“It’s Awesome and great place!“

“Great service, food and employees“

“Pancho's for more years than many of us have been alive!! So they have had more than enough time to perfect their recipes and hand them down to whoever comes along into the kitchen to cook them up next! The vibe is great! With big big puck and roll dark red and green booths for two or four or more. And Mary was decor to go with it-- including some plaster parrots up on perches! Their food is terrific. The vibe is marvelous and a throwback to another era! If you're not looking for fancy schmancy-- but solid, tasty, more traditional Mexican meals.. this is the place for you! It's definitely the place for me!“

“It s been a while since I dine here! It was my friend birthday which I mention to the waiter ,but not observed,not even a scoop of ice cream .
The interior decor is superb love vibe ,but the service was not up to par,he head an off day ,not engaging at all.
The food was decent,price was a little on the higher side. Enjoy everything except the mole app.“

“My favorite place to go eat when i visit my family in Santa Ana. I usually get their Fish platter. With black beans, rice, and Ensenada style fish. Ive tried their grilled fish which is actually subpar, definitely their worse style. Blackened is good, but Ensenada style is where its at.“

“If you take nothing else away from this review, just know that these are the best tortillas in town. All hand-made and it has this amazing chewy and soft consistency…almost akin to (dare I say) mochi. I don’t generally care what tortillas my tacos are served with but that’s what I noticed most.

The carne asada and adobada were well-seasoned/marinated and flavorful. Their salsa roja was delicious and they even have an amazing habanero salsa to give you that extra kick!

Lastly, service is always great. I usually come Sunday nights and the gentlemen there is always serving with a smile. Orange County has countless options for tacos, but in our embarrassment of riches, sometimes you just don’t want to go “far” to get them. This is one of the few taco shops in the 2-3 mile radius (😂) canyon area of North Orange/Anaheim Hills border and I believe it is one of the best kept secrets. It is my new regular taco spot!“

“Good food good price. Highly recommend.“

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

“The Carne Asada Plate! Bomb!!“

“One of my favorite places in DTO! We've been coming here for +4 years even before my daughter was born and now she loved it too. Love their happy hour deals and even regular days. Lots of specials and the staff are so kind and attentive. Lorenzo who always serves us he's so kind!! The food is also bomb. Great place to hang out with friends family or even solo. Highly recommend ♡“

Friendly staff, fast service, clean restaurant. 4 high tops, 3 tables for 4/6. Great soundtrack. Taco Tuesday street tacos. Reasonable prices.“

“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.“

“everything from the food to the service“

“Wow, great tacos! That was my first thought when I bit into my Carnitas taco.

I wanted something from a local family run Place and this fit the bill. The Carnitas taco were tinged with lime which made it amazing. Although the tacos are small they are stuffed with meat, very filling. I also got the Al pastor and the barbacoa. I tasted the other two but only ate one. The barbacoa was OK but it wasn’t my favorite, but very juicy. ($2.75/taco cash)

I loved that they gave me a bag of chips in my to go order. The salsa is a fresh chunky salsa and quite spicy. I don’t like the pureed type salsa because I don’t think it usually has a good flavor. I was happy with the fresh chunky style they serve.

This is definitely a hole in the wall. It was very busy at lunchtime. Coming up to the building it looks quite grubby but I pushed past that knowing that I had great ratings. I’m glad I did. It’s definitely not an updated, well kept restaurant but the food was great. I met a family who said they’ve been coming for years and love the food.

If you want mom and pop Place it seems to be very popular with good prices, check this place out.“

“Muy buena la. Comida y el servicio 👍“

“THey have great food. Friendly staff Quick service and a clean pleasant eating environment.“

“Check out the Salmon Tropicale on Fridays!“

“Great service, food and employees“

“Super fresh Seafood 🦞 🐟 makes for elegantly prepared plates over-loading w/ shrimp or lobster or something else just as tasty. Sopes are amazing. Great menudo...lol. The dishes are served in such an incredible layout no matter the dish. Nice variety of beverages & You will think Ur on 1 of the 7 seas. Very authentic. Nice patio. Well maintained. Nice place to chill out and just hav a slow going delicious meal. ADA Compliance is good. Staff is outstanding. They aim 2 please and usually hit bullseye 🎯 1st try. Have.heard that the Bllood Mary's r rather good. Especially after 3 or 4. Awesome Clamato type drink as well. Beer selection is lean but mean. Actually hav larger selection than thought. That cuz they hav really hard to find beers in USA here. Everything fits to make heck Of a Meal.
We enjoy most everything but 1 in our family is allergic 2 avocados 🥑. Mor 4 Us. But they always go out of way to keep dish and prep in kitchen away from anything potentially dangerous. That's a whole nother level of quality service!
Was really cool when they showed off just how fast they make the Seven Sea's taste so delicious in kitchen area. They r blade masters. Amazing amount of seafood prepared any way You wish. Suggest menu items tho. Mite not seem like it but lots of catering and special occasions have been recommended and totally enjoyable. The presentation is artful. Fyi- This is 1 of last restaurants 2 survive last several decades in Old Town Orange 🍊...cuz has no competition at their level of offerings, quality, intuitive Staff, Super Chefs, & Happy management. It's nice having a wonderful tasting meal run smoothly that helps enhance GoodVibes
...cuz of the Good Peeps that always hav a smile and willingness to help. We etryN the specials and start w/ giant shrimp 🦐 cocktails for each of us & them share a few off menu. Ingredients so fresh it looks like just came off boat. Extremely well known for both seafood and diff kinds of soup. Large servings make already fair price much more of value. Plus it tastes so darn good 👍
Highly Recommend 🤙“

