California, United States Food Guide: 7 Latin food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Orange
Reviews on Latin food in Orange, California, United States. Orange is a city located in Orange County, California. It is approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) north of the county seat, Santa Ana. Orange is unusual in this region because many of the homes in its Old Town District were built prior to 1920. While many other cities in the region demolished such houses in the 1960s, Orange decided to preserve them. The small city of Villa Park is surrounded by the city of Orange. The population was 139,812 as of 2014.

More authentic than most of the tourist-oriented restaurants with great interpretations of familiar dishes: for example, the fajitas were distinctly spicy from the restaurant's own signature marinade and come only with corn tortillas (flour being an american version).This is a pretty small place with limited parking, but well worth finding if you're ready for a delicious filling meal!

6. Tacos Jalisco

One of the best Mexican food places I have been to. It is an authentic style Mexican food restaurant. Everything I have had at Taco Jalisco has been really good. The value is amazing, large plates of food under $10.00 I highly recommend this place. It is a little hard to find because you can't see it from the street (Tustin Ave.) because it is located behind a Taco Bell. Please skip the Taco Bell and try Taco Jalisco, you will get way better food for about the same price. Its not a very fancy place but the service is fast and good.

Stopped here today and ordered from a very reasonable priced lunch menu. The food was ok. Not the best but far from bad. I don't plan on returning. They offer a good spread and variety of food. The building is really fun and colorful. It's not bad and if you like seafood I would give it 4 stars. But regular Mexican dishes 3 stars.

Usually, I am pretty understanding when service is slow in a medium-size restaurant. This was one of my worst dining experience. Our server, Stephanie, took forever to come greet us. Then she took our order without writing it down, brought us the wrong thing. We waited 10+ minutes for our drinks. W also asked for a non-spicy version of salsa. She forgot to bring it. We never got water. Then, after not writing our order down, she messed it up (of course). That led us to have to wait extra time. I specifically asked for non-spicy options because it makes me sick, and I don't enjoy it; she told me not to buy the tacos then. Then when I ordered my next thing, she did not advise me that it is also hot even though a second ago, I told her I don't eat any spicy. She was really fast in bringing the food to the table with males nearby, probably assuming they will tip her more as they had a lot ordered (it appeared that way). You know... I am usually a 20+% type of a tipper but this server did not deserve any of this... With the wrong order, no water, long wait, and not checking on our table, that really turned this experience into a horrible one.

Located in a shopping center across from In-N-Out, Taco Mesa has quality food--non GMO--including fresh ingredients like guacamole for a tasty appetizer. But their margaritas are tied for the best I've ever had, and are reasonably priced. Not fancy ambience--just good, quality Mexican food. Great salsa bar. The staff are very friendly, and on Friday nights expect a line to order. One of the few restaurants I ever give an "Excellent" to.

Located on the traffic circle in Old Town Orange, Felix Continental Café has been serving Cuban and Spanish cuisine since the late 1970s. The dining room is fairly small, but there is also outdoor seating on their sidewalk patio. NOTE that parking is always a challenge in Old Town Orange, so you should allow yourself extra time to find parking in one of the public lots or along the street.My family ordered a couple orders each of Steak ala Cubana (marinated New York steak garnished with green onion, garlic and red pimiento) and Roasted Chicken Cubano (half a chicken roasted in garlic, lemon and herbs). I opted for Ropa Vieja â literally âold clothesâ in Spanish â which is shredded beef slow-cooked in sauce and is considered one of the national dishes of Cuba. All our entrees came with a choice of soup or salad, fresh warm bread, black beans and rice, fried plantains and dessert.Dessert was a choice of rice pudding, Tres Leches cake or bread pudding. The consensus was that the cake was the best choice, with the bread pudding (which has pineapple, raisins and rum sauce) a close second.The food was flavorful and satisfying, and the service we received was cordial and efficient. Although the food was a bit on the pricey side, it was not out of line for the Old Town Orange area. Besides, the portions were very generous. Even though Iâve lived in the Orange County area nearly 60 years, this was my first visit to Felix Continental Café. I doubt that it will be my last.

This restaurant was recommend by a good friend. I lived in Mexico City and traveled quite a bit around Mexico so I am a bit of a picky eater when it comes to Mexican food. The food was very authentic and unique, and the selection was good enough to please everyone. The service was quite good and the pricing was mid-range for food and drinks. The location is nice.
