About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighborhood gem
Lively

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.

Food is consistently good no matter what I try. Service was a little slow refilling water and checking on us nut waitress was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food always! My favorite appetizer is the guacamole and chips. The Tacoqueso is delicious if you like birria. I have tried the carnitasxand fish tacos which are also delicious!

Birria was great, nachos were ok, guac subpar, and the prices weren’t terrible. Lot of focus on aesthetic of restaurant, could use some of that same detail on food quality. 7/10

I ordered the Carnitas wet burrito with half red half green sauce, it was delicious!! The sauces were not spicy at all but had very good flavor.
