“Really good food tonight! About a 15 minute walk from Pixar Place Hotel, and worth it.
My hubs and I shared a chicken Burrito Mojado with salsa verde and their freshly made guacamole. Delicious! Miguel was the sweetest server :) He was so proud to practice speaking English with us. Highly recommend this place.“

“Calo K's ceviche is delicious.“

“We loved this place for takeout! The cashier/chef was so attentive even though he was the only one working. He even gave us extra consommé. The toppings he included with our tacos were more than we even needed - homemade pickled onion, onion, cilantro and hot sauce. He even packed the dinner perfectly so nothing spilled and everything arrived at the right temperature. Definitely give this place a try!!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“great fresh ingredients. wonderful flavors hot hot sauce bar. beautiful“

“Delicious real Mexican food“

“The food was delicious and our server Ashton was incredible. We will be back soon❣️“

“This was an amazing dining experience. Having worked in the hospitality and restaurant industry for decades it is thrilling to dine at a venue that is top rate. Flavors are extraordinary — the shrimp aquachile was spicy with perfect degree of acid; handmade tortillas with the short ribs were perfect; the short rib was so tender and favorful. John who was our server was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, professional, very helpful in navigating the very interesting menu. The specials associated with the Food and Wine Festival at the Disney parks provided lovely options to consider. Will be coming again and again“

“The food was good, and the staff were incredibly friendly—something we truly appreciated. However, there were a few drawbacks that impacted our overall experience. The menu didn’t have prices listed, which made ordering a bit uneasy since we weren’t sure what to expect cost-wise. I ordered a wet carne asada burrito, and the composition was disappointing: about 60% rice, 10% beans, and only 30% carne asada. The flavor was decent, but it felt more like a rice dish than a true carne asada burrito. On the other hand, my wife had the birria and genuinely enjoyed it. While there were some highlights, I don't think we'd choose to return. Still, the welcoming attitude from the staff deserves recognition.“

“Juan made our experience spectacular! Great customer service, they were closing soon and he made sure he gave us the best. We had the tacos and Taco plate and they were delicious, a modern twist on traditional Mexican tacos. The guacamole was so fresh too. Highly recommend“

“Probably the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. Friendly and generous staff.“

“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“

“Genuinely the best Mexican food we have ever had. Awesome location, great drinks, and outstanding service. Our server Alex, was attentive, helpful, and welcoming. He walked us through the menu and made sure we had a great time. We're coming back again this week. This is a new favorite and we'll be coming back on a regular basis.“

“The best! The owner was friendly and very polite. Food was amazing and tasted fresh, my Pa loved his huarache de chorizo 😃definitely recommend!“

“Really enjoy this location, the servers are wonderful. The food and drink is always wonderful. I will keep coming here until I can't do it anymore. 😉 Try the fajitas & the Chili Verda, and Cadillac to drink along with all of this excellent food. 👍“

“Nice place to enjoy some food and drinks… Loved it’s ambiance and service.“

“My daughter was looking for somewhere new for us to eat lunch...she came across this little gem. Tacos San Pedro seems to be a family run little Mexican take out/eat in eatery. Nothing fancy but, the food is amazing!!! The street tacos were outstanding, the chile rellno was very good as well. The problem is trying to figure out what to eat!!! Clean, friendly atmosphere, very helpful when ordering. Very busy place, lets you know how good it is This will be one for our favorite list.“

“Great service, food and employees“

“Great food excellent service“

“Their salsa roja is butthole burning hot 🔥 Pairs very well with their pizzabirria“

“10 Tomas E is an exceptional server Every time we have been served by Tomas It’s been excellent and always with a smile“

“My friends and I made dinner reservations at Tulum OC and it was by far the best experience. Pedro, our server was so attentive, funny and overall a pleasure to interact with during our dinning experience. He gave us recommendations and guided us through the menu. He also answered all of my questions, which was very kind of him. Drinks: I personally ordered the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita, my cousin ordered the Margarita Flight (Mango, Strawberry, Cucumber Cilantro, and Watermelon), and my friend ordered the Smoked Pineapple Margarita. Overall, the drinks were FANTASTIC! Very delicious! They paired really well with the free chips and salsa (Side Note: THE GREEN SALSA WAS SO GOOD!!) But the drinks were truly perfectly balanced, not overly sweet like your typical margarita. We enjoyed every sip! We can't wait to come back and try other cocktails. Appetizer: My friend ordered the Aguachiles, and it was REALLY GOOD. We would like it to be a little bit spicier, but overall it was very delicious. It also came with home made tostada, and it truly elevated the experience to the next level. Main Meal: I ordered the Skirt Stake Fajitas, and my cousin and friend ordered the Lobster Enchiladas. Let me start off by saying that I was expecting the fajitas to be very bland, but it was beyond savory! The steak was thick, and every piece was so flavorful. I enjoyed every piece. The Fajita veggies were perfectly seasoned and paired perfectly with the steak. And the guacamole and salsa added a perfect balance to the plate. I would get this again in a heartbeat! The Lobster Enchiladas were a SURPRISE. We truly didn't know what to expect since we've never encountered a plate like that before. But it was quite the surprise. Every bite of the enchilada had lobster in it, which was surprising. And the creamy lobster enchilada sauce was truly a surprising and flavorful treat. It blends perfectly well with the enchilada itself. It needed to be spicy, but we managed with the table green salsa. Overall we truly LOVED everything we ordered and can't wait to bring my parents and grandmother to have dinner here in the future. Shout out to Pedro for being so fun and accommodating. He also brought my cousin a cute detail for her birthday. Truly couldn't have asked for a better waiter. Give this place a chance. It's fairly new and they have a very delicious menu.“

