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

“Wow, great tacos! That was my first thought when I bit into my Carnitas taco.

I wanted something from a local family run Place and this fit the bill. The Carnitas taco were tinged with lime which made it amazing. Although the tacos are small they are stuffed with meat, very filling. I also got the Al pastor and the barbacoa. I tasted the other two but only ate one. The barbacoa was OK but it wasn’t my favorite, but very juicy. ($2.75/taco cash)

I loved that they gave me a bag of chips in my to go order. The salsa is a fresh chunky salsa and quite spicy. I don’t like the pureed type salsa because I don’t think it usually has a good flavor. I was happy with the fresh chunky style they serve.

This is definitely a hole in the wall. It was very busy at lunchtime. Coming up to the building it looks quite grubby but I pushed past that knowing that I had great ratings. I’m glad I did. It’s definitely not an updated, well kept restaurant but the food was great. I met a family who said they’ve been coming for years and love the food.

If you want mom and pop Place it seems to be very popular with good prices, check this place out.“

“The food is very fresh, creative and fun! Lots of great drinks to choose from - either with or without alcohol! Cudos to Chef Zachary for his talented culinary achievement.“

“Todo súper rico y barato 100% recomendable“

“Very well managed and great food.“

“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.“

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

“Nice lil “ma & pa “ place to eat.“

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

“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!“

“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! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“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 ☺️“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“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!“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“papa rellenos!!!!
the most delicious thing ever!!!
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!“

“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“

“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“

“We had a California burrito and a 2 taco plate and a side of churros with caramel sauce.

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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!😋🥰😃“

“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!“

“I visited Adam's Tacos tonight (formerly Tacos Manuel) to pick up tacos for the family and had a great experience. Adam was very friendly and gave me some recommendations to bring home. We had the carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, cabeza, and lengua tacos. Everything had great flavor - our favorite was the carne asada. We loved the grilled onions! Not sure how they're seasoned, but they were good! Also, the prices were very reasonable. My experience with food trucks has been that they are generally overpriced. Not the case at Adam's Tacos. We fed our family of 5 under $40 which is not very common these days. If you're looking for good tacos in the area, I'd recommend you give this place a shot.“

“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Everything was served very quickly, which we really appreciated. The tacos were especially good—full of flavor and perfectly prepared. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I would come back to.“

“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!“

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

“The best food in Orange County“

“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.“

“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.“

“WOW los probé me encantan riquísimos deliciosos tacos y su salsa 👍☺️“

“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.“

“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!“
