Great service, good food. The Al Pastor is my favorite. Good prices too!

Really chill spot with good food. It's one of the best taco spots in westminster. Their tortas and nacho fries are bomb . Com . JpegLove coming here for a quick dinner

The food was lovely and particularly the servers are exceptionally obliging. The entire experience was superb. Energetically suggested!

El chef tacos is the best! Get the super fries with the works. You’ll never wanna eat another taco place. Delicioso *chefs kiss*

Love this place, everything, was delicious

"El Chef Tacos" is a mid-quality roadside taqueria on Beach Blvd in south-central Westminster, Orange County, California. I eat there often, as I live about 100 meters away.I've had mixed results eating there over the last 5 years. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes not. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes not. Some of the employees speak fluent English, some very little. I'll often cruise by and look in and see who is working there; if some of the more-competent crew are working there (especially the middle-aged Hispanic woman with dark hair in bangs on her forehead; she knows how to manage a kitchen), I'll drop in for supper; otherwise, I'll usually go elsewhere (such as Uncle Pete's Cafe two blocks north, or Rodrigos on Goldenwest & Bolsa).Foods El Chef typically does well at are tacos, nachos, and combination plates (carne asada, carnitas, al pastor, lengua, pollo). These are usually delicious.Foods they routinely cook badly include enchiladas (always drenched in nearly an entire cup of cold enchilada sauce, so they're always cold, soggy, and sour).The decor used to be nice (light colors, well-lit), but after they "remodeled" circa 2015, the decor has been horrible (ceiling painted black, walls blood red, lighting is dim, hard to see anything).So, my over-all grade for this place is "C" or "3 stars out of 5". If you're in the neighborhood and hungry for a quick bite of Mexican food, drop on by; but come early (no later than 5PM) as they usually close earlier than their posted closing times, and stay away from the enchiladas.

The food is so good the cashier is nice lady

No frills, but a good taco.

When it recently opened, the food was really good. Now, maybe it's just me, but I have been there lately a couple of times. Two times because I wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt. The food now is tasteless, the last time I had to leave almost my whole chile relleno, no flavor at all. Same happened with chile rojo in another occasion. Cheaper ingredients, different cook?? Who knows...

It's a small place, it's has a good staff and decent dine-in space. Upon calling the location 1st, I made several attempts, but no answer. I came in and placed my order, it was ready in under 10 minutes. I did ask about the accuracy of the phone number, but I was informed that the line did not in fact work. The food was decent at best, the staff of 3 young men were very professional and friendly.
