When in Gonzales, this is a go to stop when they are open. Shrimp and fish tacos may be one of the best tacos I have ever had. Servers don't speak English, so I had a hard time telling them how amazing they were. Also their agua fresca Jamaica is very satisfying. Great food. read more

Terrible service, prices are high and the food isn't good at all. would not recommend.

The service here was not that great, our waitress was not very friendly. The food was so so and they had no prices on their menu. So when we got our bill I was shocked that it came up to $83.00 for three people... won't go there again....... read more

A+ carnitas tacos and quesadillas. Get the asada fries. Great service. Enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Chiloko - Carnitas and asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Gonzales, California

I admit that I was looking for a restroom en route to Pismo Beach. The Chevron station across the street had it's restroom locked, so I'd figure to try to restaurant next door. I also took advantage of grabbing a couple of tacos for a snack :) I ordered an octopus (!) and shrimp taco - about $2 each before tax. They came in a paper plate and was super hot - like fresh off the grill. Both tacos were well seasoned and on the spicy side. Octopus cooked tender and shrimp was good too. I should have ordered the fish taco to make it a perfect seafood trio. Would definitely recommend this place for a pit stop along 101S - food is very good at very decent price! read more

Chiloko - Fresh piping hot tacos - octopus (left) and shrimp (right). Just $2 each!! - Mexican Near Me - Gonzales, California

We had been trying to go to a nearby restaurant that was closed when we stumbled on Chiloko. The atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The service was mediocre. The enchiladas were mediocre. But I loved the chips and the lemon agua de Fresca. Maybe the best I've ever had! read more

Accidentally found this place, when looking for gas along the 101 going back home. Screw MickeyD's and other fast food joints. If you're on a road trip, just stop and get gas right next door (this place will probably be always cheaper than the other places, it's a Texaco..but there's a Valero right across the street that's the same price) and just grab some food to go or even just eat there. It's cheap and fast. I just grabbed 3 tacos since they were advertising it for 99cents- 1 each for me and my parents and after we ate it, we wish we bought 9 more. It seems like a local place, in the city of Gonzales.. where the music is BLASTING (mariachi) try it out to get some gas and to pick up some non-commercial food up for your road trip! read more

Stop on the way home in Gonzales to restaurants here. It's in the hole in the wall look at the menu everything the great ordered some huevos rancheros Wow they were amazing have a good food great prices good atmosphere good staff this is going to be one of my stops that I'm going to make on my way to the bay area you won't be disappointed read more

I had read good reviews and was hoping for an authentic mexican meal. Food is awful, table, seats, floor and menus are dirty/greasy. The tortillas tasted rancid as if the oil used for cooking was old. Prices on menus do not mean anything; you will be charged more and they charge you extra if you use a credit card. read more

This place used to be a very good very friendly restaurant. It has been going down hill from the service to the food. The last time we went there we ordered over the phone. The owner Oscar took the order. I ordered a botana for me and my husband and chicken nuggets and fries for my son. My husband went to pick up the order to find out that they had no more nuggets or fries. My husband told Oscar "You could of called us and let us know, we would have ordered him something else". He rolled his eyes and told him no we don't have fries hamburgers nothing like that. My husband was so upset at the way he treated him. He is the owner he should be more caring of his customers. If you are burned out you should really look into selling or passing on the business. No need to be so nasty to your customers. I will never go there again read more

As far as roadside taquerias go, one word: yum. Huevos rancheros, excellent. Carnitas tacos, muy bueno. The kids loved their quesadilla. All the drinks are bottled. Very authentic, tasty food. Get off the beaten path and go for it. Even the tortilla chips are crisp and tasty. read more

Chiloko - Mexican Near Me - Gonzales, California

See all

Shrimp tacos are really good. Good salsa. service is just fine. These are not the warm and fuzzy folks, but sufficient and friendly. I am regular there. Pretty much always got the food to go because there is a music machine inside and when someone out in money to play music, it is loud enough to wake up the dead a mile up the road. read more

Went there because I wanted tacos Al pastor. I hit up my go to taco truck but they were out of El pastor so I ended up going to this taqueria as it had always grabbed my attention but never got to going there. Place was clean,nice vibe and the lady that took our order was nice and helpful. I got 5 tacos Al pastor and I have to say they were good. The meat was well seasoned and tender. Nice crispy tortilla and not greasy as other places. Will go back to try other things in the menus. read more

Out here for the week, tried this place and honestly I dont know why this business is still operating. Worst food I ever ate in years. If you eat there ask for a fly swatter you will be needing it. NASTY FOOD...STAY AWAY. read more

This place RULES! Mostly frequented by locals, it's a little bit of a secret spot. For me it's an essential stop when driving up or down Highway 101. Try and plan your trip so you can stop here for lunch or dinner. Great food, and really friendly people. read more

One of the best restaurants of monterey county and good service. They have very good food go and enjoy.

Stopped at this place randomly on my way to frisco. When your from the city the locals can tell as they stare at you with a weird look but besides that food was great read more

Perfect hole-in-the-wall Mexican place. We all got burritos and they were excellent. The app is saying my review is too short so I'm just going to keep adding sentences. One time I sang in the shower so loud I got complimented on it by my neighbor. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. The derivative of e^x is e^x. That should do it. read more
