Best market in Lake Forest, California (CA) 2025

This little meat market has great produce. It also has an excellent selection of food to go. I had an al pastor taco with enough meat for two tacos. Price was 3.75$ so they are bigger than street tacos. Also had a 1/4 chicken mole with a friend, about 12.50$. A generous piece of thigh and drumstick. This is covered with a small jacuzzi of mole sauce. For those that don't know, mole is a deep brown almost black savory gravy. Better described as whats NOT in it it has unique flavors and ingredients. Every Abuela (Gmom) has their own family recipe. The sauce at Tula's was on point. Not too sweet and all the flavors came through. Plus if I'd had a chicken breast too there was enough for more chicken. Combo served with rice n beans a bit of cheese on top. Five corn tortillas given too! Then house picante red and a bright green sauce plus limes. They had all the meats; barbacoa, carnitas, pork skin in green sauce, asada, shredded chicken. I'll definitely be back to try that barbacoa. Note *** Food is to go but a few simple tables are outside. No restrooms. The sun is toasty in the summer afternoon, but the food so worth it. Provechos! Also, try Tula's grocery a little south @ Rockfield. ~FairWinds
