Alegro Taco Bar

I had no idea what I was missing out on until today! My wife and I went for a walk, as we live just down the street, and stumbled upon Alegro Taco Bar--a hidden gem I had driven past at least 100 times in the past year. Located right across from the college, I've seen businesses come and go in this spot, but I finally decided to stop in, and wow, I'm glad I did.From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly staff member who recommended their Carnitas and Carne Asada tacos. I ordered two tacos on homemade tortillas, and let me tell you--this was an absolute win. The tortillas were fresh, the meat was high-quality, and the flavors were on point. Everything tasted authentic, fresh, and made with care.I don't typically go out of my way to write reviews, but this place deserves the recognition. If you haven't tried Alegro Taco Bar yet, don't sleep on it--you're seriously missing out! Highly recommend.

Alegro Taco Bar is right across the street from the college. There is a parking lot behind, but I find it easier to park in front in Chapman, that's just limited to 5 or so cars. It's a small place with limited seating inside and outside. Service was quick and responsive, portion sizes generous for the price, flavor on the protein was robust, a great experience all around.Alegro offers different Mexican proteins, and many vehicles to get that into your mouth. The tacos are so large that 2 is probably good for an average adult. I love chorizo and found that here it's strongly flavored and also not oily, hard to do but Alegro accomplishes it. The Al Pastor has a sauce that is more peppers than pineapple, but there is swim sweetness at the end of the bite and I did enjoy it too. Lastly the carnitas is cooked and falls apart easily. All three proteins were great as is (with some cilantro and onions), I didn't think they needed any salsa. Salsas include tomatillo, and mild/medium/hot.

Solid spot for Taco Tuesdays. They have 20% off tacos on Tuesdays. The staff was super nice, friendly, and attentive. The meat portions are generous. The options are very customizable. I really liked how they had handmade tortillas as an option. They also had homemade chips too!There's a few tables inside and some outdoor patio seating. It's not a large restaurant. There's street parking or nearby parking structures.

This is a hidden gem in Fullerton for tacos and burritos. The carnitas and al pastor tacos were fire. Also got a carnitas quesadilla that was super bomb. To top it off, they have churro ice cream sundaes. Forget about it. You gotta try this spot.

The carne asada tacos were great and service was fast and kind you should try. And quick

1st time here and let me say, you won't be disappointed. Shout out to to Ricardo for the recommendations and information on catering. Location was clean, ambience was lively and my Al pastor burrito had an authentic Mexican taste. Meat was seasoned, rice was not dry and the salsa was just

Very generous with their meats so that's a plus! Order at counter and staff bring out food. 20% Discount for student with proof of school. Pretty nice! I'd totally go here often if I was still in school nearby.:PHand Made Tortilla Tacos- THE BEST! I always love hand made tortilla and order it whenever it is offered. It was soft, tasted fresh and pastor was flavorful and tender - my favorite here. Asada was not my taste here - it was not as flavorful as pastor but my family loved it regardless. Quesadilla: with cheese and Asada. We had tasted better one in Santa Ana. It was all right here and the amount was generous for sure. We could not finish and packed it for to-go. Next time, I would ask as if it would be made with hand made tortilla instead of regular: ) Sprinkle with lettuce inside and a whip of sour cream. Tacos (regular) - Asada & Pastor: I did not enjoy it as much as the hand made tortilla tacos. Meats were tender and flavorful - same as above. Rice & Beans: on the side. I rarely order these but thought I'd give it a try. It was all right. I probably stick to hand made tortilla tacos. It was HOT inside the restaurant. Kudos to the staff who work there in that heat! Luckily it was a cool Saturday afternoon so I sat outside. However, the flies were too friendly here so I did not like that very much - eating and fighting off flies outside. The inside was clean and staff were very cordial and patient with orders.Parking - just drive around the back. It was pretty empty on a late Saturday afternoon so I did not have any trouble at all.

Despite there being a ton of Mexican spots in the area, not many places make fresh and flavorful tacos. You have the cheap spots that are a dime a dozen and the "modern" expensive places that leave you underwhelmed.I was really pleased to discover the food here is not only affordable but tasty and made with love. They don't just throw the tacos together. It's very clean inside and comfortable to dine in. There is a restroom in the back if you ask. My favorite was the al pastor. I don't always like pork because of the smell, however, this one luckily had no unpleasant one. The soyrizo potato was great as well. Not too salty, which is important. Wasn't a fan of the carne asada, but not a big deal. Loved the homemade guacamole and chips. Their salsa is fantastic! They have several options and my favorite was probably the verde one. Service was hospitable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this hidden gem!

The Mrs. and I had lunch today at Alegro Taco Bar. We arrived around 11:30 and were the only diners. The menu at Alegro is simple and very reasonably priced(20% off if you present a student ID). The Mrs. and I each ordered the taco plate which came with two tacos, rice, and beans for $9.99. I had a chicken taco and a carnitas taco and the Mrs. had a beef taco, al pastor taco, and a carnitas taco. All of our tacos were good but I think the star of the show was the carnitas tacos. Just a lot of good flavor and the addition of salsa made the carnitas even better. The rice and beans were good as well. We also ordered a side of guacamole and chips which was good.I recommend you order the tacos with the homemade tortillas which are incredible.The service we received was great. The guy behind the counter was really friendly. We sat outside and it was the perfect setting. Our food was brought to us on Mexican clay pottery plates which was nice. Better than paper or styrofoam plates which seems to be the norm.The location of Alegro Taco Bar is kind of inconspicuous. It is across the street from Fullerton College next to Subway and a tea place. Parking is available on the street and in the small parking lot located next to and behind the building.