“The tacos freshly made with some delicious salsas they also give you chips, pickle carrots and friendly service.❤“

“Wonderful place to go to celebrate! We thoroughly enjoyed our special day here celebrating my mom's birthday
The service and food was excellent. I recommend the house salad, very fresh and delicious. I also had a chicken tostada, also yummy. They even sang happy Birthday to my mom. Exceptional service.“

“The food was great. Atmosphere is great and chill. The workers are so nice. I recommend it for people who are going to Disney land or California adventures or even if you just live in the area it’s a great place to just have a nice breakfast and enjoy yourself.In total it is just a really great place with great people. ☕🥞🧇👍 ( came on not a really busy day so they were able to go fast so I don’t have to much of a idea how it would be when packed)“

“Nice! Good service and good guacamole 🥑😉“

“I love the salsa! The young lady was so nice and the food was delicious“

“show up 😁“

“One of the best tamales I ever had.“

“Had an issue with ants on the wall and table. Food was pretty good. Beans were a bit spicy for my kids but I enjoyed everything. Siete Mares had no crab so my daughter was kind of pissed off. Pulpo tostada and very good camerones a la diabla. I'll be back for a second review at some point.“

“A wonderful hidden gem. I had seen the signs and flags out for this place countless times but never stopped in as this shopping center isn't the easiest to access and definitely needs some work on the outside. However, on the inside, the restaurant is clean, bright, and everyone was super friendly. Went with the two taco combo with fried shrimp and fried fish and both were ridiculously good. The free chips were a nice addition and all the salsas at the salsa bar were very tasty - the one chili oil salsa is especially dangerous! :) Will definitely be going back quite often.“

“Excellent service and food!! Great breakfast meal!!!“

“Buena comida buena atención y excelente servicio“

“Me and coworker were looking for a decent Mexican restaurant for some tacos in this area, not too far from work bc traffic … But glad we tried this place. Carnitas taco was my favorite. The fact that I could eat that alone without any salsas, delicious. You can actually taste the meat for what it is. Very friendly staff. Coworker got carnitas burrito and loved it.“

“They also have large Mexican candy selection. The candy is cash only and funds get donated!“

“I really love Rodrigo's Mexican Grill in Buena Park, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🍽“

“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!!“

“The burrito was excellent I got the carne asada it was way better than the place by BevMo that I used to go to you and $5 cheaper 🤠 kind of sucks didn't have a lid for my soda And they could have made the eating area a little brighter . But when you make a burrito this good who cares what you look like 🤷“

“Asked my boyfriend’s daughter for recommendations while we were at Disney & she told us to come here, food is DELICIOUS!!! Everyone working was great! Didn’t get the girls name up front, but I love her! Will be adding this to my list every time I come down. 🤤🤤“

“el caldo de chivo estuvo delicioso 😋😋😋“

“Drove up from San Diego! Worth it!“

“Marry Christmas & a happy new year 🎊🎈🥂to everyone.“

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

“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“

“EXCELLENT CABEZA AND CHORIZO....have a home-made flavor and mouthfeel that distinguishes this place from other taquerias. I can also recommend them for catering. Their quesadillas & tacos at parties are the absolute best...off the chain. A+++“

“Love this very authentic spot in Orange. They have raised their prices a bit more than similar genres’ industry standard, even through all the Joe Biden inflation, but they are very nice, welcoming and a great spot for some tacos and beer on a warm day.“

“Best food casera in town! Yo lo recomiendo. Y seguire viniendo.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Friendly staff and delicious authentic Mexican food!“

“Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Old Towne Orange, California, is a healthy haven that hits the spot! Their menu is packed with good-for-you options that don't skimp on flavor. We love daily and weekly specials. Especially in summer 🌞 time. 2025 has been a tasty year so far:))
Such a wonderful location.... peaceful and delicious.
Fish tacos and black beans original dish.
But the Banzai Bowl - it's a mountain of fresh veggies and brown rice topped with grilled fish or tofu is super popular for those with any dietary issues. Their fish tacos are legendary, and the Classic is my go-to. The fish is always perfectly grilled, and the cabbage mix adds a nice crunch. Sigg the pico de Gallo & salsa station near soda fountain machine.

Their drinks are top-notch too! They have a very unique ice packed chest into counter next to cash register with Mexican beers and sodas...has water, teas And other options. But the real star is the patio. It's huge, open, and surrounded by trees, like a cathedral of sunshine. There's always a nice breeze, and it's the perfect place to chill after a meal.

The staff are always super friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure everyone feels welcome, especially people with disabilities. I've seen them help people with wheelchairs and walkers, and they always do it with a smile. I'm 1 of them:))

And the location is right in the heart of Old Towne Orange, in a beautiful plaza that's a National Landmark. You can see all kinds of historic buildings & Landmarks from the patio including Plaza ⛲ Park 🏞️ & Orange 🍊 Square ⏺️ .
Chill place to be. So if you're looking for healthy, delicious food in a beautiful setting, Wahoo's Old Towne Orange 🍊 is the place to go!“
