Tacos La Pina — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

New taco spot using this as a pop up location while they wait for their first store front to finish construction. Came here with some friends out of a recommendation and so glad we did!!

Horchata was great. Just for my preference, I would’ve liked it a little sweeter, but nevertheless, it was tasty and refreshing.

Definitely will...

New spot in Costa Mesa for sure hit the spot! Amazing tacos for a great price! I got the pork tacos with pineapple and horchata.

This place is worth going out of your way to try it out! Staff are all super friendly and the wait time for food was only about 7 minutes even with them being fairly busy! Also got chips and salsa the seasoning on the chips was perfect and the salsa you can tell all the ingredients are fresh and hand cut to perfection! I can’t say enough good things about this place I will most deff be...
