“My husband and I honestly cannot eat tamales from anywhere else ever again… Every time we go anywhere else we are completely disappointed. I can’t believe that the prices haven’t gone through the roof like everybody else. They don’t seem to be skimping on the portions either. We moved away from Santa Maria and literally drive hours out of our way to buy a dozen or 2 whenever we go down in that direction. Just make sure you call ahead and order if you want the Chile/cheese tamales (which are the best in the universe) because they will be out otherwise.“

“We arrived in Santa Maria in the evening. We chose California Birrias Y tacos because it was next to our hotel and the rating was above 4.5.It's one of the best Mexican we've had. The portions are huge for us but it's so good that we ate almost everything.Delicious. You can go there with your eyes closed.“

“The service was prompt and friendly. the food was really good. The salsa was tasty but could have had a little more heat. That's just a preference. I had the chili relleno burrito and it was exactly what I hoped it would be.“

“I love the food, very friendly and super clean area“

“I love my burritos simple and spicy! I just had one of the best ever at Nena’s. Meat cilantro onions and red sauce is almost enough for me?
I want to cry, sweat and have my nose run by the time I finish my simple burrito.
Best Ever!!“

“Angeles de Puebla is an amazing local gem nestled in Santa Maria. With Mexican food to die for, it's a culinary paradise for anyone craving authentic flavors. Their Carne Asada is an absolute standout, perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor. From the warm ambiance to the friendly service, every visit feels like a celebration of Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in a true taste of Mexico!“

“The food is addictive. They have an orange food truck has the best food. I’ve tried their tacos and burritos and was very impressed with the flavors. The burritos were large and not skimpy, came with grilled onions, Salsa and a grilled chile. I tried the pazole in restaurant today, sooo good.“

“First time here and I was surprised.
The place is nice, but its empty from the inside. Its somewhat quiet, so it's calm. The waiter was polite and gave us chips and salsa. She was really patient.
I ordered a quesadilla "herradero" which is pretty big and it has a wonderful taste. I feel like it was a reasonable price.
At the end the waiter gave us peppermints. :)“

“This place was excellent! We had lengua, carnitas, al pastor, pescada and cameron (sp?) tacos, and all were phenomenal! I am a bit of a spice weenie so it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but nothing "Mas crema, por favor" could not solve. :) My husband, who has a higher spice tolerance, absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this place. The jamaica is really good, too. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Santa Maria.“

“Love coming to this joint. The atmosphere is almost always bustling like a diner should be. Service is usually pretty good, sometimes the wait is a little long in between refills but that's alright. The food is decent, but what I really appreciate is the consistency across multiple visits.“

“Fast, Fresh and affordable. The best resturant in the South Euclid area for breakfast and lunch. Everybody I bring here loves it“

“This is a pop-up micro business, I selfishly hope its remains this way. The owner Gustavo and his staff are fantastic. The food is clean and delicious. It is focused on beef birria on weekends but make no mistake the catering of Mexican, Continental, and Mediterranean cuisine is excellent! 2-17-2024.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is made to order so changes possible.

Parking: 3-10 stop available.

Kid-friendliness: I see plenty of children happy eating here.

“Dora was really helpful? I had first gone to Vallarta and they didn’t want to service me for my check but I came here and Dora was really helpful and kind! I explained to her that my bank will not let me cash my money out on Saturday and Sundays and that I had to pay my bills today and she helped me set up an account with them! Gracias Dora!???“

“I'm a fan of Efrens at every location. It's reasonably priced, decent Mexican food. Big fan of the street tacos. Their menu is fairly large which gives you a lot of different options to pick from. The place is kept fairly clean and the staff has always treated me kindly.“

“the food was delicious!...“

“First time getting breakfast burritos, they were huge. Although a little too much beans for a breakfast burrito… id get it again but without beans. My girl got the zarape and I got the ranchero with added bell peppers, onion, and tomatoes. What i thought was a little off was the bell peppers were like raw not kinda cooked/sautéed like what happens when you make a scramble. Both my girl and I kept having to add salt to our burritos because they were missing flavor, eggs could’ve used some sort of seasoning. Over all the burritos were like a 7.5/10.“

“Rico rico lo mejor de lis tacos con sus salsas exquisitas“

“one of the better Mexican restaurants in the world. i am always satisfyed with the delicious food. great prices“

“The space is small but what I liked here is that it sells Oaxacan and Mexican food and for those who say it's the same it's not the food from Oaxaca it's not the same as that from Mexico a good place although it's in a place where it's not there is a lot of parking that's why only 4 stars battles to find a parking space“

“la mejor manera comidadel señor taco“

“No complaints at all. The potato and chorizo breakfast burrito was dense, filling, and delicious. Service was polite and reasonably quick.

Parking: 12 spaces in front of the main entrance.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp and 2 accessible parking spaces.“

“I absolutely LOVE
this tiny, hole in the wall restaurant. They have the most fresh beans and great salsa. The food was so good that I was able to finish my entire plate lol which I rarely do. I had to order more since I wanted some for tomorrow. And the portions are huge!!!! Highly recommend for a quiet lunch or dinner. Great staff and drinks!! Fast friendly service with great food!!! Can’t wait to go back. Took my 90 year old father for lunch and he loved it too. And he hates everything lol!

Parking: Parking behind restaurant.“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Chips & salsa served with a side of frijoles with Cotija cheese.“

“They have fresh fruit! And service is really fast. At least it has been every time I go. I don't think they have a restroom. They accept debit or credit. You can eat there or take out. They open late. They're peanuts we're kinda hard but other then that it's great!“

“es la la comida la mejor de santa María California ino se diga el pollo rostisado que rico muy ricas las tortillas yo selo recomiendo no se van arrepentir y si conocen conocen tortilla México no conocen santa María California“

“This was my first time going to the restaurant. The food was good . The service was aweful . My friend and I were standing for about 5 mins waiting for a waitress to seat us . They didn’t even acknowledge us . My friend asked if we can sit at a spot . They finally sat us down. When it was time to pay we were waiting for a long time for the check . We requested check with waitress literally took her 15 mins to give us the check . We had to ask again .Until finally she did . I was upset because waitress wasn’t doing anything she was just talking with co workers . All waitresses need training on how to be a better at hostess. They are not attentive . It was busy but there was 3 waitresses which that’s more than enough .“

“delicious food with a reasonable price Crews were courtious“
