20 Best Mexican Restaurants in Irvine

“Very few places are as "on task" as these guys. If you're looking for executable innovation this might be your place.“

“One of our favorite places to dine for special occasions. Food was quality. Drinks were weak. Weakest margarita I have ever had for such a high price. Service was adequate. Our server was not very friendly and did not check on us until we were close to being done eating. Overall this visit was very average.“

“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! 😎“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday with30+ family and friends. They had awesome service!“

“Great place for 1/2 price taco Tuesdays“

“I haven't even tried their food yet, but I felt compelled to write a review regardless. The owner took such great care of me before I walked out the door, so I already know the food will be great. Awesome place, excellent customer service. Keep it up!!!“

“Just had one of their soups !! It's so good. I suggest you try it out !“

“This was probably the best large order pick-up experience I've had from a fast food place in the last couple years. Everything was correct, well packaged, and ready to go when I arrived. The staff were friendly, walking me through the order and helping carry it to my car. Great work!“

“Just an incredible experience at the drive-through. I wouldn’t leave a review unless this was special and they were so helpful kind polite. I hadn’t been to El Pollo Loco in a while so I had a lot of dumb questions and they helped me customize my order. We’re very quick and charming.

No issues with the food either I asked for creamy chipotle sauce on my classic chicken burrito. Highly recommend it.“

“Amazing service and food was great!!“

“Excellent food and service as well! The drinks were very tasty too!“

“Rubios Coastal Grill is a great choice in the fast casual restaurant segment. The menu is simple: tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, with the usual appetizers you know and love.

The chips and guacamole taste fresh, and I like that I don't have to look for jalapeños so I can share with my kids.

The burritos were flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh. They do manage to put plenty of meat in the burritos and it didn't leave us feeling like they had shorted some ingredients.

Our host was friendly and did us a great service of providing some advice that saved us some money. Looking out for the customer is a rare gift and we're glad she was engaged with our order to recognize the opportunity.

The restaurant is well-maintained. Our table had been cleaned just before we sat down. The salsas were fresh, and there really was no mess anywhere. As with any fast casual place, the atmosphere is not jarring and allows you to enjoy your meal at a reasonable pace. However, like all other similar restaurants, you will not stay longer that necessary.“

“Super Mex has always been trip down memory lane. I grew up going to Super Mex as a child with my family and we have always loved the people who provide some of the best service and remembered our family for many years. I hope that many will continue to experience the great environment and atmosphere at Super Mex for years to come. Cheers! Gracias por todo!“

“Very sweet cashiers, amazing customer service. First time visiting this location and had amazing food. Sat outside which most places call you to go inside to pick up your food, not here. They brought our food to us and gave restaurant-like service asking every so often if we needed anything!“

“Gilbert is the definition of excellent service! He always greets customers with a big smile and such a positive attitude. He is friendly, patient, and truly makes every visit enjoyable. We always look for him when we go to Café Rio because his kindness and professionalism make the experience even better.

Also, the food is amazing, it’s the place that tastes the most like real Mexican home cooking. Tiene sabor de hogar.“

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

“The food is in a corner food court. There are 4 or 5 places to eat there. The cashier didn't look like he was happy to work there. When I asked a question he grumbed some answer that I could't understand. They don't have Salsa Mocaljete anymore. They was my favorite.“

“Wahoo’s is a good food option at Spectrum. The menu is far more than just tacos and we tried the salads which were very delicious. I ordered the vegan option, tofu, and I was very impressed how flavorful it was. Normally tofu can be bland on a salad, but these were flavored quite nicely. The salads aren’t your typical Taco Bell type salad that usually only has lettuce and beans. These salads included avocado and a variety of good quality greens. Quite filling as well.

The atmosphere is very unique, felt like I was at a beach cafe. Service was good, and most staff seemed to enjoy being there, which is a nice change from other shops in which staff can seem miserable. We’ll be back when we’re visiting Spectrum in the future.“

“This is an awesome small, local Mexican restaurant that seems like family we’ve frequented them so often.Their menu is vast and I love their Los Cabo’s Burrito combo. Additionally, if you love hot salsa … their hottest selection will never disappoint.There are booths inside with TVs for watching sports and a gorgeous courtyard with plenty of tables. Very affordable, delicious and they’re nice people too.

Parking: In a strip mall next to Starbucks.“

“Very nice everything Nice food“
