The food was unmatched. Will definitely eat there again!“

“I ordered asada, pastor, and cabeza - my usual trio. Unfortunately, the meat was very dry for me. The lady who helped me at the cashier was nice. The price has been raised a bit more compared to the menu picture on here taken 7 months ago. Many indoor seatings and big parking lot.“

“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.“

“Love this place. It ticks every box:

✅️ Great food
✅️ Great service
✅️ Great value
✅️ Easy parking

You won't be disappointed if you go, but unfortunately no one is going there now. I hope they have a good lease agreement, because I don't see how they can survive at this location. So enjoy it now while it lasts people!“

“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“

“The owner served us as if we were in his home. He tended not only to us but to all his customers. We experienced true Mexican culture while visiting his restaurant. He brought out homemade natural guava drink, he brought a small cup for my 17 month old and a side of rice for her to start eating. He brought food out without being asked and when he was asked he provided. We ordered chilaquiles red and green, a cheeseburger plain and a plate of carne asada. Because my husband didn’t order food, he brought out a side of small lentil soup for him. Once the meal was finished he provided my children complimentary ice cream popsicles.“

“Wow. I look for hole in the wall places and have a standard. 4.7 stars and $ dollar sign. This place is a solid 5 stars. The food is excellent, service friendly and great value for the prices. I will make this a regular stop when in the area“

“The food and the sauce were fantastic, but unfortunately, the place got SLAMMED on a Friday when I went. It took about 45 min to get my order. No fault to the restaurant--it's located in a popular spot where there is very little parking. If you're looking for something quick and chill, don't go on Friday evening!“

The salsas are good too. The prices are super cheap. Will definitely be stopping by again. The workers are really friendly.“

“One of my fav spots to pop in when im in socal. I love the Ensenada style fish tacos. The rice and beans are delicious…. And the salsa bar is amazing. They let you take as much as you like. I also recommend a steak and shrimp burrito minus the cabbage. Absolute perfection.“

“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“

“This is one of those classic, tiny, hole-in-the-wall places that delivers no-frills, fantastic food at a reasonable price. I'd never had tacos de vapor before, and Tito's came highly recommended by a friend - and he was right! I had one taco de rez and one pollo and WOW the flavor! I ordered the combo with beans and rice and both of those were very flavorful as well. I will definitely be back!“

“Come here for lunch and pick up dinner! Excellent Mexican food in Costa Mesa right on Fairview and Baker. The caldo de res and caldo de pollo are soooo goood! Perfect balance of veggies and meat …my family loves it ♥️“

“First time customer but definitely not last! Had the Surf my Turf burrito and can honestly say best burrito I’ve ever had hands down! Can’t wait to order again and try everything on the menu!“

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

“This is a phenomenal, authentic old-school Mexican eatery bursting with flavor and priced right. You best believe the two ladies behind the counter know the meaning of auténtico. My tacos were cooked to order on homemade tortillas. I dressed mine up with some toppings from the salsa bar. When I sent a pic to my dad, he said “When they have radishes it’s usually a good bet.” He nailed it.

I went with birria and carne asada. The meat is juicy and tender, with the perfect blend of spices and seasoning. The aromas from the grill made my mouth water. The condiment bar is loaded with different cremas, a tangy salsa verde with charred peppers, radish, onion, and carrot.

This is an honest-to-goodness SoCal treasure and it’s only a few minutes from the Magic Park.“

“great food good price will return again“

“This place is your one stop shop for your carne asada needs. Liquor store, carniceria and tacos already made.

I went to the carniceria, they have a great marinade and prices are decent. It's a 20 minute drive for me but I go here often since I found it. Worth it.“

“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“

“tacos lengua. I live .01 ml from this joint. first time. will return. uber clean. I am a sushi/sanitation expert with 30 yrs in the field. these folk get an A+“

“I totally recommend the food. I could eat there everyday. I have taken others there t eat and ALL like the food.“

“Muy buena comida i servicio al cliente muy bueno“

“Great spot for weekend brunch! Pineapple mimosa! 😘“
