There are no prices on the menu so I had to ask when I placed my to-go order. Burritos are $15 each, chicken quesadillas are just under $15. There's no extra fee for using credit cards or Apple Pay. We arrived to pick up our food and saw that Aliyah's is a humble shop located in the back of a convenience store. There are a few tables in a covered area. This is not a full service restaurant. If you want to dine in, you order at the counter and find a place to sit down. The lady employee was really nice and our food was hot and ready when we arrived. I asked for both the red and green sauce and they were both great, but just want to warn you that the red sauce is SPICY! I love spicy but this caught me by surprise. We got the chicken burrito, carnitas burrito, and chicken quesadilla. The burritos were pretty hefty in size and the quesadilla portion was big too! Flavors of all the food were fantastic, my whole family really enjoyed it! Definitely a hidden gem in the quiet town of Templeton, so if you're in the area, you should give it a try!

I was expecting a restaurant based on other Yelp reviews. So I was a little surprise to find…read moreAlijahs kitchen was a food stall with some tables under a canopy! You go up to the counter to place your order. They do not sell any beverages. You have to go to the liquor store next door for this! They do not publish any prices on the menu board so you have no idea how much each item costs. They bring your food to the table since we were dining there. While we waited for our food, we noticed lots of to go orders. The food was tasty and generous in portions except for the tacos. They were on the small side at $4 per taco! Taco came with just onions and cilantro. Would have tasted better if there was also some pico de gallo. The other food items were delicious.

Whole beans, lots of lettuce, felt like a nice healthy lunch. At the salsa bar there was a salsa de habanero which was pink. I've lived my whole life in SoCal and never come across this salsa before. Hot, but so refreshing, lots of lime. Could not stop eating it! Clean, super friendly, quick, and really delicious.

Highly recommended spot.

This place is so aggressively cute that I spent the first ten minutes just blinking at the decor in a state of pure sensory overload. It's the kind of cozy that makes you want to wrap yourself in a blanket and take a nap right there on the tablecloth. Then there are the servers. I'm convinced they are actually angels sent from above to cure my cynicism. They were so incredibly nice that I actually felt bad for ordering food--like, "How dare I ask these wonderful humans to bring me a taco when they are already providing so much emotional support?" I walked in as a regular customer and left feeling like I'd been adopted by a very polite, very efficient family. The food was, of course, spectacular. The salsa was so good that I briefly considered licking the bowl, but the servers were so classy that I decided to maintain a shred of dignity. If you enjoy being pampered in a setting that looks like it was designed by a professional "coziness consultant," get yourself to Finco Paso Robles. Just be warned: you will leave feeling slightly judged by your own home's lack of charm.

Tortilla chips also tasted fresh and home made. * Grilled Salmon Taco special -- Nice fresh chunks of salmon with cabbage, red onions and crema on fresh corn tortillas. * Grilled Chicken Quesadilla -- Choice of flour or corn tortillas. We went with the corn tortillas. Chicken was good, but the quesadillas definitely tasted better with our side of guac. Looking forward to coming back to try the Baja Fish Tacos which appears to be one of their signature items.

Service was prompt. The restaurant was almost empty due to the time of day. It was happy hour (we…read moreweren't aware when walking in), and we checked out the specials. Ahi crudo had such a small amount of ahi, it was questionable. Happy hour tacos were small on the protein and average on taste. The only thing we enjoyed was the jalepine cocktail. Fresh with pineapple and a touch of jalepeno and rimmed with chile and salt. Sad to visit a once special menu and find mediocrity. Yes, food prices are up but quality should not be so far down. Charge more if you must but this was disappointing. Try other spots in town. There are many with promise.

We've only ever come here on a whim, and because of that we usually end up sitting at the bar, but most recently we did get a regular table on a Saturday afternoon. They do take reservations if you want to make sure you secure a spot when and where you want. Favorites are still the tacos and Aguachile, especially the short rib tacos. We've also gotten nachos, oysters, ahi crudo, and taquitos, all of which we would get again. Food comes out pretty quick, but still seems to be very fresh. So it's a great place if you want to sit down, but still get out quick to go back to the wineries.

I wasn't the only one thinking it was taking forever. Another couple almost left. It took about 30 minutes for the burrito to come out. I'm usually pretty lenient when it comes to waits if it is communicated but there was no communication or even "sorry for the wait" said after. It was also a bummer because you tip at the counter when you order and I felt my tip was pretty generous but then didn't get the service I would expect. I really felt bad for the group of 6 people whose food came out one by one with one person finished as the last person got their food. Again a simple communication goes a long way. It could have been a bad day and their food made up for the lack of service so that's why they still get a 4.

First, the restaurant is quite small with a very quiet atmosphere--surprisingly so, especially with a jukebox that wasn't in use. The space didn't feel particularly clean, and the chairs were outdated and could definitely use some refurbishing. When we received the menus, I was honestly shocked by the prices. This is something I wish more reviewers had mentioned. We ordered a shrimp tostada (about $13) and shrimp fajitas (around $24). The shrimp tostada was disappointing--the shrimp was chopped so finely that it was hard to tell it was even there. It was overwhelmed by cucumber, tomato, and cilantro. The fajitas were similarly underwhelming: the shrimp were cut in half and curled up, with maybe around ten pieces total, but there was an excessive amount of large-cut onions and bell peppers, which made the dish less enjoyable. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the horchata we ordered was excellent. I did mention that the bell peppers were overabundant and cut too thick, but my feedback didn't seem to go anywhere. One concern I had was seeing staff handle multiple tasks--taking payments, cleaning tables, and serving food--without ever noticing handwashing, which was a bit off-putting. I'm not completely writing this place off, as I'd like to return and try their breakfast. Most reviews are positive, so perhaps this was just an off night. Still, given today's prices, I expect the quality to match. Beans were bland and rice was cold, I'm sure made way ahead of time. I'll update my thoughts after a second visit--judge for yourself in the meantime.

Then we moved onto breaded fish taco, shrimp taco, which were all perfectly cooked and seasoned and the tortillas were outstanding. I had the Governator, which was crisp corn tortilla, smothered in melted cheese, and then sautéed shrimp, cabbage, pico de gallo, and a green sauce. I don't think I've ever inhaled anything so fast. I had an Al Pastor Sopes, a thick, round corn dough (masa) topped with cabbage, sour cream, cotija cheese, red salsa and green salsa. The beans complimented the pork and charred pineapple perfectly. I highly recommend Taco Doña Mari - The sweet ladies cooking for you is like going home to Abuelitas kitchen.

I happen to be eating next door and noticed a steady trickle of people coming n going from Touch of Mexico. It peaked my interest enough that the next feeding time, we decided to dine there. Good decision. The staff was welcoming. The interior has simple ambiance. The vibes and food were also simply comforting. The Hubs ordered a crispy taco and tamale Combo. He liked both. I took a bite of the tamale. Yum. The menu stated ground beef but it was what I consider shredded beef. The beef was seasoned well, nice flavor. The sauce over the tamale was ah-mazing. I ordered a sope. I would have preferred the sope being fried a bit longer. It was on the softer vs fried crispy texture.

Consistency here is a huge issue. The exact same menu item can taste wildly different on a second or third visit. Perhaps they have multiple chefs?

The third time they were cold inside, the cheese wasn't melted, and there was a full tablespoon of seeds inside (the first two times the chef had cleaned the seeds). The chicken taco tasted off after one bite, so it was left on the plate. Their chips and salsa are very good, as are the beans and rice. Unfortunately the weak point is the main entree.
