Hands down the best menudo in town! It's rich, flavorful, and served with all the perfect sides like oregano, roasted chile de árbol, fresh lemon, onions, and cilantro, so you can customize every bite just the way you like it. You can even request handmade tortillas, and they are absolutely delicious and worth it. If you prefer, they'll gladly add hominy as well. On top of the amazing food, the customer service is outstanding, something that's becoming harder and harder to find these days. A true gem and an absolute must-try if you're ever in Santa Maria. read more

Senor Taco - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Food: 3 - 4. Came by for a weekday lunch based on a recommendation of their cabeza tacos. Place is located next to a convenience store. There is limited parking. Inside is bigger than it appears from the outside. Inside seating is at tables and the counter. Ordering is at the counter or at your table. Menu prices are only on the wall behind the counter. Ordered an asada taco, cabeza taco, carnitas taco, and an asada plate. Individual taco prices are not posted. Extra $1 is charged if paying by credit. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought to our table. Chips were light and crispy and salsa was good (mild spicy). Ordered food came out timely and at the right temperature. Tacos were meaty and good. For me, I liked the cabeza best, asada, then carnitas. In regards to the asada plate, portion was good but meat tasted bland. Meat tasted better after adding more asada type seasoning and refrying at home. Service was good. Service: 3.75 Ambiance: 3.5 Value: 3.5 read more

This place is ok.i always order the green chilaquiles with 3gg an steak an its always good its alil on the wet side so be ware.

Place was very flavorful only thing is they need to add more chicken in the burrito it was more rice and beans then anything. Other then that you should give them a shot maybe ask for extra meat. read more

Do yourself a favor and do not order a burrito here. Super dry meat (as if it were from the day before), almost no beans in the burrito, and tons of dry rice. Used to love coming here for a consistently good burrito but that is no longer the case. Service was good and quick along with a quiet ambiance. Definitely order something else if you consider coming here. Red salsa was good at least! read more

Great authentic Mexican food. My fav are the soft chicken tacos. Chicken is juicy and easy to chew. They are loaded with cilantro and fresh onions. A taste treat for everyone!! read more

The floor is so greasy you will slip if you're not careful. Ordered a bowl of pozole soup... 14 dollars later... and 20 minutes later... still no soup. I will not recommend, nor will I return. read more

Senor Taco - a person's feet on a tile floor - Mexican Near Me - Santa Maria, California

I used to love this place but the food has changed not sure if different cooks. Their chips and salsa are still good but their gorditas are not the same consistency anymore it's a tough texture. Their shrimp and fish tacos were ok. Just seems that the food has lost it's flavor. read more

Not the worse but definitely not the best. My mom ordered a huarache and it was dripping oil. The food was okay but I ordered an order of hard tacos and I bit a piece tasted of pure salt. There isn't a lot of flavor and customers were coming in without masks. Overall not a place I would recommend or go back to. read more

Senor Taco - Huarache oil. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Maria, California

I saw good reviews mixed with some bad, and decided to try it out. I understand when employees are confused or a little shocked when I ask for a vegetarian burrito, it may seem simple but if someone has never encountered it, it will seem weird. But at least don't take a negative attitude toward me for it, and especially charge me $1 more (chef told cashier $1 more). If I wasn't with others, I would gone somewhere else. Update: Went back because I was hungry and right there in that area and wanted to see if I'd get charged extra. This time no problem and didn't have to explain myself. read more

Husband and I haven't been to señor taco since they first open up. We wanted to give them a try again. The food was better then last time I can remember and the customer service was awesome. Good atmosphere and good food. We'll be back. read more

I was recommended this establishment from a coworker and I have to say he was correct. I love the food here. I have only tried the chile Verde and the wet carne asada burrito with green sauce. Both were awesome. Food did not take long to get to my table and was pipping hot when it arrived. Friendly staff, and clean establishment. Portions are big too. My friend made the mistake of ordering 2 sopes. Will definitely come back. I recommend the chile Verde plate. read more

Senor Taco - Wet Carne Asada Burrito green sauce. Arrived hot and in just a few minutes. Little spicy for the average person but perfect for me. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Use to be good before the pandemic , now food is awful they use old beans, burritos use to have a good amount of meat now they stuff it with old beans and rice with a tiny sliver of meat pork or chicken, very disappointed. read more

