“Excelente servicio y muy buen sabor! 👌🏾🌮🌯“

“I am surprised to not see more people whenever I go eat here, as well as more reviews. I have eaten at this location 4x now and the taste and service has been consistent. They have a good variety of meats and options to choose from. Best part is that they have delicious tacos for only $1! They are small tacos with 2 tortillas, but they are topped well and the salsas do not disappoint. I like the touch of the added chopped cabbage on the taco. I definitely suggest you give this truck a try. $1 tacos everyday!“

“Attention all Final Fantasy 14 fans: This place serves the Xibruq Pibil from the Dawntrails story quests! Its real name is Cochinita Pibil and it's great. You can experience what Koana & Wuk Lamat had here! Taco Tuesdays are $2.50/taco.

Parking: You pay by phone or app“

“Stopped by tonight after a gala and enjoyed their quesobirrio pizza, variety of tacos such as pork belly and pastor, and asada waffle fries. Huge portions on the fries and the pizza was probably a average medium. I had the pork belly which was flavorful and delicious. I'm super picky on my pastor, so these weren't my favorite, though they were very good. The waffle fries were wonderfully crispy. My favorite was the pizza. It was crispy, flavorful, and freaking delicious. They're open until 11 pm and when we left there was a decent group of people waiting. The chef said that if there's a line they keep serving. Now, that's dedication. They also own the barber shop, so maybe check that out if you need a cut. I'll be back for sure. The food was on point and their customer service was fantastic. Seriously nice dudes. Thanks so much!“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“Bomb tacos tortas burritos sopes lots of other foods a variety of meats great prices fast service the salsa is delicious all of them are spicy with lots of flavor . Cilantro lemons radishes include in every order . $8 a torta is overly expensive though. Everything else is a good deal .“

“Very flavorful tacos. The seasoning was elite and the tortilla was phenomenal. The meat itself was slightly dry. The portion size is about what you’d expect for $2. The only issue I had with the service was that they did not do a good job of labeling the packages for the other guests in my party.“

“Super recommended, better than the tacos bravos, the tripe is well browned with the whole pieces (not ground), the chorizo ​​is very delicious and the mulitas are not to mention well browned and not at all greasy when biting like in other places, 10 out of 10 ??“

“Been coming here for years since i was a little girl where they first began on the corner off civic center & fairview , now located on Bristol & first street behind a shopping center , it’s amazing how i got close to the owner as now knows my husband and I and the lovely ladys as well , they already know us by the usual we always get !! Which are the Street Hot Dogs as we toss in some green salsa and it hits the spot !! Especially homemade avena for the cold weather!! Of course we have tried the rest of the menu and it doesn’t disappoints!!“

“The best food in Orange County“

“In my opinion, the best taco truck in Santa Ana. Taco meat is never dry or lacking flavor, salsas are dynamite, and they're tortillas are always crunchy and soft at the same time if that makes sense, if it doesn't, then find out by trying this amazing mobile establishment. I've been here several times and I haven't gotten sick once, and I have a delicate stomach due to ulcers.“

“toda la comida muy rica excelente servicio amabilidad muy buen precio en comparaciones de otro lugar los tacos de asada muy ricos“

“Buen servicio, la comida esta sabrosa y los precios están muy bien. Buen lugar para comer mariscos. Tacos gobernador, tostada de ceviche y empanadas de camarón“

“Love these tacos! My husband doesn’t eat carne asada anywhere but he tried it here in tacos and he loves it. We stop by after our Disney days and it’s always so good 😊“

“Been to la Fortuna a couple times and it does not dissapoint. I normally go late at night after work and it hits the spot. They have a variety of meats to choose from and I've tried them all. I like that I'm allowed to have an open tab "cuenta abierta" and keep on ordering tacos. I would say my favorite meats are : cesina, cabeza, asada, suadero, and tripa. I love all their salsas too, they have two greens and one red.(the best is the light green salsa). These tacos melt in your mouth and are the perfect bite size. Give them a try.“

“The best tacos in Santa Ana !!!! They are delicious and the salsas are to die for !! And of course you can’t forget Los frijolitos 🤤🤤“

“El menudo tamales tortas de milanes exente carne muy buena atención“

“I didn't think anything was open and then I came across a dream come true which was birria tacos. I ordered 3 tacos and tried to stop myself from ordering more. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants authentic Mexican food.“

“Holy smokes by far the best tacos I ever had! The flavor was sooooo deep! I never had cabases (head) before and my mind was blown of how GOOOD IT WAS! I also got al pastor and chorizo which was just as yummy! And the horochata they made was sooo unique had a flavor of Carmel but it wasn't! My friend who's Mexican showed me this place and I Thank God because wow felt like i was in Mexico eating it! Highly recommended this place to all those who loves tacos!“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“These guys are terrific. I found them by accident a few months ago and now I return whenever I'm in the area. Stop and get some great Mexican food you will not regret it.“

