Customer Review
The best street tacos I’ve found in the Fullerton area. My favorite is carnitas, husband is obsessed with al pastor, but we’ve had chorizo, carne asada, and chicken before too and love them all. They always come loaded with cilantro and onion, and they give you tons of limes on the side. Love this place. Try it.
There’s nothing better than supporting a local restaurant while satisfying your taco craving. Poncho’s Tacos is located at 343 S. Stage College Blvd. here in Fullerton, CA. Their authentic tacos are made fresh to order, and they are working on new recipes. They are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

Try the Al Pastor Taco to taste their most popular taco flavor. If you love seafood, try the delicious Shrimp Taco or Fish Taco. The Asada Taco is also a great choice if you enjoy avocado and cilantro. When you aren’t craving tacos, Ponchos also has burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tortas, and plates.
Customer Review
This place has amazing tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and anything else on the menu!!! There is never a long line, but the food is incredible. The staff is always happy and friendly and quick to make your order. They have great “taco Tuesday” specials, but the prices are very good all week long! Definitely worth going to taste the pineapple salsa too!
Homemade chips, salsas, and fresh every time! You will not regret going here.

Customer Review
What can I say about Tacos Los Cholos that hasn’t already been said. This place is phenomenal. Had it for the first time the other day and it blew me away. I had a mulita with Al Pastor and one with Asada. Both of which are quite big and practically a quesadilla. They tasted awesome and I could tell the quality of meat here is very good.
I also love how they have a little salsa bar with all kinds of different salsas, and chili peppers, onions, limes, etc.

Customer Review
Tried this place out for the first time today after my sister recommended it and I loved it. I haven’t had a good wet burrito from any taco shops around my area untill now. I definitely recommend this place, everyone was really friendly especially one of the guys there, I didn’t get his name but he went that extra mile to make sure we got my other pregnant sister a spicy hot sauce for her tacos so we really appreciate that! Service was fast and everything was fresh! Thank u so much we will be coming back!! — Ericka G.

Customer Review
The best tacos in/near downtown Fullerton. When I first moved to Fullerton a couple years ago, I made it my mission to find a local taco place and this place was the winner (even next to the taco place right across the street). Tacos have loads of meat and flavor, and salsas are on point as well.
Regardless of which of these five delicious taco spots you decide to try, Uptown Fullerton is the perfect place for you to enjoy tacos with your loved ones. Bring your meal to our courtyard, where you can sit and enjoy the warm weather.
After eating, go to one of the three resort-style pools to cool off, play a game of tennis or volleyball at our courts, or rest in the resident lounge. Our full-service, high-end apartment complex has everything you are looking for—from entertainment to great amenities. Come and see for yourself, and don’t forget to stop by one of these amazing Mexican restaurants for a bite on the way!
