50 Best Taco Restaurants near Irvine

“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! 😎“

“We had a late lunch around 2pm and just a handful of customers inside. Since we may have looked a little lost since first time here, a staff member kindly stepped us through the process on the ordering station, giving us high-level suggestions, and answering various questions. We each had soft tacos, mine had grilled swai (a non-fishy fish) and my hubs had his deep fried swai. The staff member also mentioned that we could delete items in the tacos such as tomato and also request extra salsa, green or red. Came with 2 sides. Ended up putting some of my cole slaw into the taco. Messy, but very yummy!“

“Filling and well prepared!“

“I have been coming to this location for quite some time, and while I was disappointed to find out that my favorite Kalua Pork Bowl is no longer on the menu, Bianca completely turned my experience around.

She recommended a similar dish, and I ended up loving it! Bianca is always welcoming, friendly, and has a smile that makes every customer feel valued. Her knowledge of the menu is outstanding, and she's always happy to answer questions and make great recommendations.

What impressed me even more was watching her help her coworkers while keeping up with taking orders and delivering food to guests, including me. She truly goes above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely cares about providing excellent customer service.

Every time I visit, Bianca consistently provides an exceptional experience. Employees like her are the reason customers keep coming back. She absolutely deserves recognition—and in my opinion, a well-earned raise!

Thank you, Bianca, for always making every visit such a positive one. Keep up the amazing work!“

“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!“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“I absolutely LOVE this place! It’s kind of a RARE GEM I would say, because it’s hidden off of a smaller residential Street, called standard, and Edinger, which is a main street but it’s tucked in the corner behind the gas station. For many visits, all I ordered were the Birria & queso Birria tacos with their delicious consome.. THEN, I started trying all their other things like the huaraches and more and honestly, their menu is so vast and so many options and everything is delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything to be honest!

And they make homemade Agua Fresca’s and I feel like it’s only a little bit of sugar and they’re so good. You guys can’t get your meal without one!

This is a cool little hole in the wall, but nice hole in the wall just meaning it’s a small restaurant, but they have tables and boots so you can come sit down.. it’s a great date night spot also!

Evelia is the manager I believe and she is so awesome! She gives great service and she’s so sweet, thank you for the great food & service! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“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!“

“Big portions for low prices (considering our economy). The torta cubana was delicious. Packed to bursting with meat, cheese, and all the trimmings. They do the same with their burritos.
My friend says their lengua is the best he’s ever had.
Since this inside North Gate, depending on the time of day/week, it might be much busier and/or harder to find seating. We had to sit somewhere in the market that wasn’t nearby“

“papa rellenos!!!!

everything going in this world is shit but papa rellenos gives me hope!!!
papa rellenos will abolish ice, provide free healthcare to all and most importantly assassinate trump!“

Service was great, fast and friendly!

We came in at the end of the day and the burrito meat was a bit dry/hard but I loved the tacos I got! And would definitely eat there again!“

“We had such a great experience! I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had the chicken enchiladas Michoacanas. Both dishes were full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. We also had two margarita flights, and every flavor was delicious. The food, drinks, and overall experience were excellent. And our server Vanessa did an amazing job she was so attentive.“

“Hands down the best al pastor tacos in orange county and dare I say LA as well. I have been to hundreds of taco stands and food trucks in every big city and small town from Yuba County to San Diego. This place is top 3 for sure in all of California but I would say number 1 in South LA OC area“

“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!!“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“THE taco trucks to go to in Santa Ana. They also have one on St. Andrew and Flower next to Happy's Liquor. The Papa Doradita Tacos (Fried Potato) are a MUST GET, I've been eating from this family of taco trucks for at least 10 years, my mom loves the Tripa tacos, my friends normally get Cabeza or Buche or the Potato Tacos.“

“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!!!😋🥰😃“

“Not only was the breakfast burrito incredible, but the best part had to of been the hospitality, and that’s saying something since the breakfast burrito was really really good. I’d easily say this is a must try for anyone in the area, will be coming back. The hibiscus Aqua Fresca is also insanely delicious and fresh.“
