“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! 👏 #☝️🌮“

“We had a fantastic experience at Tacos Los Cholos in Huntington Beach! We were looking for a quick dinner after a busy day, and this place absolutely delivered. The food came out fast, but nothing tasted rushed. Everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor.

We ordered both the asada and chicken tacos, and they were outstanding. The asada was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a great grilled flavor. The chicken was equally impressive—moist, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the fresh toppings. The tortillas were fresh, and every bite had the right balance of meat, salsa, onions, and cilantro.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a fun place to grab dinner with family or friends. Even though it was busy, the service moved quickly, and the staff kept everything organized. It’s easy to see why this place has such a great reputation.

If you’re in Huntington Beach and craving authentic tacos, Tacos Los Cholos is definitely worth the visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick meal or bringing a group, it’s an excellent choice. We’ll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, but the asada and chicken tacos have already set a very high standard!“

“todo está exquisito en especial el menudo“

“Todo super Delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Tried for the first time this gem of a restaurant for authentic Mexican cuisine here at downtown Santa Ana. We sat outside with our dog and we’re greeted by our server Vanessa, lovely lady that made us feel so welcome. She’s gregarious and amiable enough to accommodate our search for the right food on the menu. Started with the watermelon margarita with guacamole chips and salsa. For our main menu, we end up with their mole and the fish dish so tender and delicious. Overall the place is such a rare find and wouldn’t mind coming back here again.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Best customer service ever and the tacos was amazing just like big boy said the best tacos and we couldn’t get enough we had to get more tacos and she took very good care of us and I am a very big fan of big boy from strength cartel she made me feel very welcomed and took very good care of us we came all the way from Oklahoma City“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“The best tacos in Santa Ana !!!! They are delicious and the salsas are to die for !! And of course you can’t forget Los frijolitos 🤤🤤“

“Quite impressive, drove by here many many late nights or early evening and also saw at least a dozen folks here. Was in next door and had drinks so looking for some solid good late night foods. Went here and was behind 3 people but it move quite quickly. Typical taco food truck menu I would say but they do have 2 separate bars: one for the sauces and the other is for the veggies and they have plenty of it plus it well clean and well stocked up. Service is nice and friendly, not bad for waiting. Ordered a burrito ($11) with 1/2 marinated pork (which is quite good), and 1/2 with tongue (interesting, not bad but I wouldn’t do it again for the burrito, for taco - yes) w/o cheese & bean - basically meats w/ rice and everything else. The portion is quite HUGE, 2 people can finish w/ that for sure. Overall, it was very tasty burrito w/ a lot of condiments, she even gave me grilled onions with it l, which are sweet & delish. Glad that I decided to stop by to give it a try. Will definitely come back for more.“

“BEST FISH TACOS !!! And spicey salsas are sooo good !!“

“We had a great casual birthday gathering of 12 and Anna & Aubrey were awesome! You walk up to order food. Very pleasant atmosphere and TV screens. The Mexican pizza is loaded with beef and absolutely yummy!!! You must try this place! You will be back“

“Best food venue in Central Orange County.“
