El Campeon Carniceria

5 stars alone for just the price!The portions are pretty good too!The asada burrito is good and comes with a side salad. It's about $10 and is very filling.

I wanted to try this Meat Spot for a While. Today I did I bought 3lbs of Ranchera Prime, the Texture of the Meat is Good, but the SEASONING it's little Onion or Galic strong. I also bought a Lengua Burrito it was OK. It had to much spices on something, don't know if the Rice or Meat. The beans were little to Dry. But there Ok. Price is Good but I think Robert Could Do Better..

So I ordered carnitas tacos and something else was inside.. like salmon looking( not what I ordered) thin sliced slime and or something? Is was hot (not spicy) so I was eating it and almost through(half-way) that's when I noticed it... I had already left and gone back to work... I am not sure if I will order from here again.. tbh.. if I do I am going to be right there when they make it.. let's just say it will be a while before I recover from this. When a customer asks for carnitas and says onions and cilantro- that is all that should be inside the tacos- nothing else, no surprises ...I Still prefer el Toro bravo.. the place could sure use some cleaning and updating... I feel sick

Great tacos!! I'm a big fan of the tacos al pastor. I highly recommend this business for their Mexican food and at a phenomenal price

Tried buche, cabeza, birria, and carnitas tacos. The tacos were huge. All were good. Guacamole was awesome too. I will return for a burrito shortly. Maybe even tonight.

This place has the best fast Mexican food in the OC. The carnitas torta is THE BEST.

They don't cater to customers, in tacos Tuesday ! They are far right rude even when you speak the language... so moral of the story don't go on taco Tuesday

I eat bírria tacos daily. I travel all over for work, and so when I paid over $4 per taco, I expected good. First bite was into a bone. It's mostly gristle. Even smells funky like parts not meat. The ambiance in the place is asleep. The women can't make eye contact. It's unclear how to order. Not ok. Sadly.
