Carne asada fríes, was ok but the meat was nasty. Full of fat and nerves. For $19.00 never going.

Ordered through uber eats late at night and not sure if it’s because we ordered at midnight or not but the tacos were extremely dry and the meat was just super dry, I can’t even explain it but you can see from pictures. The tamales, however, absolutely incredible!

Impressive and delicious TJ style tacos. The tortillas are authentic and the salsa is spicy enough to impressive a chile lover like myself. The asada is also respectable but nothing transformational. I've tried countless taco spots across Santa Ana and this is top 5

I'm leaving this review to let people know that this place is vegan friendly. They have a vegan burrito and will modify items as needed.

Small place with only 7 outdoor tables and 6 bar stools at a counter. No indoor seating. Customer service was very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable but a little more than some places. I ordered a breakfast burrito which had eggs, sausage, potatoes and cheese in it. The size was huge. I tried the Pork and Pollo tamales. They were wide but short. The masa was moist and tasted good. The meat is the pork was more flavorful but both were yummy. My hubby got a lengua Street Taco and used the 15% off Yelp check-in coupon for a 2 chicken enchilada combination plate substituting rice for extra lettuce. He said the lengua was plain and lacked flavor. However the chicken enchiladas did have good flavor and he appreciated that they allowed him to trade the rice for lettuce. Their selection of sauces is great. They have mild, green salsa, avocado salsa, red salsa and an orange looking salsa. Their carrots with peppers were good and the limes were wrapped well and were juicy.
Wish they had fans outside to help keep the flies from bugging us but other than that, it was a good

Stopped by this place before to check it out and try it for the first time. I am glad to have given this place a shot out of pure hunger. Ordered a burrito and some carne asada taquitos and I was not disappointed at all with what I got. The taquitos were all sauced up nicely and the burrito was so sizeable and girthy that I thought I'd be full before eating it all. Both filled nicely to the brim with meat and some extra fillings and very juicy with so much flavor packed in it at the perfect amount where it isn't overbearing. I filled up quick with these and I'm glad to have tried this place out of the blue. Worth going a second time if I have the time and hunger for this place again at some point. Overall, good spot for a good fill of Mexican food.
