“This is a wonderful Mexican restaurant with flavorful, well-prepared dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything tastes fresh, from the salsas, great homemade chips to the main courses, and the portions are generous without being overwhelming.
The menu offers a great balance of classic favorites and house specialties, so there’s something for everyone. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service makes you feel comfortable and unhurried. It’s a place we look forward to returning to and would happily recommend to anyone looking for good, authentic Mexican food.“

“Absolutely amazing service and amazing food. Went in for a taco, it was the juiciest taco I’ve ever had. Sick of most places serving meat with burnt pieces, charred scraps, and excessive amounts of fat. Taco de Mexico serves tacos with none of that. On top of that the rice is amazing, definitely authentic. And the service was so welcoming. Definitely coming back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Very friendly service, and the food came out very quickly! Everything was delicious. We ordered carnitas tacos (we got 4 for a meal), the chile relleno burrito, and the chicken taquitos.

HIGHLY recommend trying the chili oil from the salsa bar - it's simply superb! Smoky, well seasoned, and not unapproachable spicy. Perfect flavor for everything!“

“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“

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