My favorite is carne asada burrito. Food is good. Only outdoor seating. We always take out. Very quick service when we call ahead.

We went to Microcenter, and this was closed by, so we decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was ok and the service was really good. The place was clean, and someone was moping and cleaning tables while we were there.The food was, unfortunately, another story. The carne asada was bland, and the burritos were flavorless and small. My brother had the adobada tacos, and they looked uncooked. He said those were the worst tacos he's ever had.My kid had the carne asada torta, and while he finished it, he said that it didn't taste all that good.The salsa counter was clean, but the salsas left a lot to be desired. Overall, we won't be coming here.

FIRST AND LAST TIME GOING THERE. AS A TRUE MEXICAN THIS IS NOT GOOD I ORDERED ASADA AND THAT MEAT DID NOT TASTE LIKE ASADA AT ALL!!! SALSA NO GOOD TASTE LIKE CAN SALSA. NO FLAVOR. ? IF YOU WANT TO TRY SOME REAL MEXICAN FOOD(Perlas Taqueria) In MISSION VIEJO THEY HAVE NATURAL AGUAS FRESCAS TOO.100% RECOMMENDED.
I love the tacos. They're basic, but tasty and everything comes with a small side of tortilla chips. Prices are a bit higher than what you'd expect. The condiments bar is always well stocked.Parking: The lot is small, but you can usually find parking at the other end of the shopping center.

So, in looking for a new "hard shell" taco spot, this came up on my search. As I was looking over the entry, the menu, and directions, I saw the first comment which said, "possibly the best tacos in the OC," so I figured I'd give it a shot.The establishment is nothing to brag about. It's antiquated and a little run down, but it's clean and there's plenty of seating if you not doing take-out.The staff, what can I say, they were so friendly and helpful and treated us like we've been patrons for years. This treatment alone would have been enough for a second visit.The food: I wanted have shell tacos and so I got 1 Asada, 1 shredded chicken, 1 carnitas and 1 Al Pastor. Since I luv enchiladas I also ordered a single shredded beef with green sauce.I must say that the review that led me here was spot on. The tacos were delicious, end of story. The chicken was a little dry, but some salsa and hot sauce corrected this issue. I will be returning next Tuesday without a doubt. For me, an enchilada is one of those menu items that is a standard for a Mexican restaurant. Either its proper or it fails in some fashion and this is also reflected in other dishes. In this instance, the enchiladas was perfect. The corn tortilla remained firm, the sauce was the perfect consistency and flavor, and the cheese topping and meat filling were exactly right.The other two things that stood out to both me and my daughter was that the price is proper and the speed which everything was prepared. I just completed getting salsa and hot sauce into containers when our order was ready. If you have not checked out the Original Taco Factor then you should certain put it on you list of places to try.Parking: The parking up front is limited to four spots, but the lot for the strip mall behind has more parking. Might be best to find a spot there and walk around.

I've been going to this place for years and it's very much a go-to spot when I want something to eat without all the hassle. The parking lot is quite small, which becomes am issue when theres a rush of folks, but there is plenty of outdoor seating and food comes out quickly.

This place is frickin’ sublime. The veggie tacos and burritos have all the classic fillings you want and nothing you don’t, and they’re HUGE for the price. Great rice and beans - the staple of vegetarian Mexican food. I can’t speak for the meat but my boyfriend was very pleased with his meaty tacos, which were also massive. We both ended up making two tacos out of one, since they come double-wrapped (the way god intended) and are so over-stuffed with fillings you either have to split them up or knife and fork it. The salsa bar makes this an extra great deal - love the fact that you can dress your tacos yourself and have plenty of topping options. Three different kinds of onions! Are you kidding me?! Can’t overemphasize how reasonable - dare I say, cheap - the prices are here for what you get.The employees are so sweet and friendly. Also love the fact they have foam cups for drinks - my apologies to the environment, but every soda nut knows foam cups are the gold standard for keeping your sodie fresh, cold, and not watered down. Not to mention the free refills on the Horchata/Orange Whip machine. In high school we used to come here and suck down gallons of horchata while hanging out on the patio - great to see that over 20 years later this place hasn’t changed. A true Orange County Mexican food gem. Protect this place at all costs.Vegetarian options: They have a bean and cheese burrito, Chile Relleno, and a classic vegetarian taco/burrito (beans, rice, lettuce, onions, tomato, cheese, guacamole, sour cream). No idea if the rice and beans are strict vegetarian (chicken stock/lard), so if you’re orthodox about that, ask.
