33 Best Mexican Restaurants in Mission Viejo

“Used the catering option available. Online you can select your proteins, quantities pick location and time. During the process prior to the event you will be contacted by a rep to confirm your selections. At the time of pickup all items ordered were delivered to the waiting car. Suggest you provide your own chaffing setup since you would want to keep the proteins warm. They don’t skimp on salsas, chips and condiments. Everyone was complementing the quality of food provided.“

“Great authentic Mexican food. The tacos are made with homemade tortillas which were delicious! The mole enchiladas were delicious and so were the chilaquiles. Delicious homemade salsas. Wonderful service and nice relaxing spot for an easy going and homey breakfast or lunch.“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“Love it. Will be next Tuesday“

“My wife and I stopped here for breakfast and it was great! 😊 we will be back“

“I like Nono's Affordable Mexican food, and a front patio to also eat at. I like there enchiladas, tostados, tacos.“

“My go-to taqueria in south OC. A plethora of homemade salsas, personal bags of chips go with every meal. They often have eacabeche carrots and limes that you just have to ask for, but no extra charge. All of the employees are warm and inviting and very helpful. I LOVE PERLAS!!!!!!! Ps get the chicken mole soft tacos on taco Tuesday, you will not regret it!!!!“

“Where do I start with this place! Great food, great service, and amazing welcoming staff. Their lobster burrito was different to my palate but very delighting. Creamy delicious creative food. I’ve been to many places to eat and have never sent a review, but Taco Mesa hit it on the head for more. Fun Mexican food that makes you feel good about what you’re eating due to the healthy fresh food! Will definitely be back very soon.“

“I live in Irvine, CA but our two local Baja's have closed. We have a remaining one but the food, service and atmosphere is 1 star. They charge for chips, sauce and are begrudging with any product.
We drive to Mission Viejo to the Baja on Alicia Parkway and it is wonderful. The staff are warm and friendly and the service and food are great. Worth the drive.“

“If I could give 10 stars they would get it! I rarely go online to write a review, and if I do it’s because I had a horrible experience. I wrote a positive review maybe twice in my life here’s my third. Start with the cashier, I really can’t say I ever had anyone serve me with a better attitude than the guy who helped me and I say right by the register and he kept that amazing attitude with all customers. At first I had 3 chicken tacos from the taco Tuesday deal (which I might say isn’t cheap, but quality costs) which were surprisingly good because I don’t love shredded chicken. The chicken was so good I decided to get an asada one as well just to make sure they really are as good as it seems. They crushed it, asada taco came to over 7$ after taxes and it glad to say I’ll be happy to pay that price anytime anywhere to get that same taco!“

“Was in the area and was craving Tacos.

This place hit the spot.

Located in a nice shipping plaza. The restaurant is clean with plenty of indoor seating as well a large patio seating area.

The menu is above the counter. There's a fresh salsa bar.

Lots of yummy options to choose from.

I got the two Taco plate with beans and rice.

The tacos are yummy and juicy. I added lots of fresh salsa, onions, and cilantro to my plate...it was so good!

Portions are just right and prices are good.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida lugar limpio buen servidor si lo recomiendo“

“Hello, more fantastic food now“

“I love this El Pollo Loco. I have been coming here for years but today felt compelled to write this review after a bad experience at the Costa Mesa location on Bristol. The service at this location is exceptional. They customize items for me and go above and beyond for customers. Their food is always delicious and the dining area is spacious and clean. They understand the rewards program and thankfully dont have kiosks! Thank you La Paz El Pollo Loco.“

“The new Smoky Oaxacan Shrimp 🍤 Bowl 🍲 is one their best creations. How can you beat rice and beans, Shrimp, guacamole, tortilla strips, and chipotle sauce. Probably a lot of sodium so you may want to get it to go and save some for later.“

“Tacos are HUGE. More like mini burritos. Tons of meat, loaded up. I had the carne asada and carnitas. I ordered three. I probably really only needed one, maybe two. It's that much food. Good prices, good salsa bar. We come here anytime we're in the area!“

“Great comfort food, excellent service from Julio as always. He's friendly, polite, and welcoming. We like to eat here when Julio's around and the other gentleman at the cashier.“

“This is not a fancy establishment with booths and table service. They have very flavorful entrees and authentic options such as their breakfast tacos and burritos with nopales (cactus). If you want pretty pictures of your food for reels... this is not the place. If yiu want hearty, delicious and a great value for what you pay, go no further.“

“Was visiting from out of town .always stop here for fresh coffee,and the breakfast burrito.grilled fresh.to order. happy to spend my money here .greeted respectfully here .descent salsa . Thank you

“Not sure what all the other low reviews are saying but this place is awesome. They LOADED my order. I asked for extra and they definitely gave me extra. The food is actually priced cheaper here compared to other locations, which is surprising considered it’s in a mall. They packed my bowl to the brim. Normally I like to shake my bowls but this bowl was so packed that the contents weren’t even moving🤣. No empty space in my bowl at all. Ordered 4/16/26 on a Thursday at 11:50 a.m. They made it quick. I ordered while inside the mall, walked over and my food was ready!“

“Your coming here for the authentic Mexican food for much lower prices than anything around. Not fancy and location looks a little run down, but when your getting tasty carnitas and chicken street tacos for around $2 per, and a little salsa bar, it’s a win. They’ve got amazing happy hour deals from 3-6 every day as well. Quick service and friendly environment with Mexican music subtly playing while you eat. Good experience for lunch!“

“I had the carnitas nachos and they had literally 4 strands of meat. The "cheese" was liquid, the sour cream was a dollop size and had a million of jalapeño slices and 10 gazillion nachos o and maybe 2 spoonfuls of beans. Soup spoonfuls. Worst fast food ever. Boise Id“

“Great experience at this chipotle! The service was excellent and Dominic was extremely generous and friendly as he assembled our bowls. I was very specific in asking for extra of some things and just a little of others and they were sensitive to everything I asked and honestly it was the biggest chipotle bowl I've ever gotten :) Daisy did a great job overseeing all the employees as well. The chipotle honey chicken is fire, please never get rid of it. Overall, this was the best experience I've had at any chipotle!“

“We love this place! Very convenient location next to Ralph’s and other shops. The food has always been amazing and consistent whether we dine in or order on DoorDash. The carnitas street tacos are my go-to and never disappoint! They have soda, water, beers ect. The staff have always been incredibly nice and helpful and always give an extra hello to my toddler.“

“This Chipotle is much smaller then most I've been to. The chicken wasn't cut up properly and there was too much cilantro in the brown rice. The chicken bowl was still good though because it's really hard to mess up a Chipotle chicken bowl.“

“Since the remodeling the atmosphere at Taco Bell has become very relaxing. The work area for specialty drinks has spread out and is visible from the waiting area. They have added chairs to the waiting area which is nice for those of us who are getting older.“

“Had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday. Nothing like a Mexican Pizza or a crunch wrap lol. We ordered both with a few tacos. The only thing missing was a margarita and maracas 🪇
Good service and positive Yo Quero Taco Bell 🔔 vibe!

“I've been going to this Taco Bell for years, two decades Plus so I've got a few things to say and it's come a long way I loved that in the bar seats there had electrical outlets to plug for your phone in to charge it sucks that they have removed them however you'll be able to enjoy using the restroom in private there are two bathrooms here they are located to the left once you walk in and pass a few of the tables each bathroom is a unisex bathroom with urinal , a toilet , a sink no mirror did I mentioned that there is no mirror establishment so you will not be getting ready here you may change quickly charge your phone in there“
