I'm so happy this place made it through the past few years during COVID! They've provided me a lot of meals from working close enough in the area to now just stop by for some great authentic Mexican food guisado style. I can't speak highly enough of the quality in consistency in the food. Now about the food I ordered...I got their barbacoa because it's one of my favorite dishes. This time however I ordered it in a burrito and couldn't help but have heart shaped eyes when I saw the burrito in front of me. The flavor is classic with the chipotle peppers, topped with rice, beans and all the fixings. I had to slow myself down so I could enjoy the burrito. I highly recommend giving everything a shot here because you will not be disappointed. I believe the owner is a former Westminster High School alumni, my alma mater, and I am not a paid spokesperson but I am a proponent of local business. Get out and enjoy some comida! 🤙🏽

Can I just say OMG. Been living in garden Grove for a year. Been looking for a Mexican place to eat. It's hard to find a good Mexican place in this city. Came across this place on my way to work. My first meal was a burrito de carnitas. OMG it's out of this world. Authentic Mexican flavors. It's 💯% good makes u want to come back and back. They do catering as well. Service is amazing. My new fav place to eat.

It's a small place, it's has a good staff and decent dine-in space. Upon calling the location 1st, I made several attempts, but no answer. I came in and placed my order, it was ready in under 10 minutes. I did ask about the accuracy of the phone number, but I was informed that the line did not in fact work. The food was decent at best, the staff of 3 young men were very professional and friendly.

"El Chef Tacos" is a mid-quality roadside taqueria on Beach Blvd in south-central Westminster, Orange County, California. I eat there often, as I live about 100 meters away. I've had mixed results eating there over the last 5 years. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes not. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes not. Some of the employees speak fluent English, some very little. I'll often cruise by and look in and see who is working there; if some of the more-competent crew are working there (especially the middle-aged Hispanic woman with dark hair in bangs on her forehead; she knows how to manage a kitchen), I'll drop in for supper; otherwise, I'll usually go elsewhere (such as Uncle Pete's Cafe two blocks north, or Rodrigos on Goldenwest & Bolsa). Foods El Chef typically does well at are tacos, nachos, and combination plates (carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, lengua, pollo). These are usually delicious. Foods they routinely cook badly include enchiladas (always drenched in nearly an entire cup of cold enchilada sauce, so they're always cold, soggy, and sour). The decor used to be nice (light colors, well-lit), but after they "remodeled" circa 2015, the decor has been horrible (ceiling painted black, walls blood red, lighting is dim, hard to see anything). So, my over-all grade for this place is "C" or "3 stars out of 5". If you're in the neighborhood and hungry for a quick bite of Mexican food, drop on by; but come early (no later than 5PM) as they usually close earlier than their posted closing times, and stay away from the enchiladas.

Not a great experience at all. Line cook clearly did not care wan about providing a good customer experience. cashier was did a good fries are mediocre at best they don’t come with seasoning. Torta was try and not very flavorful.

Food a 5 out of 10. What stood out to me is that the cook that handles your food with no gloves is the one that get the payment. Does not wash his hands while handling both 🤮.

I've driven by a million times but it's in a crappy area. So today I decided to try it out finally. I was greeted by an older woman in Spanish in I said hello back to her with a smile. I'm Brown and frequently mistaken for a Hispanic person but I am fortunately do not know lick of Spanish. The lady became incredibly rude with me after discovering I did not speak Spanish. I also ordered chips and salsa (charged on my receipt) and she wouldn't give me salsa. Her reasoning she said, I didn't buy enough to get salsa.... I ordered 3 tacos, chips and salsa. I'm loyal to small business and I clearly won't be coming back here.

Over-Priced and I have had diarrhea 3 x's now from eating there. After the first 2 times, I could not narrow it down. After the 3rd time, I knew it was cuz of them, cuz it is the only food I ate all day. It must be dirty and not ever going back.

My dad came here during his work hours. He has his own company in labor. The workers ignored him and never helped him or even greeted him. Discriminatory restaurant. Do go here.
