Tacos TJ Style — Restaurant in Garden Grove

Added updated menu Ok. So I was really excited to try this place out because I've lived in t.j. & know my mexican tacos. The taste is kinda similar. Kiiiinda. Yes the handmade tortilla is a bonus but not many taco stands out there have homemade tortillas (they just have a great authentic taste) meat was ok. I never add salt to my food and these needed more salt

Most reviewers also commented on the price & I agree. I think it's a bit much $2- $2.50 for a taco that size. I usually eat 3 tacos anywhere else. I had to order 7 here to get full. ($17.50) They aren't very generous on their meat portion either. Maybe if they add 2 tortillas it would be more satisfying? More for your buck?

The SALSAS! The red is 🔥. So so hot but good. I think this the only thing that stood out. Oh And guac is great add on too

Bonus: they take venmo and 💳 for an extra charge

Tijuana usually has a variety of sides to choose from like cucumber , cebollitas, beans & a variety of SALSAS. This place only has 2 salsas, radish and tiiiiiiny sliced lemons. Love how they kept the salsa "bar" nice and clean. (Please add ice to keep salsas cool. Temp of food people! After all were not in tj)

👎They don't carry salt! I asked for some and the lady said they don't carry any. 🤦‍♀️

👎 The adobada is not on & cooking. They cut the meat from the "trompo" & grill it. So it's just a "show" but now I'm wondering why the meat is out there for hours & not refrigerated. The lady said it gets too hot which is totally understandable but please put in refrigerator.

👎 They also keep their cooked meat out of their container & half way in the container and cutting board. It took about 30 min to get my order & the meat just stood there. They need to control the temps and put their meat away (pic included)

Will I go again? No. But at least I tried it and for those who want to get fresh small homemade tortillas, good guac on a taco this...

I really wanted to like this taco truck, but unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark. The prices were decent, and the menu looked promising, it is a small menu, but the execution left a lot to be desired.

First off, the quality of the ingredients seemed questionable. The meat was chewy and overly greasy, and I couldn’t tell if it was just overcooked or sitting around too long. The tortillas were handmade and tasted a little stale, which made the whole experience even more disappointing. I also tried their salsa, but it had an odd aftertaste, almost like it had been sitting out for too long. With my order they provided me limes clearly old with the brown dark edges around them.

The service was fine, nothing special, but the wait time was longer than expected for a food truck that wasn’t even busy. I was hoping the food would make up for it, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t great.

I wouldn’t say it’s the worst taco truck out there, but with so many better options around, I don’t see myself coming back anytime soon. Maybe they just had an off day, but for now, I’d recommend looking elsewhere for a more satisfying...

Hi guys! So today I had the opportunity to try a new taco place and let me tell you it was worth it! This is a small taco truck that is in a industrial complex so with it being the weekend obviously no traffic which is a plus. This place makes tacos Tijuana style with a freshly made corn tortilla that is made in front of you thru a plexiglass so u can see your food being made for me a big plus. I tried the asada,chorizo and al pastor taco. Asada was good and chorizo spicy but good, now the al pastor was one of the best meats I have ever had. So what made it so good the big chunks of fresh meat that was not burned or overcooked it was juicy and very well seasoned the big dollop of guacamole on top of each taco made it feel just like Tijuana style tacos. I also tried the quesadilla with al pastor meat that was delicious as well. So don't take my word for it you out and try it for yourself and see...
