What diners say — our read

This is what agreement looks like: high ratings, clean inspection. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (15 of 16). No one in this corpus comments on speed of service at all. Of the 16 rated reviews, 15 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (99/100) with 1 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was December 12, 2025. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. That puts it ahead of 87% of graded kitchens in Orange County. For specifics, the last inspection cited insects/rodents/pests and exits not blocked or locked (reporting only).

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    We went here after going to Universal. Hit the spot!! Nachos with chicken and taco salad. Great prices for large portions. We were also checked on multiple times by multiple servers. Very helpful. Will be back!

    Definitely seemed like a spot for thr locals. So when you're near by, stop on in for some sloppy tacos and good beer options.

    Okay I've been here twice now. You think I would have learned from the first time but no I went for it again. When they call this place sloppy Taco Palace they are not kidding. I have a full beard roughly a footlong and I go through about a dozen napkins eating my dinner. But you know what totally worth it tacos you're a great the owners a nice guy drinks are reasonably priced everything about this place is exactly what you're looking for in a local taco shop. You got to check it out you won't regret it
