We are located at south coast Bristol & MacArthur….The story all began in 2003 when Chef David started his culinary career. With over 15 years of experience culminating to being executive chef, Chef David and his family decided to finally open up their own restaurant, a dream the family had for years. Tacos Madre Mexican Cocina is the first concept that embodies "comida cacera," which translates "a home style of cooking". Opening the doors in November of 2021 in Costa Mesa, the restaurant was an instant neighborhood classic. With the success of Tacos Madre Mexican Cocina, the family decided to open up an upscale concept with a full bar program. The family is very proud to serve and be a staple in the community: sourcing the best ingredients, creating an atmosphere where people can come to celebrate and also create life's special moments. We invite you to join our philosophy and dream in life! Con Todo Amor.

    First time, won't be the last! Service was excellent and the food was top notch. Tony's Tacos were amazing as were the chicken taquitos and the carnival enchilada. We were a family group of 5 adults, and we all enjoyed our meals very much!

    I booked a reservation for my sister and I, she was visiting from Doha, Qatar so I wanted to take her to a special place. It wasn’t super busy when we went but the vibes were good. We ordered drinks and the Calamari with black ink and the ricotta tamal as appetizers. The calamari was amazing, the tamal super tasty too. And as our main we choose the steak and while it was good it wasn’t as creative or interesting as I expected. Overall the food was great but I think it’s overpriced for the amount of food you get. I obviously get this is a fine dining place but the food wasn’t as interesting for the price. Also, the choices are quite limited.

    Great experience overall! We came on a Sunday for brunch and there was a live band playing for the entire time we were there. The ambiance was fun. Foods were amazing and service was excellent. Its just that the band was playing so it’s pretty loud and hard to actually talk to each other. But of course if you come to enjoy the band, you will definitely have a good time

    The food was amazing. Rib eye enchiladas were so good! The rib eye melts in your mouth and it's full of flavor with that chimichurri. It was my wife's first time and she loved it! I definitely will be back for more date nights.

    They were kind enough to put out chips instead of chicharones. The enchilada suiza was really yummy, and the margaritas were delicious too!
