El Granjenal Tacos Por Favor
05.21.15
We’re going to go out on a limb and say the best tacos in Costa Mesa, and easily among the best in Orange County are at the little known Taqueria El Granjenal on West 19th Street. Granted, El Granjenal is not fancy, you will feel like you’re in the non-touristy parts of Mexico, but its food is tasty, fresh and affordable.
The owners are hardworking and sweet as can be. Part of its charm is the TV that’s interminably stuck on a Mexican soap opera with bad audio and reception, the bright red and green tables, and open air ambience.
Do yourself a favor and order their Korean style Kim’s Tacos that come in pork or beef. They can easily rival Koji’s—with a perfect balance of spicy and sweetness. Or, go for any of their hard or soft shell tacos with carne asada, carnitas, grilled chicken, al pastor, de camaron or de pescado. They come with a small, but perfect bag of chips, salsa, a pile of jalapenos and mildly marinated carrots.
And, you will not find better taquitos—the hearty trio of chicken or beef taquitos are flaky, fresh, and come with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Other favorite menu items are the super filling nachos served with two melted cheeses, sour cream, refried beans salsa and avocado; their whopping burritos and fresh horchata and orange juice.
For those who love breakfast, it’s served all day. Try the breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, ham and chorizo; or one of six breakfast tortas.
Open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
899 W. 19th St. in Costa Mesa. 949.645.4964.
