Fajitas
Richard H.

Went on a Friday night. Got a carnitas taco and Fajitas. The carnitas was awesome. Nice crispness and seasoning. The mixed fajitas were delicious with lots of shrimp and way more meat than the veggies just like it should be. Service was awesome. Will be back

Carne Asada quesadilla

Service and especially the food is always fresh and great tasting. This is my favorite go to spot for Mexican in Atascadero.

Great spot in Atascadero. They are fairly new and took over the old Burrito Express location. Though they have the same menu I was told they are not affiliated. Ordering through their web site or app "from the restaurant" is super easy. I had a chile relleno burrito and it was delicious! Came back two weeks later for another. This time I also ordered a carnitas burrito for my Gramma. She loved it. Not too many places in the north county to rave about when it comes to Mexican food but this place has not disappointed. Another important thing is the prices. Very reasonable!! I have paid much more for much worse. Staff is friendly. Inside the restaurant is a big space for dining and attached they have a banquet room that can be rented for parties! Congratulations to the new owners I wish you much success! Can't wait to come back and try another dish.

A pic of us enjoying the Resturant. Sorry next time good ;)

Totally totally totally recommend this place first of all. It looks kind of small on the outside but you walk in and there's quite a bit of room all the way back very clean very inviting. All the employees are so very welcoming and provide excellent service! The food, I can't say enough, just from the chips alone. Those were so good and tasted so fresh and the tortillas that they used amazing! We had the chorizo and egg tacos, which were super super good! And the salsa that they provided was so tasty and was fresh. I will definitely make the spot a place to go back to, we came in from out of town and from now on whenever we come in we will make sure to visit here. Thank you guys for making the visit so special. I didn't get pictures of food but next time I will.

I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was very friendly, welcomed us and told us we could sit wherever we would like and he took our order. He was Very friendly, very playful, which we enjoyed very much talking to him during our order. I Had lunch with my coworker. I ordered the Chile Verde plate. The meat was very tender and the chili sauce that was in it was not spicy but had a good flavor. The beans and rice gave it a great touch cause they both had a really good flavor as well. It came with either corn or flour tortillas which I ordered the corn tortillas which were very soft and tasted homemade. I will definitely eat there again when I'm in town. But you will have to go there and eat to form your own opinion.

Mmm! This restaurant has the best tacos and most friendly service ever. This is our 2nd time here…read moreand it's going to be our regular stop when we drive up and down from the bay are to SoCal. I love getting the 2 taco plate with Chile verde and carnitas and my husband gets shrimp or fish dishes. We also enjoy the freshly made complimentary chips and salsa. We had a friendly female server our first time and this time we met Nacho who was so nice and welcoming. We could tell that the place really prioritizes their customer service along with their food. We will be back!
