Tacompadre - Santa Ana

Comfy place, amazing food, and kind staff… the lady who took our order was so helpful and sweet, thank you so much! We had pastor and birria tacos and just wish this place existed back home — definitely try it out!

No idea why place is rated so high. If you want Midwest style Mexican in Santa Ana go here. You will be transported to a landlocked state. Tacos were bland and look nothing like their reference photos. Got two taco plates and the fries. Everything was very watery and unseasoned. Beans had no flavor and rice was super salty, no flavor. We got the birria, sweet pulled pork, carne asada, fried brisket. All of it was under seasoned and disappointing. They also messed up our taco order, but we couldn’t tell which was supposed to be which because flavors were so not distinctive and bland. Two star because they do have a salsa bar with good pickle pineapple and mole salsa. Fries were soggy and watery tasting from bad beans and gross nacho cheese. Bad ratio of fries and meat. You can get better elsewhere.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tacompadre in Santa Ana, and I can't stop thinking about the delicious tacos and nacho fries. This hidden gem is a true delight for anyone seeking a genuine taste of Mexican street food. The star of the show was undeniably the tacos. Bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients, they definitely reminded me of delicious tacos from Mexico City. From the succulent carne asada to the flavorful al pastor, each taco was a testament to Tacompadre's commitment to authenticity. The nacho fries were a delightful surprise and a perfect accompaniment to the tacos. I chose pastor as my meat of choice and they were they were topped with cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. The combination of textures and flavors was a party in my mouth, leaving me craving more. What sets Tacompadre apart is not just the exceptional food but also the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. The restaurant's dedication to authenticity shines through in every aspect, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Mexico City street food in Santa Ana.
