We have been coming here for over 10 years. One of the reasons we fell in love with the place is that as soon as you walk in you can smell some good cooking. Another reason was the chilaquiles. I have never had chilaquiles like the ones they serve here. This time we came in to not only enjoy one of the original dishes but also try some other menu items. But first let me just say when we originally found this location and ordered the chilaquiles they use to serve a over easy egg on top of the chilaquiles. Now it seems like its a hasel, when you order over easy egg they bring it as a side item. Well here are the new items we ordered. Rib Eye Taco Asada Taco Tripas Taco Lengua Taco Corn on the cob All very delicious! Coffee is still just as good a I remember it. The only other criticism is the service although good, not to friendly.
My first visit to this taqueria on Main Street was a standout experience. This is not your average stop—the quality of the ingredients is genuinely high. I asked for recommendations and it was the Filet Mignon Burrito and El pastor tacos. it was all spectacular. The meat lived up to the hype: the filet mignon was incredibly tender, juicy, and very flavorful. It’s rare to find this kind of premium beef in a burrito, making it a very memorable and satisfying meal. I also tried the Al Pastor Tacos, and they were awesome. The pork was flavorful, and they were served on fresh, warm corn tortillas. The salsas were a highlight; I appreciated having access to the salsa bar, where I found both their hot salsa and mild salsa to be excellent. They were distinct, well-made, and perfectly complemented the food. A quick warning for anyone planning a visit: parking is minimal. The location is right next to CHOC Hospital in downtown Orange and only has a small area where you can pull in off the street for a parking space. It can be a little challenging, but trust me, the premium meats and exceptional flavors make the stop completely worth the effort
9.1/10 Nortena Omelette The short rib inside the omelette is cooked perfectly and the meat has tons of flavor. The saltiness of the short rib mixed with the green salsa on the inside complement each other really well. There wasn't too much meat to egg ratio It was pretty good and I found myself scraping the plate eating the last of whatever I could because of how good it tasted. This is a small place and not sure how long they can manage to stay here because I feel like it should be suoer crowded all the time I absolutely will be back to try more and this restaurant looks like all the food is awesome
My friend and I came here for breakfast. It did not disappoint. Food was delicious, service was spot on, and we didn't wait to be seated. The chilaquilles were bursting with flavors. The tacos were ok. But the whole menu definately has something for everyone.
. Bad experience. The "chilaquiles" were made with Tostitos instead of tortilla chips or fried tortillas, which completely ruined the dish. The texture and flavor were nothing like real chilaquiles. For a traditional dish, I would expect authentic ingredients, not commercial snacks. I wouldn't recommend them. Terrible chilaquiles. They used Tostitos instead of tortilla chips or fried tortillas. That completely changes the flavor and texture. It's neither authentic nor acceptable for a traditional dish. I wouldn't order them again.
