“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!“

“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.“

“This place has everything you would want in a Mexican restaurant

Number one – free chips and salsa bar

Number two – refillable drinks

Number three – huge portions

Number four – lots of affordable options

After being recommended to come here for a Carnitas burrito, we sidestepped and actually got a Carnitas fries. Super glad we did. Definitely shareable for two people. The fries were just the right thickness in between a steak fry, and a shoestring fry. Tons of white whole grated cheese. A delicious avocado sauce. And your choice of meat. And lots of it. We chose the Carnitas and thought they were pretty good. Although they were more cubed than shredded. Will definitely get this again, but we will try a different meat.“

“Quick and efficient service, tasty and filling food. I worked in this restaurant as a teenager, when it was El Mariachi, and it’s all basically the same menu items and decor. I find that pretty comforting. The chips and salsa are quite literally the best around.“

“les recomiendo los camarones embueltos en tocino. la comida siempre esta fresca y el servicio es excellente.“

“Hole in the wall restaurant but food is good! We got tacos, a molcajete, and some agua chiles. Delicious and cheap! I also ordered a michelada, it was tasty. The taco meat was crispy and full of meat! They also gave us plenty of salsas and chips. Will be coming back“

“Absolutely amazing place must visit if you are at all into tacos. This is not your average taco. The Carne Asada was packed with good quality meat and the shrimp taco was also wonderful. They’re price 6 to 8 dollars but well worth it.
Nice exterior, clean inside and out
I also had the pineapple fresco, which was wonderful“

“The best kept secret if you want a steak. This is the best Mexican food I've had in North County. I judge Mexican food starting with the rice and beans, and theirs is exceptional. It's a diner style environment, so if you're looking for hipster Mexican get on down the road. Otherwise this is the place.“

“We loved the atmosphere and the food for sure. Restaurant was busy and the Service for us was way under par. Got drinks and water pretty fast but food was really slow and we had ordered chips with salsa and guac when we first sat down, but food showed up first. We asked about the chips,salsa and guac and the waiter said is should of been here already. To his credit he brought the chips and salsa and said they would take them off the bill. But guac never arrived. Also once food arrived we only saw the waiter once before we were almos finished eating, and then not again for about 30min to get the bill.

I would still recommend Fish Gaucho as the food was great and I think it was just a very busy night but service should never be that sparce...“

“Muy buena comida mexicana“

“Came for the 1.99 tacos on Tuesday as I was doing some laundry next door. Driven by for awhile but had never stopped in.

I ordered 2 buche, 2 carnitas, and an al pastor taco, and grabbed a sidral mundel from the cold case. All that came to $13! Once I got them I knew it was going to be a good deal. The tacos where piping hot with a big pile of grilled onion and a grilled jalapeno, plus a packet of their own hot salsa. The staff was super friendly and bustling along too and the soundscape was delightful with some Banda on the speakers and the clang and sizzle of the grill in the back.

The buche is my favorite I've had in the area, with bigger pieces than other buche I've encountered but that same juicy, tender meat with firmer bits. The carnatis where delicious too, not as juicy, but that great carnitas mix of textures, meaty taste and some skin pieces that had rendered down. The al pastor meat was solid, nothing amazing, but I could taste the seasoning clearly and it wasn't dry at all. I forgot the hot sauce as I dove into most of the tacos but did have it on a couple. It was bright and fresh with a bit of legitimate heat, good sauce. Really satisfying meal during a heck of a rough week.

The store inside had a modest but nice selection of snacks and sweets, a big selection of drinks, tortillas, pinatas, some toys, and common produce items at Mexican markets like limes, onions, etc. A one stop shop for a dang fine time. Some meat items like the fajita prepped chicken or Al pastor may draw me in too, but I'd probably go to other carnecerias for things like arrachera.

Came back an hour later to get some asada tacos for my wife, she loved them and noted their meaty goodness and solid mild salsa. I know I'll be back for Taco Tuesday, and would go out of my way for the buche at full price too. Should try a burrito too...“

“Thank you for your excellent customer service. We’ll be back.“

“This is the quintessential hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. I didn’t really believe there was a restaurant in the complex. Very low key. But you know what they say about hole in the wall food places, the food was fire! Salsa and chips were out of this world. And the stead with onions…delicious! Well worth searching this place out.“

“I loved the art works and how diverse the type of art they had everywhere. We had minimal contact with our server and I've had better food than what I ordered there just down by Wells Fargo. I don't remember the name of that restaurant but its just a little hole in the wall family owned and operated business. But in all fairness, the food was basic and I could hardly eat it due to a big hole my teeth caused in the side of my tongue sometime earlier that week. My jaw locked up and finally released without warning causing me to chop down and rip a big laceration in my tongue. Couldn't eat without pain for over a week. Overall, I enjoyed my time there but mostly for the decor and horchiata drink.“

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

“Servicio amabilidad y calidad“

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

“Great food especially chorizo burrito!! 😋“

“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.“

“Some of the best and most authentic Mexican food coming out of paso robles. Every time I've gone with my partner or group settings, always the same gentleman taking care of us, always giving us the best service, and wait time for any dish is quick. Setting wise it might not have the appeal like the rest of paso but you can't beat the price, service, or authentic taste of every dish.“

“We had lunch there for my wife's birthday. Loved the food. In addition, our server brought her complimentary tequila and flan. Highly recommend.“

“Service and food always awesome❤️“

“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!“

“Todo está delicioso 😋 100% recomendable“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“🌮 Taco Tuesday!! 🌮

The al pastor tacos were absolutely delicious—so flavorful and definitely a must-try! 🤤 And the michelada had me SOLD! 🍺

Such a family-friendly environment, and the staff members are super friendly and welcoming. Great food, great drinks, and great service!

Definitely will be coming back soon!“

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

“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.“

“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...“

“I love the food, I love the servers but I have bad breath all day :)“

“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“

“This place seems to hire great managers. Been coming here a while and usually everything is great. Sometimes when there's an issue the manager goes above and beyond to make it right. Great staff here. Appreciate it. Also, i dont think I've ever been here and not seen homeless people hanging out.“
