Why go
The tacos Anaheim locals voted for
Tacos Los Cholos started as backyard carne asada pop-ups and opened this State College Boulevard shop around 2019, before adding locations across Orange County and LA. In 2026, Anaheim residents voted it the city’s top taco spot in Visit Anaheim’s Locally Loved Awards.
It has 4.6 stars from more than 6,500 Yelp reviews and 4.5 on Google from 3,700. Diners rave about the asada, the prime cuts and the salsa bar; the common complaint is the line.
