25 Best Mexican Restaurants in Placentia

“As soon as I pulled up to this place I said “Oh yeah, this is going to be good”. And then as soon as I walked in I said “I’m so excited”. I can spot a good Mexican restaurant when I see one.

“I just turned 62 and I wanted real Mexican food 🥘 I live in Vegas so I invited my family members and we ate lots of awesome salsa and chips !!!!!! Beans guacamole 🥑 enchiladas chiles rellenos and the famous Molcajete ohhh wow the price $$$ was right food 🍱 ❤️ every one was amazingly surprised with the great service and variety of foods were huge we took home half of our meals“

“This place is stlithe same as it was from my childhood visits in the 80s. My dad used to know the original owner and I visited frequently. In June 2026, I brought my family for a 'snack' and for my own nostalgia. It got to say the food is till delicious, the carnitas #1! The soles are my all time favorites here, nobody else makes them the way Q Tortas does. And the torta we bought was just a beautiful presentation and they still wrap it in aluminum foil like they always have. Oh and the beans? Just like homemade. Can't say enough of this place and my family truly loved it.

Q Tortas thanks for staying true to the original formula. Don't ever change. Keep that red salsa the same too. I'll stop by every time I visit from Las Vegas.“

“Wow! I’ve lived in this area for over 4 years now, have driven by many times but never stopped by. Tonight I decided to order out for myself & was thoroughly impressed. Like for $25 or less I got a huge meal.. Tamale, crispy chicken tacos, 2 chicken taquitos, which came with a big portion of guac & 2 big salsas. Rice n beans were on point ngl they were bomb. Overall great experience, waited less than 10 mins too. My score 9.1 for a great Mexican food restaurant in the area 🌮“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“Food is consistently good, service is great, had the chicken kebab and Barramundi plate, both were excellent. Will be back!“

“The staff is so friendly and the food is fresh and the portions are generous. Finally a restaurant who puts their customers first!“

“Awesome place! I really loved the atmosphere and the DJ was on point with the music... Yes they had an DJ when we were there! Don't know if this a weekend thing but we were lucky. Food was really good and the service was excellent! Will be coming back. The only thing I personally recommend is for the mango blended margaritas to actually look and taste like mango. I was expecting a yellow looking one but it was pale and it tasted like a regular margarita. Other than that everything was good.“

The dishes are flavorful, fresh, and truly made with love—from the tacos to the enchiladas, everything is delicious.

“this was some of the most delicious food I've ever had. Definitely going to be my place when in Placentia. I highly recommend that you give them a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“This is really good for diner food! I've been there a few times and all the food comes in big portions and is always cooked with time and effort 👌 I haven't received any undercooked fries from them so that is a big plus for me.“

“Went for breakfast for the first time and the food was good. I ordered the chilaquiles, they had good flavor and a nice presentation, I just wish they were a little crisper. My wife got the birria tacos, she said they were good and my son got the french toast with ice cream, you know I had to sneak a bite. The hash brown that I ordered was Perfect! It had the perfect crispness, I wish I would have ordered two. The place itself has some cool art all over the walls, it was a little too quiet but it was because they're wifi was down. Service was great, I'll definitely come here again.“

“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.“

“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!! 💯“

“I work in the same shopping center I forgot my lunch today and went to del taco for the savior and I was greeted by Lukas who was very nice and even helped me with my order very nice dude it was busy too and he just was doing his job HARD worker

“Simple and clean. Self serve kiosk made the experience fast and easy.

Staff was very attentive to keeping the location clean! Nice to see in a fast food establishment.

Value is great for quantity of items included (Luxe Cravings Box).

Don't normally go to this chain but was pleasantly surprised.

Vegetarian options: There was one female employee that took great effort throughout our time there to maintain the cleanliness of the dining area. She was amazing 👏“
