Taco Mesa is a welcome change from, and far better than, the usual Mexican fast food chains. Nice atmosphere, fast friendly service, fair price. And the food is great!

This is a good place to bring someone who is new to the area. I feel that if you live near this restaurant, as I do, that there are other places that are better for tacos, honestly. That being said, their presentation and food is very good,

The food is fresh and the staff is friendly! Great neighborhood go-to spot. There is seating if you want to stay and eat or can get to go!

We stopped at about 10:30 on the way to a Newport Landing fishing trip. I had the Lobster enchiladas, very good and a steak taco, also very good, For dessert I had flan.

A restaurant that still gets me excited after 20+ years needs a fresh review. The blackened chicken burrito with a side of chips and quac is hands down my favorite. Add those spicy carrots from the salsa bar and you too will be writing your second review! Insider tip..check out the menu board for nightly specials with good prices. If you spot the tomato soup get it ! You can thank me later...

Twice now a friend and I needed a good nourishing meal after 9 pm when most of our favorite dining spots were either closed or closing. Taco Mesa has been the best choice for us. Taco Mesa has a King Tostada on the menu. It features GMO-Free corn chips, beans, chile sauce, melted cheeses, topped with hearts of romaine, pico de gallo, lime vinaigrette, avocado, carrot, sour cream and shaved jicama. If you want the vinaigrette on the side, just ask. This is a great vegetarian selection. The only negative I can think of is the location of their restrooms for night time dining. You must walk around toward the back of the building and the lighting is not very good. We elected to wait until we reached a friend's house to use the facility.

Really good authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff. Not much of a place to eat in, so we almost always use take-out.

Awesome food. Not a lot of tables so seating could be a problem but people are in and out of there quickly. I loved the asada tacos and the extra cabbage they put on to make it have that extra crunch. My husband and kids loved their beans and that they weren't your typical refried beans. My son loved his blackened chicken burrito and of course couldn't finish all of it because it was so big.

Taco Mesa is my go to spot in Orange County. My favorite is the carne asada taco's with chips and guacamole. The watermelon drink is a must. If you are near costa mesa and want great mexican food Taco Mesa is it.

Perfect lunch spot, not expensive. Get the taco Alhambra, super good! King Nacho Salad w/steak is also awesome..
