27 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Luis Obispo

“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“

“Good service and great food.“

“5 stars to all even if the taste is lacking to me becauze they are fast, friendly, cheap prices, and easy to order.

I was craving Holes Moles similarity and this was close enuff.

Fresh affordable food on the way to Hearst Castle without breaking a bank to eat at the hotel with some beer.“

“Great little find in slo. Was bummed that they didn't get their fish order when I was there. Was very much looking forward to the red snapper ceviche. They did, however, have some delicious prawns. I had one of the best Chile rellenos stuffed with cheese and large prawns. Shredded beef tacos are highly recommended. The Baja fish tacos are flavorful and large. And our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Will be back again“

“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.“

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

“My husband and I hosted a rehearsal dinner here a few weeks ago and it was perfect! From the get go, Monica was easy to reach out to, accommodating and went over and above what she said she would do!“

“Solid Cali taco spot, I had the lengue, carne asada, and shrimp tacos. Liked the flavor of the carne asada tacos the best, but their chips and salsa bar is LEGIT. They have 5 different salsas, lime, and pickled veggies that all come for free with your meal. Definitely want to try more of their taco flavors next time.“

“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.“

“Great Huevos Rancheros Tacos. Will definitely be back!!!“

“I can't say enough good things about the food here, ordered from Postmates while here on vacation and it exceeded my expectations! Hardshell shredded beef tacos were so delicious! Fresh and flavorful. The salsa is my new obsession! The rice is perfect, Fluffy and flavorful the way Mexican rice should be. I will definitely be ordering again when I'm back in town.“

“Lo mejor de San Luis obispo en comida mexicana !! El karaoke su música muy alegre muy buena atención al público“

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

“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!“

“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“

“We dropped in for dinner and enjoyed an asada quesadilla and luckily Happy Hour so enjoyed a $5 draft Cali Squeeze. Fun to enjoy a great meal in the foothill neighborhood where I worked at Chapter One Restaurant years ago.
The quesdilla was delicious with meat, rice and cheese. It normally comes with Pico de gallo but unfortunately raw onions and I don't get along, so I choose to leave that out. The cream and avocado sauces are our favorite.
If you haven't tried it we highly recommend!“

“Outstanding tacos but the prices are outrageous. I especially liked the flavor of the pollo asado. They have a nice, clean little salsa bar, and some pretty tasty salsas...I wasn't fond of the escabeche. Counter service means almost none, which is better than usual. The dining room is clean and colorfully decorated.“

“Great prices, yummy food and quick service! I went for the first time with a couple of friends, then week back 4 times in two weeks to share this great find with additional friends. I had the Carne Asada tacos every time because they are so amazing! My friends tried multiple items and everyone was impressed!“

“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“

“Whenever I think about Taqueria San Miguel I get emotional. I have never had better rice and beans in my life. And let’s talk about their fire burritos, they give you the biggest fullest burritos I’ve ever seen. I love this place so much 10/10 would recommend.“

“Super El Pollo LOCO 👌👌👍👍!“

“it is a great place with large portions of yummy food..will try pineapple milkshake next time“

“I truly recomend, everything is fresh and made by the order I traveled from Playas de Rosarito baja ca to sanluis obispo to try these fruit and aguas frescas . And wow, I might need to make the trip more often. I brought back variety for my family everything is fresh very good everything“

“Cute taco shop! Everything is freshly made here, and the portions are generous. Their salsa is delicious and the personnel are so friendly and welcoming. A big plus is their use of cotija or a similar authentic white cheese—definitely no bland yellow American cheese in sight!“
