we thought the blueberries were going to be inside the batter or inside the pancake. He had to add a lot of syrup to make them soft. The one thing I will say is that the house coffee is very good. It's Lavazza coffee which is really good. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying some other options or coming back for lunch or happy hour.

The bartender acknowledged us right away and brought us menus. They had the hockey playoffs on the TV which was great cause we've been tuning in lately too! My fiancé decided on the house margarita and said it was delicious. Even though it was a "small" (they also come in "large") it was a very reasonably sized marg. She said it was pretty strong, so props for that haha. We stuck to the appetizer menu and went with a steak quesadilla and a shrimp ceviche. The Quesadilla was amazing: tons of queso, poblano chilis, and the steak was so juicy. You could really taste every ingredient in this thing. If we go back, I would definitely order it again. The ceviche was my fiancé's favorite, tasty shrimp, peppers, and avocado in a bomb orange/lime juice. I had to stop her from straight up slurping it up like a soup. She was a big fan, and she orders ceviche often. This was our first visit to Cha Cha's and we really enjoyed it. We've seen it a bunch of times while in downtown Brea, so we thought we'd give it a try, and I guess we've been missing out! The ambience was nice: not too loud, strong drinks, long menu, friendly staff, sports on the tv, and I was shocked when I saw the bill, very reasonably priced. We'll be back, for sure!

It has this dark but classy aesthetic and I was not prepared for that (in a good way). This restaurant has been here for about 2 years with different ownership and menu so I was excited to see what they had to offer. Hugo helped us with our order and he was very friendly and professional. We went ahead and ordered the ahi tuna taco, pork belly bao, garlic fries, the margharita pizza, the yuzu lobster pasta, and for drinks I got the virgin burning thyme. My friend got that and other drinks as well. Ahi tuna taco - 5/5 probably the best food item for the evening. The tuna was fresh, perfect amount of kick in its sauce, and the outter shell was perfectly crunchy. I think them replacing the shell with wonton was exceptional with the texture. Every bite was extremely satisfying. Pork Belly bao - 4/5 everything was delicious. The bow itself is bouncy and moist. There wasn't anything special about the sauce inside with the pork belly, but I would definitely give it a try at least once. A great portion with your friends or family as an appetizer. Garlic fries - 3/5 It was a bit underwhelming, but nothing horrible. I could not taste the garlic at all, but the fries itself was cooked to perfection with the outer being pretty crispy and inside being soft. Margharita pizza - 4/5 I really like the crust and the breading of this pizza. It was crispy and the pepperoni was cooked to perfection. I really like the small pepperoni because it gives an immense amount of flavor in each bite. The cheese and the tomato sauce was fine, but nothing special. Yuzu lobster pasta - 4/5 I wish I was able to taste more of the Yuzu since that's in the name of the dish, but I could not. If it was just called the lobster pasta I would say it's amazing. The tomatoes were perfect to lighten the entire dish with the heavy sauce and the pasta. The lobster was cooked fine. Other than that it was fine, but I would say either enhance the Yuzu flavor or remove it in the name of the dish. Burning thyme - 4.5/5 I really like the acid and the balance of sweetness and sour in this drink. Usually, I get skeptical when I make an alcoholic drink version because the bartender tends to over sweeten the drink, but this was not the case, and I enjoyed it a lot with our food.

I've watched it poured straight into a regular pint glass with no 45-degree angle and no pause for the proper two-step pour. It comes out flat, with barely any creamy head, which completely changes the texture and experience. Guinness isn't just another draft beer; it needs to settle, and it should be served in a proper tulip or Guinness glass to get that classic presentation. The fix is simple: slow the pour down and train the staff on the traditional method. The pub has the vibe. Now it just needs to respect the pint.
