This review is mostly on their menudo they have it fresh and serve it with fresh hand made tortillas one of the best I have had besides the menudo place in Tijuana near Otay, its a little pricey and the portions are kind of small but it’s worth it The tacos at this place are ok as well they use regular big size tortillas or fresh hand made as well for a little extra this place is small I usually just go here when I crave menudo

I’ll admit it, I happily dish out $ 3 per taco at the Soho Taco truck every time I’m lucky enough to spot it. When I heard that they’re somehow related to Reyna Market, I made plans to stop by. I’m so glad I did. First off, the tortillas?(Handmade) the same. Flavorful, strong enough that you don’t have to double up, yet softer than any other. Well worth the tiny upcharge from whatever their standard tortilla might be. We also ordered some of the pollo asado(different than the truck, yet still moist and delicious), al pastor(just okay, dense flavor but a little dry), and carne asada(better than the truck — better seasoned, tender). Months ago, we tried El Toro Bravo in Costa Mesa, based on the amazing Unilocal reviews of their carne asada, and came away not just unimpressed, but repulsed. I don’t know if I just have weird taste in carne asada, or they just had a bad day, but grey and flavorless meat gets thrown away. It was the opposite here… simply awesome. Of course, the green(jalapeño) salsa was there. I’d drink that stuff I I wouldn’t burn up. Same chips too — fresh, thick but not hard, perfectly salted. There are a few benches and tables outside, where we were besieged by flies and some bees, but at this value, who cares?! I’m on my way home now, with a couple of pounds of the carne asada, pollo asado, a bunch of those handmade tortillas, and some menudo. Yes, this is in top of the tacos I already had. There was also some great looking chicharones and carnitas… Those will have to wait until my next trip back, and it will be soon. EDIT: Just got home with the menudo — yeah, I’ll be getting more of that next time too. Stuffed from lunch and I can stop myself from taking just… one… more… spoonful.

I’ve been in search of good street tacos in Santa Ana and was so excited to find this little gem. Maybe I ordered the wrong meats but I got al pastor & carnitas and boy, they were both dry, tough and lacked flavor. Plus, they charge 1.85 or so for a taco that’s not even great. The winner of the meal was the guacamole. $ 3 for 8oz and served with thick cut chips. It was made fresh to order: P I would come back just for the guac.

So… huge bummer… had some carnitas tacos and a fish taco and lets just say that it didnt agree with my stomach… more than anything has ever disagreed with my stomach. Like… kept me out of work disagreed. Buddy went a few weeks later and had exact same issue. He had a cabeza taco. Sad because i really did enjoy this place but im not willing to risk putting myself through that again. Maybe for the chips, great chips.
