50 Best Taco Restaurants near Fountain Valley

“Just went down memory lane and had Naugles for the first time in 35 or so years. SO FREAKING GOOD! I have missed you, and will most definitely be back! ❤️“

“Al Pastor and Carnitas Tacos were on point! Carne Asada could have had some more char on it, but the flavor was there. Hand made tortillas and salsas are great! No Templeton sighting on this trip. 🐙“

“I've been here several times and the food is always cooked perfectly and tastes great. I've ordered several different dishes, and my favorites have been their protein bowls and their battered fish tacos which are perfectly crispy. My only real complaint is that I wish it was spicier or that they offered a hot sauce (they might, but I've never seen it). I will say it does get a bit expensive, but I'm willing to pay for this quality and quantity of food. Also, the service has always been excellent and very helpful.“

“amazing as always the best“

“la comida muy buena,fresca ,buen sabor!! precios rasonables.y todo muy limpio.woow! es mi lugar favorite para comer tacos“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food! It’s become our weekly meal“

“Wow, great tacos! That was my first thought when I bit into my Carnitas taco.

I wanted something from a local family run Place and this fit the bill. The Carnitas taco were tinged with lime which made it amazing. Although the tacos are small they are stuffed with meat, very filling. I also got the Al pastor and the barbacoa. I tasted the other two but only ate one. The barbacoa was OK but it wasn’t my favorite, but very juicy. ($2.75/taco cash)

I loved that they gave me a bag of chips in my to go order. The salsa is a fresh chunky salsa and quite spicy. I don’t like the pureed type salsa because I don’t think it usually has a good flavor. I was happy with the fresh chunky style they serve.

This is definitely a hole in the wall. It was very busy at lunchtime. Coming up to the building it looks quite grubby but I pushed past that knowing that I had great ratings. I’m glad I did. It’s definitely not an updated, well kept restaurant but the food was great. I met a family who said they’ve been coming for years and love the food.

If you want mom and pop Place it seems to be very popular with good prices, check this place out.“

“The food is very fresh, creative and fun! Lots of great drinks to choose from - either with or without alcohol! Cudos to Chef Zachary for his talented culinary achievement.“

“Todo súper rico y barato 100% recomendable“

“Tiny burrito joint with taco in the name, lol. Literally one of my top two burrito joints in the universe. If you are nearby, you are foolish if you don’t stop by and get a tasty meal.“

“The best in Santa Ana . Deliciosas carnitas el sabor es unico“

“Nice lil “ma & pa “ place to eat.“

“quesabirria tacos go craaazy hard here! the consomé is *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽 & the smoked pollo asado was surprisingly amazing! 10/10“

“This was me & my sister's first time coming here. We both got a burrito. It was delicious. The customer service was great. We're looking for other locations closer to us. But we'll definitely go back to this location when we're in the area.“

“Great food, ingredients and flavor. Very clean, comfortable, family friendly establishment. Great place to grab a bite.“

“tacos lengua. I live .01 ml from this joint. first time. will return. uber clean. I am a sushi/sanitation expert with 30 yrs in the field. these folk get an A+“

“I ordered the fish & chips. To go. It was absolutely fantastic tasting and fresh. I’m most definitely going back and highly, and I mean highly? Recommend this. Place!“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“I absolutely LOVE this place! It’s kind of a RARE GEM I would say, because it’s hidden off of a smaller residential Street, called standard, and Edinger, which is a main street but it’s tucked in the corner behind the gas station. For many visits, all I ordered were the Birria & queso Birria tacos with their delicious consome.. THEN, I started trying all their other things like the huaraches and more and honestly, their menu is so vast and so many options and everything is delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything to be honest!

And they make homemade Agua Fresca’s and I feel like it’s only a little bit of sugar and they’re so good. You guys can’t get your meal without one!

This is a cool little hole in the wall, but nice hole in the wall just meaning it’s a small restaurant, but they have tables and boots so you can come sit down.. it’s a great date night spot also!

Evelia is the manager I believe and she is so awesome! She gives great service and she’s so sweet, thank you for the great food & service! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“Great handmade tortillas! And the salsa is the best! Try the prime rib tacos, oh my goodness, and the quesadilla are ridiculous and so good! You gotta try this place!“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“This is the best tacos in OC! Love the quesobirria tacos! My kids love it here 😋😋😋 please check it out you will not be disappointed ☺️“

“100% Recomendado muy ricos tacos consome y buen servicio“

“We had a fantastic experience at Tacos Los Cholos in Huntington Beach! We were looking for a quick dinner after a busy day, and this place absolutely delivered. The food came out fast, but nothing tasted rushed. Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor.

We ordered both the asada and chicken tacos, and they were outstanding. The asada was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a great grilled flavor. The chicken was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the fresh toppings. The tortillas were fresh, and every bite had the right balance of meat, salsa, onions, and cilantro.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a fun place to grab dinner with family or friends. Even though it was busy, the service moved quickly, and the staff kept everything organized. It’s easy to see why this place has such a great reputation.

