“I visited Adam's Tacos tonight (formerly Tacos Manuel) to pick up tacos for the family and had a great experience. Adam was very friendly and gave me some recommendations to bring home. We had the carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, cabeza, and lengua tacos. Everything had great flavor - our favorite was the carne asada. We loved the grilled onions! Not sure how they're seasoned, but they were good! Also, the prices were very reasonable. My experience with food trucks has been that they are generally overpriced. Not the case at Adam's Tacos. We fed our family of 5 under $40 which is not very common these days. If you're looking for good tacos in the area, I'd recommend you give this place a shot.“

“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!!“

“This is one of my favorite taco spots in Santa Ana. The tacos are soo good. Their salsas are delicious.

They have a nice assortment of drinks along with a nice selection of meats. Their meats are well cooked and seasoned so deliciously.

I can only eat chicken and am often disappointed with chicken tacos since they often lack flavor or are cooked poorly but this place is far from a disappointment. I love coming here time and time again.

There aren't any tables just chairs to sit at. You can also order your plate to go. You can also call to place your order in advance.“

“we are from Alaska so we maybe fresh fish snobs... but this was absolutely delish, fast, and priced great. highly recommend so glad we stumbled upon ot!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“The best food in Orange County“

“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 🤤🤤“

“The best food in Orange County“

“there food is really good especially there keto tacos...people you should try and eat there food here I promise you that you kept regret it“

“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 😊“

“I'm blown away by this taco truck! The tacos taste just like they do at the street vendors down in Mexico. Gold standard, even the limes and radishes were fresh and sweet. We tried birria, asada, quesabirria, and al pastor. The asada and (plain) birria were our favorites, but everything was delicious and reasonably priced. We're looking forward to coming back!“

“muy ricos“

“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 ? ❤️“

“Best food venue in Central Orange County.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Came for my moms birthday 🎂. The atmosphere was amazing. The food was delicious. The coffee ☕️ has the perfect amount of canela. They gave my mom a complimentary flan for her birthday and played las mananitas over the speaker. Service was timely. Definitely recommend. You must try. 😁“

“Great vibe Great drinks, the coconut margarita was to die for!! We got rib eye tacos and this yummy shrimp dish with cilantro and garlic with fresh bread!! So good Big screen tv with game on . Great service too. Highly recommended. We had reservations and walking distance to Yost“

“Had the best Birria de chivo. Chivo can me hard to find these tacos were amazing. Just a simple whole in the wall with great food I will be back!“

“muy ricos“

“I came to this place cuz it was one of the only places open late and also because they accepted debit and that's all I had I came here and there was a few people however I was helped right away and it only took them about five minutes to give me my food I ordered tacos the meat was delicious I highly recommend I will be coming here soon and also the prices are pretty cheap tacos for most meats are only $1.50“

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

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“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!“

“Good food. I've been here many times and keep on coming back. The burrito with cheese and avocado is delicious. Food is a bit pricey but I'm willing to pay for it because it's good. The salsas go really well with the food and the burritos are pretty decent size.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here since I was little. When I am in the area and in the mood for a burrito, el Triunfo is my go to place. The portions are great. All food is flavorful. I love that a combo plate or quesadilla comes with lettuce, and tomato! Add guac 🥑 for an added fee. I’ve had tacos, quesadillas, and lengua burrito 🌯 it’s amazing. Yum. Food has never disappointed me. Highly recommend.

This establishment takes card, sometimes only cash, which is an inconvenience. So be prepared.

Mi taqueria favorita. De mi casa, aveces manejo 35 minutos cuando se me antoja un burrito. Vale la pena“
