La Tiendita || San Clemente, California

La Tiendita is my favorite whole-in-the wall, mexican food, in Orange County. They are off the main tourist area and cater to the locals. Their carnita soft tacos with all the extras are especially good after a run along the beach trail.

The dining area is small and this picture at the bottom actually makes it look nicer than it is. There's also a dining patio out back.

Or if you are in the area for breakfast, try their breakfast burrito. Also good for cheap bean burritos and cheap quesadillas. Great service, great prices, great food!
