Tacos Los Cholos

Papa Loka is absolute FIREEEE!!! More than enough to share, I struggled to eat half of it after giving a good third of the meat (I chose asada) to my dog. Going on the recommendations of previous reviewers, I added chimichurri sauce (you'll want two sauce cups of that) and found that a bit of avocado salsa added a nice touch. There was tons of gooey browned cheese. I added extra butter which probably wasn't necessary, and wondered if I should have paid the extra dollar for extra sour cream. Others have enjoyed adding guac but I feel like that would have been overkill, just a hint of avocado salsa was plenty of the avo vibe imo.Came around 10p on a Monday night and there was no line; my food was ready before I was done filling salsa cups at the salsa bar. Didn't catch the name of the girl who took my order but her smile lit up my night. It's nice to see someone so genuinely happy at her job.Can't wait to come back and try the other menu items! Thank you to everyone involved with this business. Best experience I've had in the area and I've lived here for almost 7 years.

Mija brought me TLC from Anaheim, and I have been trying to find the right time to hit this newer location in HB. I was in the area @ 11 am when TLC opens, so I finally had the chance.I ordered 3 tacos: Adobada, carne asada and chorizo. The meat is nicely seasoned/marinated, and charred nicely on a grill that goes up and down. In addition, TLC gives a lot of meat. I was content after eating the tacos w/ no sides. Not pictured is my rellie's chorizo mulita ($7.35), that I had a bite of. The mulita was packed w/ chorizo, and was a meal on its own.Regarding the ambiance, its casual here. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. There is an extensive salsa and condiment bar.My order took a while, although I was one of the first customers. It was prolly due to waiting for the grilled meats to come hot off the fire. Nonetheless, I did notice multiple customers who arrived after me, receiving their food b4 me. A lot of them had grilled meat also. Two guys who ordered b4 me were still wtg for their food when I left.TLC is way better vs Primecut around the corner. The meats taste great, and the portions are generous. I'll have to come a little later in the day when the meats are all ready.

Good tacos - need to upgrade from the base level proteins. The steak is better than the beef and is really tasty - worth the upgrade.Tasty tacos and nice salsa bar.

Carne asada cooked over mesquite wood! Wonder how that tastes like? I thought the same! Great thing about this place is the open sauce bar! All the sauce, salsa, onion and cilantro that you want!The carne asada taco with guacamole is what I got and it was delicious!!! The tortilla tasted fresh, the meat was good with the mesquite taste along with the good sauce. Couldn't have asked for more! The staff was really nice! Parking by is available in the parking structure across the way. Easy access.

Tacos los cholos! The best tacos in town! They never miss! Their tacos are always premium, the quality is unmatched. I love the quality of the meat, toppings, and even drinks! The vibe is so laid back and chill. The service up front is always top notch! I would recommend here for your next taco night!

The tacos here are amazing! The quality and portions are just as good as the other locations in OC that I've been to. I stopped by for Taco Tuesday and got several tacos for their $2 deal. All my tacos were delicious and my favorite of the three options I got was the adobada which is what they are known for.The salsa bar was clean and was loaded with all the salsas and fresh vegetables that you could top your tacos with. My favorite is their habanero salsa which is on the creamier side and packs a punch of heat. The tortillas here are fresh as they should be and the staff are quick with getting your food out and constantly refilling the salsa bar and cleaning tables.The lines move quick here and I've never waited more than 15-20 minutes for my order even when it gets super busy. The smell when you walk in is always good with the meats cooking on the grill and it's a great spot for lunch or dinner!If you are in HB, you have to come here for their delicious tacos!

My old buddy chose this place because he liked the name so much. I offered to buy him lunch here because of all the 5 star reviews! We parked easily just across Main Street in front of the 31 FlavorsThis block is just across from the pier. The area was deserted at noon this Tuesday. When we walked through the door the place was rocking!We quickly order a couple of mesquite grilled meat filled burritos and a couple of diet cokes. We are simple men. There is a thrilling condiment bar. I have included couple of pics. Those burritos were first class, mine was loaded with diced grilled chicken, my buddy got the marinated grilled chopped pork. We just inhaled them with lots of pico and salsa.The service was excellent, the prices were fair the attitude was chill and happy. These guys are doing it the right way!

One of my fav taco places and I I've eaten a carga de cula ( butt load) of tacos in my life! This round - Mar y Tierra - shrimp and ribeye with cheese and arrachara with cheese and both slapped. Always con queso as it's da bomb. Hot tip from a frugal older hambre trying to save a some dough ($) and calories. Bag up a S***load of cukes and use them instead of chip! P.S. my kids taught me some of this lingo...lol!

Visiting and was craving tacos. Found this place and it definitely lives up to its 5 stars. Service is quick! Was confused at first by " regular , premium , prime" but it's different meats in different category prices. I've never seen this be done before but it's clever since some carne's do cost more. The place is very popular and packed inside. We ate outside but the weather was nice and cool.

The tacos are soooo good here. There is also pizza and stuffed potatos. Super popular and busy. Get ahm on everything you can trust me you will love it!
