Tacos Cancun — Restaurant in Newport Beach

I have to give a shout out to Tacos Cancun in Newport Beach, California. While I was on a business trip from Colorado, I made my way down to the beach to try this place after doing some previous research for Vegan options while I was still in Colorado Springs. This place had a great Vegan menu (and a regular menu) that I was really wanting to try. When I got dropped off, I walked up and was told by the owner Tina that they were closed🥺. I was definitely disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying it for almost 3 weeks. I asked if there were any other Vegan options on the beach and she said not really, immediately after, she said that she would open for me and make whatever I liked because she was also Vegan and didn't want me to leave hungry. I told her that I wasn't picky and that I would take anything that was easy. I definitely didn't want to inconvenience her. She then preceeded to make me a taco plate and gave me some chips and guacamole. I was so appreciative for her efforts, but then she said that she would also make me a burrito to take for later and also gave me another order of chips and salsa to take as well. I I was truly blown away by her hospitality, and the the price was unbelievable too ($20). It was something that I didn't expect in that area. If you are ever at Newport Beach, I would highly recommend stopping by and showing some love to this awesome woman❤️. She has an amazing location too! Literally beach front and directly in front of the...

The woman owner who helped us was very nice and welcoming. Attentive and gave suggestions. Let us know about drinks available at Cabo Cantina.

We ordered a few items and they were good. Shrimp taco was fresh and shrimp flavor was not overpowered by the toppings such as the chipotle sauce. The asada tacos had a good serving of meat, the tortillas so soft they fell apart in your mouth. The meat was so fresh and tasty that a little splash of lemon highlighted the flavor and no salsa was needed. The guacamole was chunky and fresh, we didn’t feel cheated (aka we are Mexican)!

Ambiance was good, not too crowded, and pleasant music in the background (not too loud). Well thought out and well executed beach front restaurant. Bravo!

Conclusion:

Would recommend!! Will come again next time we...

I walked in and I was surprised to see how cheap all the food was (California standards) and I ordered the onion rings and the everyday special (Burger + Fries + Drink for 10.50) and they were pretty good. The food wasn’t master chef food but it was very comforting and fills you up for less, and there are plenty of items on the menu to choose from so a burger and fries were just a taste of what’s to come.

The service was great, the owner was super nice and the chefs were wholesome and cool.

The restaurant is small but the atmosphere screamed artistic so size didn’t really matter. This restaurant is located near the beach so I understand that its main intention was to give beach people more food for less and I like that. So if you want something to fill you up for less,...
