Fabulous tacos and they are on sale Tuesdays & Fridays!
Parking is the only semi issue so go during off hours. Lunch is super busy!

Great Mex is a popular local spot in Newport and Costa Mesa, known for its fresh and delicious tacos. The menu offers a variety of options, including al pastor, chicken, carne asada, and Mahi Mahi tacos, which are highly recommended. They also serve one of the best carne asada burritos in Costa Mesa and offer fantastic horchata. The restaurant is vegan-friendly with vegan tamales made from fresh vegetables, priced at $15 for a half-dozen. Customers enjoy the excellent salsa bar, and on Taco Fridays, they can get a plate of tacos with a cheap beer. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Parking can be a bit challenging, but street parking nearby is available. Customer service is efficient and friendly, and the restaurant takes contactless payments. Whether visiting for lunch, dinner, Taco Tuesday, or breakfast, visitors often find the food to be out of this world and worth recommending. Located close to the beach, Great Mex offers a great experience with good prices and a lively environment.
