Taco María Costa Mesa Reviews from The Last Year
I had the please of dining here twice.
The first was alone at the bar. I had a bottle of bordeaux and three tacos and I thought it was brilliant!! Tacos were balanced, flavors delightful and wine paring superb!. That was few years ago. I recently went there on there last night before closing. Service was great but could get a bit overwhelming as typical USA Michelin restaurants become. The wine selection was excellent and I had a bottle of Riesling, followed by a bottle of bordeaux. I recalled having appetizers and three tacos. I can't say I enjoyed my meal very much as the flavors were very strong and fighting with each other. Nothing was balanced. Someone is very much overdoing it with the flavors and the over gourmeting of the dishes. I hope when they reopen they can recalibrate this. Clearly this is an outstanding restaurant, and a SoCal gem. But I don't know why when US resturants get a Michelin rating, the food goes downhill from a food perspective. Michelin rating in the US means high price liquor, exorbitant wait for reservation, exorbitant prices, stuffy and overwhelming service, a chef of great repute...and the pleasure of the meal...what was there before the rating has long gone. In France a Michelin one star would be a 3 star here in terms of the food. In France all Michelin rated restaurants always leave you speechless when it comes to the food, any amount of stars. So while Taco Maria is retooling, I hope chef Salgado is taking a sabbatical in the Himalayas or somewhere to reconnect to his roots and not busy cooking up a new super duper extra extra fancy expensive new restaurant with blah food. Why only three stars? Well when you pay $700 for two people to have Tacos but better have the best Tacos in your life!! And it so was not. I would love a credit of $300 at the new restaurant please....
Killer food.
Killer service. Understandably they got a Michelin star. Closing soon to move to have the space to meet demand. Excited to see what they do.
I will truly miss Taco Maria! It was an absolute honor and
I will truly miss Taco Maria! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to meet Chef Carlos Salgado and his lovely wife. Chef Carlos truly serves you his artistic excellence in his food and undoubtedly creates delicious food from his soul. From the smoked albacore taco, chile morita... and not to forget the dessert! He not only serves you half an avocado- it's smoked in some kind almond wood + covered in onion ash salt?! ((I could have all that totally wrong but, my attempt to describe it is my best attempt)) I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and know that we will see there again soon! Cheers Taco Maria!
The food is fresh and full of flavor.
You must have a reservation there hours are short plan in advance for this restaurant.

Extremely bad service, our host's name was Maria, she was very rude and careless, the waiter said he is the manager and the restaurant stuff they were not able to accommodate us in one table of 6 even though by the time we were leaving 4 tables were empty!!! At the end a lady by name of Emily came and said she is the owner answer s sorry!!! But that was too late!!!!
We heard this location is closing this weekend so my wife
We heard this location is closing this weekend so my wife and I made a special trip to dine here tonight one last time. Our first couple of experiences here were very good so we wanted to go one last time. However, when we arrived the menu showed $100 per person for a four course prefix menu. Ugh, the dreaded prefix menu! The food is very good here but in my opinion it doesn't command $100/person excluding drinks. So rather than dining here one last time we walked across the courtyard to another fantastic restaurant where we could order exactly what we wanted. I don't think I'll be looking for any updates on where Taco Maria plans to reopen.
Taco Maria is an absolute gem for brunch! Our recent
Taco Maria is an absolute gem for brunch! Our recent experience at this restaurant was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a delightful dining experience. The brunch menu was diverse and creatively curated, offering a fusion of flavors that impressed our taste buds. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and crafted with attention to detail. The combination of traditional Mexican elements with contemporary twists created a unique and mouthwatering culinary adventure. The service was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The staff made us feel like valued guests, enhancing our overall enjoyment. The standout for us was the incredible blend of flavors and textures in every dish we tried. From the perfectly spiced tacos to the delectable chilaquiles, every bite was a delightful journey.
Having eaten in mexico city, austin, chicago, vietnam, and
Having eaten in mexico city, austin, chicago, vietnam, and elsewhere, taco maria is easily five stars. exceptional service, with precise and delicious flavors that, upon leaving, left me thinking i underpaid.
I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend tonight
I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend tonight and it was the best place we could've chosen to go to! The service was seriously 12/10, and every staff member cares so much about giving you the best experience possible. We got one of each thing on the menu so we could try everything, and it was all the most unique and delicious flavor combinations we've had. Not to mention, incredibly beautiful plating. We also came super hungry and were definitely satisfied with the portions. If you come a bit earlier before your reservation, you can also check out the stores around it for a fun activity. We will be returning and recommending this place to all of our friends and family. Thank you Taco Maria for such a special anniversary experience.
Fantastic food and wine selection.
Service is great as well. All the items are great but I would highly recommend the Cesar salad, the fish taco, the steak and the melon dessert. They were fantastic.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