“It’s Awesome and great place!“

“The food and service at Tacos Manuel was exceptional. We selected this restaurant based upon the reviews. We were in Anaheim on a family trip to Disneyland and we were staying in a local motel. We liked the food so much that we returned a second time. In between our two visits we eat at a local pizzeria and everyone commented on how we should have go for dinner at Tacos Manuel. If in the LA area again, we would drive out of our way to order another round of amazing burritos. Most excellent!“

“Best TJ tacos in OC! Their adobada and mushroom tacos are delicious! Their carne asada has a great Smokey flavor. And their agua fresca are legit. I highly recommend this place!“

“Second time come here they always have a table reserved and ready to go for me and my family. Food reminds me of back home. Can’t say enough about this place and their Service. Highly recommended.

Parking: No issues whatsoever

Kid-friendliness: Some of our kids were running around and they didn’t mind. Still was respectful, but like the fact that they let families come and interact.“

“great food good price will return again“

“Such a great hole in the wall place to have amazing food. I went for the first time about a week ago, I’ve thought about their shrimp tacos & shrimp tostadas everyday since & I’ve gone back since… might go again today. 🤤Miguel is very friendly & his family is so sweet too. I love supporting small businesses especially when they remind you of home & have AMAZING food. Chill vibes in there, playing good music & cozy seating. 10/10 would recommend for some comfort food. I also took this pic half eaten & in a rush lol (I forgot to take one before) :)“

“The food was good! tried three a la cart items and was pleased with all of it...great pricing to boot!“

“Always have the best experience at Que Vida in Yorba Linda. I’m a regular here. The staff are always friendly and greet you with warm hospitality. The servers, hosts, annd bartenders are always very friendly. We love their tacos, chiliquilas, nachos, burritos, churros, and adult beverages. The food is delicious and authentic. The best Mexican place in town!!!“

“These tacos are some of the least expensive in town and are pretty good
Don't be intimidated by the line you see, It goes by so fast!
The workers here are working quickly but are attentive and friendly still. Definitely check them out“

“I highly recommend this Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana, CA. My wife and I love this spot. The food, workers and cleanliness is on point. I recommend this Mexican Restaurant in Santa Ana to anyone. 💯“

“Probably the best Mexican restaurant I have been too. Friendly and generous staff.“

“I really like this place. The food is good. The staff is friendly and efficient. It's a clean and well run establishment. There's a Disneyland theme throughout, with figurines, pins, Disney mouse ear displays, etc. It has self seating. You order at the counter, and they bring you your food. There's a serve yourself station for salsas. The eating area is relatively small but pleasant and well kept. You can order food to-go as well. Parking on the grounds is limited, but I haven't seen the lot get full. Street parking is also an option, but it could easily be hard to find a nearby space.

Parking: They have their own lot. It's not overly large, but I've yet to see it full. Street parking is also an option, but will be limited in the immediate area.“

“Esta muy rica la comida la recomiendo lo único que tardan mucho tiempo en servirte y se les olvida lo que les encargas no te lo llevan y pues no te preguntan si necesitas algo más“

“I ordered the Baja fish tacos and the Watermelon Margarita. The tacos were amazing and the Watermelon Margarita was one of the best I have ever had! 😎“

“Food was delicious, the madres chilaquiles were really tasty and well portioned, the drinks were great and delicious. The servers were nice and answered all our questions on the different menu options. Will be returning to try the rest of their menu. The general ambiance of the restaurant was interesting, not sure if the name matches the aesthetic.“

“They have real chilaquiles not the chips covered in sauce!! Very delicious!“

“Fast, friendly service! Delicious food!!“

“Best food ever. They make the best beans and the best guacamole.“

“Finally some good food. I've got to say that the owner of this restaurant and the staff there are the most nicest down-to-earth 💞“

“Deliciousness!!!!!! Legit Mexican food.

Freshly made tortillas. This place is quite simply about the food. Bring a little patience for your food to be prepared. Also be patient with the old school vibes of how they calculate your costs, take your order, etc. For me, this added to the charm of this place.
Felt wonderful supporting a local business. Truly, great food!“

“I wasn't sure how much I'd like this place. Most of the reviews were from Disney tourists, and the scene here is pretty basic. But I must say the tacos checked all the boxes. Very good and simple, real street tacos. Service was very warm. This was exactly what I needed.“

“I think I just had three of the best tacos of 2024. I walked in here expecting things to be good l, but DAMN these were some delicious tacos. Quesabirria, fried fish, and grilled shrimp were unreal! Brought together with two perfect salsas, the tacos were flavorful, distinct, and filling. You don’t want to miss El Bandito.“

“Had the sea food tacos, very good. My wife had the carnitas! Loved it.“

“Love these tacos, I live a bit of distance away, but we still take the drive to eat the Tacos al Vapor the beef ones, add some lemon, dash of salt, hot sauce (which their hot sauce is good too:)), and some guac, you'll have the best tacos in town. I can't comment on anything else as that's all we go for, the tacos as that's their specialty 😋!!!“
