    We were on our way to the coast from the Central Valley and stopped in here before wine tasting. The place is charming. The woman who took our order was very nice. I had a chicken taco and a carnitas taco. Both had good flavor although they were dry. My friend had a breakfast burrito which she also said had good flavor, but was dry.

    Little hole in the wall in downtown Templeton behind a convenience store but don't let that deter you. We ordered the Asada burrito bowl was which delicious and a veg big portion size. We also got the ceviche, asada nachos which were also good, especially the nachos. I would highly recommend, solely for the food. They don't have sodas, or offer water or anything so keep that in mind. However, there is a convenience store next door where you can get sodas and such. They only have covered and uncovered outdoor seating areas, so there's no indoor dining option. I would consider fast, casual dining. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this place is a good find in North County.

    Another view of the same overpriced, entirely generic tasting burrito from Aliyah's.

    Came to patronize the little shop, left disappointed by ordinary food flavor, portion size (see photos) and price. NOTE: The "whole burrito" photo with the Sharpie (for size comparison) is missing very small bites off of the top, consisted entirely of store bought flour tortilla. $15.+ total price for a carnitas, bean, cheese and sour cream burrito is entirely unacceptable from a back of another store operation. Almost anywhere for that matter. This American of Hispanic descent knows what I want and expect in this specific order wherever I order it from. This was NOT it. Your mileage may vary but I'm one and done at this place. P.s. You are forewarned that if you want to pay by card, there is an additional fee that is NOT posted for the patron to note. I asked if there was a fee before I paid with cash thus saving what I consider to be the vendors operation expense, not mine.

    Fantastic food! Great people to deal with. We used them for a Baptism Reception. The menu was Tacos: Carne Asada, Al Pastor, & Pollo. They had all the trimmings...Pineapple, Onion, Cilantro, Radishes, Red & Green Salsa. Rice & Beans. They supplied all the plates, napkins. They came to my house set up their planchetta and cooked everything their fresh and hot!!! Not premade... Not sitting in a hot box... In my opinion, if they do that good of a job for a catering job...you know they will have fantastic food at their restaurant. Try them and see.... I almost forgot...... They brought plenty of CHIPS & SALSA!!!!

    What a find

    Well, we were in Templeton CA for 4th of July parade and were looking for breakfast before the start of the parade. We noticed this small place which showed promise. And I swear, we had the best Mexican fare in our lives!! No two ways about it. We got carried away not only with the humungously huge and flavorful breakfast burrito with Chorizo but also with the wafer thin corn Tortilla that was used to wrap it together. Fast forward to 2021 Christmas Holiday parade in Paso Robles and guess where we went for breakfast, of course to Aliyah's Kitchen, where else!! Along with our last time's favorites, we also ordered the Pozole - a massive hit with all of us, and Al pastor taco plate - seconds were automatically ordered for this and Shrimp Ceviche, another favorite that we never found so fresh and enticing ever before. The best part is this that place is run by a sweet couple and their daughter - a complete family enterprise who are so humble n true and ready to do anything to make their customers happy. With their sincerity and commitment to service, the great and fresh Mexican cuisine prepared and served right in front of you, I see great future for this place. If you happen to be Paso Robles or Templeton, or just driving on 101 through here, you must come here for a wonderful and filling meal - breakfast lunch or dinner, after all they are open from 7 am to 9 pm all days! And while you are there do not miss the lightest and smoothest Flan that tastes like heaven !

    Two Shrimp Tacos plate.

    Hands down the best shrimp tacos in Templeton. Nice authentic Mexican food. I absolutely love their shrimp tacos very well seasoned and with all the fixing they are amazing. The food is priced just right. The burritos are very flavorful and juicy. This hidden Gem is a must try in Templeton. Location has plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor shaded picnic tables. Excellent customer service. Location is always busy but the service is fast.

    A Definite Diamond in the rough! Loved this place. Took a chance on a newer place with less reviews and we all loved it. Drinks are sold at the store by the front of the street but the great Mexican food is in the back. Parking is in the back. Covered eating area as well as outside area. Lots of pico, cabbage and onion on each dish. Ghost pepper hot sauce on the table for anyone daring to try. The house green salsa is very mild and sweet. Red sauce is a little hot and both have great favor. Asada was perfect and they were generous with it. carnitas burrito was so flavorful, you'll love it. Nachos come with everything on them so enjoy!

    Taco plate. Yum!

    Tasty food at a place with ample outdoor and some indoor seating. Delicious foods. I especially…read morelike the street tacos on Taco Tuesday. Service is from the window but the staff is always friendly.

    We finally made it to La Chata in downtown Templeton after hearing so many good things, and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the word of mouth. We had the chance to meet the owner, Erika, who is an absolute gem. She walked us through how she makes everything from scratch daily, and it truly shows when the plates arrive. The presentation was beautiful and the food tasted just as good as it looked. I ordered the red enchiladas and they were incredible. Erika was also so thoughtful and brought our son his own rice and beans to go along with my plate, which we really appreciated. My wife had the chicken taquitos and couldn't stop raving about how fresh and flavorful they were. Portions and pricing felt extremely fair, especially for the level of quality compared to the average North County Mexican spot. The downtown Templeton location is quaint and charming with easy parking. Between the amazing food and Erika's top notch service, we'll definitely be back often, especially once we move to Atascadero and are only about 10 minutes away. We're excited to have them nearby and will absolutely be passing along the same positive word of mouth!
