Taco Life Mexican Grill

The joke is that I've been to this same address three different times over the years, and each time I've been to a different Mexican eatery; this place has been home to three different Mexican restaurants, but I'm really hoping Taco Life Mexican Grill is here to stay--it's THAT good!I tried the Super Nachos with Al Pastor, and wow, what a feast! The plate was loaded with beans, extra cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, crisp and flavorful jalapeños, sour cream, and their special sauce. Every bite was incredible. The Al Pastor was perfectly seasoned and absolutely fantastic--hands down some of the best I've had in OC. The whole plat of nachos was generously portioned, fresh, and totally satisfying!The store was clean and inviting, with a friendly crew who knew the menu inside and out. They helped me figure out exactly what I wanted, making my first visit here a great experience.Parking is still just adequate--typical plaza planning--but that's no fault of the restaurant. Sitting inside, I enjoyed a nice view of the Chapman Avenue race track (if you drive here, you know what I mean...), and the overall ambiance was relaxed and welcoming.There's so much more on the menu that I can't wait to try. This place is a definite win, and I'll absolutely be back!

It's nice to see a that the old Chronic Taco has been replaced by another taco joint!They have a Taco Tuesday special-- $2.50 per taco with your choice of beef/chicken/pork. It's a little confusing because it's a smaller version of the regular menu tacos (4" vs 6" tortilla), which can also be ordered on Tuesday. The full size tacos can be ordered with fish/shrimp as well.I had the Cali burrito and enjoyed it thoroughly! It was bigger than expected but not overwhelmingly large. I liked that it had a creamy/tangy sauce inside (like an Ensenada style fish taco sauce). I ordered mine without sour cream, which was a good call considering the creamy sauce. To really go overboard, I also ordered one Taco Tuesday al pastor taco. It's a deal at $2.50, but it wasn't anything special. No pineapple and I would prefer onion/cilantro rather than pico de gallo on top. Overall, everything was really good, but there are so many good taco joints that it's hard to stand out. I'd be curious to see what others think. I'll likely end up here again, but more out of convenience than a burning desire.

I stopped by Taco Life in Tustin on my way to dinner with friends in Laguna, needing a quick bite since I had missed lunch. While it was a bit out of the way, I was glad I chose it over fast food. I ordered the Carne Asada Taco for $5, and my partner got the BRC burrito (Beans, Rice, Cheese)= $18 out the door. I was expecting the kind of street food you'd get from a food truck; you know small tacos w 2 tortillas but after seeing the price I knew it would've been the bigger tortilla. The Carne Asada Taco came in a generous portion, and while the tortilla was good, the asada could have been more tender. My partner found the BRC burrito to be okay, but it had too much rice and not enough beans and cheese to create a balanced flavor.The reason I'm giving this place 4/5, it's a new establishment and despite the decent food, is due to a concerning hygiene issue I witnessed. I noticed one of the workers grabbed the trash while wearing gloves and then returned to food prep without changing them. Proper hygiene practices are essential in any food establishment, especially for those with food handler's cards.

Place was really good ! Service was great we will definitely go back . The nachos are awesome.

My family came into town and based off reviews chose this for our lunch spot and it was delicious. I had the Cali burrito, it was yummy. My cousin had the taquitos, they looked delicious! As did their quesadilla and tacos. Everyone was happy! The staff was also super friendly! The next time I'm in that area I will definitely go back!

I only had Quesabirria tacos and they were delicious. I'm already thinking of when to go back. it's out of my way, but it's worth the 25 minute drive. Staff was good too.

Wow. Above and beyond service. I came in 5 minutes after close and they still served me. I had a huge, delicious pastor burrito. Bag of chips. Fresh pico. Great red hot sauce. Nice Mexican joint for the local community. Thanks for staying open past close. Best wishes.

Really clean, quick and delicious! Love supporting a family run business. Def a must try and they have a Taco Tuesday deal The only negative is that it's next to my pilates studio so dangerous for me...

I had their chorizo and egg burrito - it was delish!!!! Staff is so nice also. I'm already thinking of when I can get another burrito which pretty much says addiction.

The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very clean and inviting. Give it a try!
