    Sope de chicharrón guisado y huitlacoche
    Milly T.

    My dad loves his hole in the wall spots so he told me to go try and omg definitely hidden but so so worth the try! It's a ma and pa restaurant and they are welcoming. Food took a little while to come out but not over 30 minutes. They have a salsa bar, plenty of seating, and ac. The food tasted like authentic Mexican food can't wait to try their other entrees! Ps they only take cash BUT they also accept Zelle

    Fast service good food always busy highly recommended never a disappointed customer here

    Chilaquiles Verdes
    Dustin B.

    The quality of the Chilaquiles dish and the service is in sharp contrast to the atmosphere. The little corner strip mall is a bit run down and has a CircleK that can be downright scary at night. I ate my breakfast in the parking lot on a clean table under an EZ-UP but I left like a million bucks because the service and food were so good. The Chilaquiles here includes a piece of carne asada, two eggs, rice and beans. You choose red or green chilaquiles. I ordered at the counter and went outside to sit down. You need to know some Spanish but everyone was nice about my horrible attempts at speaking. As soon as I sat down, someone brought me a chipotle salsa, an avocado salsa, and a basket of chips that have been lightly covered in beans and cheese and toasted. A free appetizer, nice! Later the huge breakfast plate came out as you can see in the picture. Rice was perfectly fluffy, with a taste of tomato. The beans were creamy and had a hint of pork and epazote flavor. So good! The piece of carne asada was thin flap meat pounded and thoroughly cooked but had distinctive Asada flavor and wasn't too chewy. I appreciated that there was no fat or gristle so I could eat the whole thing easily. The eggs were prepared as I requested (broken yoke) and the whites were crispy. The star, the green chilaquiles, was delicious - piquant, tangy, sour, and rich all at the same time, like a good enchilada sauce. The chips were fresh, thick triangles - some tender from the sauce and others crispy from the lack of sauce. Garnish was some queso seco (dry, crumbly, salty Mexican cheese) and crema (thin sour cream). I cleaned my plate and now it's time for a siesta.

    Quesadilla de chicharrón
    Carla N.

    Delicious Mexican food! Order this: Quesadilla de chicharrón (they have 'normal' which is pork rinds in salsa or 'prensado' which is a block of pressed pork). I get chicharrón normal, and it's always, consistently good. Quesadilla is made fresh, it's not a flour tortilla, it's made with Masa. Covid recommendation: We called in ahead of time and picked up. Easy and quick Enjoy!

    this place was recommended by my mexican family friends who know good mexican food, and this did not disappoint! we arrived to order 7 wet burritos - pastor, carnitas, and carne asada. we were told to wait about 20 minutes and in the meantime we filled our salsa containers with a variety of salsas at the taco station outside. there were at least 5 varieties! the employees were so kind and helpful offering bags for us to carry all our salsa. the location was quaint with outdoor seating, 3 tables inside, and a bathroom. not sure what this looks like during non-covid times but really liked how the outdoor area was set up with the string lights. seems like a nice spot to stop and enjoy some tacos on a nice night! all burritos were huge and delicious! and not bad priced either at ~$7 each. they did get the order mixed up between those with red vs green salsa on top, but we were all still happy with our burritos and they all still were tasty. will definitely go back! seems like the quesadillas are a popular item here so eager to try that next time

    Carnitas quesadilla! Sorry...I'm not a foodie photographer! But so tasty!
    Kathy A.

    Nice people, fast service, great food! We ordered at the counter and sat outside. Soon after, a basket of warm chips with beans and cheese melting on top were brought to the table with a green salsa and a hot red. I've never seen that before but wow, super good! Husband had a chicken burrito which disappeared quickly! It was big and tasty. I had a carnitas quesadilla that was seriously a foot long! It was not made with a traditional burrito size tortilla but a handmade tortilla probably half the size of a burrito tortilla. It was delicious but I couldn't finish it! Flavorful carnitas, cheese, lettuce and sour cream. Blink and you'll miss this little place but don't miss it! Lunch and two bottled waters for less than $20.

    I am absolutely in love with this place for its authenticity and how delicious the food is. The food is also inexpensive and everything was so delicious. ESPECIALLY THE TACOS! Phew. They stacked so much meat into those things I was FULL. The place comes with many different versions of salsa too. It's the best time. I am so satisfied and so happy with everything this place offers.

    Revolucion Cantina & Mezcaleria has a revolutionary taco Tuesday…read more... It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

    OC's Best AYCE Taco Tuesday?!…read more All day Tuesday from 11 am to 10 pm, Revolucion Cantina in downtown Fullerton, CA, is the place to be! It's a taco lover's paradise where you can build your dream tacos--or even nachos with crispy chicharrones. It's wild, and guess what I made? Chicharrón nachos! My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!

Unfortunately, the customer service completely brings the experience down. The staff at the front, who take your order, consistently come across as rude and unwelcoming. It feels like you're bothering them just by being there, which makes the whole interaction uncomfortable. I understand everyone has tough days, but this has been a repeated experience, not just a one-time thing. It's disappointing because the quality of the food deserves better service to match. If the customer service improved, this place would easily be a top spot.

We parked across the street near an intersection with a stop sign. Our table inside had a nice view of the Placentia Water Tower, and it felt somehow relaxing to gaze at it in the distance. I ordered the pork carnitas ($18), which included pico de gallo, rice, refried beans with melted cheese, and three warm tortillas. The portion size was large, and I took a some carnitas home. While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.
