50 Best Taco Restaurants near Irvine

“Their salsa roja is butthole burning hot 🔥 Pairs very well with their pizzabirria“

“Filling and well prepared!“

“I ordered the Baja fish tacos and the Watermelon Margarita. The tacos were amazing and the Watermelon Margarita was one of the best I have ever had! 😎“

“Every time I try Wahoo’s, their plates are consistently delicious, well-seasoned, and the rice is made well. Bowls with just a few key ingredients but done really well. I’d definitely recommend Wahoo’s for a quick bite. The staff there are always kind and wear a smile. It’s usually not super packed so it’s easy to find a seat and have a quiet meal.

🥩 Maui Steak Bowl: the steak is cut into bite sized pieces with enough sauce that it’s not overpowering the salsa and beans. It’s a great combination and leaves you feeling full. The rice is fluffy and never undercooked.

🥤Guava Bunderberg: honestly the fizziness kind of offsets the flavor but still a really good drink. Love Bundaberg!“

“Late night taco munchies aft a Gwen Stefani concert,,,it's the same wth all JnB,,thy never put napkins wth ur order,,,u hv to ask for ketchup, hot sauce,,,“

“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.“

“Nice location with plenty of parking. Service was great with helpful team members. Also, it is a nice atmosphere to enjoy your food without loud conversations and noise.
Food was freshly prepared with a good selection of menu options for your desire.

My only suggestion is to get rid of the self-service electronic machines. Customers prefer an intimate human touch with their dining experience.

Thank you“

“Excellent taco spot in Costa Mesa. The atmosphere is great and they have delicious food. The poke nachos were a stand out item and I especially loved the ribeye taco. Worth checking out!

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

“Tacos. 5 star
Burritos. 5 star
Salsa for chips 5 star
They need to improve the salsas for the tacos because they are mediocre and the chips are served cold and oily they need a chips heater! Otherwise this place would be a 5 star.“

“Nice lil “ma & pa “ place to eat.“

“Great food excellent service“

“First time here, used the drive thru. The guys working where very friendly. Asked if this was the first time there and explained portions.(if you're hungry a butrito is probably not enough, you might want a taco with it, and tacos are 5 inches) They have a sign that they cook with beef tallow but vegetarian is an option . Got an order ot hand made tortillas 10/10, and a cheese ans bean burrito. The green salsa was not my favorite, but the tomatillo was bomb.“

“Great food, ingredients and flavor. Very clean, comfortable, family friendly establishment. Great place to grab a bite.“

“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+“

“The birria tacos were so amazing especially with all the options for salsa that they had! My friend got the carnitas torta, which was also really great too. The vibe inside is strangely really comfortable at night, and everyone there was nice. It’s not too loud. The staff waved us goodbye and thanked us when we left even though they must have been tired.“

“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!“

“The best in Santa Ana . Deliciosas carnitas el sabor es unico“

“I am surprised to not see more people whenever I go eat here, as well as more reviews. I have eaten at this location 4x now and the taste and service has been consistent. They have a good variety of meats and options to choose from. Best part is that they have delicious tacos for only $1! They are small tacos with 2 tortillas, but they are topped well and the salsas do not disappoint. I like the touch of the added chopped cabbage on the taco. I definitely suggest you give this truck a try. $1 tacos everyday!“

“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.“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

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

“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.“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“These guys helping us were so happy, kind, and helpful. My 3 boys had crazy orders and these guys nailed their very particular orders, AND did it while having fun with us. Also, the food was so good. All the meats we tried were ?!!! 2 of my boys went back for second orders! When we left, even my husband said “the workers in there were all so happy”“

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

“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!!!😋🥰😃“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“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!“

