Xclusive Taqueria Moderna

The best Mexican cuisine in South Orange County! You must try the Skirt Steak Lollipop and their Tamarindo margaritas! It's a very laid-back place, perfect for a quick bite or a nice sit-down meal.

My family and I have visited this restaurant for the second time, and we can honestly say we are now big fans! A few months ago, our son-in-law and daughter recommended this restaurant to us since they live in the area and have always had great experiences here. Last night, we had a delicious dinner. We started off with some Grilled Pineapple Margaritas (my favorite), Cadillac Margaritas, and Model Especial beers, accompanied by Guacamole with chips, salsa, and warm bean dip. Our main dishes included Skirt Steak Lollipops (absolutely delicious), Shrimp Tacos combo, Skillet Tacos Al pastor, and Churros, all of which were fantastic in both presentation and flavor. Our server, Alejandro G., was welcoming, attentive, and friendly, making our dining experience enjoyable and fun. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant again and again! Keep up the great work!! Two thumbs up.

What can I say?... delicious food and VERY friendly staff (Carlos what a great guy who made this a very special meal). I recommend the guacamole to start. Great salsa, beans and chips too. Then there's the pork belly taco, which I was VERY happy with. My wife got the calamari taco... had a taste. All delicious. We WILL be back. Also, sitting out on the patio on a nice warm afternoon just rounded out the experience.

Love this place! Cozy and very good Mexican food with kind staff. This was a positive addition to Ladera Ranch!

I am amazed by this incredible Mexican restaurant in Ladera Ranch! The mole verde sauce is absolutely to die for, rivaling even Javier's. The enchiladas are filled with white meat chicken and cheese, wrapped in delicious tortillas, and topped with your choice of sauce. The margaritas are fantastic, especially the skinny spicy version. The staff, from the manager to the waiters to the bartender, always greet us with smiles and make us feel welcome. Without a doubt, this is our favorite spot in Ladera!
