“This restaurant has ample parking and seating outside as well as limited indoor seating. The menu is small but any option you decide on will be amazing. I ordered potato taquitos, which wasn't on the menu. Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. There's a lot of love that goes into their food and I can't wait to return!“

“Good tacos, good place to get Mexican food. Just go up to the window and order they bring it out to you. The kitchen is all ladies and the salsas are good. The desserts like flan are made by them. Also they have a cover sitting area and a few benches outside under tree.“

“Breakfast & lunch only, but great breakfast & lunch. Service is attentive without hovering. The place is small, and can fill up at peak mealtimes, but it is worth the wait.Parking: When the restaurant is full, so is the parking lot; but easy access street parking is also available. All parking and restaurant is wheelchair accessible.Wheelchair accessibility: see above“

“Best food is Templeton, one of the top 5 Mexican food restaurants in the north county. This is a family owned and operated restaurant that provides excellent quality food at an affordable price. The restaurant is a bit dated but always clean, servers are super friendly and accommodating. Their chips and salsa are always fresh, chile verde is the BEST! If you come here for a meal, you won't leave hungry!“

“Great place tucked away a bunch of medical offices. Good food and large portions. The owner is very nice and friendly. We came for brunch and there wasn't too many people so we got our food very fast while chatting and getting to know the owner and sharing our opinions.“

“This is a really cute place. The owner of Susy stopped and chatted with me as I was sitting outside. Her son who was behind the grill did an amazing job. It’s hard to find healthy food when you travel, but here I found an amazing vegetarian burrito that was grilled to perfection. Full of tomato, lettuce, onions, avocado, beans, and rice. It was delicious and filling And healthful!“

“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!“

“We stopped here while driving by, hungry for a late breakfast. We enjoyed our hot coffee very much while sitting outside on clean good furniture. I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and grilled potatoes, my husband had the pork chops and eggs. So delicious! And portions were a good size.The restroom/toilet was very clean too.“

“This place just keep getting better. I love the daily specials, especially Taco Tuesday, of course! They have a good amount of seating, fast service, and really good food. And to top it off, they have legit al pastor from a trompo, not stuff that was just fried on the grill. I come here almost every week, and now I have another great reason.“

“We're local Paso folks and this is a favorite dining place. It's small, family owned, provides friendly service and very excellent Mexican food, as good as it gets in Paso Robles. We're well traveled in the southwestern US and in Mexico. We know it when we taste it. This is it.“

“Great spot in Atascadero. They are fairly new and took over the old Burrito Express location. Though they have the same menu I was told they are not affiliated. Ordering through their web site or app "from the restaurant" is super easy. I had a chile relleno burrito and it was delicious! Came back two weeks later for another. This time I also ordered a carnitas burrito for my Gramma. She loved it. Not too many places in the north county to rave about when it comes to Mexican food but this place has not disappointed. Another important thing is the prices. Very reasonable!! I have paid much more for much worse. Staff is friendly. Inside the restaurant is a big space for dining and attached they have a banquet room that can be rented for parties! Congratulations to the new owners I wish you much success! Can't wait to come back and try another dish.“

“Absolutely a delicious ala carte Chili Relleno. The sauce was delicious, temperature hot and put some of the mild salsa (green) in with the red sauce for the Chips. Enjoyed immensely. Only thing missing is the shredded Iettuce and orange twist that restaurants put on as a side garnish which I really like and makes it a prettier plate presentation.“

“This is our first time at Finca, as we have heard a lot about it but as of yet have not been able to take advantage of an opportunity to dine there. We were pleasantly surprised, we had the Baja shrimp taco, very well seasoned, a little spicy, and very flavorful! The biggest surprise was the mashed potato and gruyere tacos! They had a spicy and creamy sauce drizzled over them, definitely going back!“

“We had just come into town and were looking for something "close" to our hotel. Google turned up with Off the 46 Mexican Bar & Grill and it was one of the most pleasant surprises we have ever had from a Google recommendation. Terrific service! Being newbies, we asked for recommendations and the owner suggested the Three Taco plates (it was Taco Tuesday, after all), and we just said "yes" to his suggestions. Very generous chips and salsa, and the three street tacos were the perfect size. All selections were excellent, and the service was friendly and first rate. The only "knock" if you will is that it is a narrow bar and grill with limited seating. None the less the next time we come to Paso we will be heading up the road to the Off the 46 Mexican Bar and Grill!“

“A new treasure in Paso Robles. This was our second visit in one week ! Lots of delicious food to choose from- eggs, sandwiches, salads $ soup- I had a veggie omelet that was fabulous. Everything is made from scratch- the service & servers are the best. They are open for Breakfast and lunch, plenty of tables and plenty of parking. Very wholesome foods- I highly recommend AGAPE.“