“La gente es muy agradable y la comida es muy buena. Me gusta comer los tacos y pichangas.“

“The food is quite good, and the prices are reasonable.The staff was helpful as well.Not a fancy place at all inside, but their customers were friendly as well as the many families of people that came thru while I sat and ate my food,All five types of tacos I ordered were flavorful. I especially liked the Al Pastor tacos.I have been here twice, many years apart, and will be returning in the near future.Thanks for the good experience, (and food), on my way home.“

“The best food in Orange County“

“They recommended this restaurant and I want to let everyone know that this place makes the Menudo, the Birria, the Mole, etc., etc. Well, I am very impressed with such delicious food that I have here in this former place called "El Jacalito" I recommend it to you, the people who served my son and I really liked all the food and the service and the owner, those people who work for him are worth it GOLD IN ITS WEIGHT they cook well and very delicious, THANK YOU AND BLESSINGS ? ❤️“

“Leo’s crispy chicken tacos are my absolute FAVORITE!!! All his food is Delicious! I definitely look forward to lunchtime! 😋“

“Muy buen servicio excelente comida me encanta la birria, el menudo, el caldo costeño, las tortillas hechas a mano siempre que voy tengo problema en decir que ordenar porque todo está delicioso recomendado al 100 💯“

“Found this place out of the blue and totally worth it! I've tried their quesabirrias, tacos, tamales, and champurado. All of it was super delicious! If you want a nice little place to stop the prices are not bad for the quality of food! Plus they have a nice little seating spot if you dont want to eat in your car.“

“Delicious grilled shrimp tacos with cabbage and plain diced tomatoes - the shrimp was prepared perfectly. My husband had grilled chicken breast tacos which were also delicious. Wish list: sliced plain avocado or avocado crema for the topping on the shrimp taco! 😊🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love these tacos! My husband doesn’t eat carne asada anywhere but he tried it here in tacos and he loves it. We stop by after our Disney days and it’s always so good 😊“

“Delicious Mexican cuisine on 4th Street in Santa Ana, across from the Reagan Federal Building. Hosts and servers are great -- especially Daniel and Vanessa. Shortrib tacos are amazing. Super weekday lunch specials $11 a plate, with many choices. The asada quesadilla and chicken taquitos are tasty and filling. Fully recommend.“

“It's a food cart stationed in front of the grand market. I had ordered chicken barito and the taste was good. The young boy spoke fluent English but the person making didn't but both of them were very present. I will do takeout again from them.“

“Food is bomb highly recommend it.“

“Al Pastor tacos are hands down the best. Came out piping hot, steam and all....flavor was perfect and the 3 homemade salsas they have are bomb. Jalapeno, red and some orange one. So dang good. Don't pass them up... I'll be having these on a weekly basis for sure.“

“As a parent with two sons attending, you may appreciate the dedicated faculty and emphasis on character development. However, like any school, experiences can vary, with some families noting concerns about administration and school culture. Overall, Mater Dei provides a well-rounded education, especially for students who thrive in a structured, high-achievement environment.“

“It's delicious little planets like this that keep me 2 sizes over my ideal waistline. The food is fresh, prepared in an open kitchen, and is really, really fricken good. When I say it's good I mean that the food is a master class in the foundational flavor profiles of Mexican-American cooking. It's like watching Tiger Woods' flawless swing at the Master's, Kobe Bryant under pressure, gracefully sinking a three from way outside, or watching Kelly Slater threading a big, dark, and scary Teahupo'o cavern - It's beautiful.
Ordering in English is an option which is nice because my Spanish es "muy informal" (putting it politely). The staff is courteous and friendly. Do yourself a favor and eat her next time your hungry. Chances are, you'll see me :)!“

“I’ve stopped by a few times and decided it was time to drop a review.

Pros:
Fast, plenty of parking, takes debit/credit, plenty of meat on the tacos, good flavor, al pastor cooked on a trompo

Cons:
Can get busy on random days, charge a 3% fee to use debit/credit, customers hog the condiments (how much damn salsa do you need!)

The al pastor tacos at Bravos Tacos are really good. I’ve tried the carne asada and they are also good, but prefer al pastor.

Their aguas frescas are good too, not too sweet and taste homemade, but not sure if they are.

Service is fast, so as long as you aren’t ordering for 8 people, you should expect your order to be ready in 4-5 minutes.

Quesadillas are also big, so if you plan on ordering one, just know that it is a huge flour tortilla.“
