What we’ve built

From a brewery pop-up to a downtown Santa Ana breakfast spot with its own catering business.

  1. 2017

    Brewery pop-ups

    Tacos El Gringo started as a small pop-up at local breweries, grilling every meat over red oak.

  2. Downtown

    A home at 4th & Sycamore

    Six-day breakfast and lunch service at 401 N Sycamore St, Santa Ana — best known for breakfast burritos.

  3. Catering

    Taco bars and trays for a crowd

    Four on-site packages from the Street Taco Bar to El Patrón, drop-off trays, and an office taco box that feeds ten.

    Culinary Curators

    The same team founded Culinary Curators: high-protein meal prep, custom event catering, two venue kitchens and a shop — the company that owns Tacos El Gringo today.

Known for

Red-oak fire, breakfast burritos

Every meat goes over red oak for a smoky flavor you taste in every bite. The breakfast burritos are what people line up for: the Farm House, the Chilaquiles Burrito and the Classic Chorizo, plus Daddy Tacos and queso tacos.

The full menu, prices and hours live at tacoselgringo.net.
