“This is a phenomenal, authentic old-school Mexican eatery bursting with flavor and priced right. You best believe the two ladies behind the counter know the meaning of auténtico. My tacos were cooked to order on homemade tortillas. I dressed mine up with some toppings from the salsa bar. When I sent a pic to my dad, he said “When they have radishes it’s usually a good bet.” He nailed it.

I went with birria and carne asada. The meat is juicy and tender, with the perfect blend of spices and seasoning. The aromas from the grill made my mouth water. The condiment bar is loaded with different cremas, a tangy salsa verde with charred peppers, radish, onion, and carrot.

This is an honest-to-goodness SoCal treasure and it’s only a few minutes from the Magic Park.“

“If you know the memes, you know this place is going to be awesome as soon as you see the front of this place. A little hole in the wall that served some of the best adobada, on tacos and on a platter. Probably better than Gordos. Corn tortillas were steamed just right and weren’t overly sweet.“

“Best Tacos I ever had in OC!“

“Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Food came out quick and was absolutely delicious.“

“Chava's is solid. Their al pastor reminds us why tacos are one of the most satisfying foods to eat. Great pricing, which encourages you to top off with a few more! 6 for me, 6 for my son. Great salsas too.
Super cool service, convenient, ty.“

“Theynare quick, the whole place is nice and clean. This place used to have outside tables, no more so it is just a pick up, no drive thru. The wait is no more than 10 min, but if people ahead of you, may be longer. I suggest to order by phone and go inside even if there is a line to register thatbsays pick up, no wait at all. Food is delish especially their asada tacos, are huge. If you take tortillas with you ensure to eat them same day, they get hard after and yes can be warmed up but they are not mission or guerrero, soft when out of fridge, but they taste delish with the food. Depending on what you buying the cost will vary from $ to $25, but is is worth it.“

“Here visiting Disney and wanted authentic Mexican food! This place is legit and make your feel like your sitting in Mexico. Food was AMAZING!“

“Every Tamale is great! We tried all the different ones. All Great. The Jalapeno is my favorite! Great service Highly Recommended.“

“The tacos, yes! They are just as good as they look on on yelp my only con but something that could be a personal taste is that the tripa is cut too big. But the potato is to live for. Well mixed, cheesy, buttery and a nice portion of meat. Oh and amazing selection of salsas.“

“Te lo recomiendo todo muy rico 😋“

“Small place but awesome food! Menudo and tacos are delicious. The service is awesome! The lady in the afternoon is the best! She is always very friendly and gets your food quickly. It's one of my favorites place for.mwxican food.“

“Last week was our first time we came to that good restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the courteous service, with the magnificent dishes and fine drinks and with the decent cost. We will definitely visit there soon.“

“I usually go to the one in placenta so I figured I’ll try this one I was in the area. I got the carne asada burrito and they did not disappoint, great quality of food giant portions and just really tasty. Service was great and the inside was dead so I had the whole restaurant to myself. They are taking care of this place well it’s like brand new in there. I’ll definitely be back“

“Born and raised in San Diego and this brought back memories of my teenage and early 20's. The flavor of the carne asada, chips, guacamole, and hot sauce are what San Diego Mexican food was like in the early 2000's. Abelitos cooks quality Mexican food that brought the nostalgia back. This will be my go to Mexican whenever in the area.“

“They are very friendly and great food 💕💕“

“I always recommend the fish tacos so good 🌮🌮🌮“

“Had these tacos after a long day at Universal. We are a fan! We have told everybody about them! Al Pastor, asada, pollo, chorizo, suadero, you really can’t go wrong! So delicious! I didn’t even get a picture of my tacos I ate them so fast!“

“Recomendadicimas 🤤🤤🤤 Excelente servicio👌👌“

“Been here a few times, if the location were a little more put together, would give them 5 stars. Food here is great, and at a good price. You may have a short line when you come. Parking is okay. Entrance, bathroom and seating are all accessible. Didn't notice any handicapped parking near the entrance, and there was a curb, so may be some issue parking and getting in if you have someone handicapped. Restrooms are clean. I've only ever gotten the tacos, seems to be what they do the most business in. People do get other stuff, staff are very nice, will certainly come here again anytime I am craving a taco, plus they are open late!“