If you’re in Huntington Beach and craving authentic tacos, Tacos Los Cholos is definitely worth the visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal or bringing a group, it’s an excellent choice. We’ll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, but the asada and chicken tacos have already set a very high standard!“

“So glad we stumbled upon this place. Great service and excellent food. Will definitely become regulars. Recommend club sandwich and Chilaquiles!!!!“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“Hands down the best al pastor tacos in orange county and dare I say LA as well. I have been to hundreds of taco stands and food trucks in every big city and small town from Yuba County to San Diego. This place is top 3 for sure in all of California but I would say number 1 in South LA OC area“

“papa rellenos!!!!
the most delicious thing ever!!!
everything going in this world is shit but papa rellenos gives me hope!!!
papa rellenos will abolish ice, provide free healthcare to all and most importantly assassinate trump!“

“Big portions for low prices (considering our economy). The torta cubana was delicious. Packed to bursting with meat, cheese, and all the trimmings. They do the same with their burritos.
My friend says their lengua is the best he’s ever had.
Since this inside North Gate, depending on the time of day/week, it might be much busier and/or harder to find seating. We had to sit somewhere in the market that wasn’t nearby“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Excelente servicio y muy buen sabor! 👌🏾🌮🌯“

“Well the food is okay. It’s a 8/10 the service is great 10/10. Well during the day if it’s hot then you better take home a eat or in your car. There no where to set. But your car. It really depends on you. The food is 8/10. So if your near the area. Give it a“

“Nice atmosphere! Very tasty food. Will go there again.“

“THE taco trucks to go to in Santa Ana. They also have one on St. Andrew and Flower next to Happy's Liquor. The Papa Doradita Tacos (Fried Potato) are a MUST GET, I've been eating from this family of taco trucks for at least 10 years, my mom loves the Tripa tacos, my friends normally get Cabeza or Buche or the Potato Tacos.“

“Birria El Tijuanazo did not disappoint. The birria was incredibly flavorful and perfectly tender, and the consommé had deep, authentic taste. Shoutout to Alex for the great service, super friendly, fast, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re craving real birria.“

“One of my daughter’s favorite spots! I’ve passed by many times, and she finally convinced me to check it out. It’s located outside the Bank of America plaza on Bolsa and Magnolia, with easy and plentiful parking.

The vibe is lively and welcoming, like a family cookout. They grill pork off the spit, and beef and chicken slow cooked to perfection, all served in warm, small corn tortillas. The organized sauce bar lets you customize, and the cooks grill onions to your liking.

Tacos are $2 each, an amazing deal for the quality! I’m usually not a taco person, but their beef taco was surprisingly flavorful and delicious. Definitely come back!“

“Great food, friendly service and amazing staff to take care of you“

“Been coming here for years since i was a little girl where they first began on the corner off civic center & fairview , now located on Bristol & first street behind a shopping center , it’s amazing how i got close to the owner as now knows my husband and I and the lovely ladys as well , they already know us by the usual we always get !! Which are the Street Hot Dogs as we toss in some green salsa and it hits the spot !! Especially homemade avena for the cold weather!! Of course we have tried the rest of the menu and it doesn’t disappoints!!“

“I visited Adam's Tacos tonight (formerly Tacos Manuel) to pick up tacos for the family and had a great experience. Adam was very friendly and gave me some recommendations to bring home. We had the carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, cabeza, and lengua tacos. Everything had great flavor - our favorite was the carne asada. We loved the grilled onions! Not sure how they're seasoned, but they were good! Also, the prices were very reasonable. My experience with food trucks has been that they are generally overpriced. Not the case at Adam's Tacos. We fed our family of 5 under $40 which is not very common these days. If you're looking for good tacos in the area, I'd recommend you give this place a shot.“

“To top it off homemade corn tortillas, chorizo,Asada ,and Al Pastor, seasoned well good flavor all around no fat. Fire !🔥“

“I just have to say this. EVERY time I eat at Casa Jiménez Huntington Beach it ALWAYS seems like the best meal (of any kind) I have EVER tasted! Last night was no exception. YUM. And congratulations on the remodel with a fancy new bar! You guys ROCK.“

“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Everything was served very quickly, which we really appreciated. The tacos were especially good—full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I would come back to.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

“Los uchepos😋 El servicio excelente“

“I’ve been coming here for quite a while now, and this place never disappoints. Taco Tuesdays are definitely a highlight—$2 tacos that are both delicious and an amazing value. The salsa bar is fantastic, offering a great variety of options to perfectly complement your meal, and every order comes with chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch.
There is never a wait and the restaurant is consistently clean, and the service is top-notch. A special shoutout to Esther and Isabel, who always go above and beyond to make the experience even better. The menu has a wide variety of choices, so there’s something for everyone, and the drink selection is just as impressive.
I highly recommend giving this place a try—you won’t be let down!“
