Our first and last time ordering here. I got the breakfast enchiladas. It was soup with an open corn tortilla with a pinch of cheese and practically raw egg. You can tell they don't make their chips. Never eating from here again.
We just found out about this place. We placed an order to go and the person who took the order was super friendly and attentive which was a big plus. The food was really good! The enchilada sauce is very tasty, you can tell it’s a homemade sauce, the beef taco was crispy and delicious. The beans were so good. We will be returning here. I’m glad we found a place with good Mexican restaurant that’s not far from our home

Food was really tasty, salsa is excellent! Had a fish taco, asked for it in a hard shell, no problem!! They serve catfish for tacos yum, better than the typical mushy fish in other Mexican places. Nice menu choices, they sell to go salsa.

Whenever I eat Mexican food, I order the chile rellenos. Of the 15 or so Mexican restaurants around Santa Maria and Orcutt, I have to say this place has the best chile rellenos. Every time I order from here, the cheese is always thoroughly melted as opposed to other places where the cheese is not always fully melted or the size is not consistent. The sauce they use is also just right.
They also offer a crispy potato tacos. And let me just say, every time I go to a Mexican restaurant, another thing I ask is if they have crispy potato tacos which is just something I've always enjoyed since my (fully straight from Mexico) Mexican stepmother made them for me when I was growing up. 90% of the time, the other restaurants either don't have them, or have told me they make them sometimes but not all the time and I have to call ahead just to check. This place had them and they were delicious.
I also have to say, they make their flan in-house and was hands down the best I've ever had. It even converted my boyfriend who does not actually like flan. Maybe because I added whipped cream to it when we got home, but either way it is the creamiest and truly most delicious one I've had anywhere ever.

Most bland & flavorless mush I’ve ever had. No salt, no seasoning, no flavor at all. I took 2 tiny bites & stopped eating. For me it’s a complete waste of money, unfortunately. I won’t be able to finish eating this & certainly wont try this place again.
I love the food at Lalo’s, especially the wet burritos. Tacos are also very good.

I've tried the food there now like 4 times. The last (and final) time I went I ordered a chicken enchilada. The food came out boiling hot like it had been microwaved. It literally burned my tongue. I had to stop eating and wait and wait for it to cool down. After 8 minutes of waiting it was still boiling hot. The plate itself was hot which indicates microwave (or some kind of hot oven). The prior times I went there were also not that great. But the boiling enchilada, rice and beans was just a sign for me to not waste money on subpar food. Below average food. P.S. the chips seemed weird also. I ate them while waiting for the food to cool down enough to be able to eat it. My stomach felt weird after eating the chips. BTW: the enchilada never cooled down, it was still boiling hot after more than 10 minutes so I left it on the plate. Never coming back to this place.

Worst carnitas nachos I’ve ever had. First of all, nachos cheese instead of real cheese?! Get outta here. I know they’re called nachos but nacho cheese ain’t cheese, no offense to anyone who genuinely likes that liquid mass. Actually, please, take offense, it’s gross. In addition, there was hardly any carnitas. It was tortilla chip central gooped in nastiness with a smidge of carnitas and an unnecessary amount of canned jalapeños. Fail.
