Nancy Luna, who pens the Fast Food Maven blog, gives her picks for Best Mexican Takeout:

“I discovered Tacos & Co. a few years ago and instantly fell in love with its al pastor tacos and salsas. The small Mexican chain has a variety of catering options — from a taco bar to a gourmet seafood spread. It has one the best and cleanest salsa bars in Orange County. Tacos & Co. has two units in Irvine and Newport Beach and two restaurants under the name Tacos & More at the Brea and Westminster malls. More Tacos & Co. catering info and locations”
