Palenque Kitchen by Mezcal, Costa Mesa

The doors to El Matador opened at this exact location in the spring of 1966, and for over 55 years we’ve served the same quality Mexican food created from original family recipes. Our “Tequila Wall of Fame” boasts an impressive collection of over 400 different tequilas, and we are passionate about educating our guests about the art of tequila! Whether it’s your first visit or 100th, we’re so grateful to have you with us and hope you enjoy your experience at El Matador! Bienvenido!

Mi Casa is a story of family, of multi-generations dedicated to good food and festive times. Over 50 years ago, my grandfather, Barrie Moore, opened the doors at Mi Casa. Ever since, our family has been serving up hearty portions of Sonoran-style Mexican food to a devoted following. Our hacienda-style, family-friendly Orange County eatery has thrived thanks to our wonderful customers and our ever-so-tasty dishes made with fresh and authentic ingredients. All the traditional Mexican favorites are available, from tacos, enchiladas, tamales, taquitos, chile rellenos, and any combination thereof. I invite you to visit our family-owned, independent restaurant upon your next trip to the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa, CA, area!
