“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+“

“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! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“Love the place. Plenty of meat in a taco. Everything is well seasoned. Great sauce/salsa selection.

Can't go wrong with a simple taco and add your own toppings. I love to upgrade my tacos to an Anaheim taco which adds a roasted Anaheim pepper inside.

Cebollitas are a must!

Always a treat!“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“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 ☺️“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“So glad we stumbled upon this place. Great service and excellent food. Will definitely become regulars. Recommend club sandwich and Chilaquiles!!!!“

“Al Pastor and Carnitas Tacos were on point! Carne Asada could have had some more char on it, but the flavor was there. Hand made tortillas and salsas are great! No Templeton sighting on this trip. 🐙“

“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!“

“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“

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

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“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.“

“One of my daughter’s favorite spots! I’ve passed by many times, and she finally convinced me to check it out. It’s located outside the Bank of America plaza on Bolsa and Magnolia, with easy and plentiful parking.

The vibe is lively and welcoming, like a family cookout. They grill pork off the spit, and beef and chicken slow cooked to perfection, all served in warm, small corn tortillas. The organized sauce bar lets you customize, and the cooks grill onions to your liking.

Tacos are $2 each, an amazing deal for the quality! I’m usually not a taco person, but their beef taco was surprisingly flavorful and delicious. Definitely come back!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I just have to say this. EVERY time I eat at Casa Jiménez Huntington Beach it ALWAYS seems like the best meal (of any kind) I have EVER tasted! Last night was no exception. YUM. And congratulations on the remodel with a fancy new bar! You guys ROCK.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best food in Orange County“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The best food in Orange County“

“I’ve been coming to Que Vida Tacos HB for over a year since I discovered they were in Beach Blvd in Morhers shopping center. Their food is excellent and their service is exceptional. They are very kind, friendly and always go out of their way for me and as am eating, I notice them asking other tables, how they like their food and if there is anything else they need. I would give more stars, if I could because Que Vida Tacos is bringing back the genuine old school service that is rear to find. Edwin Jess, Big T, everyone is awesome.“

“there food is really good especially there keto tacos...people you should try and eat there food here I promise you that you kept regret it“

“I have a difficult time finding late night taco trucks since moving down to Orange County, but on my way home from a Punk show, I accidentally passed by this spot and had to flipped a uey. Absolutely worth the questionable traffic violation. My Spanish isn't great but ordered 4 al pastor tacos with the spiciest salsa (roja). Perfectly seasoned, juicy, flavorful, and has the classic charred bits for a nice crunch which I love. The salsa roja does not play. I'm Lao/Thai and it's easily a 4/5 spicy, but did not overpower the taste of the tacos. It was missing pineapples for a classic al pastor, but it's okay, it was still great. Finding tacos for under $3 in this economy is rough, but bless the taqueros who keep it affordable and tasty.“

“Awesome food great price in cheap eats that’s good in HB“

“great eats cool people the beach within walking distance... what's not to love“

“Their food is OK, but their pollo asado (grilled chicken) on the weekends? What a banger. Im giving 5 starts ONLY because of the freaking chicken!!

Good price for a whole chicken, and if you talk to the right staff, they hook you up with little extras. Their tacos and/burritos might be great for some, for me are OK at best. But Their weekend's pollo asado? Pretty damn good. Sometimes it could be more juicy, but the flavor is always there.“
