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.

The Anaheim burrito is the clear standout, earning singular praise for its generous, satisfying heft. Overall, the vibe is one of unpretentious, hearty comfort that leaves reviewers genuinely impressed.
“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.
