The Original Taco Factory

A tiny unassuming Mexican restaurant with warm, welcoming service and delicious food at reasonable prices. I tried the Famous Burrito with carne asada and black beans -- it did not disappoint! The portion was generous, and the carne asada was perfectly seasoned and tender.They have a small condiment bar offering a variety of fresh toppings like roasted jalapeños, cilantro, limes, onions, pickled carrots, radishes, and a selection of salsas ranging from mild to hot. The red salsa packs a bold, spicy punch, while the green salsa offers a more subtle but equally delicious flavor -- both take the burrito to the next level.I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Hola, and bienvenidos to La taqueria originale! Or, for you uncultured people out there, the Original Taco Factory! Come on over to sunny Tustin, and grab onto your gyatts, it's time for some big back activity. Don't be fooled by its name. They got tacos, nachos, burritos, and taquitos. They got other stuff, but that's all that I could see that rhymed. Anyways, get ready for a fantastic Mexican food experience! This is some Josh and Brandon-approved schtuff! They don't have much seating indoors, but there's plenty of covered outdoor seating to accommodate y'all! Also, czech out this salsa bar! They got self-serve salsa, and you can get whichever one you want! Different spice levels of pico de gallo? Yeah, sign me up! I ordered a carne asada plate, and chat, can we clip this? This is one of the best carne asadas I've ever tasted in my life. Oh my god, the tenderness is insane. I don't think I could possibly give more praise to the cook on this steak. I had no problem masticating this moisty morsel of meat! It came with a bunch of other stuff too! Like rice, beans, and some tortilla chips. This alone should be enough to get you here.Me, on the other hand, I got a tried and true classic, the al pastor burrito. The burrito is the perfect hand-held food, and these guys do it pretty darn good. I want to eat and leave no crumbs. mmm, the sweet, savory, and tart al pastor flavors meld into a tightly wrapped burrito. You can choose whatever meat you want though, so choose your choice to your choosing....or something like that! Meander on down to the Original Taco Factory for some great mexican food and even greater vibes. It's the quintessential fast-casual ethnic restaurant. Give it a go!

I've been coming here since I was a child. The food has always been on point. Service is also always excellent. This time around we decided to finally try the chimichanga and got a small chicken quesadilla. The chimichanga is massive! You can choose what type of meat you want in your chimichanga, and it also comes with choice of regular pico or spicy pico. We went with the pollo asada and spicy pico. On its own, it is already a flavor bomb. Adding some of their in house made guacamole, sour cream, and some of their salsa; takes it to the next level. The pollo asada quesadilla was a decent size for being the small. It has a lot of meat and comes with a side of sour cream and guacamole and some chips. Overall, the portions are good and pricing is fair. Definitely worth a visit.

I love ordering the egg taco sunnyside bc it's vegetarian and so are all the salsa bar options yummmy to my tummy

I had the lunch special today at this busy Mexican fast food restaurant. Today the white board said it was a taco enchilada plate for $12 and included a drink. I chose the carne asada taco and shredded beef enchilada with green sauce. The green sauce was spicy! The two items were accompanied by rice and beans which were both several notches better than many sit down Mexican places. Plus chips and sour cream and some shredded lettuce. The taco was two corn tortilla wrapped around about a cup of delicious carne asada. Great value! The enchilada was a shredded beef taco laying on its side with cheese and green sauce on top. The shredded beef had excellent flavor and I think all the heat came from the spicy (too spicy for me) salsa verde on top. Excellent value and quick service. The self serve salsa bar has plenty of mild and spicy sauces and veggies to grab. I like the outdoor seating, too, but something has to be done to provide bathrooms for paying customers.

The Original Taco factory is more of a down home traditional Mexican food restaurant as opposed to Hole Mole across the street. I come to The Original Taco Factory when I want some good tasting meat for tacos, burritos and also I like their bean and cheese burritos since their beans are really flavorful. My kids love them too! I go to Hole Mole for their amazing fish tacos but here at The Original Taco Factory for everything else - so today we went to The Original Taco Factory and it was as delicious as always. We got carne asada, and carnitas tacos and burritos and we also got bean and cheese burritos and they were all 10/10 delicious! I never like those open free for all salsa bars where you can serve yourself your own salsa because I think it's unclean but theirs seemed clean and well maintained. Service was friendly and we got our food to go within a reasonable amount of time. They also have really clean bathrooms which was nice too. There is outdoor covered seating and you order indoors. We like coming here whenever we are in the area!

Judging from all the positive reviews I thought I'd hit the jackpot in finding an awesome taco/burrito joint in town. Perhaps my expectations were initially set too high from all the built up excitement, but overall, our experience here was quite the disappointment. You basically go in to place and pay for your order, gather your utensils, salsas at the salsa bar......which was actually quite good and very fresh tasting. Otherwise, for those wishing to dine in, there's an atttached covered side pation with some picnic style tables to enjoy your meal.....where your order will be brought out to you when ready.It's hard to write a negative review about this place as it seems to down to earth and friendly, the prices not too bad as compared to other places arund these parts, but the food just didn't match my expectations.....unfortunately.So, I ordered the shredded chicken burrito with pinto beans for myself, and my wife order the veggie burrito. Lets start with the one positive....I really enjoyed the chips and small order of guac, and this all went really well with the various salsa sauces (with different levels of spiciness) very well. The chips were thick enough to easily scoop up and hold some salsa, and thin enough so as not to break your teeth when biting on them. The guac and salsa sauces were not salty too.As for my chicken burrito, the chicken tasted a bit tough with an overly wet drench of juices with every bite.....I prefer my shredded chicken to be moist and tender, and not wet. Otherwise, the burrito was ok. My wife's veggie burrito was basically a blend of rice and beans with some tomato salsa inside. Unfortunately, after one bite she said it was not good. I took a bite and agreed.....the pinto bean/rice mixture seemed to have hard bits that stuck in our teeth.Disappointed with her burrito, my wife took it back inside to see what the lady in charge could do about it. My wife finally decided on a grilled veggie burrito instead and a fish taco. I don't remember whether we were charged for the replacement orders. Anyway, my wife said that her grilled veggie burrito was much better!...I never got to try it. As for the grilled fish taco, it's quite boring until you toss some salsa sauce on it, then it became much more palatable.Glad we finally got to try this place.....disappointed that it turned out to be a bit of a let down.

A Sunday tradition for us, either quesadillas, famoso burritos or fajitas at the Original Taco Factory.Portion sizes are impressive including included guacamole and we love the fresh pico de Gallo and curtido bar.

Have tried this place twice recently. Best takeout Mexican I can remember. Decent prices, friendly service, Really good food. Only drawback is the parking. Very small lot.

Good always. Salsas the bomb ! Service is quick !!!The breakfast burritos with added al pastor are our favorite.
