I drove over here to Susy's a place to park and...Oh lets get a burrito to check it out. Her commercial kitchen is as "home style" as allowed. Susys was finishing an order for a dine in family. She asked me what I wanted and here I sit, anticipating. Done in a few minutes, sauce spicy or mild? spicy. Chicken burrito with everything, it was certainly piping hot, a few tortilla chips and I was stylin' The tortilla chips were cooked here, the two dipping sauces, wadda ya think...very flavorful! I sat out back in the "garden" a perfect pre-summer setting. The burrito was wrapped in foil, no waxed paper barrier to deal with. A good burrito, I had expected more protein and generally more filling. I get it everything is expensive these days and folks are cutting what and where they can to keep a buck. I'd certainly return if need be but Mexican food and places to get it are abundant in the CC. Thanks Susy, I enjoyed what I could of my dinner, nearly done when the text came thru to the kids "we're standing out front" to get picked up. Ah Foodguy-Martin

We've just…read moremoved to a month ago and so we've been trying a lot of different restaurants and this one is definitely at the top of my list. The flavors were amazing my husband and I both ordered the three tamales dish with rice and beans.

The menu is very small, which is always a good sign. They give you a buzzer after you order. It took about 15 mins to receive our food. We ordered the street tacos (4) of al pastor, carne asada, chicken $12.50 and a lunch burrito with carne a la Mexicana with added avocado $13.50. The tacos were small, but can't complain when it's only $3 each. Al pastor was the best, chicken and carne asada were ok. The burrito was massive and had a ton of meat. I noticed there was regular beans and refried beans. Minimal rice. Guacamole was very fresh. Tortilla was possibly housemade. Well balanced ingredients overall. They said the carne a la Mexicana meat is spicy by default, but it wasn't spicy at all to me. They have a light green and an orange sauce. Orange sauce is mildly spicy. Prices and portions were good overall There is only 1 bathroom, but it is clean and fully stocked. Open seating. There's counter seating and some large picnic tables. They sell some beverages but most people brought their own. They only have a few parking spots of their own but there's plenty of street parking. I would go back for another burrito and try their birria tacos

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!

The gentleman helping us were patient and super helpful. There were a number of items out. The staff were apologetic and good at communicating with us after we had already ordered. The staff were also great about cleaning the tables as diners have to bus their own tables. The carne asada super burrito was a hearty portion. It served as two meals for me. The carne asada had great flavor. I'm a big fan of lettuce in my burrito. I should have read the description better and omitted that. Other than that, the burrito was good. The star of the meal was the fish ceviche tostada. Generous portion of fish. Excellent flavors. Love that there wasn't an up charge for avocado. The chips and salsa were complimentary. I don't know if it was just a batch that had been sitting out at the end of dinner rush, but they were on the stale side. The salsas were awesome.

The yellow corn tortillas are delicious and the salsas are great too. The green salsa is incredible and super spicy. The red one is a little less spicy but good as well.

It is really big but a lot of it is just the bread. The staff are on it and very friendly. They have a table that you can sit at and eat or you can just pick up to go but I would recommend that you call ahead so you don't have to wait. My wait time was about 20 minutes or so. Not bad.
