Efren's San Luis Obispo

Food is good, but not as good as their original location. Service has to improve. They always look upset or overwhelmed.

The food here used to be much better. Staff is kind and it's not their fault, but the pico de gallo recipe is watery, unripe, and has carrots tossed in. They were so understaffed that the salsa bar was littered and empty during lunch, and tables weren't getting bused either. I hope they hire more people and get back to the Efren's I remember.

I want to share my experience on 10/06/24 with my meal, customer service is good nice people nice place.
I had a rock on my meal beans and broke a tooth in half, lost the tooth and a big expense on my part, is an unfortunate situation for some customers that have such experiences and it happened to me, the combo enchilada had the rock.
Currently getting the tooth replace and just moving forward, I'm not discouraging anyone to go eat there but the business owner to have staff clean food with more caution, is not unusual for this to happen but no one like to go through that experience of loosing a tooth while eating.
The food was ok until I stop eating and left.

what kind of Mexican place does NOT put sauce on the enchiladas and leaves the enchiladas dry?

All rich

Just as an opinion, they should make a spicy sauce for the tacos, there are some people who like spicy sauces....if it could be better, everything else is delicious.

Yeah this place was so bad I wanna leave a review so they change for the better. I got the 4 street taco combo with rice and beans and I must say, it was the worst tacos I've ever had, don't know how to describe how disgusting it was but it was. Some how they made the meat and taco shells taste awful. Then their salsa bar was terrible and didn't have a any tasty ones. My girlfriend gets the enchilada plate and they said the red sauce comes on the side, when she gets her plate, there's no red sauce, she has to stand in line for the cooks to heat up some red sauce in the microwave, to hand it to her scolding hot as she grabs it and burns her hands. Then she tries to eat hers and doesn't finish it because its so gross and disgusting and she claims that was her worst ever enchiladas she's ever had in her life. And she felt sick all night and couldn't sleep. Weird, I know. We literally joked all night how bad that was and we eat Mexican everywhere. To top it off, their prices are way too high, for that price, we'll stick to Taco King! To their credit it was busy, so people eat it. But we won't be back. Hope this helps!

Great food, great service. A big plus is their outdoor seating that's shared with an equally amazing coffee shop (Seven Sisters Coffee).

The tacos are amazing. Flavorful and juicy, my favorite is the Al Pastor. Just the right amount of spice too. Highly recommend!
