The food was delicious, the burritos there were huge! Very filling! the melted cheese was great, and they had Nostalgic Mexican music that reminded my grandson of his childhood grandpas house.Person at the cashier was super nice too, he explained to me what a Vampiro was, and was super nice to my grandson, he allowed him to try samples of the drinks and was smiling the whole time, treated us like family 10/10 would eat again

Holy cow, this was one of the best tacos I've had in a while. The chuleta (pork) was amazing! Actually, everything there was amazing. All their salsas tasted super fresh too. Tried their ribeye, chambarete, tripas taco on flour tortilla, was surprised how light and easier to eat (very good).For corn tortilla tacos, got the chuleta, chambarete, and asada taco, all were great. If you like tostada style with perfectly melted cheese add meat of choice, choreeada is the way to go.100% would definitely will Come back, the only drawback is everything is so good hard to pick before you get full.

If asian cuisine had a taco dish, it would be made like this! Our server was so awesome at explaining all their taco dishes. I decided on the 3 meat Choreada b/c I wanted something crunchy, and boy did I make the right decision! My Choreada was crunchy enough to make my mouth sing, but not crazy crunchy enough to break a tooth! Perfect!! This is my first Choreada ever, and I'm definitely a fan!! I had all 3 meats, chicken, pork, and steak, and they all went well together! Top it off with a mist of lime and salsa, and heaven is just a small crunchy bite away!

WOW wow wow wow. Damn this place blew us away. We got 2 asada tacos and a quesadilla con carne. The asada had no chewy parts, just all tender meat. The cold cilantro, onions and cabbage on the tacos with the hot meat under was the perfect combo. I read from other reviews that their pico was great, and I was surprised how good all their salsa were. Pico, salsa verde, aguacate and habanero, we tried them all. We live all the way in Long Beach but I would make the drive for this place! 12/10!

I first met the owner Auggie when he was running the Taco Connection truck on Central Ave. This is his brand new brick and mortar location at 120 S. Harbor. He's not running the truck regularly anymore and will primarily be selling food at this location. Don't sleep on this place...it's a gem. I can only imagine how crowded this place will get once more people find out about it.Taco Connection specializes in mesquite grilled Northern Mexican style food. You can get tortas, tacos, burritos, vampiros, chorreadas, mulitas, and quesadillas here. I've been visiting religiously and have tried every single item on the menu during this soft opening period, so here's my breakdown:MEATSChuletas: The star cut for me is chuletas aka pork chops. You don't see this often. It's mesquite grilled over charcoal and is fantastic. Perfectly charred and great texture. Chambarete: This is beef shank. Another cut you don't see often. Very tender and juicy. Ribeye:I'm not often a fan of "expensive" cuts of meats in tacos. Sometimes they are cooked too much just like a steak that should be eaten by itself. Not here though. The ribeye is both tender and has a nice charred chew you'd expect from carne asada in a taco. Chopped perfectly. Mixta:Mix of meats. I always get this on a vampiro or chorreada.KEY MENU ITEMSChorreadas:Similar to a vampiro, but with bits of pork lard added to the mix. It's so decadent but is balanced well by the smokiness of the meats and the excellent salsas they have. The thick fried corn tortilla is crispy and chewy, and has bits of chicharron mixed into the maza. Burritos:Ginormous burritos. Literally bigger than my arm.Tortas:Delicious bread and simple fillings. Not saturated with soggy lettuce and tomato like other places.SALSASVery authentic salsas. There's a pico with a nice kick to it for something refreshing and cool, an aguacate salsa (my favorite), and a delicious habanero salsa that pairs well with the richness of the meats. AGUASHorchata:Homemade horchata that has a slight hint of strawberries to it. Super refreshing. Pepino:Cucumber lemonade. Tart and refreshing. Nuff said.Jaimaica:Hibiscus isn't for everyone, but I personally love it and find it refreshing as well. I think there's some tamarind mixed in as well.I can't express how freaking delicious everything is here. Every single item on the menu hits the spot. I was pretty full eating a quesadilla, a taco, and a chorreada last time I was there, but I ended up eating another chorreada because it's just so damn tasty. Just do yourself a favor and go check it out asap. The word on Taco Connection is spreading fast, and they've already gotten huge shout-outs from established taquerias in the area, including Tacos el Gringo. Auggie and his staff are super friendly and want to make sure you're getting the most authentic flavors possible. PROTIP - Ask for the chili oil drizzle if you want some more smoky heat.
