Not overly expensive AND great food, the staff was incredibly friendly, had parking options, and the food came out relatively quick for our party having 7 people! Definitely reccomend!

First time in Newport Beach, looking for a taco place for dinner. Wild Taco did NOT disappoint!!! The atmosphere, food, and house margarita…*chef’s kiss* Would absolutely come back!! Delicious

Really nice restaurant offering indoor/outdoor dining. We had a very enjoyable lunch. Staff was great and food was delicious 😋.
David Hall
Amazing food, it was lovely and fresh with perfect sized portions. Drew was an excellent server, he had great recommendations and went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after. We arrived close to closing but never felt any pressure from the staff to hurry etc. 10/10

I had been to the location in Laguna Beach, and had loved it. So, came here this time to try it out again.
Small spot with seats at the bar and few tables. The menu has different options but fairly easy to understand.
I got the taco combo and tried the carne asada, tri tip and pollo asado. I made some modifications so some extra ingredients were removed but it’s okay. The burrito was apparently really good.
All tacos were all good. I was confused by what was the big difference between tri tip and carne asada.
The counter was a bit sticky. The service was great.
Overall, it’s a great spot. The food is good for an okay price.

I had higher expectations for this place. Nachos were sub par. Chips were very hard, cheese was light and as a whole, chicken was very dry. Maybe next time I'll get something else from here. Friendly waitress.

Great tacos. Super service.

The Al pastor tacos were delicious! I wasn’t crazy about the ceviche, but my wife really liked it!

Ya so if the happy hour mentions tacos at least tell us they are the size of a quarter dollar if you see that's all I'm getting as a woman. I don't even know where they found such tiny 2 bite tortillas. I would've ordered something normal sized if i knew after that i was just over it and didn't want to wait any longer to order more. On top of that the meat was tough

Feels very Cabo authentic and food is very, very good. Could use a spruce up indoors but outdoor space is thriving on warm days. Parking was easy on a winter Sunday. Not sure what it's like when the Peninsula is hopping! Definitely going back.
The swordfish was surprisingly delicious. Great lunch spot

Something a little different for lunch while hanging out in Newport. The tacos were good. Even my taco loving but picky husband said they were good which is saying something. He had pulled pork. I got a mini salad with chicken which was good but not amazing. And it had a few random pieces of jalapeño which really got me since the rest wasnt spicy. We got chips guac and salsa as well. Good chips and guac was good. I thought the salsa was good except too spicy for me. But husband didnt like it much.

Moved here from San Antonio, TX. There seems to be a large disconnect between real tacos and crap tacos. Might as well have handed me a slice of bread with some ground beef in the middle and ketchup on top. Swing and a big miss on tacos, in my most humble opinion. Staff was lovely.

First time trying the cute little Mexican casual restaurant on balboa peninsula. Emma was our server and she was very helpful. She told us that this place is owned by Bear Flag that has a store next to it and is the location of the original bear flag. We ordered their nachos with carnitas, the red snapper skillet and their steak fajitas with a pint of cerveza. They were all amazing. Good size. I am a nachos affacinado and these nachos were awesome. Food 5, ambiance 5, service 5. Will visit again.
