Although there's outdoor seating provided. We love the Carne asada tacos so much we'd rather drive-through and eat them in the parking lot. Yes, they're that good!We're never, ever, disappointed in their food. And their prices are very reasonable.

Used to love this place. Just picked up 15 chicken tacos and 8 chicken tacos plain. Think the whole order had like 3 tablespoons of chicken. Sad.

I don't know why good tacos are so hard to find in O.C. Real Tacoz does a lot to continue this trend. Tacos are small, and the meat is mostly flavorless. I say "mostly" flavorless, because the pork/carnitas does have some flavor. Real Tacoz pork tastes like cat food. No joke, no exaggeration. I've tried it a few times to make sure I wasn't imagining something, or having a bad day, or perhaps Real Tacoz was having a bad pork-day. The pork has remained consistently cat-food like, taste-wise. The other meat is not good. Their meat isn't terrible (other than the pork), it just isn't good. It's slightly worse than mediocre. Burritos are similarly flawed meat-wise, but bring their own whole dynamic to this faux-Mexican hole-in-the-wall. Real Tacoz choice of ingredient combination for their burritos is not only quixotic, but the flavor combinations just don't work, culinarily, or taste-bud wise. It's pretty hard to not be able to figure out what should be put into a burrito, but remarkably, Real Tacoz has figured out how to screw up even this simple task for their burrito ingredients. Their bean burritos is its own special kind of misery. The portion size isn't bad, but the burrito is expensive for a bean burrito. The beans are runny, and the tortilla is so insubstantial, that the burrito false apart right around the 5 minute mark. Any attempt to consume the burrito after 5 minutes, and will have a burrito spilling its insides all over wherever you are. If you're in a car, expect burrito ingredients all over your clothes, seat, center console, floor mats, gear shift, and any passengers. Try to nibble it just a little after 10 minutes have passed, and you'll exp0erience a special kind eating misery that'll make you regret needing to eat food of any kind. I never thought I'd have such a negative burrito problem as I've had with Real Tacoz bean burrito, but there you go.
I know what it takes to operate a Mexican fast food restaurant. I regularly patronize such establishments. I also have some experience with Mexican fast food restaurants from the inside. I've worked as a cook, preparer, cashier, and manager of several different Mexican fast food restaurants. Real Tacoz is failing on multiple levels. Running such a restaurant isn't rocket surgery/brain science. It is a series of fairly simple, readily defined steps, techniques, objectives, informed if not by experience, then by simple training. If Mexican fast food chains can readily train distracted teenaged employees in the finer art of successfully running those chain restaurants, then it should be child's play for an adult to operate a single restaurant. Real Tacoz represents that rare combination of small-scale Mexican-restaurant recipe, food preparation, and managerial failure.
On the plus side, Real Tacoz cashiers have always been a delight to interface with. I've been to Real Tacoz probably a dozen or two times (it's the only fast food restaurant in this part of town), and without exception, the cashiers have always offered plenty of good cheer, smiles, and an eagerness to serve any way they can, within reason. The hired help is the bright spot, a very bright spot, in the otherwise dreary and unpleasant experience that is dining at Real Tacoz (or getting it to go).
Parking is free, plentiful, and readily available. I recommend, however, that you never us it, and just pass right on by, unless you're so hungry cannibalism seems appealing. In that case, Real Tacoz is superior to consuming your fellow man or woman. Past that, I recommend you learn to live with whatever hunger you imagine Real Tacoz might alleviate.
Service was good. Tacos are okay. Tried the Pastor, asada, and carnitas. Pastor was meh, asada was ok, and carnitas was the best.

Must try the carnitas, especially on top of a nachos. Bring another person to help you finish.

Insanely expensive. I spent $20 on a simple chicken burrito (without guac) and chips and salsa. The quality of the food has gone downhill over the past year. Last time i got nachos that were basically all beans and completely soggy. I probably should have stopped spending my money here after that but i keep giving them a chance and they fall short every time.