“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“

“Such great home style cooking. This place really brings you back to real and comfort cooking.What we purchased- I ordered the menudo. Whenever your sick, fresh bowl of menudo does the trick. That’s what I got. It was so flavorful. The tripe is so fresh and perfect. It doesn’t have any hominy which is the best because I don’t like it. I’m more of meat and soup kind of person. So this was perfect.- Birria combo plate! Perfect!! My husband ate this. It was soo much food and also great for left overs.- Ham and egg taco. It was so nice of the server and the chef in the back to make my toddler ham and egg taco. My toddler devoured it. So he really liked it.- Side of rice and beans. My toddler loves rice and beans. What can you say he is a growing boy.- Shrimp taco. I wanted to try this. Don’t judge me. Yes I ate this too. What can you expect. We came here hungry.- Horchata. Delicious. My toddler drank this whole thing. HahahahaOverall a great experience. Love the salsa bar. A hole in a whole vibe but really worth it. Definitely coming back since fall/winter is finally here.“

“Bomb tacos tortas burritos sopes lots of other foods a variety of meats great prices fast service the salsa is delicious all of them are spicy with lots of flavor . Cilantro lemons radishes include in every order . $8 a torta is overly expensive though. Everything else is a good deal .“

“Stopped by tonight after a gala and enjoyed their quesobirrio pizza, variety of tacos such as pork belly and pastor, and asada waffle fries. Huge portions on the fries and the pizza was probably a average medium. I had the pork belly which was flavorful and delicious. I'm super picky on my pastor, so these weren't my favorite, though they were very good. The waffle fries were wonderfully crispy. My favorite was the pizza. It was crispy, flavorful, and freaking delicious. They're open until 11 pm and when we left there was a decent group of people waiting. The chef said that if there's a line they keep serving. Now, that's dedication. They also own the barber shop, so maybe check that out if you need a cut. I'll be back for sure. The food was on point and their customer service was fantastic. Seriously nice dudes. Thanks so much!“

“Best customer service ever and the tacos was amazing just like big boy said the best tacos and we couldn’t get enough we had to get more tacos and she took very good care of us and I am a very big fan of big boy from strength cartel she made me feel very welcomed and took very good care of us we came all the way from Oklahoma City“

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

“Super recommended, better than the tacos bravos, the tripe is well browned with the whole pieces (not ground), the chorizo ​​is very delicious and the mulitas are not to mention well browned and not at all greasy when biting like in other places, 10 out of 10 ??“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Been here about 10 times now, discovered it one day in Newport for my first Mother’s Day, they were giving moms free churros and it was such a pleasant experience we’ve been making the 30 min drive to come back ever since. Always a pleasant experience, service is always friendly and quick, the atmosphere is fun with an 2 inside areas and 2 outside areas andthe food is great (we mostly always get steak Chilaquiles and their steak breakfast burrito). This is a great place for toddlers/kids we love sitting on the patio area with grass and tv, we’re happy and our kiddos are happy. The food is always reliably tasty well cooked meat and free chips and salsa (lots of salsa choices and all good). I’ve even come here with my girlfriend for a mom’s day out. Highly recommend such a pleasant experience and ideal spot for watching sporting events or just to feel comfortable eating out with kiddos!

Kid-friendliness: Ideal for kids and toddlers“

“Holy smokes by far the best tacos I ever had! The flavor was sooooo deep! I never had cabases (head) before and my mind was blown of how GOOOD IT WAS! I also got al pastor and chorizo which was just as yummy! And the horochata they made was sooo unique had a flavor of Carmel but it wasn't! My friend who's Mexican showed me this place and I Thank God because wow felt like i was in Mexico eating it! Highly recommended this place to all those who loves tacos!“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“The food and service at Tacos Manuel was exceptional. We selected this restaurant based upon the reviews. We were in Anaheim on a family trip to Disneyland and we were staying in a local motel. We liked the food so much that we returned a second time. In between our two visits we eat at a local pizzeria and everyone commented on how we should have go for dinner at Tacos Manuel. If in the LA area again, we would drive out of our way to order another round of amazing burritos. Most excellent!“

“toda la comida muy rica excelente servicio amabilidad muy buen precio en comparaciones de otro lugar los tacos de asada muy ricos“

“Hard shell tacos and fresh Jamaica drink!“

“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.“
