We are located at south coast Bristol & MacArthur….The story all began in 2003 when Chef David started his culinary career. With over 15 years of experience culminating to being executive chef, Chef David and his family decided to finally open up their own restaurant, a dream the family had for years. Tacos Madre Mexican Cocina is the first concept that embodies "comida cacera," which translates "a home style of cooking". Opening the doors in November of 2021 in Costa Mesa, the restaurant was an instant neighborhood classic. With the success of Tacos Madre Mexican Cocina, the family decided to open up an upscale concept with a full bar program. The family is very proud to serve and be a staple in the community: sourcing the best ingredients, creating an atmosphere where people can come to celebrate and also create life's special moments. We invite you to join our philosophy and dream in life! Con Todo Amor.

It was our first time, and we enjoyed our experience. We tried the nachos, which were great, loaded with cheese and toppings, as well as a 3-item combo (2 cheese enchiladas and 1 potato taco). The enchiladas and rice were great; the potato filling in the taco and the beans were slightly under seasoned. Service was prompt and attentive (we went on a Saturday, at 5:30). Ambience is nice and we would return again.

The food was amazing. Rib eye enchiladas were so good! The rib eye melts in your mouth and it's full of flavor with that chimichurri. It was my wife's first time and she loved it! I definitely will be back for more date nights.

They were kind enough to put out chips instead of chicharones. The enchilada suiza was really yummy, and the margaritas were delicious too!
