Well, it looks like Taquiero Taco Patio is really taking the "temporary" in their closure seriously! I mean, it's been whole month and they're still closed? That's dedication!But hey, at least they're consistent. Their second location is closed for good, and now this one is closed too. I guess they really nailed that whole "temporary" thing. Taquiero Taco Patio might not be open at the moment, their legacy will live on in the memories of all the taco-lovers out there. And who knows? Maybe they'll come back stronger than ever before. In the meantime, I just have to find my taco fix somewhere else.

Seriously, I’m blown away by the high quality of food put out by these folks. Firstly, I’m amazed by the amount of love and care you feel in each bite of food. Their tacos and tortillas are homemade BY HAND and of amazing quality! Second, their salsas are so full of flavor! Third, their fries stay crispy, omg, they’re so good. SERIOUSLY, support this business! They need all of our love and support!

Customer service was good and friendly. The food was very disappointing, I went with a friend and her kids so we ordered different items from menu. I personally got three tacos, asada, Al pastor and chorizo. asada had a gamy taste to it, no flavor at all and chorizo was super salted and it was like eating dust, no consistency at all, the salsas were tasteless and watery. Personally it was my first and last time. I will stick to chronic tacos even though their tortillas are not handmade.

I will never stop talking about this place. I stopped here today to finally try the brunch menu. It did not disappoint. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were INCREDIBLE. It is literally a giant lunch tray of food. I would say more suitable for 2 people. You choose the meat, with or without eggs, toppings on the side; whatever you want. I also ordered a michelada and it was probably one of the best ones I’ve ever had in my life. This is my favorite taco spot in Southern California.

very solid fast casual mexican food spot. Super nice staff and very clean seating area. Simple process .. Order at the counter and your food is brought to you. I ordered tacos and they were awesome my coworkers had the quesadilla and a burrito. All were good sized with lots of meat and great flavor. Will definitely return

Food was really spicy! Inorder the carne asada burrito and it was spicy! it did not even have rice. I was dissappointed to order that

Our family's favorite taco place in the area- and we've been to many! The tacos are made with homemade tortillas that you can watch the kitchen make, and you can tell the fillings are made with good quality and fresh ingredients. The meats are always well marinated and flavorful. Our favorite is the Al pastor and carnitas tacos but everything that we've tried has been great. We also love their salsa bar! It's the only place where we've been able to find salsa macha (a delicious chile oil salsa we first had in cabo) at a casual restaurant in OC. The only thing I think they could improve on is the seating inside. It's a little sparse and not cozy feeling but they do have a nice patio. Not enough to dock a star but I feel like this place would be packed if they had some booths or more inviting seating.

Service was great, but my carnitas burrito was crying for some flavor. Tasted like absolutely no salt was used. I figured id add thier salsa, which should add some flavor, but no. No salt either in the salsa. Burrito was filling, moist and should have been excellent, but fell short due to no seasoning at all. Bland!

I have been obsessed with the al pastor tacos here ever since they first opened!! I tried the nachos for the first time recently and they did not disappoint! The salsa bar always has so many options but the nachos were so stacked already I didn't even need to add any additional flavor. The portion of nachos was huge, I would definitely split it between two people next time!

pleasantly surprised by the tacos here! they were on the pricier end but that was expected for an establishment in this plaza. I found both my carne asada and al pastor tacos to be flavorful, juicy, and filling. if I'm too lazy to make the drive to taco establishments in other parts of OC, I would be happy to stop by here for my taco fix.
Even if their prices were cut in half they would still be overpriced and also overpriced rated. Small portions five of an excuse for Mexican food. Don’t Go

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Started off with the "world famous" carne asada fries which IMHO were the best thing on the menu from what I ordered. The fries were the best part. They were crispy and cooked just right. It comes with sour cream, shredded cheese, carne asada and guac. I wish they came with the option of nacho cheese for fun but perhaps that's too Tex mex for their theme. However, the fries were amazing and probably the only thing I would order next time. The carne asada burrito came just the way I like, no fillers like beans and rice. It had tons of meat and sour cream and guac with salsa. But the meat was over salted and really just lacked the flavor that would make me want to come back for more. It wasn't horrible, however it also didn't blow me away like I had expected perhaps. If this burrito was in any other state I would have said otherwise, but for SoCal standards, it's a tough market. The tacos were similar to the burrito. I actually came here for their street tacos but once again they missed the mark. It came with a large scoop of guac, salsa, carne, onions, cilantro, on the typical corn tortilla. They are on the spicier side which is nice but the meat was, again over salted and I kind of think the scoop of guac was a little too much for a small taco and I love guac. Just perhaps it would be better on the side. It almost seemed like they tried too hard for a simple taco. And again, wasn't horrible but not something I would order again. The Horchatas where pretty nice and had free refills and the Churros were simple and nice. Great selection of beers actually and nice place inside. It would be fun to order fries and drinks with friends next time if I'm in the area. The service was great. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge but you will find one at some point.

First time there, got al pastor mulita. Size is ok for price, the taste makes up for it! It was so good!Horchata was also pretty small for price, but overall the food tasted great as well as the salsas.

Wowow! These tacos were soooooo good! They were filling and flavorful. They did have a lot of guacamole in them but can ask for it on the side if you're not a fan. I got the 2 chicken tacos they offered and carne and they were so good. The Michelada was delicious and came with a coated straw. Yummmmm

Respectfully, if you can't do rice and beans as a "Mexican" restaurant, then you really need to check yourself. Honestly, it's almost insulting to serve overcooked rich and beans when that is one of the most basic things you should have perfected. The other reviews are generous, sorry but as a Latina I am going to have to say that this place genuinely does not have good food.
