The story
Tucked into an Anaheim strip mall on State College Boulevard, Tacos Los Cholos operates with the quiet confidence of a local institution—until you see the line. The open kitchen turns out fresh-to-order meats seasoned with imported Mexican spices, fueling a casual takeout operation that moves an astounding 20,000 tacos daily. It’s street-food craft at its most direct, earning a solid 4.5-star rating from a devoted following.
The prime ribeye taco is the undisputed star. Creator Jack’s Dining Room called it “some of the best meat I’ve ever had in a taco.” That cut anchors a menu that also includes the hefty Anaheim Burrito. This is no-fuss excellence that keeps Anaheim coming back, proof that a hole-in-the-wall can deliver world-class flavor.

Reviewers rave about the Anaheim burrito, calling it a masterful, messy triumph of flavor. The overall vibe is that of a hidden gem serving unpretentious, soulful Mexican food.
“Look at the amount of meat they put in this thing — it's stuffed with a sweet green pepper. He said to hit it with their house made Chipotle mayo. Look at this tortilla, the beautiful browning it has going on.”
“This is insane – the tortilla is perfect, the steak is seasoned so well, and then you add in the warm melted cheese and a little sweet pepper. I'm usually not the biggest pepper fan in a burrito, but this is actually a good sweet pepper.”

Prime Ribeye Taco
This is some of the best meat I have ever had in a taco in my life. It is so tender and the seasoning is actually unbelievable — the owner told me it's all in the seasoning, imported from Mexico specifically for them. I've never seen someone season meat more than this guy.
