My first visit to this taqueria on Main Street was a standout experience. This is not your average stop—the quality of the ingredients is genuinely high.
I asked for recommendations and it was the Filet Mignon Burrito and El pastor tacos. it was all spectacular. The meat lived up to the hype: the filet mignon was incredibly tender, juicy, and very flavorful. It’s rare to find this kind of premium beef in a burrito, making it a very memorable and satisfying meal.
I also tried the Al Pastor Tacos, and they were awesome. The pork was flavorful, and they were served on fresh, warm corn tortillas. The salsas were a highlight; I appreciated having access to the salsa bar, where I found both their hot salsa and mild salsa to be excellent. They were distinct, well-made, and perfectly complemented the food.
A quick warning for anyone planning a visit: parking is minimal. The location is right next to CHOC Hospital in downtown Orange and only has a small area where you can pull in off the street for a parking space. It can be a little challenging, but trust me, the premium meats and exceptional flavors make the stop completely worth the effort

9.1/10 Nortena Omelette
The short rib inside the omelette is cooked perfectly and the meat has tons of flavor. The saltiness of the short rib mixed with the green salsa on the inside complement each other really well. There wasn’t too much meat to egg ratio
It was pretty good and I found myself scraping the plate eating the last of whatever I could because of how good it tasted.
This is a small place and not sure how long they can manage to stay here because I feel like it should be suoer crowded all the time
I absolutely will be back to try more and this restaurant looks like all the food is awesome

My friend and I came here for breakfast. It did not disappoint. Food was delicious, service was spot on, and we didn’t wait to be seated. The chilaquilles were bursting with flavors. The tacos were ok. But the whole menu definately has something for everyone.

The food is amazing, love how they cook meat outside! Makes the street smell so bomb!

It was a nice cozy spot to get dinner. They had a nice bar area as well. I got the Chile relleno and my girlfriend got the hangar steak. The Chile relleno portion was absolutely tiny and is not a full meal. It was OK but the salsa Verde was way too sour for my taste. The hangar steak on the other hand was much more of a meal and had a much better sauce. The mango cheesecake was the star of the show. I wouldn’t go back but worth an experience.

The service was excellent, and the food was great. I had the chilaquiles, which were flavorful, though they were on the soggy side. One unexpected highlight was the coffee, it was surprisingly good and tasted like something you’d find from a cafe.
Parking isn’t great, and when it gets crowded, getting in and out can be a challenge.

. Bad experience. The “chilaquiles” were made with Tostitos instead of tortilla chips or fried tortillas, which completely ruined the dish. The texture and flavor were nothing like real chilaquiles. For a traditional dish, I would expect authentic ingredients, not commercial snacks. I wouldn’t recommend them.
Terrible chilaquiles. They used Tostitos instead of tortilla chips or fried tortillas. That completely changes the flavor and texture. It’s neither authentic nor acceptable for a traditional dish. I wouldn’t order them again.

This small little eatery near Choc hospital was a nice change of pace from those chain food Mexican places like Chipotle or Super Mex, The flavors here were more authentic and their dishes are very unique. Staff were kind, patient, and very pleasant. It was well worth the visit.

While the Chilaquiles were excellent, the Huevos Perdidos is the star. Get them and you will forever be changed.

This spot was one of our first date spots and we haven’t been here in forever! So when hubby suggested that we visit here for their breakfast, I was super excited!! The Guava French Toast & the Chilaquiles will always be our favorite dishes here and it was just as delish as when we last visited! Because we were the 1st patrons there, our dishes came out super quick!
We love the small, charming restaurant. We came pretty early on a weekday morning, so we got our choice seating. Be mindful that if you come on a weekend, it does get pretty packed! There are a handful of tables with chairs set up out front, with the main dining inside the restaurant.
Can’t wait to visit again!
WHAT WE ORDERED:
– Hot Abuelita Chocolate
– Chilaquiles Divorciados
– Guava French Toast
