Taco Mesita - Taco restaurant in Tustin - 765 El Camino Real, USA

My first experience at this place was on Tacos Tuesday, accompanied by my amazing coworkers. I must say, I was absolutely delighted by the mouthwatering steak and al pastor tacos. And let's not forget the cherry on top - the price on Tuesday was unbelievably affordable! The $2 margarita was an absolute steal and added a delightful touch to the whole experience. Needless to say, I am already planning my next visit because the entire experience left me craving for more.

Small menu, BIG FLAVOR! Went on a Friday for an early lunch and they weren’t super busy. The staff there including the chef/owner were very helpful and kind in deciding what to order. Chips and salsa were addicting, so save room for those tacos. I highly recommend the pollo and breakfast chorizo tacos. Two tacos will leave you full and excited to come back the next time for more!

There were two super friendly folks I talked to, going through the drive through...Both addressed me by name, and both were interested in my day and my particular experience at this location. I look forward to coming back, absolutely! The food is next level as well. I spent about $20, got two fresh tacos, 2 taquitos, and elote, all of which was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back for their happy hour margaritas too!

Fresh, wood fire meats, tacos, breakfast menu and more. Tacos are upscale including ingredients like cilantro pickled onions, charred citrus corn relish and pineapple cactus relish. Mid century-like patio with big orange umbrellas and tropical plants has quality sound system playing ultra cool vibe music. Taco Tuesdays and late night taco specials. I just moved to Tustin and love this place because high standards in cuisine, freshness, service, cleanliness and style are evident and consistent!

Great casual fast taco restaurant. Fun tacos and very good burritos. I had the steak burrito and it was awesome. Filled with tasty wood fired steak, not a ton of rice and beans like normal. Drive through or sit outside at thief tables. Awesome experience.

Super nice taco place with great chill atmosphere! The place is VERY clean, kitchen is huge and you can see the cooking so that’s definitely a huge plus. They also have drive thru and patio area ! We tried all tacos and they exceeded our expectations! The steak taco was charred but tender, chicken was very juicy and tender, love the tangy citrusy corn garnish too. The Al pastor was really nice too, and you can even opt to replace the pork with more veggies!! The tacos all come with a side of salsa with two choices- smoked tomato and whipped jalapeño, both were very unique All snacks we tried were great as well, the churros was crispy and delicious right out of the oven! All in all a 5 star, the portion is a bit on the small side but the meat is actually pretty sufficient!

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it. The atmosphere was great and loved the vibe. Super cute place (check out the bathroom as well for the fun everything is peach color). The staff was also super friendly and nice. Food was super good. Burrito was delicious, the corn on the cob was amazing. Def a must. Tacos were good. Chicken one had a great flavor but I bit a bone and hurt my tooth and got a bit worried so finished rest with a fork. They need to watch for bones better as this was pretty large and a bit of a choking hazard for kids; or just a pain to bite on and hit a tooth on. But accidents happen. I would def be back. And order two corn on the cobs next time. But I may avoid the chicken for the bone problem; so if you get it bite slowly to be safe. Overall cute place and great food other than one small issue.

I really wanted to love this restaurant, but I knew what to expect going in. I had read other reviews and knew the portions were supposedly smaller than what you would normally find elsewhere. That was somewhat true. The burritos are definitely skinnier than you would get at other restaurants. The tacos however, were a bit larger and were on blue corn tortillas. They definitely use higher quality ingredients here. It's very obvious. What didn't work for me were the flavors. I am somewhat open to trying new flavor combinations with Mexican food. That's mostly thanks to Taco Maria (RIP) going back to their food truck days. The flavors just didn't work for me here. Just know going in that the food is different than you get at most Mexican restaurants. The parking situation also isn't great. They have a small parking lot for the restaurant that's connected to a larger strip mall parking lot. The restaurant's parking lot was full although there were only a few people at the restaurant so I'm not sure what that was about. It wasn't all negative for me though. The service was spectacular. Everybody truly seemed to enjoy their job and went out of their way to help out a first timer with what to order. The restaurant itself is also photo worthy. This definitely seems like a place that an influencer would love to take some photos. Whether that's good or bad is up to you but I definitely appreciate the vibe of the place.
