    Taco de Lengua, Taco de Pastor, taco de cabeza
    Madeline B.

    Food was pretty good! The Al pastor wasn't really Al pastor in my opinion, it kinda just tasted like seasoned meat. The lengua and cabeza were pretty tasty though! Salsas were just salsa and birria could've used a little love. Horchata was tasty. I could see myself stopping by if I was in the area but I did feel like the food was pretty pricey for what you got. Inside was clean but unfortunately did not have public restrooms. Worker was nice and helpful.

    Small local but super busy taco shop! Love the late night opening hours! & the food is so authentic! The salsas & hot sauces are delicious, the food here does not disappoint, cravings always satisfied! I could eat here daily! Lol

    Unmelted cheese in the quesadilla
    Devin B.

    I was craving tacos and this came up in my search for a good place! The parking lot is a bit tight but I found a spot and headed in. Inside it is a very small place; just a few tables and there is no public restroom (yes this means no restroom for customers!). There is a little cart with salsa and toppings such as cilantro and onions. A woman took my order and I Was hoping to just get a couple tacos but was told the potato tacos only come in a 3 pack. I ended up getting a quesadilla instead, with carne asada inside. The quesadilla also has cilantro and onions inside but you can order without if you want. $13 for a quesadilla is steep, but the carne asada mainly boosts it up. It was a quick wait before getting my food. Immediately I noticed the cheese was hardly melted. The outside was a toasty brown but the cheese needed to be melted. Carne asada tasted fine, but this was an expensive quesadilla to not be done well. The salsa were my favorite part; there was a decently spicy creamy green one, a classic salsa Verde, and a red hot sauce. All were great! Unfortunately I just didn't enjoy the quesadilla and ended up throwing away half of it. Their tacos are probably what they are known for, as it's in their name. I would love the option to mix and match and order all tacos individually or one of their 3 sets with a combination of different tacos including the potato taco! I will end on one last note that their agua frescas look delicious. There was an orange one that was very tempting but I chose not to get a drink.

    Mulita Carna Asada
    Krystal G.

    The food was just ok... to be honest nothing special! I ordered a Mulita but I've had better from a taco truck... We felt that the service was kind of rude... food was definitely overpriced! Location was easy to find... small, clean! Probably won't ever go there again.

    Birria Ramen with cheese
    Jasmine N.

    This is a good place to go for a huge menu with a lot to choose from. It's the one place I know in the area that sells birria ramen, taquitos, and Tacos de papa(potato tacos). The birria ramen comes with a lot of meat, and the tacos de papa are stuffed and pretty good. The taquitos are fine, the meat sometimes feels dry, but with the toppings, they're good. Is not the best I've ever had, but it's convenient and scratches the itch.

    Our clinic got catering from The Taco Boss recently - no complaints! We got 20 tacos of each - al pastor, carne asada, and pollo (chicken). They really do not skimp on the protein here - every taco was overflowing with meat. I took one of each protein - the pollo was my favorite. Each bite was full of flavor - and it was choice cuts too. Nothing stringy or bony (as I've had from chicken tacos from other taco spots. Toppings and salsa were plentiful - we had three large bowls of different salsas, as well as limes, cilantro, and onions. Food was well packaged and stayed warm and fresh. I think there were chips provided as well, but none were left by the time my team got to the tacos.

    x3 Tacos De Birria

    The food is amazing here really good service is quick. The cooks are fast. It's a little small in here but definitely worth it. Really good food. Highly recommended. The tacos are loaded with meat and so the taquitos and the Carne asada fries. BOMB!!!!

    Birria Tacos
    Andrea H.

    Decent late night taco shop, but a little pricey. I've definitely had cheaper Mexican food. The birria tacos were pretty good and the consume was packed with flavor. Tacos were average. Mulita was decent and filled with melted cheese! Would not recommend the rice, it was bland and lacked flavor. The horchata was also not that memorable.

    Boss Cali burrito, lg horchata
    Cheo Z.

    Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Agua de horchata is bomb. Boss Cali burrito even better

    Birria 3 Tacos de Birria
    Justine H.

    Went to the Taco Boss on my lunch break and ordered the birria taco combo -- absolutely delicious! The tacos came out hot and the cheese was super melty with epic pulls. The meat was so juicy, I didn't even need to dip them in the consommé. These paired with the salsa verde cremosa were absolutely chef's kiss. Can't wait to come back and try the other taco meat options!

    Receipt saying no cheese and pico de gallo on the side
    Michelle S.

    I kindly requested no cheese and pico on the side on 2 veggie burritos. A simple request. I don't know if the people preparing "choose" not to read the requests or they like to sneak it in regardless of the request. And this isn't the first time they've done this.

    NO PUBLIC RESTROOM sign posted I understand that, but I'm a customer. Anyways food is 6 out of 10.
    Leonel A.

    Today 1/23/2026 at 4:57 PM I stopped by to dine in some tacos along with my partner. They have a sign posted "NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS" I thought since I was a customer I was able to use their amenities. I was told I couldn't use the restroom although I pointed out I'm a customer and not a walk in restroom goer. I'm dissatisfied! They lost a good customer today. Can't use a restroom as a guest where I'm ordering food at.

    Do you guys do Taco Tuesdays?

    Yes we do

    Is this place gluten free? Unsure if they had or train their staff to answer questions with dietary restrictions. Correct me if I'm wrong but they should have nutritional guidelines etc.

    My wife and daughter both have celiac and have never had a problem here. We come in about every 2 weeks and they have had the street tacos, vampiros, mulitas, asada fries, and birria. All of the meats have been safe as well.

    El Molino de Oro's carnitas burrito is a solid, no-frills winner that hits the spot for authentic…read moreOrange County Mexican food. The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum

My boyfriend went with the carnitas burrito, and it was packed with tender, juicy carnitas and generous portions all around. We also grabbed a flaky pastry in the attached bakery (I didn't catch the name), but it was perfectly buttery and light. Service is always friendly and efficient, even when they're busy, and the vibe feels very local and welcoming. If you're looking for solid Mexican food with consistency you can count on, this is a must.

I used some of the mayo and fresh limes they gave me. The fish was soft and delicious.
