39 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fullerton

“Love this place. It ticks every box:

✅️ Great food
✅️ Great service
✅️ Great value
✅️ Easy parking

You won't be disappointed if you go, but unfortunately no one is going there now. I hope they have a good lease agreement, because I don't see how they can survive at this location. So enjoy it now while it lasts people!“

“The best tacos! We love this place. Service is great and the prices are reasonable. The food is fresh and made to order.“

“Tienen un maravilloso servicio al cliente i la comida está riquísima los recomiendo al 100%“

“Great service, AMAZING FOOD. As a mexican, I can say with full confidence they had the best green chilaquiles I've ever had. I took them to go and ate them when I got home 30 min later. Still the best thing ever. I can't imagine if I ate them warm and fresh inside the restaurant. Also, the horchata was SOOOO good. It's made fresh by one of the ladies in the restaurant. I've never had horchata made with banana before and I feel like my life is changed LOL. I believe the restaurant is woman owned. Dude was cooking our stuff fresh in the back too so it took a little while to get the food but worth the wait. We ended up going back the next day. Good prices.“

“Great spot for weekend brunch! Pineapple mimosa! 😘“

“It’s consistently good. Friendly family vibe..“

“We stumbled upon Riveras after completion of a swim meet. Not being from this area (we are from Edmonton Canada) we decided to take a chance. So glad we did. 2 hungry teenage boys with us we filled up on various tacos and chips and guacamole. Everything was beyond delicious and filling. I have been craving fish tacos since we hit the border. I was not disappointed! So yummy. Service was fast and friendly and price was great. Definitely make your way to Riveras Fresh Tacos. We be heading there again before we head back north of the border :)“

“This place has some of the best Mexican-style chicken in Orange County at reasonable prices. Don't be fooled by the unassuming atmosphere and limited menu - this place focuses like a laser on chicken and does it well. I was surprised that potato salad was included with my meal and even more surprised that it was excellent. Even though there was only one person behind the counter service was fast and attentive. The restaurant was clean and tidy including the restroom.“

“The staff is very friendly & flexible .The food was very good 👍🏻 😊.But the restaurant was very cold, even the restrooms. Thank you 😊“

“Love finding new taco joints. Poncho's didn't disappoint! Great flavor, great selections on a small and manageable menu. Do what you do, and do it well. Enjoyed a great selection of al pastor, chorizo, and carnitas tacos. The al pastor was amazing. Great salsa bar...and you get fresh chips and salsa at your table while you wait. At a small taco shop? Yep!
Anyway...great place. I'll be back soon.“

“Always have a great time at Don Carlos! I used to come here a lot when I went to school out here & the place has not changed much. Great food and great customer service. Anytime we’re in Orange County we make a stop here. They make the best cheeseburgers!!“

“This place has my favorite bean and cheese burrito (with sour cream 😬) and I always get a cabeza taco on the side. The tortilla alone is amazing. If the B and C burrito by itself speaks wonders, then imagine the rest of the menu. Amazing salsa (don't ask how they made it, they wont tell you). Been going here for years and I dont know what it is, but they just do it the way it's supposed to be done. They are always really nice to my wife and I when we stop by 😁“

“Great Music. Danced all night. Until next time. OC“

“First time at this restaurant, super fire 🔥 tacos and the restaurant in General the food is good“

“My first time here at your location in Puente Hills CA. My waiter Jesus is a very awesome waiter. Thank you for attending me with excellent service.“

“The food was good and the service was very good“

“Every time we come here, I try not to load up on the chips with beans and cheese... THEN WE ORDER AN EXTRA PLATE!!! Tonight, I had the huarache con carnitas and my bebe had the machete; soooo gooood!!! Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Fullerton #PERIODTTTTTTT“

“The bk breakfast burrito is hands down the best I’ve had around Fullerton. potato wedges, bacon,sausage were all perfectly crispy. no soggy hash browns here. That burrito was cooked exactly how I like it. Also the best Al pastor in town, wood/charcoal grill up front to give that Smokey flavor“

“el cocinero un güero muy amable apenas nos miro nos saludo muy amable mente. el pollo me lo dio a mi gusto como a mi me gusta un joven gringo muy amable .....no puedo de sir lo mismo de la mujer que estaba trabajando ..le dijimos gracias y ni siquiera nos contesto... el lugar muy limpio !!!“

“Everything is great at Nick's I hear. Im kinda stuck on the Ch Burgers and Fries. The whole bunch of them are super cool and go out of there way to make sure your happy.. The touch up you made to the store the last few years are nice. Thanks so much for being the best in Town.“

“amazing food amazing atmosphere“

“There is definitely the appeal for the convenience of a 24-hour drive-thru for Mexican food place, no question about it. You can rest easy knowing a carne asada burrito is only car ride away any time of day or night. However, the food is okay, not necessarily great, the Supreme fries we're not as superlative as it could be. And by the way It is solely a drive-thru, no place to dine in so you have to be ready to eat your emergency 3am fish tacos maybe in your car. But the neon sign is cool.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by how generous the servings were, even with a basic taco order. Everything was presented beautifully and the portions were very satisfying. The meat was flavorful and paired perfectly with the fresh sides like carrots, radishes, chiles, and salsas. Overall, the meal was outstanding and absolutely worth it.“

“super awesome and helpful staff! I'll definitely be returning.“

“We’re always looking to try new spots! We found this one in the heart of downtown town Fullerton. At first we were skeptical of trying it out bc it was empty! We decided to give it a try anyway…

We opted to share a molcajete which includes two sides of rice and beans.

The rice and beans were delicious! The rice was super fluffy, it’s like the Mexican rice all abuelitas know how to make!

The molcajete itself is an 8/10
The chicken was very flavorful
The arrachera was ok.
The mini quesadillas were 🔥

Our server Yahir was very friendly and attentive 10/10

I would come back again…“

“great food and affordable prices“

“la comida excelente pero las 3 veces que hemos hido acomer a este lugar tiene muy mal servicio me refiero a las meseras te llevan la comida y jamaz regresan,a ver si se ofrece algo,nos quedamos sin soda,nos faltaban tostadas pero la mesera ni sus luces y como que enojadas se si eso les parecerá normal pero cada fin semana que vamos a diferentes restaurantes los meseros primeramente te saludan,checan que no falte nada en la orden y como lo dije las 3 veces ha pasado lo mismo le dije al muchacho que estaba de cajero y el si muy amablemente me dijo que hablara con la mesera con nos atendió, le pondré las 5 estrellas porque la verdad está muy rica la comida y muy fresco todo“

“Rikisimo la comida y las empleadas muy amables.!! Y“

“I got the asada burrito with everything plus cheese the meat was freshly cooked all ingredients had great flavor even the tortilla was very tasty highly recommend I've been to many similar type restaurants with the yellow and red logo but this place by far is the best one around.“

“FANTASTIC folks run this place. This is one of the few places that has cabeza (gatekept secret best meat) and no other taco spot nearby has it

Their Asada fries are delicious. Definitely give this place a try if you’re craving stuff the other taco places don’t carry and want authentic food“

“First time stopping by, at first I thought it was supper pricy for one quesadilla and one sope until we received our plates. The serving are really big and quite tasty. It's a small and quite place. The only thing I wasn't very found of would be their salsa it is too watery.“

“I love La Aguila! The food is delicious. They always have great fruit and the tres leches cales are wonderful! I especially love supporting a small business. Everyone that works there is kind and courteous. I love it. The store is just right around the corner from where I live.“
