Our Guestbook
“ I ordered the Carnitas Super Burrito (4.5 Stars) with no beans (I don't need the extra fuel.. doh!) and rice (or carbs) Everything was fresh and wrapped right.. super good! The salsa verdi and pico de gallo was great, perfect for the chips and burrito. Great taqueria! ”
“ This place is worthy of five stars. Does that mean it's fine dining? Absolutely not. But it's a place that's open late (usually until 11pm), is shockingly affordable (I got two quesadillas and two tacos for $16), has a phenomenal and free (!!) salsa bar + chips, is clean (I felt totally at home here), and has friendly service. If you're looking to impress someone, or for a dining experience you'll never forget, this isn't the place. But if you're hungry and want a quick bite? This place is amazing. ”
“ Easy free parking with free chips too! Melon (cantaloupe) drink was BOMBBBBBB, very sweet but refilled my drink like 1-2 times. Prices are decent and portions are great in comparison to other places. Quality is good and they make it on the spot! Quick service and both sauces (green/verde) are bomb ”
“ Just moved to SLO and i've been here 3 times a week for the last month. Inexpensive and great mexican food, and great service. Comes out right away and has a good ambiance to wait in. ”
“ THIS IS THE PLACE FOR CHEAP MEXICAN FOOD!! I got an enchilada and fish taco, it was delicious. My friends got other tacos and burritos that looked amazing as well. They have a self serve chips and salsa which is a WIN in my book. The food came out so fast and I even had leftovers!! ”
“ Could duke it out with any mission burrito at any establishment in San Francisco - facts. I will come here forever if they let me. I live in LA, do I just randomly drive 3 hours to SLO to get these burritos when I want? Maybe... maybe that's the move, I promise.. ”
