“Food is consistent. The last time we were here was pre-covid.

The ordering system takes a few trys to get used to, but this gentleman, Jesus made sure everything went smoothly.

On top of the food being delicious, Jesus, and his team made sure our experience here was top notch.

Edit: Prior to visiting pre-covid, we popped in last week and was helped by Marie. She was the reason why we wanted to dine in, again.

Then Jesus took the customer service to the next level.
Thank you, Jesus and Marie.

We'll be back.“

“Awesome pub on campus. Great bar food such as burgers, “stoner” fries with carne asada, nachos etc.. great kombucha beer options on tap as well as ciders.. also huge beer selection as well.
Great place to get together with friends or have some food and study. Bartenders are really nice.“

“Best Mexican food. Friendliest service. Words can't describe the happy feeling I get eating here.

You must try everything!! Stand outs for me were the Carnitas, Cabeza, bucce, and the BEANS!! Make sure you get the beans and rice!! Their chips and salsa are the best appetizer, and snack on the way home! And their Menudo is a must!! Get there early on a weekend to avoid disappointment.“

“Great food! It’s become our weekly meal“

“quesabirria tacos go craaazy hard here! the consomé is *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏽 & the smoked pollo asado was surprisingly amazing! 10/10“

“Tiny burrito joint with taco in the name, lol. Literally one of my top two burrito joints in the universe. If you are nearby, you are foolish if you don’t stop by and get a tasty meal.“

“This is the best tacos in OC! Love the quesobirria tacos! My kids love it here 😋😋😋 please check it out you will not be disappointed ☺️“

“Best birria I’ve ever had. And I have had a lot. I literally drank the consommé straight and I’m tempted to go back and order a gallon of it. The staff were so friendly. Parking was easy to find at noon on a Sunday. Lots of seats and not facing the road. Loved it!!“

“I ordered the fish & chips. To go. It was absolutely fantastic tasting and fresh. I’m most definitely going back and highly, and I mean highly? Recommend this. Place!“

“tacos lengua. I live .01 ml from this joint. first time. will return. uber clean. I am a sushi/sanitation expert with 30 yrs in the field. these folk get an A+“

“Carne Asada was more like carne molida (ground beef). It was tasty but it didn't feel high quality. I ordered Carne Asada burrito + guacamole ($18) and I could barely find guacamole or Carne asada. Tacos were so muchhhh better- stuffed with Carne and guacamole ($7 each) . Much better deal to just get tacos unless you want mostly tortilla and rice as your burrito.“

“Excelente servicio y muy buen sabor! 👌🏾🌮🌯“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“papa rellenos!!!!

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“Very flavorful tacos. The seasoning was elite and the tortilla was phenomenal. The meat itself was slightly dry. The portion size is about what you’d expect for $2. The only issue I had with the service was that they did not do a good job of labeling the packages for the other guests in my party.“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. Only outdoor seating and walk up window to order. Perfect spot to grab a bite before the pageant of the masters about 10 minute walk from there! Steak Street Tacos beans and rice were excellent. A little disappointed they had run out of the jerk chicken. We will have to go back to try it!“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“They also serve halal meat so if people are trying to find halal meat ask them to get you halal ones even the shrimps taste so good yummy
For late night a good spot as it's a food truck we shouldn't be judging for atmosphere I hope they grow a lot and open up restaurants across LA“

“amazing tacos for $3. carne asada and al pastor are stand out favorites. sometimes, we eat here more than once a week and drive about 20 minutes. cannot beat the atmosphere as there's margaritas, churros, aguas frescas, and all the pairings you can imagine right there in the market. don't let the long line scare you, it moves quick!“

“Great food, friendly service and amazing staff to take care of you“

“Been coming here for years since i was a little girl where they first began on the corner off civic center & fairview , now located on Bristol & first street behind a shopping center , it’s amazing how i got close to the owner as now knows my husband and I and the lovely ladys as well , they already know us by the usual we always get !! Which are the Street Hot Dogs as we toss in some green salsa and it hits the spot !! Especially homemade avena for the cold weather!! Of course we have tried the rest of the menu and it doesn’t disappoints!!“

“This is one of my favorite taco spots in Santa Ana. The tacos are soo good. Their salsas are delicious.

They have a nice assortment of drinks along with a nice selection of meats. Their meats are well cooked and seasoned so deliciously.

I can only eat chicken and am often disappointed with chicken tacos since they often lack flavor or are cooked poorly but this place is far from a disappointment. I love coming here time and time again.

There aren't any tables just chairs to sit at. You can also order your plate to go. You can also call to place your order in advance.“

“Hard shell tacos and fresh Jamaica drink!“

“They catered our monthly event we call "Together" at Calvary Chapel Pacific Hills last night and all of their food was fabulous! I wish I had known about them for my upcoming Fiesta event in May at my mobile home park. Well I know who will be catering it next year: TB!!!😋🥰😃“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“The best food in Orange County“

“In my opinion, the best taco truck in Santa Ana. Taco meat is never dry or lacking flavor, salsas are dynamite, and they're tortillas are always crunchy and soft at the same time if that makes sense, if it doesn't, then find out by trying this amazing mobile establishment. I've been here several times and I haven't gotten sick once, and I have a delicate stomach due to ulcers.“

“The tacos were ginormous and basically meat explosions. The burrito, while scrumptious, was a tad meat-stingy. This place has tables and seating coming out of its ears for dine-in enthusiasts. And don't even get me started on the parking – it's like they're begging you to bring your entire crew. The price? Totally reasonable, not a single complaint. I'd swing by again in a heartbeat to try more menu goodies.“

“There was 7 of us in town for a conference and we stumbled upon Hole in the Wall Burger! Burger was delicious the service outstanding and special sauce of the chart’s. Next time I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping by and have a burger!“

“Love these tacos! My husband doesn’t eat carne asada anywhere but he tried it here in tacos and he loves it. We stop by after our Disney days and it’s always so good 😊“

“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“

“These guys are terrific. I found them by accident a few months ago and now I return whenever I'm in the area. Stop and get some great Mexican food you will not regret it.“

“Been to la Fortuna a couple times and it does not dissapoint. I normally go late at night after work and it hits the spot. They have a variety of meats to choose from and I've tried them all. I like that I'm allowed to have an open tab "cuenta abierta" and keep on ordering tacos. I would say my favorite meats are : cesina, cabeza, asada, suadero, and tripa. I love all their salsas too, they have two greens and one red.(the best is the light green salsa). These tacos melt in your mouth and are the perfect bite size. Give them a try.“

“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.“

“I just ordered the salmon plate and it was absolutely the best salmon I've ever had. yummy!!! I will absolutely order again. I can't wait to try more items.“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“
