I can’t speak on the quality of the food outside of the queso dip because that’s all we got but I definitely would not get it again. It was like congealed velveeta and my colon is going to suffer for days from that cement. It bloated me so badly I had to end the night early and go home. The margs weren’t good either- sub par at best. $54 for two margs and queso at this quality just wasn’t worth it with so many other good restaurants around.

Not real Mexican food. The food delivered was highly disappointing. The tacos didn’t even come with a lemon ?. Bar tender service was bland and very forced like he didn’t want to be here not to mention how over priced this place is. You’re better off finding a Mexican food truck.

Nothing so awesome about the food here. I've had better American. All of the drinks just had lemonade in them, there were no other flavors as the menu promised. The fish was bland. Crab was fresh, but tasted very ok. We tried going here instead of the usual Woodstock pizza. But won't be returning again.

The food was very good; fresh and perfectly prepared. They have an outstanding collection of taquilla. The service was also excellent, both friendly and attentive. We had a very good time in pleasant surroundings with a casual and friendly vibe.

First time here while visiting the central coast, recommended by a friend. Service was excellent, margaritas were as advertised, adults and kids loved their food. The chips are ridiculous (and our waiter put a basket in a to go container for us and they were still crisp the next day!). Would definitely come back on our next visit.Parking: Lots of options in and around downtown.Kid-friendliness: Waiter said “we’ll make whatever the kids want” and they loved what they got.

Located across the street from Tonita's, this is an excellent restaurant to try if you have a hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket and the magnificent taqueria across the street is not open. Fairly pricey, but high quality ingredients, friendly and informative staff and the best margaritas this side of almost anywhere else you can get a margarita.

8/24 Dinner time 7pm. On the waitress recommendation I ordered the special steak tacos. They were horrible! So over salted that’s all you tasted. When I mentioned this to the waitress she said said “I’m not surprised by your comment and offered sour cream to cover it up. I had my wife try them and she said the same thing. Way too salty. The waitress said when she came by with the bill that she tried one and told the cook they were way too salty. I left 3/4 of the meal on the plate. She did apologize but wouldn’t remove them from the bill. Very disappointing

So what is going to happen now the Rossi is going remove the parking lot at La Esquina Taqueria? He's going to build 34 stack & pack apartments soon, there will be no more parking at the Creamery anymore and there'll be a noise control because they'll be residents living there too. I mean what is Rob Rossi thinking by hurting business like this? I remember this location used to be Tortilla Flats and it was always crowded and a great location but I can just see it now all gone. It is shameful what these downtown business owners are doing especially Rossi

Decor was beautiful.Service was great.Overall, the food was salty and unauthentic. I came with a party of three and we all agreed the food was salty.I ordered the chicken tacos and the flavor wasn't good.The red sauce served taste out of a can.My friend had ordered steak fajitas and she asked for the meat to be well done. However, it was served undercooked.Pricing is good.Music and atmosphere is great.Parking is limited, you may have to park on the street and pay separately.
