The inside was very nice and clean. The cashier answered all my questions and helped us order our food. The asada burrito was delicious. It was amazingly juicy. The meat was the best asada I think I have ever had in Orange County. Thick and juicy cooked to perfection. This place is getting a 4 stars for the tacos. The chicken taco lacked in flavor. It wasn’t good at all and the tortilla was very bland. The cashier never said they put guacamole on the tacos and I really didn’t want it on my tacos so I had to scoop it off. If I had known I would have asked for no guacamole. The churros were delicious. And the Carmel dip to go with it just added so much flavor to it. Probably one of the best churros I have had. I would definitely come back for a burrito and churros but not the tacos.

Ordered their loaded fries, potato and chicken taquito, suadero and carnitas taco, and the cemita birria. $3.85 for a taco is bit expensive compared to other tacos that are usually $2 each. The flavors were just okay and a bit towards the chewier side. Their taquitos were crispy and their avocado crema complimented the flavors well. The cemita birria was just okay but PLEASE TRY THEIR LOADED FRIES. The way they cook their fries is just magical and it’s different. It’s light, crispy, and airy and everybody just went at the fries. If I were to come back, it’d only for their fries.

Birria, carne asada and birria papa were delicious. We arrived around 3pm and the place was empty which was concerning. After one bite we dismissed it as having visited between main mealtimes. My son declared this the best birria he’s ever eaten. He also enjoyed his carne asada tacos and my birria papa was equally delicious. The spicy salsa was spicy. This coming from someone who declares, “it’s not spicy enough unless you’re swearing”. Watermelon Shia Fresca was very good – not overly sweet. Will be back!

Clean, friendly, large dinning area, clean bathrooms. First time there, I can eat there all day long. All the tacos we got were delicious, the chorizo taco was amazing, it stands out because it’s chunks of sausage instead of ground mixed with egg. I have never had chorizo this way, soooo good

Tried the taco place for the first time,and I was not disappointed. Tustin is not known for Mexican food, a matter of fact this is one of the best places for Mexican food in this area…

Had my doubts whenever I try a new Mexican food spot. It was either my goto Cali Tacos, or this one to save time for our family outing since we were near the area.

Truly 5 stars! The authentic suadero tacos are a must try! The flavor was off the charts amazing ! The birria quesataco was a close 2nd. Perfectly prepared tortillas w just the right amount of cheese and beautifully tender slow cooked short rib. This may very well become my favorite local taco destination. The churros were perfect too! Wow wow wow! I am going back for more next week. The pollo asado tacos were a waste of time however, after tasting the other tacos tbh.

I have been here a few times and the food is a good value for the money. This time I ordered the two taco combo with chicken and carne asada. The tacos come with onions, cilantro, and guacamole. The combo comes with beans, rice, and an agua fresca. I got the cucumber-lime-mint. They make their own agua frescas and they are all excellent. I also ordered chips and salsa. It is a generous amount of chips and you pack your own salsa at the salsa bar. They have radishes on the salsa bar, which I love!
