New Mexican Restaurants near Irvine, CA

“French onion soup was absolutely delicious and we also got a side of fries. We took advantage of happy hour which made it awesome and the drinks are really cheap but because of the holiday it was extremely packed and I felt so bad for the bartenders because they just could not keep upon New Year’s. They had one bartender. Be prepared though you are going to be paying $20 for a burger.“

“Attention all Final Fantasy 14 fans: This place serves the Xibruq Pibil from the Dawntrails story quests! Its real name is Cochinita Pibil and it's great. You can experience what Koana & Wuk Lamat had here! Taco Tuesdays are $2.50/taco.

Parking: You pay by phone or app“

“Just celebrated a double birthday lunch at Jardin Autentica Cocina after finding it on Instagram and boy, did it deliver! Decor, ambiance, food - everything was top-notch. It seemed like half the restaurant was celebrating a birthday, but didn't detract from our experience. Reservations are a must, super busy! Already looking forward to coming back. @jardinoc“

“Ordered to go. Service was solid. Started out hot out the gate with a 10/10 Baja style fish taco. Al Pastor taco = 6/10
Rice and Beans were also a mediocre 5.5/10 overall rating 7.2 but the happy hour and $13 lunch special is pretty good value. Will try again.“

“We live closer to the location off El Toro Rd, but the Newport Blvd location has Taco Tuesday. Both have excellent food (all days of the week), excellent service, excellent atmosphere. We never have a complaint. The physical quality of the chips is random, sometimes not warm-hot and sometimes not crisp, but always good tasting, never old. If the only thing I can mention is the chips, then the place is worth our visits a couple times per month.“

“Our experience was so phenomenal, we have booked another reservation just three days later! The cocktails are beautifully and meticulously prepared. Definitely try an old fashioned or any of their mezcal cocktails. The esquites are hands-down the best we have ever eaten- just the right amount of lime and salt flavors. The filet mignon tacos were melt-in-your-mouth delicious, as were the shrimp enchiladas. Not only is the menu impeccable, the service is outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating, and we had such a wonderful time getting to know Matt, the bartender. The bar and dining room are beautifully decorated, the music is authentic and fun, and it's just an overall feel-good place.“

“The best lunch tostada ever! Filled with a large helping of chicken which was cooked in a wonderful sauce. with refried beans in the bottom of the eatable tostada bowl. A huge helping of both sour cream and the most delicious guacamole. Beautifully presented with super service., great chips and salsa, Lovely ambiance. Came home "stuffed".“
