Food Stands near Costa Mesa, CA

“Awesome place for quesabirria tacos! Dip into the consome (beef broth) also! They also have tasty tamales and delicious horchatas! The quesabirria tacos are so bomb!!! Super tasty, I love them!! They really load it up with meat!! Very moist, well seasoned meat with plenty of spices! Also cheese and toppings. The dipping sauce is so flavorful. Don't forget to have their hot sauces because they are so good and give the meals a nice flavorful spice kick. One yellow sauce has peanuts and is their signature sauce. This is a ghost kitchen concept at the Hooded Kitchen in Costa Mesa which is where you normally order and pick up however they do have some tables outside which are so cute. This is a family owned place and they are the sweetest!! If you're looking for the best quesabirria tacos, come here!“

“We have visited our fair share of night markets in Los Angeles and 626 seems to be the best. Not in terms of quality but quantity. They have the biggest venue and a few really good food spots. It is always fun to hang out and eat. My complaint here is the charge for parking, the charge for tickets and the the 20.00 price tag attached to most food items. Don't get me wrong, the experience is so much fun. I just can't say that the food is great. In fact, most of it is average to plain. A few place get 5 stars and we ultimately eat at the same spots every time we go. Blue Main Lobster is Def worth every dime. Lobster fries and Lobster rolls here are among the best in Los Angeles and for 18.00 to 20.00, well worth the cost. Lobsterdamus is good, not great. Very pricey though for street Lobster. The Bao bun scene is overwhelming here. I think every other stand is Bao or dumpling stand. In general, the variety is just lacking for the venue to be so big. But it is fun and you will find some good treats. Be prepared to spend at least 100.00 for 2 people and at least $150 to $200 for a group of four. $20.00 per dish, a drink or 2 and maybe some $20.00 icecream should sound about right. Have fun“

“My mom worked at Santa Ana College where this cart is located. She LOVED her coffee. When the time came to plan her Celebration of Life, an event which we planned at the College, we knew we needed to get a coffee cart there to serve her favorite coffee beverages. Scott, the owner, was extremely polite, professional and pleasant to deal with, and also extremely sensitive to the nature of the event, which I really appreciated. The cart served 150++ people at our event. I heard RAVE reviews about the "best ice blended drinks" people had ever had. The barista was polite, worked extremely hard even in sweltering weather, came early to set up and stayed late for the last few people to get their drinks. I highly recommend The Drip for your private events, and I've heard from lots of friends that are planning to stop by the college just to get another ice blended coffee drink. Thank you, Scott and The Drip coffee staff. My mom would had loved that you guys were at this event!“

“Had the most amazing experience with these folks! I grew up on this beach and Jack's was a very fond memory for me. Eating "taco strips" and renting surf rider rafts. We are back in CA for a 50th anniversary trip and happened to get an RV slot right behind them and I recognized the name. They were closed as it was mid week off season so I messaged them through FB to verify it was place place I remembered. A 4th generation "Jacks" owner messaged me right back and sure enough, they are the original Jack's! Even though they were closed for remodeling, they made me a big basket of their homemade taco strips with salsa! Thanks, Dustin, for a fun walk down memory lane!“

“This the best taco stand in town. My boyfriend and I always order the Al pastor burrito with cheese. I sometimes get the Al pastor tacos, and they usually add pineapples to them. I honestly think it's way better than Leo's Taco Truck.“

“This is actually a food truck parked along the side street. There is no seating, so more of a real food truck, take out type of service. The service is quick and friendly, and the tacos are absolutely worth the drive from LA. They're cheap and delicious.“
