    Seriously.... some of the best Torta's, Tacos and Burritos around!
    This place is not a full restaurant- just in back of the Mexican supermarket- in the same plaza as Hennessey's.  You would never know it existed.

    The food is killer.  Not to be missed!
    BEACHYUMS!

    Just a little stand in the back of a convenience store, really friendly people, and overall the kind of place I usually gravitate to.  There's no menu.  You just look in the tubs o' meat and tell the nice man what you want.

    But the tacos are just OK.  I mean, they're cheap, which is nice, but the flavors are muted.  We got a few different kinds of pollo (despite ordering carnitas), al pastor, carne asada, and cueritos.  They came with green salsa and some limes.  Without the additions, the tacos were dry.

    I think the best one was the cueritos, because seriously, how can fatty pork skin slices be bad?  Ask for extra onions and cilantro.

    I found this place on YELP as my hubby and I were rolling through on a day trip.  I LOVED the experience!  Very authentic.  No menu, but the man behind the counter speaks English perfectly and can tell you what they make.  Get the carne asada tacos!  Big and flavorful and street style.
    The beef soup rocks too.  They have authentic Mexican food, so yes, that includes Beef Tongue soup but it's easy enough to go main stream with the tacos, burritos, etc.  And they have an awesome selection of Mexican foods and beverages too.  A lot of the customers are Hispanics so that's always a good sign.  Great service and terrific food.  We'll definitely be back!

    Ok so this is not a 5 star restaurant, it's a whole in the wall but if you ever want a burrito, this is definitely the place to get it.  They make the food fresh everyday, and they prepare the food right in front of you so you know what you are getting.  Their tacos are full of chicken or beef or pork!!!!, they stuff it and the burritos are huge, you can split it save it for later or share it.  The price is great as well.  When i'm in a hurry this is the place to go for take out,  I LOOOOOOVEEEE their tacos

    When you're looking for good authentic Mexican food, without the hassle and expense of a sit down restaurant, Buena Vista is the place to go in Dana Point.

    Many people don't know this, but in the back of the market there is a taco stand and some tables.  Grab a bottled drink from the market cooler, open it with the opener hanging on the string, then enjoy your taco, burrito or combo plate. Then ask for a ticket from the cook, and pay at the front checkout register.  No menu or prices posted, but don't worry. You will enjoy. By the way, the meat counter is very clean and good. I bought some carne asada there and it was great to barbeque. And, also the ground beef was very good. And, the butcher makes his own chorizo.
