Harbor Mexican Cafe is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Mexican cuisine in La Habra! I started with the albondigas soup, which was hearty, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned – pure comfort in a bowl. Then came the quesabirria tacos: cheesy, juicy beef birria stuffed in crispy tortillas, served with rich consommé for dipping. Absolute perfection! I also got the three beef birria tacos with rice and beans – generous portions and so satisfying. Finished off with the shrimp and steak fajitas, sizzling hot with tender meat, fresh veggies, and that smoky grill flavor. Everything was fresh, delicious, and made with care. The service was friendly and attentive, the place is clean and welcoming, and the portions are huge for the price. Highly recommend – I'll be back soon!

Love this place, Julietta is the best server, always checking to see if you anything. The food is delicious!!! From Albondigas soup to breakfast molcajete .. they use great meat quality for the molcajete and fajitas beef. One thing for sure you’ll get your rice and tortilla with your albondigas soup with no extra charge.

The best restaurant I've been to this year! The food was so good I forgot o take a picture. I ordered and Steak And Pancakes. The quality was amazing. The salsa was a mixture of mild spice and ingredients. Definitely coming back here again.

Food is good tasting, just a little heavy on the spices.
Relaxed & comfortable. Happy, friendly service, not rushed and I didn't have to ask/wait to get my drink refilled. The food is really fresh & tasty & my tostada bowl was full to the edges & rounded on top.
Best Mexican food in OC. Everything that I've had so far has been excellent, the chips and salsa is my favorite.

This spot is a true hidden gem for authentic Mexican food. I came during lunch, and both the patio and interior were filled with regulars — always a great sign!
I ordered the shrimp fajitas, shrimp campechana, quesabirria tacos, menudo, and horchata — and every single item hit the spot. The quesabirria tacos were especially flavorful and cheesy, and their chips and salsa had the perfect spicy kick. The service was friendly and fast, and the interior was super clean and inviting.
Whether you’re craving seafood, tacos, or a classic bowl of menudo, Harbor Mexican Cafe delivers. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the La Habra area!
Good food and good service!
