🌮 Tacos Los Cholos: A Carnivore’s Dream in Anaheim

If you love tacos (and who doesn’t?), Tacos Los Cholos is one of those spots that locals whisper about and visitors dream of returning to. Nestled in Anaheim just a few minutes from Disneyland, this gritty, no-frills taco haven is all about the meat—grilled over open flame, full of flavor, and served up street-style.

🔥 Why Tacos Los Cholos Hits Different

This isn’t your average taco truck or overhyped taco joint. Los Cholos brings the asador experience to Orange County with serious sizzle—meats grilled to perfection right in front of you.

What to expect:

• Thick-cut carne asada seared over mesquite wood

• Costillas (short ribs) grilled bone-in, rich and smoky

• Al pastor sliced fresh from the trompo (rotating spit)

• Handmade tortillas, hot off the press

Pro tip: Order your tacos with queso costra—that extra griddled cheese layer that gets crispy around the meat. Trust us, it’s life-changing.

📸 Worth the Wait (and the Gram)

Tacos Los Cholos isn’t fancy, but the food is absolutely fire—literally and figuratively. Expect a bit of a line, especially late night or on weekends, but the flavor payoff is massive.

🌮 What to Order (According to Taco Fanatics)

• Cholo Taco – Ribeye steak with griddled cheese on a handmade tortilla

• Taco Costra – Choose your protein, wrapped in a blanket of crispy cheese

• Mulita – Like a taco sandwich with a gooey cheese center

• Quesabirria – Melty, meaty, and perfect for dipping in rich consommé

Insider move: Grab a seat at the grill bar so you can watch the carniceros in action.

🍹 Drinks + Vibes

Tacos Los Cholos recently expanded to include a Michelada Bar, serving up house-made micheladas, cold beers, and Jarritos for the non-drinkers.
