Love this place, food is great - especially the Al pastor. Their rice is tasty and makes the burritos taste even better.

Saw city officials confiscate their things(I think? there were several pickup trucks with city logo and some people hoisting stuff on there) yesterday evening. I'm guessing someone reported them or smth? I wouldn't be surprised if they don't comeback at least for a while

Left the street dirty and smelly. Is the health code enforced here? Soon the streets and plants areas will be filled with dirty filthy waste and liquids.

Tried to come here after working a 10 hour shift, came at 10pm because it said they were open and they had already packed up and left. Waste of time, you’re gambling when you come because the time they say they’re open isn’t accurate AT ALL.

We’ve been here at least 20 times starting from the day they magically appeared at that lonely intersection. We often go for 2nd dinner or taco dessert, and are so happy to see the long lines because they deserve it. Our friends have been to the other taco stands in the area and say this one’s the best, while I haven’t bothered to try the others because their tacos are already perfect. I always get the carne asada and al pastor; my husband loves the suadero (brisket-ish).They are always there Friday through Sunday, usually on Wednesdays and Thursdays, almost never on Mondays, and sometimes on Tue. They recently moved in front of CVS, which is convenient for parking and to grab a drink while you’re waiting, though they still sometimes set up at the original location at the T-intersection.They only take cash and Zelle. Please go here so they never leave ?

This is my new favorite taco stand in OC and they are legit! I’m glad they’re pretty consistent about setting up nightly around the Tustin Ranch/Valencia intersection. There’s plenty of parking to pull off to and the food is FRESH! When you see the line you’ll understand why! My favorite is their Al pastor from the rotating spit and carne asada which is char grilled and super flavorful. Each taco is ~$2.50 but they are generous with loading up the meat. Other good options are their mulitas, burritos, quesadillas, and believe it or not Tortas are ?. Same with their horchata, great flavor and not watered down! I am particular to their avocado salsa since it pairs well w/ the Al pastor but they have a whole spread available of all the fixings.We’ve brought groups of friends here to try something different each time and you can either eat there at their stools/by your car or they pack it togo for you. Be aware it’s cash only and they sell out of items the later you go, as they close up by 1am. They are an honest taco stand that the community has adopted and welcomed - if anyone has issues they should keep driving past by :)

I would love to review the food but they told us at 7:10 that they open in 30 minutes but when we went back in 30 minutes they told us they didn’t open for an hour. Pretty upsetting when on Google it said they open at 7.
HOLY MOLY!A TACO STAND (not a truck) located in the TUSTIN LEGACY AREA!!?? And it's ONLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM ME!!?? Sigh...there goes my diet lol.WOWOWOW!I have found another hidden taco gem in the TUSTIN LEGACY area!This Taco Stand serves it up like how they do in the streets of LA...except only now they are in the new Tustin area. You have the large Al Pastor Trompo (w/ pineapples), grilled onion/peppers/cactus pan, large Comal Choricero pot filled with various proteins, Horchata station, garnish station, and salsa bar.On my first go around, I ordered 3x Carne Asada Tacos, 3x Al Pastor Tacos, and 3x Suadero Tacos. Here are my thoughts...-CARNE ASADA: not bad, but could use some work, I might have gone at the wrong time where the meat may have been on the "dry" side. I did see the grill on the side where they cook it up Tijuana Style, but maybe I'll have to try it fresh off the grill next time...or tomorrow :) (6/10)-AL PASTOR: tasted way better than the CARNE ASADA! It has that LEO TACOS AL PASTOR vibe that we all love (i.e. thin shaved slices, extra crispy texture from the fire torch), but the consistency of the slices were not all the same...maybe I just came at a bad time? (7/10)-SUADERO: WOWOWOW! Probably my favorite taco from this stand. This fatty brisket was literally melt-in-your-mouth GUUD! If I had had dinner prior to discovering this taco stand, I may have ordered 3x more! (10/10)The thing that makes me MOST EXCITED about this taco stand is that I (may) NO LONGER have to drive ALL THE WAY OUT to Santa Ana/Fountain Valley/Garden Grove area to get tacos! Hell...I could probably walk there since it's so close to my home! On the contrary...this could be the reason that I'll fail my diet for this current year : (P.S. Here's some other info on the Taco Stand:1) MENU:-Meat Selection: Tripa, Pollo, Asada, Buche, Pastor, Cabeza, Lengua, Chorizo, and Suadero (100% recommended!)-Items: Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Mulitas-Salsa: 3 different salsas (green avocado/guac sauce was my fave!)2) PARKING:-parking is definitely the downside to this taco stand. If there isn't parking next to the stand, you might have to park at the plaza across the street and walk over.UNTIL THEN!! ^-^