“My granddaughter keeps telling me I needed to eat here! We had takeout last week and she was right. The food is good, yes, but even the refried beans tasted creamier! Everything was fresh, dinners came with fresh lettuce, chopped tomatoes and sour cream on the side and the salsa and guacamole was fantastic. Now our #1 favorite here in A-town. It's also closest to our house, even better!!“

“Ordered a Chile relleno a la carte, good value for the price. Best Chile relleno I have ever had, hands down. It had lots of cheese, the batter was flavorful and the sauce was excellent. Also ordered two cheese enchilada combo to go. Nice big portion. The beans were delicious, rice was light and fluffy, enchiladas were amazing. The chips however were stale.. I'm sure the chips are fresh during the day. I did go late, 30 mins before closing. The restaurant was empty and there was no music playing. The decor is a little plain. Nice comfy booths with plenty of room for a big guy. My Modelo cheladas were very good as well. I'll definitely be back and recommend the Chile relleno to anyone who will listen.“

“We found Orale' by chance while shopping in Paso Robles. We decided on a late lunch. My wife ordered the taquitos and I ordered the chili verde. We both had an agua fresca. Everything was delicious!!! My wife's taquitos were plump and piping hot. The rice and beans served with our meals were both pleasing and authentic. The agua frescas were good and homemade. Now, my chili verde....that was another story. It was fantastic, flavorful, tasty and spicy in a very good way. This is chili verde that my grandmother made for my picky grandfather and that I miss so much. Wow!!! What a treat. The next time we're in Cambria, I will have to find an excuse to suggest to my wife that we make the drive to Paso Robles for lunch/chili verde. Hopefully she will respond, "Orale!!!"'“

“We stopped by this small Mom & Pop restaurant on NYR for dinner, but they had stopping seating as it was almost closing time. They allowed us to order to go and we sat at the bar for a drink while waiting for our food. We got to talking to one of the owners, so friendly and great convo. Our food came out and she let us eat our to-go order at the bar even though they were closed. I'm super picky about Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the flautas con papa plate and everything was delicious. My friends had the tacos and we all cleared our plates. The food was THAT GOOD. Definitely will go back when I'm in town again.“

“This place was so yummy for breakfast!! I tried the pancakes and the chorizo scrambled eggs. Everything was very tasty and everyone enjoyed their meals. The service was very fast and food got brought out very quickly. They were also quick to accommodate our large group and pushed a few tables together. Our waitress was so nice and very sweet and attentive as well. The decor is plain and nothing special but the food makes up for it. The churros were amazing too!! Overall this is a great spot for breakfast and we will def be coming back when we are in town.“

“The shrimp fajitas were on special and were absolutely phenomenal. The service was excellent. Our fully attentive waitress brought us three baskets of chips, and she never let a drink go dry. I had to comment to my wife how we never see service like that many places these days.Kid-friendliness: They offered a high chair but gave us a booth and we didn't need it. They were pleasant towards our daughter.“

“Stopped in 7pm or so on a taco Tuesday. It was empty of customers. Service was ok. Felt a bit rushed ordering tacos at the counter. Overall just ok. The grilled shrimp taco was good with a mango salsa and but the chicken taco was lacking flavor. Give me some sodium or something to add some flavor! The salsa bar was being tore down so not a lot of flavor help available there. Not a place I would rush back to - but I would come again to try something else and not on taco Tuesday. The gal working in the front was cheery and helpful and kind. The man. Not so much. Pricing was decent. Tacos, the smaller size ran about $3 which is standard arid here. The menu board is bright and cheery and easy to read. Prices clear.“

“Hole in the wall place, great staff. Very pricey for Mexican food in a shady area. Bowl of arbondiga soup 20 bucks. Not too good, couldn't eat it. I ordered avocado slices, and got half avocado with half of it inedible due to back bruises on it.“

“Delicious burritos, pan dulce, Mexican snacks and drinks. We ordered the carniatas burrito, chorizo and egg and the cali burrito. They were all so good but the Cali is AMAZING. Carne asada fries in a burrito. Yes, please! Green salsa was very flavorful and nice amount of heat. We also got some yummy snacks I haven't seen at other stores. Very nice folks running this place as well, everyone was so nice and food arrived quickly! 10/10 will return again“

“While driving up the coast from Colorado, we stopped at La Parrilla based on the Goggle reviews. Wow! We enjoyed our meals so much we made a special point of stopping by again on our way home. The food was great and a little bit unique. Thank you!“

