This is one of the better spots in Santa Ana, friendly staff and food comes quick. Queso Birria is huge, al pastor is great as well. Good salsa bar as well. Not cheap but not crazy expensive, it's a regular spot for me and my coworkers.

Birria and asada and pastor tacos are one of the best I have tried in the Santa Ana area. I am in love with their birria tacos, meat is tender and has great flavor. They have an oil chili paste which is fireeeeee! Parking is small but it is worth the struggle lol, anything for Tacos LOL Good customer service!

Pretty good, local, birria taco place. We ordered the birria tacos (with cheese), chips, and the birria quesadilla. It was not bad, not bad at all. There's a small parking lot in the back of the place. There's a few seats inside and then a few on the outside. They are generous with their portion sizes and their spicy sauce was really good. I also enjoyed adding lime and salt to their chips. Also something notable was the watermelon juice (?) not sure if that is the correct name (obviously not) but it was SO good - could not get enough of how refreshing it was!!!

I was in the mood for tacos and stopped by Navarro's taqueria last week. We got their birria tacos, carne asada fries, taquitos, and a carne asada quesadilla. I love that they give you a full cup of consomé with the tacos. Some places only give you a small cup. My daughter had the the beef taquitos and loved them. The carne asada fries are huge and loaded with toppings. They add pickled jalapenos which is different than the regular carne asada fries I get at other places, but it added a good taste to them. The carne asada quesadilla is huge and my son enjoyed it and had seconds for the next day. The restaurant has beautiful day of the dead murals and gives the restaurant a pop of color. They also had Christmas music playing and it had us in a festive holiday spirit. Enjoyed this taqueria and plan to be back soon.

We happen to be in the area and decided to try this spot for lunch. The people are friendly and helpful and the food is good. Birria tacos are good but a tad underseasoned for my taste. The consome had good flavor and I can imagine how it would taste with birria ramen - delicious. The potato and shrimp tacos were well fried and crunchy. The salsa they put on top was also good and had a fair amount of spice. The super fries were good as well. I like the type of potato wedges they used. Nice substantial wedges with a seasoned batter. The meat they use for asada was also fairly good quality meat. Very solid place. Seating is a bit limited inside but they also have tables outside.

If we had to debate if Spain or Mexican (Southern California) had better food, I would send the chefs at Navarro's Taqueria to the cooking competition! This place is good. I don't even know how to describe it. It's a hole in the wall. But with its own security fence private parking. The food is good. Wholesome ingredients. Even the salsa bar will have you dancing! I ordered tacos, it had the right amount of grease and balanced cilantro cheese and meats. Let's face it, if you are trying to lose weight you ain't eating this and probably very picky. But if you just want to please your palate, then you are coming here. They are also fast and friendly. They can serve your food on silverware but then you are losing authenticity. I bet you that if they served their food on a fancy table, you'd be happy paying $20-30 per plate.

This place has my FAVORITE BIRRIA TACOS!! They just do it so well here, trust me you just gotta try for yourself! 'Birria Combo A': 3 birria tacos, with a side of consome. The tacos were lightly crisp and the meat was nice and juicy! Dipped in the consome, it was packed with flavor, I literally could drink it by itself! 'Quesabirria': this was MASSIVE! The quesadilla was filled with birria meat and cheese, it was good but after a few bites I think the cheese was a bit overpowering. They have a self serve salsa bar as well, my favorites were the orange salsa if you like something spicy and the avocado salsa if you want something creamy! Plenty of inside and outside seating too, and service is pretty quick! Food is delicious, defiently my go to place that I recommend for birria tacos!!

Best freaking carne asada fries, green sauce, and pricing! You can't go wrong with this place to have a great meal. The only con I have is the limited parking this place. Overall asking for to go is not a big deal. The cucumber and lime aqua Fresca is so good. I will definitely be adding this place as a frequent restaurant to go to. Asking for a friend, can I take a banana/plantane tree home?

Wow!!! Another taco place in Santa Ana that's totally underrated. This place is so good! I came on a Tuesday night around 8pm and it was pretty empty, not too many seats inside, there's a good amount outside. I had the birria, carnitas, chicken, chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada. My fav was the birria, chorizo, and carnitas! They pack the tacos with meat & their sauces are fire. Literally so spicy, but so satisfying. They also have delicious Jalapeños and onions at the salsa bar. That's a must! I got the cucumber lime drink, so good! I'll definitely be back! There's parking in the back. Food was affordable for 2024.
