What does Irvine have against Mexican food?

Chronic Tacos?
Both good breakfast burritos and fish tacos.

California Fish Grill also has good fish tacos (but no cheese :( ).

I like Rubio's fist tacos the best actually (and Del Taco's fish tacos aren't bad either.

Fist tacos??  Yuck.

I knew a girl that could put a whole fist taco in her mouth.
 
Not in Irvine but Tula Market in Lake Forest off El Toro and Rockfield has great tamales on the weekends and freshly made corn tortillas  made in house and great Mexican food IMHO. They're an ethic market, next to the Marshalls. Serve great menudo on the weekends too.
 
I recently had tamales at Cuca's in Foothill Ranch. I went there because several friends said their tamales are the best. They make a few kinds, doing one kind of meat one day and a different one the next. That day happened to be pork tamale day.

I'm sorry... they are really overhyped. They were too dense and lacked flavor, imho. I wanted to like it. You can get better (but spicier) tamales in your local Ralph's deli.

Some of their other stuff was alright, though.
