Elys Tacos — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

The people working the food truck trailer all wear black chef uniforms and that was my first clue. Second, the al pastor in taco or torta form is both delicious true to what the reviews say. The chorizo torta is also filling and tasty. They have a special taco of the day offering, today was chicharron en salsa verde, when I went. Lastly, they offer bottled Mexican soda (jarritos, squirt, etc.) beverages along with canned mango or guava Jumex or Boing drinks. Great way to wash the flavorful Mexican street food all down. Totally surprised me how good it was compared to other food trucks...

Was craving tacos and just happened to see them from an off street on Harbor. They're pretty small and a typical street taco truck who offered various Mexican foods. The wait was a bit long, but the tacos was good.

I can only speak for thr torta. Its in costa mesa so dont expect it to taste authentic mexican. But i believe their target audience is for white people that want mexican food. All good tho. Salsa roja not spicy. They also sell hamburgers. I mean service is great and its not crowded. If you want mexican food 4 stars. If you want mexican americanized food 5 stars. YT:...
