If you love Tortas like I do they have amazing tortas but all their food is authentic... This place is a must!

The worst person working behind the counter taking your order. Needed a course in basic customer service. The food arrived with rice clumping together,from being over cooked, beans not hot, chicken taco not hot, and tasting odd. We were the only ones in the place , so no reason for food to be cold. We both ate very little of our food. I brought plate to girl working at the counter and told her how unhappy we were, …… she could care less. We both have had a lot of Mexican food in our days, and we both agreed that it was the worst we have ever had. I honestly don’t understand the five star marks it has.

Great little place in SLO to get authentic, homey Mexican food. This place is legit. Their burritos are packed and flavorful, same for the tacos, and the horchata is fantastic. As some have said, sometimes the front counter workers aren't always the most friendly, but they're decently nice people, and the food is great.

The person the took my order, in person, confirmed with me “you asked for the beef tacos, right?” I got home and the order was incorrect.. of course. The staff seemed too careless and distracted to get an order correct which is disappointing when the price of food is what it is.

Really fresh food and the salsa was excellent. The taquitos we're hand rolled because I could see the toothpick marks on it. That was authentic and I appreciate it that

I am on vacation from Northern California, but originally grew up here in on the central coast and I am very disappointed and upset that I paid $35 plus tip for this poorly prepared meal. I had to endure rude, drunk and loud college kids and to top it off wasn't given any sauce I asked for and no tortilla chips. What kind of Mexican food place doesn't give you chips when you spend over $35? Maybe they are in business because of all the drunk college kids spending their parents money. I chose this place for my wife and I because of the good reviews and how they claimed the portion size was good. Well as you can see the burrito did not only taste terrible, but it was small and poorly wrapped. I hate leaving this review because it's not my style, but they struck out so many times with the food quality, customer service and overall experience. This has been a huge let down and forced my wife and I to dispose of the meal and go get food from somewhere else. If you want real Mexican good and a good experience then don't come here. If you want over priced greasy good then this is the spot.

The little 4 eyed mexican female clown at the register was super disrespectful and nasty towards me. I was super nice to her. She didn't even greet me or say hello. I walked out. Never coming back

First of all their soda machine was out of syrup. Which wouldn't have been a problem had they said that before we paid for our drinks. Secondly they said that their avocado was fresh, it isn't. It's that spread stuff ehich is ?. He let us order, then told us sorry we are out of bread. Then when we finally get our food. My friends burrito had no meat!! It was my first & last time ever going there.

As a taco lover, this was a delight. Carne asada didn't have a ton of flavor but with the and the green sauce it was great. The chips were yummy, light and crispy. The BBQ adobado street taco was tasty. Loved eating on the patio overlooking the creek area and busy shopping area.

Good food, salsa bar active even after covid (whaaat! Nice). The rent must be high cause it ain't cheap.
