Chicas Tacos opened its second Orange County location on Feb. 7 in Rodeo 39, a public market in Stanton with almost 40 vendors for shopping and dining.

The fast-casual chain founded in Los Angeles quickly gained popularity and accolades for its Beer Battered Fish Tacos, plant-based Crispy Taco and co-founder Chef Eduardo Ruiz’s motto to serve “a better taco.”

The restaurant uses the same flour tortillas as Bib Gourmand winner Burritos La Palma, located in El Monte, hand crafted by Tortillas Mejorado, also co-founded by Ruiz.

Stanton will be the second location in the Orange County expansion after Chicas Tacos opened in a Huntington Beach food hall last October. The new location will feature exclusive menu items.

“We’ve decided to launch some unique dishes, specifically with the Orange County diner in mind,” Ruiz said in a statement. “We’re excited to introduce our Pork Belly Taco, Dirty Fries, and Chicken Wings which we think will resonate well with the brewery and neighboring community.”

In addition to a variety of meat, seafood, and vegan tacos, the eater also serves burritos, bowls, pizza, and more.
