Ponchos Tacos - Mexican restaurant in Fullerton - 343 S State College Blvd, USA

This is my favorite taco place ! They really are the best tacos in town! The flavor is great, staff is friendly and the place is very clean. They have a lot of variety as well. Salsas are tasty too. They were closed for a few weeks and I was going crazy because I really can’t get enough of this place! Glad to be back!

Tried this place for the first time today. I have been trying every taco place near work. So far, this place is #1 on my list. Taco Tuesday was great as I always get beef tacos. El Cantarito did not have beef taco for Taco Tuesday (what???) so I liked the fact that this place included beef taco. Beef in the taco were very soft compared to other places including Hole Mole. I am definitely coming back every Tuesday! Beans were good. Only complain I have is that rice was too salty.

I really like Taco Tuesdays so I eat tacos almost every Tuesday. I have tried tacos from quite a few taco places ranging from Orange County to San Diego over the years. When it comes to tacos, I prefer the traditional Mexican-style with meat, onions, cilantro, and salsa piled high on a corn tortilla over the Americanized versions loaded with lettuce, cheese, and other toppings. Even though I am not Mexican and have never actually been to Mexico to authentically experience tacos, I still pride myself on knowing what good, flavorful tacos taste like. Ponchos Tacos is located in a shopping mall in an industrial complex so it's not directly accessible from the main road (State College Blvd) resulting in fewer visitors due to the location in a less crowded shopping mall. When I visited, I was the only customer. Based on the location, it seemed like a place focused more on lunch than dinner business. The interior atmosphere was nothing fancy, very much a common street restaurant vibe focused on takeout. However, Ponchos Tacos' carne asada tacos were the most delicious I've had in the past few years. The prices are also cheap - Taco Tuesdays are $1.75 per taco. But the taco flavor is unmatched. The beans were also tasty. However, the rice was too salty for my taste. Overall, if you are in search of a delicious taco in the East Fullerton area, I highly recommend Ponchos Tacos. And when you pick up your order, don't forget to hit the salsa bar next to the counter to load up your tacos with some extra flavor!

This place is a hidden gem - so much flavor! The tortillas are good - pretty sure they make them in house. The meats are well seasoned and cooked properly, and the salsa bar has several good options. I love their extra spicy salsa! Seriously one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Southern California. I come here about twice a month and it’s always on point with that home made flavor. Way better than most places around here. Prices are great too!

It’s my first time here. So I ordered five out of the seven types of tacos. They are all pretty good though I can’t tell which one is which. So I am going to strongly recommend their shrimp taco. Fresh juicy crunchy shrimps. Another patron spilled his on the floor by accident. They not only clean up right away, also give him another order free of charge. Great service. Great tacos.

Updated Tried this place for the first time, didn't disappoint at all. The meats are done exactly how they're supposed to be. The texture of the lengua was perfect, al pastor was so tender and flavorful, the Asada is actual STEAK, the chorizo was perfect, my favorite type of chorizo! Definitely my new go to spot! This place was awesome the first time I had it, but every time since then they've been putting avocado sauce on my tacos when I ask for them not to. I literally told the guy NO GUACAMOLE ON ANY OF MY TACOS, my chorizo tacos still had them. Sadly I'm just not going to deal with this place anymore...

I ordered 3 tacos and I immediately got 3 more. I'd highly recommend this taco shop.

I loved the tostadas plain. Asada diced nachos would be popular at a local high school game for sure. Tacos I give a 3 as they require a bit more flavor to my taste. Also, the salsa’s are to watered down and need more flavor. Not a fan of the Al pastor. Would not return because I’m a selective with how food is prepared.
