47 Best Mexican Restaurants near Templeton

“Came here with my family and really enjoyed our meal! We had birria tacos as well as chicken and al pastor tacos. Everything was AMAZING and super fresh! This will now be our go to spot for Mexican food!

The owners and staff were welcoming and helped us decide what to order based on how hungry we were.

Super clean bathroom and they have comfortable outdoor seating that's covered.“

“This is hands down one of the best tacos you can get on the Central Coast. Their Adobada and their Carnitas are to die for. So flavorful and down right delicious. Their tacos come with a radish and a pepper with cucumbers and of course a lime.
Their salsas are so flavorful and just the right amount of heat to them.
I cant wait to try their Lengua tacos as well as their mushroom tacos.
They are a food truck and are located in the dirt parking area of Nature's Touch, while there go inside and get a baguette of bread(the salted one).“

“A little piece of hometown! Such friendly wonderful people- we feel like family! And the food is excellent! Try their Margaritas -delicious o! Favorite place to eat downtown!!“

“A nice little spot with covered outdoor seating. Some of the best chicken I’ve had at a Mexican restaurant. All the food is always hot & fresh. Fries are always hot & crispy. The staff is really nice and friendly. They don’t have drinks but they share a building with Templeton Spirits so I just get a drink from there. The salsas are delicious. One of my favorite little places around.“

“Fresh, creative Latin and American fusion. Really interesting menu items for breakfast and lunch, along with the standards. Great care is taken with the simple things—fruit, garnishes and sides. Pleasant service, locally owned. Support small business!“

“My favorite breakfast place great service, great food, I had been been going here for years, now when I come into town to see my girls, I take them here for our daddy/ daughter date, it’s our special thing to do“

“I tried this place for the first time today. Amazingly there was no on in line. I had the pleasure of meeting Suzy herself & the sweet lady who made my burrito. The food was delicious. I got a carne asada burrito for my lunch. It was meaty, delicious & perfectly moist. I also got a couple tamales to go. I was set up nicely for a delicious dinner later & it was so good I was inspired to write this review. I will definitely be going back.“

“Such a wonderful, family-run establishment with absolutely amazing and fresh food! The Papusas are sooooooooooo good!“

“Met here for lunch today and it was a wonderful surprise! Food is really fresh and delicious! The owner was super nice and attentive without being too much. I had a taco salad with chicken, Paul had albóndiga soup, Renee had chicken flautas and Travis had a torta. We were all impressed with the food and will go back for sure! I highly recommend it! They are also dog friendly on the patio.“

“My husband and I enjoyed our scrumptious dinner very much. He had two beers while I enjoyed a sparkling sangria soda. The service was off-the-hook! We certainly recommend that anyone in the area try to dine at this restaurant! Thank you, Donna and Eric“

“the lady taking my order was very kind, the ordering went great got the food in a good timely manor. and let me tell ya folks. this is a hidden gem in cheyenne. food taste amazing. Thank you for the menu as well!“

“Fresh flavors and friendly vibes!
Stopped by Garcia’s and went for the large carne asada burrito….made it wet for a little extra. The flavor was great, though next time I might skip the wet style since it didn’t quite justify the extra $4 for me. Still, the burrito was solid and satisfying.

The salsa bar and chips were awesome! Fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to the meal. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they use quality ingredients across the board.

Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving Mexican food in Atascadero!“

“With so many Mexican restaurants in town it's hard to set yourself apart. But the food was hot and delicious. The enchiladas were very flavorful. Great sauce. Taquitos were very crispy and delicious. In the shrimp avocado appetizer was plentiful lots of luscious shrimp. I will definitely be back.“

“Best food ever tried!! Owner is friendly and service exceed expectación“

“Great birria tacos 🤤 went there with my family and they’re so good 😋 definitely recommend !“

“Diego and his team are fantastic! The food and atmosphere are full of love. He is kind, the ceviche is marvelous and I was so pleased for him to make time and sit down to educate me on Baja style, their unique tequila and wonderful family. Thank you and your team for a great experience, I'd 1000% recommend eating here while in Paso!“

“Delightful restaurant and delicious ethnic food prepared they way it should be. My only comment would be to make sure their beef taco is carne asada because mine came with stewed beef which was good but not what I had expected. Otherwise, the atmosphere and service was optimum! Thank you!“

“Love the food and the people are extremely friendly. It's worth every penny! The service is great!

