Something a little different for lunch while hanging out in Newport. The tacos were good. Even my taco loving but picky husband said they were good which is saying something. He had pulled pork. I got a mini salad with chicken which was good but not amazing. And it had a few random pieces of jalapeño which really got me since the rest wasnt spicy. We got chips guac and salsa as well. Good chips and guac was good. I thought the salsa was good except too spicy for me. But husband didnt like it much.

The Al pastor tacos were delicious! I wasn’t crazy about the ceviche, but my wife really liked it!

Ya so if the happy hour mentions tacos at least tell us they are the size of a quarter dollar if you see that's all I'm getting as a woman. I don't even know where they found such tiny 2 bite tortillas.
I would've ordered something normal sized if i knew after that i was just over it and didn't want to wait any longer to order more.
On top of that the meat was tough

First time trying the cute little Mexican casual restaurant on balboa peninsula. Emma was our server and she was very helpful. She told us that this place is owned by Bear Flag that has a store next to it and is the location of the original bear flag. We ordered their nachos with carnitas, the red snapper skillet and their steak fajitas with a pint of cerveza. They were all amazing. Good size. I am a nachos affacinado and these nachos were awesome. Food 5, ambiance 5, service 5. Will visit again.

My friend Nick and I stopped there for a late lunch. We were greeted with a big smile from our waitress. We sat at a table inside and they have outside dining as well. We ordered chips, guacamole, and salsa to start. It was happy hour, so I had a watermelon margarita Nick had a hazy IPA. We then ordered street tacos. The Carnitas tacos were small, but they were very good. Street tacos are always small. Our waitress was friendly, very knowledgeable and also cute. I left a 20% tip because we had a great lunch and the waitress did a good job. When you get good food and fantastic service don’t forget to leave a good tip! I would highly recommend Wild Taco.
