41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Pismo Beach

“Been looking for good barilla tacos. I finally I did!! Delicious, quality, portion size and price I highly recommend them“

“We are from the Bay Area, but Zorro’s is probably my top restaurant for Mexican food among all we frequent. Tastes are exquisite. A very large selection. Staff is friendly and efficient. I wish we could go there each week, but alas, we would have to travel 200 miles to do so. You will not regret this. Enjoy and savor the experience.“

“Great food in this sweet little corner restaurant. Hand made fresh tortillas are delicious.“

“My whole fam came and ate and it was awesome! Nachos are large, their carne asada is great! And their burritos are large!“

“We stayed at Vespera Resort last December for a local anniversary staycation with our two dogs, and it far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff made us feel so welcomed and celebrated—especially Danielle, Aiden, and several other team members whose names I can't recall, but whose kindness made a lasting impression. The little touches throughout our stay, like a surprise delivery of wine and cake to our room and genuine warmth from every staff interaction, made our celebration feel truly meaningful. Thanks to this stay, we’ve already booked a return visit for our next celebration in October. We’re so grateful to the Vespera team for making our anniversary unforgettable.“

“This taco bell is 100x better than the one on Oak Park. Make the extra drive here if you live closer to the other one. Portion sizes are wayyyyyy better, cooks actually take their time and make things delicious and the food is never old and dry and cold like the other Taco Bell. Thanks!“

“The flavor of your food is yummy! The meats are tender & there's good amount in each taco & burrito. Tortillas are very good & fresh. Not a bad thing to say about this food truck!“

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back“

“If you are looking for truly authentic, mouth-watering Mexican food, Taqueria San Miguel is an absolute must-visit outdoor stand! My husband and I walked by for the first time on Taco Tuesday, and we were completely blown away! They offer incredible $1.59 street tacos (with a wide variety of perfectly seasoned meats) when you purchase a drink. Every single bite was packed with outstanding, vibrant flavor, and the portions are exceptionally generous. Five stars all around for the phenomenal food, top-tier service, and wonderful outdoor atmosphere. We will definitely be regular customers!“

“I am so happy I stopped by this spot. The food was absolutely delicious and hit the spot perfectly.

Everything tasted so fresh. I really loved the fish taco, which came topped with a generous amount of crunchy cabbage, cilantro, and a bright slice of lemon. It was a perfect, flavorful meal. I will definitely be back for more soon.“

“Good service and great food.“

“The most creative menu and remarkable Mexican food I have had in years. Everything was unique, obviously make with care and love. Can't wait to return. The beautiful restaurant is loaded with heart and very soulful. These folks know about feeding the heart.“

“I decided to go with a recommendation from one of the hotel staff La Esquina.

I was warmly received when I walked in and said I was okay with a spot at the bar because I didn’t want to take a table away from other paying customers unnecessarily but nonetheless the hostess provided me with a table.

I ordered the steak fajitas and as someone who is VERY picky about the quality of steak fajitas, that thought was put to rest instantly. The steak was tender, perfectly flavored and seasoned and paired with the onions and peppers on the hot plate, it simply hit the spot perfectly.

The star though was not the steak; it was my server Francisco who embodied hospitality and was so personable. To put it simply, he made the dining experience with his service!

I look forward to returning on my next SLO layover!“

“Excellent food. Friendly staff.“

“Good food Good service Good price Will be back!!!“

“Great food Fast service Like eating at my moms Would definitely come back Yum.“

“Great night good food & drinks“

“The carne asada burritos here are fire 🔥. First place I’ve been to that doesn’t cheap out on the meat portions. Everything was so flavorful

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the employees have a very bad staring problem. I was just picking up my burrito and while I was waiting I got stared down by the cooks and the cashier multiple times.

After I came to the cashier to pay for my order, it felt like the cooks were talking bad about me in Spanish.

But overall food here is great, the employees however meh“

“Good mex...no frills here. Portions ate more than adequate. They make there own mild salsa, but options with more spice are bottled. The cleanliness could use some support. I would opt for food to go next time. The better news is I would come back. Lots of mex choices on the central coast. This one is not on the main drag but their prices reflect that...good value for money. They have a few standard mex beers on tap including Negra Modello.“

“I’ve only ordered delivery from San Luis Taqueria, so I can’t speak to the in-restaurant vibe—but the food? Absolutely top notch. Their chips are thick, fresh-fried, and totally addictive. I’m obsessed with their carne asada nachos, and the ability to fully customize a burrito through their online ordering system is a game-changer. I’ve had a burrito from them every week for the past month—I think I might be hooked. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. Bonus points for the free chips and two types of salsa that come with every delivery. My new favorite burrito spot in SLO!“

