The line is always super quick. This is the best restaurant to be in this location….. ever! Suitable for all party sizes if you order to go.

“I wish I would have got the waitress's name. She was so nice and accommodating to me ,my wife, and our dog. She went above and beyond a couple of times during our lunch. My wife's dish was a little too spicy so we sent it back and they gave us another at no charge(minus the Chipotle sauce). The amazing part Was the sincere kindness of the waitress. Most places make you feel like you're a problem when you send something back. She just wanted to make sure we were happy. Thank you, you are much appreciated. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced.“

“There is a God!! I have been away for years working in North Dakota praying for a shrimp burrito. I was in Balboa over weekend and got my Shrimp fix. So darn good! The best shrimp soze and taste anywhere. They have not changed anything during this bad inflation. Miss the salsa bar but they gave us plenty. Most great places come and eventually go but GM is still.#1. Thank you Peter and staff!!.“

“I think I just had three of the best tacos of 2024. I walked in here expecting things to be good l, but DAMN these were some delicious tacos. Quesabirria, fried fish, and grilled shrimp were unreal! Brought together with two perfect salsas, the tacos were flavorful, distinct, and filling. You don’t want to miss El Bandito.“

“I highly recommend this Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana, CA. My wife and I love this spot. The food, workers and cleanliness is on point. I recommend this Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana to anyone. 💯“

“What yummy delicious juicy chicken!“

“The best Mexican food in the area!“

“I went to Palenque by Mezcal twice last week — once on Thursday with my fiancé, then again on Saturday with friends. Safe to say: we were hooked.

Thursday night: My fiancé had the Torta Cubana (he LOVED it) and a beer. I went with the shrimp tacos and a Paloma cocktail. The tacos were tasty but spicier than expected — I had asked for no spice, so that was a small miss. However, the real surprise was dessert: the tres leches with lemon and blueberries — absolutely delicious! Not too sweet, refreshing, and such a nice twist on the classic.

Saturday: We came back with a group and ordered a variety to try — carne asada tacos, birria tacos, and grilled octopus. Everything was solid, but the octopus? Next level. Perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. It stole the show.

Prices are on the higher end, especially for Riverside, but honestly… YOLO. The vibes are great, the food is elevated, and it feels like a special night out without leaving town.“

“Best customer service ever and the tacos was amazing just like big boy said the best tacos and we couldn’t get enough we had to get more tacos and she took very good care of us and I am a very big fan of big boy from strength cartel she made me feel very welcomed and took very good care of us we came all the way from Oklahoma City“

“It's the first time we came to this restaurant and we loved it, it's 3 minutes from South Coast Plaza Mall, the food is delicious, the fish taco is full of flavor, as are the mole and molcajete, and the customer service is super good, excellent atmosphere with a DJ on weekends. this week my new favorite place

Vegetarian options: Pumpkin tacos, poblano rajas, mushrooms,“

“My husband and I came to eat here and loved the food and service! The music and the environment was very pleasant. We will definitely be coming here again. 😊“

“Traditional style. A great hang.“

“This place is fantastic! I had their Chicken Tortilla Soup and it had so many layers of flavor. The staff are so courteous and attentive. Love the customer service and the food is delicious. Their medium spice salsa is fresh, you can taste the hint of lime and it is so flavorful. I am bookmarking this place and bringing back friends.“

“stopped by Taco Mesa and tried the asada and pastor tacos, along with rice and beans. The tacos were flavorful and well-seasoned—carne asada had a nice char, while the pastor had that balance of spice and sweetness you want from good al pastor. The tortillas were fresh and held up well. The rice and beans were simple but tasty, a solid complement to the meal. Portions were fair for the price, and the food came out quickly.“
