We may have the sauce... or maybe I'm mixing that up with the Japanese BBQ Sauce.
Tacos were good, tried one fish and one chicken.
Nice that they don't charge extra for the cheese tortillas... as I think they have to make them and I haven't found any premade ones in a normal grocery store.
Now if only Taco Bell or Del Taco did this.
We ate at the one in Santa Monica due to @momopi. A little pricey but good:
We got the OG combo, clockwise from the top, quesataco, quesadilla, taco dorado, mulita. My favorite was the quesataco (top one). The one by itself at the bottom is a keto taco (cheese shell) but not as good as Rubios.
Don't tell anyone I left the Irvine bubble.

There is already a Costco thread somewhere I think.

Surprised qwertaco hasn't posted this:
It's actually good although expensive. They are also doing Taco Tuesdays now that they "freed" it.
Back to desserts, if you've ever eaten at Mod Pizza, that have this overpriced dessert called the NoName Cake. It's like around $3.50 and it's
basically a Ding Dong:
They have a strawberry variant out but I couldn't bring myself to spending $4 on it (need to visit the basketball court near qwerdollar's house to get my dessert fund). Plus I can hear OC2SV's voice saying "Sugar causes cancer!".

IHO - I have not tried it but it is definitely on my to do list for this week. Sounds like you tried it and liked it. I’ll report back. I’m a big fan of both their macho cheese and red sauce. I normally get extra red sauce when it comes on an item but never thought to ask for a side as a dipping sauce. I’m sure I’ll be doing that now
PS - just taped $100 to the backboard. You know where to find it.

Nacho cheese and red sauce are the default dips... you can choose others.
I'm trying to remember but Taco Bell had taquitos at one time... they should bring those back too.
Need to bring a ladder... can't jump like I used to anymore.

If you're looking for a cheesy taco, try Rubio's on Tuesday. Most Rubios Tacos (fish/chicken/steak) are only $2.50 on Tuesdays and you can customize it to be "Keto Style" wrapped in Cheese instead of Tortilla for no extra charge.
I got the Fish Taco Especial with Guac wrapped in Cheese for $2.50 yesterday. It's very hearty, 2 of those a-la carte will definitely fill you up.

What? Cheese tortilla? Did not even know this existed (evidently since 2019):

I ate at Papi tacos in Norwalk recently. Interestingly they serve tacos with beef consume as taco dip (like French dip). They have 4 locations, the closest to Irvine would be the Santa Ana location.

So it sounds like it’s a thumbs up on flavor. I’ve been eyeing this place for a couple of months on Yelp but haven’t made my way there. I’ll have to try this soon as well. Maybe I’ll have cheese shell tacos at rubios for lunch one day and dinner here to test my ability to not have a heart attack.I ate at Papi tacos in Norwalk recently.

That's the new birria tacos trend. I don't really like the consume.
The taco is good... it's like a crispy shredded beef quesadilla.

This is birria. Traditionally, the consome is made with goat, but beef is the most common nowadays.I ate at Papi tacos in Norwalk recently. Interestingly they serve tacos with beef consume as taco dip (like French dip). They have 4 locations, the closest to Irvine would be the Santa Ana location.

Went last night. I forgot how slow Rubio's service is and now I remember why I never go there on Taco Tuesday.

Del Taco now has birria tacos, quesadillas, and… ramen?
it’s pretty good (haven’t tried the ramen though).
