Best Overall Mexican In Orange County-This one is difficult to choose, but it's going to be a tie between Taqueria El Tapatia for having great tacos, burritos tortas, seating and quick service, but also El Toro Bravo for having a great selection of meats, large portions, delicious food and authenticity. Love them both.
