    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.

    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.

    Only Meat Burrito (outside)

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

This is a spacious restaurant with many tables inside and fitting for small or large groups. There's a large screen TV where you'll probably find a game or sport on screen. You can place your order at the front counter and they will bring the food to your table. The lady who took our order was very friendly and kind. When our food came out, she also gave me an additional salsa or pico de gallo to try since my boss asked for it. I ordered the crunchy beef tacos (without cheese) plate. I enjoyed the rice and beans that came with the meal. It was a decent amount and very filling. As for the crunchy tacos, I really liked them!

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. We were greeted by a few staff very warmly and they were very patient and helpful as we ordered for our group of 5. Taquitos - crunchy and packed with meat! 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! They should teach other restaurants how to do business!

    I really liked: Baja Fish Taco…read more Churro I liked: Asada Mulita This was ok: Burria Taco The Baja fish taco is the standout #goodeats here. The crisp on the fish is solid, and it tastes clean without being overly greasy. Pair it with their sauce and it really comes together. The churro was super fresh and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Light, crispy, and just sweet enough. If they added a chocolate dipping sauce, it would go crazy. The asada mulita leans heavily on the cheese. The cheese itself is good, but the asada doesn't bring much flavor, so it feels a bit one-note. The burria taco is just okay. It's a little dry, and while the sauce helps, you can still tell it's lacking some juiciness. Service is pretty straightforward. You walk up, order at the window, and grab your food when it's ready. Nothing over the top, but it gets the job done. I did appreciate that they'll pack up grilled onions and cucumbers if you ask. Nice little touch that adds to the experience. The plaza it's located in is super cute and honestly adds a lot to the visit. There's plenty of open seating, and it feels like a great spot for family hangouts or casual group meals. There's usually music playing, which gives it a fun, lively vibe.
