“Everything was great, my only complaint is the enchiladas de mole con pollo had chicken that was very very dry, I felt like it ruined the dish but that’s okay because honestly the whole experience made up for it but you know the whole point of going out to eat is having good food and it would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the chicken.“

“This is quite a hidden spot in Fullerton for solid tacos. It’s a definitely a value for taco Tuesday as they still sell it for $1.75 cents per tacos and they may give you a 7% discount if paying it with cash. So yeah, it’s probably one of the few places left around the area where you do save while still enjoying some tacos every Tuesday. There’s the more popular and a bit bigger de anda across but they don’t have taco Tuesday, also a bit pricier as well. They’re just more convenient with probably the only one opening past midnight on weekend. Otherwise Rivera has one of the most value taco deal in town“

“It was one of Kobes favorite places to get mexican food and the workers there can tell u stories of when he would come in. Besides all that, the food is great and good portion size for the price. I was brought here by a foody and i bring everyone i respect and they all go back. They used to make their own chips and tortillas. I think they still do they just dont have a seperate counter for selling them anymore. Its a pretty big place (takes up 2 suites) with alot of seating. Just not a nice restaurant where u take ur family. Its good for take out and for a quick bite of really really good mexican food. Its kinda like half street, half sitdown with deep mexican roots. From the bay is wat i sayParking: One or two rows u park diagnolly. One way on the side closest to the storefront. I believe u can go either way in the middle but i forget. If u really cant find parking u can park by stater bros or on the opposite side.“

“I really like Taco Tuesdays so I eat tacos almost every Tuesday. I have tried tacos from quite a few taco places ranging from Orange County to San Diego over the years. When it comes to tacos, I prefer the traditional Mexican-style with meat, onions, cilantro, and salsa piled high on a corn tortilla over the Americanized versions loaded with lettuce, cheese, and other toppings.Even though I am not Mexican and have never actually been to Mexico to authentically experience tacos, I still pride myself on knowing what good, flavorful tacos taste like.Ponchos Tacos is located in a shopping mall in an industrial complex so it's not directly accessible from the main road (State College Blvd) resulting in fewer visitors due to the location in a less crowded shopping mall. When I visited, I was the only customer. Based on the location, it seemed like a place focused more on lunch than dinner business.The interior atmosphere was nothing fancy, very much a common street restaurant vibe focused on takeout. However, Ponchos Tacos' carne asada tacos were the most delicious I've had in the past few years. The prices are also cheap - Taco Tuesdays are $1.75 per taco. But the taco flavor is unmatched. The beans were also tasty. However, the rice was too salty for my taste.Overall, if you are in search of a delicious taco in the East Fullerton area, I highly recommend Ponchos Tacos. And when you pick up your order, don't forget to hit the salsa bar next to the counter to load up your tacos with some extra flavor!“

1 Whole Chicken with Tortillas 10 & Salsa

“Thoroughly impressed!! My entire party of 8 who got to enjoy this delicious food cannot stop raving about it. I hosted a dinner party for my grandpa's birthday last month. My family loves Juan Pollo, but I wanted something a bit closer since we live in Fullerton. I am so glad we picked this! Everything was phenomenal. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The beans were perfectly cooked and very tasty. I was worried about the potato salad. I am such a huge fan of Juan Pollo's and any competitors never tastes as good to me. Let me tell you, this was the best potato salad ever!! SO DANG GOOD! I tried a bite of the rice, also yummy. I wanted to keep my starch as the potato salad, since I had a few servings ;) I did not pick up the food, but my husband and grandpa said service was great. Everything was top notch, and we are now loyal customers.“

I personally like the Avocado Salsa to go with them. It's listed as hot, but my rating would be medium at most.“

I ordered the tacos and chilaquiles they were so good and everything was fresh and the salsa was perfect spicy just enough not to mention the customer service was excellent. I also saw people eating the menudo and they said it was delicious it was served in a big bowls like something you see at grandmas house or home looked so tasty! I'm not sure if they serve that during the week but Saturdays and Sundays for sure but regardless there's plenty of other amazing things on the menu and I really can't wait to go back and try them please try this place out you won't be disappointed.“

“Family owned business, food is always really good and fresh, only complaint is that their biggest asset was once "bang for your buck." Prices have skyrocketed way beyond reason in the last 3 years. You used to be able to get a bangin quesadilla with a double scoop of guac for 4.99. It's 11 or 12 bucks now. That's over a 100% increase, which is extremely disproportionate to the inflation rate. So most of the items you really don't get any value on. Food will definitely taste better than like Del taco food, but the prices are whack. Tv usually features a soccer match.“

“Before I get started on how awesome the food was, I want to share that the staff here is just wonderful. The people that helped us today were so sweet and took such pride in their food.So my husband and I ordered:- A la carte 2 chicken street tacos and 2 asada street tacos- 3 taco combo with 2 chicken tacos and 1 al pastor taco- horchata- chips and creamy guacamoleEverything we ordered was made fresh. The meat had so much flavor and was nice and moist. I could even taste a hint of pineapple in the al pastor.The fideo tasted like my grandmas ?The beans had the most perfect bacon flavor.The horchata has a rich strong flavor. It was not watered down like most places do.The chips were crisp, fresh and perfectly salted.The creamy guacamole was unlike any guac I have had before. This is what guacamole wants to grow up to be. It had an even creamy texture and was so flavorful.I cannot wait to go back This is honestly the best taco spot any where around here.“

My wife ordered the taquitos which did not disappoint. Super friendly staff, fronted by a young man who I suspect will run the restaurant one day. Will definitely be back. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: Lots of space between tables.“
