Torta Ahogada Y Tacos Dorados
Taco Dorado De Papá

“Tucked away in the back of the market this would be an easy place to skip over, but it really was a delight. Some of their combo options felt a little expensive for what they were so we got two tacos dorado and I quite enjoyed both of them. The service was quick and super friendly. There are a lot of options in the market but this is definitely one worth stopping for.“

Carnitas Don Miguel Mexican •
2300 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa

“OMG! Carnitas like you wouldn’t believe, often deep fried in its own juices right in front of you. PLUS… 3-4 different types of chicharron. Chicharron de Lonja! So freakin’ good. Get it by the pound to take home with the freshly made street tortillas right behind you in one direction, and freshly made guacamole (3 spice levels!) in the other direction. Salsas? 3-4 acres of options. Want it right now? Have it there with rice and beans (con manteca?), in nachos, tacos… maybe tortas? I can’t remember. Lots of seating all around. Just go get the pig!“