“Absolutely delicious food!Home cooked at its finest. Had the enchiladas mix, yum!Chile rellenos covered in salsa- the best relleno we have had.Now the birria tacos and that consume!!! OH WOW! I will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!!!Tacos Doña Mari is the definition of home cooked meals.“

“Love to eat from this place! They got a lot of varieties of foods to eat!! It's hard to choose sometimes but everything on the menu looks very good. And tried a few of them myself and never disappoint! Highly recommend this place to everyone!!“

“Had the chicken, asada, and fish tacos, which were all excellent! Served with chips and salsa verde, for no extra cost, a really nice touch. The salsa verde was one of the best I’ve had anywhere: fresh, tangy, salty, and perfectly spicy. Highly recommend trying this place!“

“10/10. Amazing food and service. It's definitely an American version of Latin dishes but this Mexican approves! Chips with guacamole and salsa are always a must! And the salsas were delicious, unfortunately not spicy at all but very tasty. Our short rib meals were very savory. We also tried the pozole which did not disappoint.“

“The food is good, what I like is the taste of the meat for the head tacos, it tastes very good, it doesn't taste like old meat like in other places, the man of this taqueria found a way to eliminate that horrible taste, the service is more or less because the place is very small and sometimes you arrive and there is nowhere to sit and for health and hygiene due to the COVID I better not go in when it is like this since the people who mostly attend on weekends do not use face masks despite Being crowded at the tables may not give them an idea that it is not right because most of them are people belonging to a very beautiful part of Mexico where a language of the community is still preserved, rather a dialect, I mean Oaxaca how beautiful of them who live or meet many of them in certain places“

“We ate here as a group of 21 at two different tables and were given only one server! Though the service was slow, it was impeccable and our server, Olivia H, was so personable and congenial that we really didn't mind. She got every order correct, including all checks! The food was delicious and hot! We are on a Keto diet, and Olivia ensured that what we ordered was exactly what we needed and even suggested that we order some things ala carte because it would be cheaper! Highly recommend this dining facility!!!“

“Dined here tonight. The food was delicious, food came to our table quickly and 2 male servers that helped us were so kind and accommodating. We ordered the shrimp tostada, fried tilapia plate, and an asada taco with rice and beans. All were super yummy and I loved the green avocado/cilantro salsa that they bring to the tableWe are Paso locals and are excited to frequent this establisment!“

“You wouldn’t think it but this place has the best cheeseburgers in Paso Robles! I’m not kidding… hand patted 100% beef burgers! My wife says they are the best! Juicy… large… perfect burger!Try it for yourself! Look at the photo… real images don’t lie! I do a double patty!Kid-friendliness: Open and easy!“

“We’ve been regular customers since Jan 2011, at least monthly. The meals are always excellent. Wait staff has always been friendly and professional. We’ve taken family members and visiting friends and they are really impressed by the quality.“

“I was traveling from Santa Clarita up the 101 to meet some Amateur radio friends for a breakfast in Atascadero the other day. The Country Touch Café was selected from Yelp reviews and the meal did not disappoint. There were four of us and everyone reported they enjoyed the good foodI ordered the Cowboy Omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast for $16.50. Folded into the middle was a large portion of Ham, Sausage, Bacon and melted American Cheese. The plate was then smothered with a thick Country Gravy. That was a 5 Star meal right there. One of my friends stated that he always orders the Chile Verde when he goes to a new place. That is the yardstick he measures them by. He gave this place 4.5 out of 5. 5 Stars for the food and a half point off for the toast being a bit late. Hey, he likes his toast...Still that small inconvenience was not enough to mar the experience. If in the neighborhood again I will go back again.“

“The food is excellent but we never, not once, get the guacamole we paid for. We've always ordered by delivery. Even when I put a special note of, please don't forget the guacamole, still not there. This is not the delivery persons fault either. I believe it is the restaurants.“

“Súper clean and friendly! food top notch! Super picky about my Mexican food and this place gets it right every time has not disappointed. So far I've tried the pastor nachos, carne asada torta, breakfast burrito, tacos and my new favorite they serve weekends is menudo with home made tortillas! Family new favorite restaurant in town! Will definitely be back!“

“Very very very good tacos! Had two asada and one pastor. They were very good size and the flavor was on point. No grisly pieces of carne and just the right amount of heat. Ingredients were fresh and I really liked the way they cut their onions rather than dicing. Tasted like I was at a friends house eating his mom’s homemade food they were that good. 10/10. Guillermo even offered me a glass of water after ordering. Now that’s service!“

“This place is good. It's not super authentic, the burritos are stuffed with a rice mixture that's not my husbands favorite and their chips are nothing special, but for the price it's decent. The servers are usually friendly and helpful, ambiance is nothing special but their new building is nice!“
