Part of the proceeds of your order go to supporting the CDC which is just weird. They support a cashless society which is a red flag. Food is good but it's definitely fast food. Would I recommend supporting this business? Probably not.

Yelp just warned me before writing the review about making sure we remember COVID exists whenever we review. Damn. A split second went by when I completely forgot the world went insane but thankfully Yelp brought me back to fake reality.

Mariscos Hector is an authentic hole in the wall Mexican joint in Costa Mesa where Mexicans actually eat. Hard to find here and it gets harder the further south you go in OC. Taco Tuesday is legit. Street tacos for a dollar in the chicken, carne, or carnitas variety. They're delicious and not plain like most other californianized Mexican joints down here. Marinated and seasoned properly. They also have the real shit that scares the gringos away namely head and tongue. Oh yeah. I'll be honest I've never tried those. Not cus I don't think they'll taste good but I have a lot of random food reactions and I have no clue how my tongue would react to another species' tongue. Their fish tacos are good but probably not worth the four dollar price tag. Shrimp is five bucks yikes. They can do chorizo tacos if you ask. Mm chorizo.

Good deals authentic food and no crying tears of rage when people choose to exercise their freedom to breathe. You know what I mean.

Right on Main with a nice set-up out front now thanks to all the stupid rules. Delicious food and I would know because I've tried literally everything on the menu (see here https://cali-grub.blogspot.com/2020/09/coachs-mediterranean-grill-downtown.html). You really can't go wrong here but if you need a solid choice get the mixed grill, it's like a sampler for all their delicious meat. I write this not to advertise for my blog but to boost the rating of this place because I notice there are a few Karens and Kens in the other reviews complaining about improper usage of facial torture devices. Look, if you want to eat here, eat here. If you don't, don't. The whole street has restaurants all down it so be an adult and pick another one. Sharkeez across the street loves masks so much they wear them twice, and they make you wear them to walk three feet to your outdoor table. If you haven't noticed Huntington Beach operates a little differently so if you live your life scared of the coronaman then just avoid this city altogether and make us both happy.

Great Mex gets an A+ from me for keeping their chill during the weakest pandemic in all of human history. Taco Tuesdays and Taco Fridays are you serious? $1.75 for all tacos and a dollar more for fish or shrimp? And these are no weak limp wristed tacos they put a ton of stuff in there. No pansy street tacos like Super A's a few blocks away. Lettuce, cheese, salsa and plenty of meat. The fish ones have coleslaw and pico which sucks because I fkn hate cabbage. I asked about that ahead of time but they still put it on so I had to pick all that shit out. Oh well. Here's a ranking of them that is 100% legit:

1. Fish
They use mahi for the fish which is my favorite kind of taco fish. Bonus review points for not using cod which sucks. The fish taco has tartar sauce or something on it which makes it even better.
2. Shredded beef
I've developed a rekindled love for beef and this hit the spot, just the right amount of salt. It was really cutting it close for a tie for first place but the fish edged out with a lil more flavor. Shredded beef is dank tho.
3. Carne asada
Chunks of steak that is neither too juicy nor too dry. Steak is always delicious. Thank you God for the precious delicious gift of cows.
4. Ground beef
Typical taco meat, pretty salty but not overly and it does have that taco sauce flavor too. If you crave Taco Bell for whatever odd reason but you decided to actually go to a place with edible food instead get this.
5. Chicken
Nothing wrong with chicken it just kinda is what it is. Not as much of a flavor punch. Low fat food isn't as tasty what can I say. Still good. Just needs more salsa.

They have four kinds of salsa and I tried three because I hate tomatillo salsa. The spicy salsa is extremely spicy. It's like pureed cayenne pepper basically. Don't say I didn't warn you. The mild is just like pico de gallo but more liquidy. Roasted is the best and it's just a little spicy. It's like the perfect sized bed in Goldilocks. They gave me two of those on my first time so clearly I'm not the only one who thinks so.

A cozy chill lil spot with a small bar inside that looks to have its share of regulars. Good service. Good food. And every time you spend eight bucks you get a point so after $80+ you get $8 off. Noice. I'll be back to vouch for the rest of the menu in due time.
