25 Best Mexican Restaurants in Placentia

“My wife and I enjoyed our fourth visit to Tlaquepaque Restaurant, this time for Sunday brunch! The food was delicious, and the live singing in Spanish was wonderful. Geraldine is a great server and always takes excellent care of us. We also met the owner, Rosalina, who was so kind and attentive to her guests. Great food, music, and hospitality, we’ll definitely be back!

“I'M GIVING THIS RESTAURANT A REVIEW FROM WHEN I WENT TO VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL AND LIVED ON LA JOLLA ST. LAST TIME I ATE HERE WAS WHEN I WAS 18-19. BUT I'M TELLING YOU THEIR FOOD WAS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN THAT AREA. AND IF THEIR STILL IN BUSINESS AND IN THE SAME BUILDING THEY ARE STILL THE BEST AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER“

“A wonderful and welcoming restaurant with fantastic food and service. Highly recommended.“

“Service OK good food but small place other than that 5 stars“

“Had a great experience at the whole enchilada. Very kind and understanding. Customer service. Prices are a little high. But expected for the area that it's in. I'm from the IE, so prices are a little different. It was really neat to hear the birthday songs in Spanish.“

“El pollo was delicious. Finger licking good.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So Delicious!

We’re from out of state and decided to try this spot through DoorDash — and wow, it did not disappoint! We ordered tacos and sopes, and everything was bursting with flavor. The salsas were a standout — so fresh, spicy, and full of depth. You can tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. Truly one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this place!“

“ttodo comida y setvicio exelente“

“Cocina Azteca Grill is such a special spot for me and my husband! Every time we go, we’re welcomed with warm smiles and the comforting aroma of authentic Mexican food. The dishes are flavorful, fresh, and truly made with love—from the tacos to the enchiladas, everything is delicious. The cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for a dinner date, and the staff always makes us feel right at home. It’s one of those places where good food and good company come together perfectly. Highly recommend for couples and families who want to enjoy real Mexican flavors“

“Awesome tacos, the salsa verde was amazinb“

“In 2026, I can't imagine there's a lot of other restaurants with the large portion sizes at the low price point that this restaurant has. All while maintaining high quality, delicious food. You will not walk away hungry. I will absolutely be coming back!“

“Madres Brunch has a cute vibe with a menu full of brunch items. It's neat how they had drink flights where you can try a variety of flavors, including coffee, latte, mimosa, and margarita flights. Our server was also nice and friendly.

* Chilaquiles Verdes 4/5 + Steak 3.5/5 - The chilaquiles came with fried tortillas soaked in green sauce and topped with cheese, sour cream (we got this on the side), avocado, red onion, and an egg. It rests on a bed of beans which we opted not to get. The chilaquiles were pretty good. We got the steak addon which was okay, not very flavorful.

* Pistachio Waffles 4/5 - This came with 2 pistachio waffles, pistachio ice cream, strawberry and caramel syrup, condensed milk, and topped with real pistachios. It was a nice to try something different. The waffle was good, but it didn't have a lot of pistachio flavor.

We also got drinks. Both the Strawberry Horchata and the Mazapan Latte were very good 5/5. The Mazapan tasted exactly like its namesake candy.“

“Watching the World Cup here. I had the Baja Fish tacos and they were perfect along with the Chipotle sauce. My wife had Chile Relleno and loved it as well. You have to enjoy your free chips with their salsa and add guacamole. Bomb.com lol“

“The best tacos in town!! 💯“

“Reasonably price. D, everything is high lately. But this place is maintained as steady decent price. And the staff are great as well. I enjoy this place because it's so conveniently located next to my house. The gas station and everything else that I need.“
