Carne asada street tacos with the works.
Greg S.

Best street tacos in the OC by far! This place has super fast service and the price is right. That's the only thing I've had here but will try the burrito bowl next time. Parking can be a little hectic at lunchtime so get here early.

This place got Bomb food. I like the Meat plate and aqua Fresca Also the Elotes are real tasty

Asada beef taco, and cheese beef quesadilla
Aramis G.

I stopped by Taqueria Mexico because it has been a reliable spot for years and I always enjoy visiting places that feel like true neighborhood staples. 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.

This is a hole in the wall taco place and as authentic as you get besides food trucks or street taco stands. They have tacos, burritos, quesadillas with your choice of meat and cilantro, onions and or cheese as a toppings. They used to have an open salsa bar which was great now you have to ask for sauce, jalapeño etc the staff seem reluctant to give them to you. There are not a lot of parking in front and sometimes there is a long line.

Only Meat Burrito (outside)
Diana N.

I have came here a bunch of times ever since I started dating my boyfriend. He was the one that introduce me to this place. This place is amazing for lunch and dinner. Today, I got the only meat burrito that comes with any meat of choice, beans but I didn't get it today, cilantro and onions, cheese I didn't get it today. They fill up your burrito really good. They also have sauces on the side red sauce and green sauce along with the lemons. I also tried their pineapple juice before and it was delicious. The service was fast & employees are very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. Plenty of parking. I would definitely come back here for their delicious burritos & want to try their tacos as well.

2 stars only for flavor. Their tacos and burritos are very good. They just absolutely are not worth $2.40 for a 3-4" taco and $13+++ for a burrito. Been a weekly monthly customer since 1989 (was 2-3x a week when it was affordable for what you ordered) when they opened. Way over priced now. You can't get your own peppers and carrots now etc.

Smallest burrito for $11.00 at a taqueria ever...
Michael M.

Went back to give these guys another chance and got another tiny burrito for 11.00. I'm sorry but this place used to be the go to and now they just keep raising the prices and giving you less. Sad that this is happening to the local spot. Off to the next taco spot

Chicken burrito
Steven N.

Chicken Burrito - big burrito - tasty tender chicken - not a fan of the beans - rice has an interesting flavor Carne Asada Taco - meat is a little tough - lots of meat Al Pastor Taco - lots of meat Red salsa - spicy Pro Tip: - order in person to get cheese

Since I wasn't familiar with the area, I was a little hesitant but from the moment we walked in, I was impressed! The restaurant was beautiful, clean, and smelled absolutely amazing. Even on a busy Sunday night we were seated right away. I shared the chicken fajitas with my 3-year-old daughter, and oh my goodness, the flavor was incredible! Everything was seasoned perfectly and my daughter loved every bite. I also tried my husband's chicken torta, and it was just as delicious! I can't forget the chips and salsa. The chips were freshly made, and the salsa had great flavor without being too spicy. Our waiter was incredibly kind and provided excellent customer service, which made the experience even better. From the atmosphere and cleanliness to the delicious food and friendly staff, everything exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area! If you're nearby or visiting, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

The servers are all so nice & I definitely feel like it's a family event every time, they really know how to make you feel at right at home! The bartenders (Jose, Liz & Ricardo) are always friendly, attentive, and really know how to make a great drink. Overall, the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere are always all on point. Definitely a place I highly recommend to friends & family

I recently returned now as an adult and it's still delicious as ever and the portions are great for the price, the ambiance make you feel at home, makes you feel like I'm back at my Nani's (abuela/grandma). They offer you a plate of chips with bean dip and guacamole and it's absolutely delicious, perfect little teaser for the delicious food to come. I ordered a chicken quesadilla supreme with my brother and it's the size of a pizza and we weren't even able to finish it so we had leftovers! I almost forget to mention we visited on Father's Day and they gave my brother and father a free Father's Day mug. Just shows how much they care about their customers. Overall Los Sánchez is definitely one of those authentic Mexican spots with great ambience great service and it's just a great experience.

This is casual dining at its best where people occasionally line up outside the door to get in. You order at the counter and they will give you a plate of chips with guacamole, beans, and cheese to eat while you wait for your food. They have a salsa bar if want salsa for your chips or food. My normal order is the works burrito. It normally comes with both Chili Verde and Chili Colorado inside i order mine with Steak Picado instead. The burrito is huge and I can't finish it. My wife likes to get a small bowl of the Chili Verde. Its full of flavor and loaded with tender pork.

You already know a spot is legit when they hand you house made hot sauce in a squeeze bottle. The fish tacos here are large as others have mentioned, and pairing them with the hot sauce is essential if you have the spice tolerance for it. Do note: It will make you start sweating out though in a good way. My only minor complaint is that they seem to not offer a Taco Tuesday deal anymore. I understand that it was probably because of the rising costs of everything, but if they can ever find a way to bring it back, it would be amazing. If you're in OC and want fish tacos, there's really no other reason to go elsewhere but here.

I was just about ready to cultivate my Mexican food taste buds, and I admit LC activated a great deal of those quite positively back in the day. Fast forward nearly a half century later, and I know my younger self would be so happy! I ordered the celebrated fish taco, a shrimp taco, an extra side of chips and a gigantic jamaica. With tip, less than $40 -- but, the amount of food that actually is, is relatively awesome! Their salsa selection is super tasty, and slightly too spicy for me (which, if you know me at all, means it's pure perfection lol). But as for the real stars of the show: bliss. There's so much meat in these tacos, and just the perfect amount of veggie, saucy accouterments. And the tortillas!! Ahhh my mouth is starting to water just remembering their mealy, handmade tasting goodness (and I just finished lunch haha)... Anyway, parking looks eh but there's always a spot somewhere. It's more indoor outdoor style but a clean and functional style it is. Thanks for bringing back the memories Los Cotijas!

From the moment we walked in everything just seemed well put together. Shockingly there were only 2-3 other tables filled and you'll understand in a few minutes.

Guac was sorta under seasoned but it was still a good creamy addition to the steaming hot taquito. 2 Dorato taco plate - these were similar to the taquitos in all the good ways but even more packed with meat, crisp lettuce and mounds of freshly graded cheese...damn good! Looked around and this is what everyone had, even people after us. Must order one of these! YES, it will fill you up! Guac Mexicana - freshly made guac to order and it was great! Flavor was perfect and went well with everything. Beans - we're bean lovers and these were so good I had to call it out. The pico de gallo is a must as well, don't miss out on it. Spicy though! This is a must try for anyone in a 10-15 mile radius....and any closer you should run there! The restaurant was very clean, staff were attentive and pleasant from entry to exit...we couldn't be happier with our experience. Kudos to this place for running a restaurant the right way!
