50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Huntington Beach

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

“Amazing fior, great service, can't say enough positive stuff about this place!“

“I was introduced to this place by a friend of mine who originally comes from Missouri. I would have never stopped here otherwise. It’s almost hidden and easy to pass right by. DELICIOUS tacos in a perfect little beach-friendly, local surfer type spot. Tables are literally next to the parking spots, just plopped in the lot. Come here for sunshine, great tacos and a reminder that life it full of greatness when you ditch the fluff. Great staff too! Cash only, fyi“

“Great yumminess Awesome service“

“Wow, talk about being transportedto Rosarito México, authentic Mexican food. Delicious in flavor food was delicious. If your in the area stop by and have some great food. Oh and they have sugar cane Coke. The real Mexico Coke. People here really cool vibes“

“What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a shot for breakfast this morning... it instantly became our new favorite breakfast spot in OC. It was THAT good. Like, we're already planning to come try lunch here in a few days. The prices were very fair for the portion sizes (the breakfast burrito was huge!). Of course we had to try a couple of street tacos because my husband and I are kind of on a street taco kick right now, and omg. When I say their carne asada is the BEST we've tried so far - and we've tried LOTS - I am 100% serious, it is so freaking delicious! The al pastor too, soooo good. We can't wait to come back and try more! Also wanted to mention the gentleman at the counter who served us, I didn't catch his name, but he was so welcoming and kind. He might have been the owner, not sure. You HAVE to try Roman's if you're in the area... and even if you're not, it's worth going out of the way for. Amazing experience!“

“Visiting the area and looking for a local restaurant offering fish tacos! The Fiesta Grill did not disappoint! We ordered the Asada taco and Fish Baja-Style tacos! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Highly recommend if you are looking for local and definitely non-commercial place to eat at! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere ♥️ 🌮 🥰“

“Great view of Main st and the ocean!“

“Awesome food great price in cheap eats that’s good in HB“

“my first time here. I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was super delicious.“

“The food and drinks are always fabulous but the service is honestly what keeps me coming back. Literally the best service I’ve had at any restaurant and I go to a lot of high end restaurants. The best part they always remember me but, honestly I think it’s because my very large brown and white standArd poodle who actually sits in the both with me. Either way I love the waitresses there all so sweet and friendly and, I really enjoy the food and drinks. It’s my Tuesday night go to.“

“I’ve been coming to Que Vida Tacos HB for over a year since I discovered they were in Beach Blvd in Morhers shopping center. Their food is excellent and their service is exceptional. They are very kind, friendly and always go out of their way for me and as am eating, I notice them asking other tables, how they like their food and if there is anything else they need. I would give more stars, if I could because Que Vida Tacos is bringing back the genuine old school service that is rear to find. Edwin Jess, Big T, everyone is awesome.“

“The best Mexican food in the area!“

“I used to eat at Wahoo’s (different location) every week in college and then I moved out of the area. When I came back to the area and rediscovered this place, I was so grateful to be able to still get great food at a reasonable price. Burritos are tasty and not too heavy. My favorite is the bowls and different protein options“

“I just want to give a shout out to Abbie! She really turned my day around with the awesome service she gave to me today. She’s one of those employees that goes above and beyond that will keep me coming back to Rubio’s! She also recommended a steak taco which was bomb! Thanks again Abbie you’re the best ☺️“

“It just doesn’t change. Always good, honest food at reasonable prices. I’ve been coming since 1967“

“This place serves outstanding homestyle Mexican food with a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the owners clearly take pride in both their service and the freshness of the food. Everything comes out hot and fresh without a long wait, generously filled with meat but not greasy at all. The prices are very reasonable for such a satisfying meal, making it an excellent value. With parking lot space available and consistently great quality, this has easily become my go-to spot whenever I’m craving authentic tacos.“

“This place has the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Amazing, tamales, and tacos. And you can’t beat the price. Every time a travel to SoCal, I always had this place up at least once.“

“My wife and I went here for a late lunch, we were staying nearby for the week enjoying the beach.( this place is just across the street from the beach but no beach view)
My wife and I go to dinner a few times a week..Every friday night we go to our local mexican restaurant near home. If this were close to us, this is where we would go every week. The food is great service was awesome, Drinks are good.
The food make sure think of grandma's house.
We will definitely be back“

“Good Mexican food. Good service. Clean, and very good prices that really haven't changed a whole lot over the years. I've been going here on and off for very long time. The Green Chile Burrito and the Hard Shell Shredded Beef Tacos are Favorites. They have breakfast too which is pretty decent. Thank you“

“This is a great taco truck. The food is great and the women inside the truck who are serving the food are incredibly nice. We arrived at a park where they were setting up for a private event, how we still took our order and the carne asada burrito was delicious. Served with three sides of salsa and grilled onions! Next time I see this truck, I’ll be getting something for sure!“

“food was really good. the salsa they make is excellent. can't wait to try weekly specials.“

“So typically I have enjoyed everything I have ordered . Today I got the steak fajita and chips and Salsa through grub hub (.I live very close) The portion size of the fajita was very small for the price like the smallest portion i've ever seen for a fajita. It was also very chewy and not flavorful at all. And surprisingly the chips were stale. I typically wouldn't even waste my time on a review but this was pretty bad.“

“I really love Rodrigo's Mexican Grill in Buena Park, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🍽“

“Wonderful place too eat and good food 🥘“

“Never had a bad meal or bad service. going there 30 years or so. My favorite is P.V. shrimp 🍤 big shrimps wrapped in bacon. So yummy !! Nice seating as well. So try it you will like it.👍“

“Wahoo's can add 7,000 items to the menu if they want, but the undisputed heavyweight champion of the franchise is still the crispy fish taco. Years ago it was flounder (I think), now it's pollock, but whatever fish is volunteering for the cause these days, it's still carrying the entire operation on its back.

I ordered two tacos and a fish/beef bowl. The tacos? Good. Dependably good. The kind of good that reminds you why you walked through the door in the first place.

The bowl was a tale of two proteins. The fish was okay—perfectly edible, no complaints. The beef, however, tasted like it may have been sourced from the final resting place of a retired baseball glove. Was it beef? Was it sporting equipment? Science may never know.

Service was very good—friendly, fast, and the best part of the experience not wrapped in a tortilla.

Total Bill: $43 including tip.

Would I eat here again? If circumstances required it, absolutely. Tacos? Yes. Everything else? Let's not get carried away.“

“We HAD to go back a second time before we left for home!! Blady’s Taco 🌮 was highly recommended to check out while in Cali. So glad we did! Great food, friendly owner and excellent value! So happy to support a family-owned biz!“

“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.“

“Love the 4S location. Portions are large so worth the price. Ian has helped us several times and always goes above and beyond.“

“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.“

Delicious and fresh salsas, guacamole, and chips. Great food and great prices, highly recommend. Happy hour deals from 3-6 as well. Great service too. Amazing, will be back.“

“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!“

“Always amazingly consistent Mexican food! My go to spot for breakfast burritos. Def a hidden gem.“
