Mariscos Valencia Restaurant — Restaurant in Tustin

I went out looking for authentic Mexican food and I think I found it. I was definitely the only person in the place where English was my first language. Nothing fancy, but the food was very good.

I got a trio of street tacos (carne asada, pollo, and El Pastor). They gave the option of regular tortillas or "hand made", so of course I asked for the hand made ones. I also asked for the on house hot sauces and got the Salsa Verde with a basket of tortilla chips. They were out of the red variety today. 3 tacos and a Pineapple Jarritos was about $13, so price was reasonable. The gentleman that came to the register and the lady that brought out my food were very nice. Obviously there is no lack of Mexican places to dine in Santa Ana, but if you're looking for no-frills authentic food,...

This place is occasionally packed depending on the time of day. The customer service is also great! I have only visited this place a few times for their beef torta and it is BOMB. For such a cheap price, you will get a torta that will fill you up. Warm and toasted buns, tender beef, fresh veggies, and crunchy jalapenos with red onions on the side. One of our torta bun was a bit well-done, but our waiter insisted that he would replace them if it didn't work out for us. We ended up eating it anyway and it was delicious regardless. All in all, there are other items on the menu that I need to try (customers seem to enjoy everything on the menu as far as I've seen during my visits), but the torta here is...

I've been here before and this is my second time, last time I came the guy who help us out was amazing and the cocktail I had was great. That's the whole reason I came back to this restaurant. This time the food was ok, the service not good at all. Obviously different guy, who never ask if the food was ok, if I need it anything else, nothing. I am not going to lie, I gave no tip at all. I go to restaurants a lot and most of the time the service is great and always try to leave not just any tip but a good tip. But unfortunately this guy was not giving good service and not even a smile on his face at list to greet customers...
