We were looking to get a dozen rellenos, a dozen tamales, and some tacos on a Saturday afternoon. No rellenos and no tamales available, so went with asada and pastor tacos. These are full sized tacos, not the street taco tiny variety, and all came with a double layer of tortillas. The tacos were tender and tasty overall, and the salsa that came with them was really good, packing plenty of heat. My only small complaint was that the cilantro and onion they provided were good for about a fourth of the tacos. Just not anywhere near enough for 40 tacos. Everyone was happy with them, so will try again on the rellenos and tamales.

I like this place, especially their carne Asada tacos! Their tacos are amazing, tastes really good. Waiters are really nice, very inviting to people like us.

First off, who doesn't love Taco Tuesdays? And loaded with a bunch of meat? AND 3 for $5?!!!! My co worker has been talking about this place for a while now and though I normally prefer to bring my lunch, today I finally gave in. Might I add - I was not disappointed at all. They cook their meats fresh in the kitchen and you can see them cooking which is pretty nice. Nelly's Tacos is located inside of a Mexican Market called Mercado El Rey. You can do a little shopping while you're waiting for your tacos too (I got some homemade pork rinds from the market which are pretty good too). My co worker and I got carne asada tacos while the other opted for their al pastor. I tried some of the al pastor and was sad I didn't get any myself. Also, we paid the extra $1 for their hot chili oil which was pretty interesting. It's not too spicy at first - has a nice bite to it. But beware. A little goes a long way. The spice will slowly creep up to you haha. All in all, I would definitely come back here and I'm glad I finally decided to try this place out!

It's Taco Tuesday, and my newest finding takes place at this little taco shop located inside a Mexican grocery store called, "Mercado El Rey". They're located inside a medium-sized shopping plaza off of El Toro Rd. in Lake Forest. Perhaps the most well-known business in that plaza is El Toro Meat Co., or the ladies may recognize Jeffrey Michaels Salon as a landmark. Plenty of parking is available in the shared lot.Step inside Mercado El Rey, head straight to the back in the right corner, and you'll find a petite woman smiling behind the counter. My guess is that she is "Nelly". The Taco Tuesday special is 3 tacos for $5, which is quite a deal! They don't have a large variety of meats - your choices are carnitas, al pastor, chicken and carne asada. I ordered 1 carnitas, 1 al pastor and 1 chicken. My husband got 2 al pastor and 1 carnitas. It comes with onions, cilantro & lime on top, with 2 small tortillas underneath. You also get your choice of red or green sauce.After you order and pay for your tacos with Nelly, stand back and watch the magic happen. A lady and man come out of nowhere and start grilling the meats. About 10 minutes later, they'll wrap up your tacos in foil, label them and send you on your way. There are no seats inside to eat, so plan to get them to go.Shockingly, my favorite taco was the chicken. I don't typically order chicken tacos at an authentic Mexican place, but boy was it delicious! My 2nd favorite would be the al pastor. It was very flavorful. The carnitas, on the other hand, was rather dry. I would skip that next time. In addition to their tacos, they also have burritos, nachos, tortas, chile rellenos, menudo, quesadillas, tamales, chilaquiles and other authentic items. They also do catering! Pro Tip: If you go there on Taco Tuesday, get there early! There was already a small line forming before I left, and I was there well before the dinner hour. I'd give the tacos 4.5 stars overall. Check them out if you're in the area. You can't go wrong with 3 tacos for $5!

Full bar, authentic food, real hot sauce .... This place is rad. Like a Mexican regal beagle

Awesome street tacos. They also serve various Mexican dishes. It's a small take out restaurant inside a Mexican market. I love the market as well. The food is fresh and delicious. Service is friendly. Good quality homemade food and good prices served with a smile. My go to place for meat tacos.

Carnitas Taco is good and tasty. You could order all meats by the weight. Salsa sauces are spicy. Good customer services

Taco Tuesday. Street tacos three for $6 now plus tax. Tried chicken and Al pastor as recommended by another post. They were good. Better with red sauce.

Little pricey but worth it. Best tacos I've had in Orange County!! I get the three tacos combination with two chicken, one carne asada, rice and beans. If you're craving tacos this is the spot. Enjoy!!