Just stopped by again and enjoyed an excellent meal. The food and the service combined with genuine hospitality is a business model that can't fail. I love this place!!!“

“The food was amazing!!! I had nachos with tripa, and a poly burrito with pastor. Both very tasty and huge! I will have leftovers for at least 2 more meals. I ordered using their app (very convenient) it was ready right on time. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.“

“The Chamber is so supportive to the business community and also it's non-profit members. Thank you for always working hard to assure we have the support we need and looking at innovative fresh ideas for Atascadero!“

“Delicious breakfast burritos for a very good price. We got two LARGE burritos, two bags of freshly made tortilla chips and 1 bag of potato chips for $23. Large variety of breakfast burritos to choose from. You will not be disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and the whole experience. Thank you!!“

“We had the pleasure of having them cater our son's college graduation in May 2022. From start to finish, Fermin was a pleasure to work with. The prices were fare and straight forward. Fermin was very responsive and accommodating when I had questions or wanted to add additional items to our order. On the day of the celebration, they arrived with plenty of food and a friendly staff. When finished, they packaged all the leftovers in containers they provided and cleaned up nicely. Thank you so much for helping to make the celebration a success and memorable!“

“This restaurant is truly magical. Whether you’re trying to go to Taqueria Jalisco or Jalepeño City, google maps will take you right here. The sign out front says Jalepeño City, but if you’re trying to meet up with friends at Taqueria Jalisco you’ll definitely want to verify which location since there are 2 in town.
This place has a TouchTunes so WATCH TF OUT if you’re trying to have a peaceful evening meal because people like me are out there playing club hits from the 2010’s and blue strips on repeat. There’s just something about chips and guac and dance music that gets me and my friends going.🤗Come here for sure but remember, it’s about the journey not the destination.“

“Muy buena comida mexicana“

“First time here at The Taco Stand and WE LOVED IT!!! Young lady at counter was very sweet too! We will be back! Alot 😊“

“muy buenas las cervezas 🤣🤣🤣que diga la comida 🤣🤣🤣😋😋“

“Great food especially chorizo burrito!! 😋“

“Todo está delicioso 😋 100% recomendable“

“We stopped here for lunch and loved it. We had the watermelon mint and regular margarita and we both agreed that while both were tasty, the watermelon was the winner (they use fresh juice and agave and you can tell these are very well made). For the tacos, the fish tacos with mango fell short for us, so we ordered extra of the short rib tacos which were divine - so juicy and tender. We will definitely return in the future to try some of their other choices. Shoutout to our waitress Kylie who was super sweet from the very beginning!“

“Ceviche was absolutely delicious!“

“Pros: the starter corn chips used a fresh tomatillo/avocado salsa that was delicious. Horchata was custom made with an included refill which after a long day was amazing. Shrimp dishes were fresh and flavorful.
Cons: allergy information could be improved“

“The food was great!
But they are charging sit down restaurant prices for a more fast food style environment. You walk up and place your order at the counter, prepay then sit down, Refill your own drinks etc. they also charged extra for chips and salsa. Family of 4, 2 adults entrees and 2 kids meals, and chips, just water to drink and it was $65!“

“Best tacos in town we're from visalia but definitely our stop when in town 😊“

“Had the pastor at Fourth of July on a winery. Pastor tacos are my bread and butter, and this place did not disappoint. 3 tacos for 15 is a bit steep, but worth every penny. Their ceviche was great as well and the customer service was great!“

“Stopped for lunch on our way home to LA from northern Cal. The menu is fantastic, hard to decide what to order since it all looked so good. We decided on turkey avocado sandwich and the chicken wrap and we both had the lentil soup as the side. All of it was delicious without being too much to eat. Staff are friendly and attentive. I wish they were in my neighborhood at home!“

“Service and food always awesome❤️“

“I came here on a trip with my husband. We had had long day and were looking for some good food. That’s when we came across Ale’s. Not only was the service amazing!! The food was top tier. I got the quesadillas, he got the tacos. I’d give this place more stars if I could. The waiter was extremely attentive, even making conversation and jokes with us. Overall, felt like home. Definitely hoping to return in the future!“

“Not from this area but I was craving a burrito. Everyone knows that San Diegos taco shops are the best for fast service Mexican food. I was not disappointed at the taco shop. Burrito came close to tasting like a Burrito from home. I got the California Burrito. Service could be better....lady seemed like she was bothered by my presence, could have been the fact that they were closing. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.“

“I purposely always take 101 going north no matter what (over Interstate 5) for one reason: to stop and enjoy the El Jefe. Oh and going back home as well. The best bar none. Been stopping here since 2015.“

“Food is incredibly delicious and the service is unbelievably friendly.“

“We found this jewel today and we’ll definitely be back! Clean, comfortable seating (inside or patio), friendly staff and great food! It’s tucked in a corner in the shopping center with TJ Maxx & Lowe’s. Fish tacos, chips & salsa - YUM!“

“Yo vivo a 4:30 de Paso Robles y siempre que vengo a paso llego ahí 🥰🥰“

“la birria muy rica los sopes todo muy rico lo recomiendo“

“Love their fire � grilled chicken! � you must go and check it out. I wish there’s El Polo in our area...but still willing to drive an hour just to eat there...“

“This was a pretty clean taco bell it was crowded in the drive thru but inside was pretty empty but the staff was quick with the order and friendly. The problem I had wasn't there making I don't understand who votes for the crazy laws in this state why are free bags dangerous for the environment and the ones they sell for $.25 OK this nonsense has moved on to fast food why can't I have condiments? Are we all unskilled and can't manage to put a lid and straw in our sodas? If you think you can handle these difficult tasks the employees will provide them to you and bags are still free“