“I've been eating at Taco Roco for at least 25 years. Pretty sure it's still some of the same employees just a different location. The staff is wonderful! It's almost more of a Gringo style in my opinion, but always amazing flavor. As long as they're open I'll still be eating here. Their salsa that comes with the chips, and the creamy green salsa are my two favorite salsas in the world! My favorite torta as well!“

“the shredded chicken taco was my fav. got the shredded chicken, shrimp and pork tacos. we clap got a california burrito and birria taco. super laid back and great salsa selections. the spicy green one really comes with a kick. nice to eat outside on a sunny day.“

“Es un lugar limpio me an atendido bien son amables y su comida es excelente“

“Homemade tortilla chips served warm with tasty salsa and stuffed quesadilla delicious!“

“All I can say is I LOVE this place. From scratch, done in their own special way, and just amazingly delicious. I’ve had many things but their pork lomo wrap stuffed with papaya, cheese, walnuts and greens made me want to cry. So gooooood!“

“This is an amazing spot with great food! Highly recommend“

“I thought the food was authentic and had homemade tasting food. I had the chilliques for breakfast. I will return to try more.“

“Simplemente lo mejor en comida los restaurantes Efrens son lo mejor en sabor 100% recomendados la comida más fresca que pueden consumir 👍👍👍👍👍gracias por su atención“

“Their BRC's and salsa are some of the best in the county and are reasonably priced compared to many places. Whenever we are in a pinch and need something quick, cheap, and tasty, we'll call ahead and swing by to pick up a couple BRC's. They are always hot and fresh and their salsa is amazing.“

“HORRIBLE SERVICE. Placed an order over the phone and they got upset with me because I don't speak spanish. I've been a loyal customer for YEARS but no longer. They messed up on the order and I had to pay for them to fix it. They argued with me even though I repeated the order multiple times over the phone. Shame you've lost a loyal customer especially since I really do enjoy your food. Oh freakin well. The lady at the counter was super rude and judgemental as well.“

“Had a wonderful breakfast. This will be our new breakfast place. Great that they have both mexican and american style breakfasts breakfast!“

“Trying places in Grover and stopped in here for some nachos. The chips were pretty stale and chewy. The guacamole didn’t look like it had any avocado in it. I’m betting their other dishes were probably a lot better. I’ll go back and try their breakfast or tacos, but the nachos didn’t quite cut it.“

“The cashier has always been extremely kind and helpful even with the crazy 230am crowd the cooks always thank the customers too for waiting when it’s completely understandable that they take a few moments to get so many orders ready and they still get it all done quickly and done right. The only Mexican food place that never disappoints in San Luis“

“Beyond a doubt . . . CORONA'S is the best around! Chips, salsa, chile rellenos, cheese enchiladas, rice and beans! YUM‼️😋 Plates are hot and service is xlnt, ALWAYS‼️ 👍😍🌮 ❤️ you guys and gals‼️👌“

“Food at La Casita Mexican Restaurant was delicious! Drinks at the bar were super tasty and 10/10 on presentation! Margaritas and Palomas are recommended!👏🏻💯Can’t wait to come back on our next visit for Karaoke 🎤 night!“

“Went there for the first time today. Walked in, ordered. I ordered the veggie tostada, hubby ordered asada fries. The gentleman working brought us our drink, silverware, napkins, chips & salsa.

Salsa had a little bite to it, but it was delicious. Hubby liked the fact that the asada fries had real cheese and not nacho cheese. My tostada was very good as well.

Would definitely eat here again if I’m passing through Grover.“

“Food was pretty good! They even put on the Cowboys game on for us! Very friendly staff!!“

“Emily was our server. She was so sweet and prompt. The atmosphere is very nice and super clean. I ordered the best nachos I've ever had and I'm from San Diego. 😄 Nice to have such a gem of a restaurant so close to home. I will tell my family and friends 🧡
Thanks,Cee“

“Super El Pollo LOCO 👌👌👍👍!“

“Calvin did a wonderful job making sure my visit was the best it could be! His courtesy ensures the high goodwill value of Chipotle's brand! Thank you for my excellent customer experience!“

“Its a taco bell. What else can I say. I've had very little issues with them getting the accuracy of my order correct. I dont think anybody cares for the AI you have to order through in the Drive Through but that must be a new Taco Bell thing because I've seen it at the other locations now too.“
