Efren's Catering & Restaurant - Anaheim, California

This is one of our favourite places in Placentia, and just can’t be beat on price.

I love the red Barbacoa tacos and the consume (which is not on the menu but which you CAN order separately).

I also love that you get your own sides and napkins, etc, as that has really sped up the service and reduced waste by allowing us to get exactly what we want and no more. It’s usually the perfect amount of time from when you order to go over, grab what you want (from the three kinds of salsa, cut limes (or lemons, depending on the day), cilantro, and onion-cilantro mix).

FEEDBACK: I’ve noticed recently that some of the tacos have included really fatty bits of meat, which has turned off some of my friends from eating there with me. Some reinforcement for the cooks to ensure a consistent mix of fat and meat in the tacos might be helpful.

So I’ve lived not far from this place for awhile now and finally remember it and decided to give them a try.

I ordered 4 grande asada tacos, 3 Al pastor tacos and the nacho fries. The food tasted ok but the problem I had was the tacos just meat and corn tortillas I’m used to having onion and cilantro on my street tacos, there was none to be found. The nacho fries only had meat, cheese and a little sour cream. The menu says it was supposed to have beans, Pico de gallo and Avocado also but none of those three made it to my food. If there was somewhere i was supposed to add it to my food myself no one told me where to get those things.

Also information on their website needs to change because the restaurant is not open on Saturdays. Also if you’re not going to sell Milanesa tortas you should take it off the menu. I tried to order one last night and the worker made it sound like they haven’t had that in a while. We were disappointed in our meal.

Efrain's catering is back! Love the inexpensive and tasty Taco's!! I always try to stop by here on my way back from work, they are always not too busy and friendly! They are open for now only on Tuesdays but the owner said they will try to open more days to meet the need, hopefully everyone will get a chance to give this locale some business!

Great food! However, now you have to do all your own sides in a sides bar to save them time and it is quite time consuming for you as you go in. Otherwise it would be 5 stars for service. Prices and food is still amazing. And the workers are always nice!

I recently had a caterer cancel on me at the last minute. Efren's was willing to jump in and save the day on one of the businesses weeks of the year. There food was the perfect fit for what this client wanted. They were able to match the same menu the client wanted and everything. I will be forever grateful for them being so responsive and willing to save the day! The staff was so accommodating and wonderful to work with too!

Good food great food actually. The last experience I had was an order that we called in 3 -4 hours prior for 50 street tacos to be picked up at a certain time and we ended up having to wait an extra 45-60 min which made me late. So not great with the order time but everything was good besides that so I suggest calling in the morning for any large order for pickup at night or calling the day before

I can only give 3 stars for the parking. My work truck is a 28', so parking here would be impossible. No street parking near by either. Im sure the food and everything else is great, but ill never know 🫤🥺. Good Luck on your compact.
