50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Orange

“Gabbi's is an Orange Circle staple and never disappoints. House marg is solid. Juanita Bonita was tasty and fun, not overly sweet. Enjoyed our cocktails with chips, salsa and guac. Love their salsa. I ordered the meat tacos-I cannot remember their menu name but they were loaded and very flavorful. My fav item of the meal was the shrimp enchilada (my husband ordered). Perfectly cooked shrimp. Creamy sauce. 10/10“

“Todo está bien sabroso ,nos quedamos satisfechos,lo súper recomendamos a todos ,vengan a probar la rica comida Mexicana“

“Really enjoy this location, the servers are wonderful. The food and drink is always wonderful. I will keep coming here until I can't do it anymore. 😉 Try the fajitas & the Chili Verda, and Cadillac to drink along with all of this excellent food. 👍“

“Great service, food and employees“

“It’s Awesome and great place!“

“Such a great hole in the wall place to have amazing food. I went for the first time about a week ago, I’ve thought about their shrimp tacos & shrimp tostadas everyday since & I’ve gone back since… might go again today. 🤤Miguel is very friendly & his family is so sweet too. I love supporting small businesses especially when they remind you of home & have AMAZING food. Chill vibes in there, playing good music & cozy seating. 10/10 would recommend for some comfort food. I also took this pic half eaten & in a rush lol (I forgot to take one before) :)“

“It’s all about the food! Quality ingredients cooked perfectly! The best around.“

“Best shrimp tacos with rice and beans in all of SoCal.

Yeah I said it. Go try them if you think I am exaggerating. I have seen lines upon lines of people trying to get a seat at the Bristol location when there are like 1000 other places to get Mexican food in the area. Socal people are picky with their Mexican food and the market has already shown that this is the place.

Just go. Stop reading and eat their rice and beans. They could sell only that and I would still go. Yeah. Ponder that.“

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. I’ve been eating at Miguel’s for many years. Found them when I lived in Corona. Now I’m back in LA and I drive over 30 miles for the Tacos. Enjoy it every time. Never disappointed. Nice outing with the kids during the pandemic.“

“I am a Chapman university alumni and I cannot believe in all my 4 years attending that I never came to Jalapenos . . . what a shame!! I would’ve been here ALL THE TIME!

Their loaded carnitas nachos and wet burrito were standouts to us. They also do a heck of a soft ceviche taco. And when one margarita just won’t do… why not add a michelada, a paloma, a mule, a sangria, and a mojito to the mix? We were so happy to see they offer all these drinks here!!

Seriously though: whether you’re here for the endless drink options or the fresh, mouthwatering dishes, Jalapeños really does have that authentic flair that keeps you coming back. Everything tastes SO good — and the service is excellent! They truly want you to enjoy your experience beginning to end.“

Parking: You can park on the street.“

“I’ve been going to Wahoos since the original one on 19th St in Costa Mesa. I love their fresh fish and it’s even better with the other plant based options. They have the best salsa and I always order extra for my meal. I also love the fact that you can get black beans and brown rice.“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“Ratheesh, our experience having you cater our wedding was 10000000000/10. I can't tell you how much I appreciated you working with us to make a vegan Mexican menu that our guests all absolutely loved. You made it so classy (the mango, the quality of the food, the presentation, everything) I was blown away. It was everything I hoped for and more. Thank you for everything and hope we get to work with you again!!“

“My husband and I came to eat here and loved the food and service! The music and the environment was very pleasant. We will definitely be coming here again. 😊“

“Reminds me of home. A lady helped me and she was so sweet. I didn’t see it on their menu but i saw her checking on something while i made up my mind. It was pork in chile verde my favorite! I asked her if i can get that she said of course and brought it to my table. It felt like a home cooked meal. I will come again when I’m in the area.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food! You can find anything from tacos to home-style dishes, or seafood.

Spacious space- we always find a table here without waiting.

Great customer service.

At times, expect to wait for your food, specially on weekends.“

“Atmosphere:
While I know that the kitchen noise level can't be avoided, that would be my only negative issue, but that's my issue with most restaurants and that includes music, and TV noise. This restaurant doesn't have any TV's thank goodness.

Service: What I did enjoy was watching the amazing teamwork. It appeared to me that there weren't any ego's involved and quality service was their only goal.

Food: My food was cooked to perfection, AND, I didn't have ask for salt and pepper because it's part of the table setup. With that said, why can restaurants trust the customers with place settings, and other condiments, but salt pepper are protected, (maybe behind a locked location requiring someone to unlock it before being allowed to set at the table).

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!“

“At some point, a stale smell filled the restaurant. I realized it was the smell of unwashed rags. The stench lingered throughout my meal, ruining my breakfast. I couldn’t stand it and moved to another seat, but the unpleasant odor persisted. The food was average, and the prices were cheap.“

“Excelente servicio y digno de abmirar la atencion al cliente ... Gracias !!!“

“Ok so I went to this taco place i was craving tacos so bad . so I stopped to see how the tacos were here at taqueria mexico ...well I should have took a picture of my plate it was shaking when I was done I think my fork went through the plate as well , you know how you try to scrape all the meat with cilantro and onions ....and don't act like you don't do that ...but anyways grabbed the al pastor, and chorizo and of course the horchata it's just not complete unless you have the drink...loved it loved it loved it ....can't wait for the weekend to try their menudo....shot out to my hard working Mexican people ..siempre unidos....viva mexico 🇲🇽 can't take that from us........“

“If you saw it from the outside, you probably wouldn't think you could buy prepared food here. But it's legit, the enchiladas are probably some the best flavor wise I've eaten. Red or green sauce always good. Tortas are pinpoint and simple. Street tacos are good, just ask for extra cilantro and onions. Salsa is key...very good“

“best chorizo in town..try it and you will love it😋“

“Nice! Good service and good guacamole 🥑😉“

“Great food, great service!“

“Absolutely delightful family-owned, taqueria chain! We were looking for an authentic taqueria that was open 24 hours and we found it! We started with chorizo and egg burritos that are offered in the morning. And we grabbed two carne asada burritos for our hike in the mountains. The staff were incredibly accommodating. 😁“

“Fuimos a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi hermana fue mi primero vez que llegue ahí y nos encanto un lugar increíble desde meseros asta ma comida 💯 recomendó y el ambiente que hacen no se diga esta muy bonito 🤩“