Omg! So my hubby and I went to vaquero for Cali fries and they were closed so we came to senior tacos and asked for carne asada nachos on fries instead of chips. Added shrimp and guacamole. It was so f'n bomb! He had a beer with it. We sat at the bar and got out of there for $20. 00 including tip. We couldn't eat it all so we still have 1/2 to eat for a midnight snack. Defiantly going to order that again. read more

Chilaquiles was great super spicy, only thing I didn't like was my beans were cold. Food came out in 15 minutes but it was busy this Sunday. I added cabbage and radish to mine and it was sooo good! Plan for it to be spicy tho! They do offer chilaquiles in red and green. read more

I love the food here! The flautas are bomb ! And the food here it's definitely much better than other Mexican food places. Taste like authentic Mexican food.! read more

I love Sr. Taco!!! Prices are great, very reasonable. Sr. Taco's food is flavorful and delicious, always freshly made. It tastes like it came from Aubelita's kitchen. The restaurant is always very clean, they take pride in it. The staff is always attentive, courteous and polite! Don't worry if you don't speak Spanish, they speak great English as well. The owner personally brings you a basket of free chips and salsa while you wait for your take out - EVERY time, and the salsa is amazing! They added a new bar/dining counter and they now have beers on tap as well. I've tried every taco they have - they are all great, but their carnitas and tripas are on point, some of the best I've had. read more

Awesome food!!!! Grate service!!! This place is close to my house and has really good food. The prices are really good as well. This place is gonna get allot of my business!!! read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had. Super friendly and nice ladies at the front and their chefs did an amazing job. They love to conversarte with their costumers and they meet their expectations read more

We ate everything on the menu and it was superb. I didn't bother reading the reviews. I just tried it myself. Once again, yelp "critics" have failed miserably. I almost missed this place because of the low stars! read more

Apparently some others have had a bad experience here. But I guess I've been lucky so far and haven't had something in my food or waited too long. I like this place because it's super close to where I live and I just drive a few minutes as opposed to driving somewhere else like La Picosita (but I totally would). I'm not an expert on Mexican food so all I can vouch for is the flavor. I always get lengua, carne asada, and al pastor - to which I judge a taco place on their lengua. The lengua is super good, really tender and flavorful without being too over powerful. One star less though cause the tortillas can be either really soggy or perfect. But I'll still come here anyways! read more

Really bad customer service. The restaurant only had one table being service the cashier took over 10 min to get our table clean. Took 15 min to take our order she was just flirting with the customer who was on the table. To top it off took over 30 min to get our food and we were the only customers. Visiting from LA and we definitely won't be coming back. read more

This is my absolute favorite place in Santa Maria!! My food always gets to me in a timely manner; they never take longer than 5 minutes but the food comes hot and tastes fresh! The prices are great & doesn't reflect the quality of the food! The employees are very kind, and ultimately the atmosphere when you're eating in the restaurant is very friendly. read more

this place fucken sucks now. I've been there twice cause its a Mexican restaurant thats close to where I live.. 1st time I went i ordered a shit ton of tacos, and a total, quesadilla. I was given two of the small salsas and asked for a few more cause of all the food and they said they charge. I showed her how I had two bags of food and compared it to the salsas she gave it to me at the end but she said they normally charge for more then 2 salsas. stupid I get it if its less food but cmon dude I had a lot of food. 2nd visit two days later a different cashier approached the counter not a hi or anything just stared and gave a look like ‍ i asked for the same taco I ordered the 1st visit just shrimp and lettuce 2nd cashier said how its pre-mixed with everything already I explained to her how I just ordered it two nights ago and the last cashier said nothing of sort I also ordered enchiladas of cheese and I got home and they were chicken I called to explain how the enchiladas were messed up and she said she would get started on them right away I got there and she was going to lunch an older cashier had told the cook for the 1st time to re-make the enchiladas. this place sucks. read more

Really good food the customer service was on point. Food was amazing and I have no complaints also my gf really liked the fries and she rarely like fast food we will definitely come back for more. read more

My husband and I are new to the area, and decided to stop in Sr. Taco simply because it's close to our new place and looked interesting. Boy are we glad we did. The menu is unique for sure, and very very flavorful. I had a chorizo burrito, and he had a torta cubana. Go there- it's a gift for your tastebuds. We will be back for sure :) read more

I was going to return to another place here but figured I should try something else. Pretty small place and the table was just a bit dirty but fine by me. I got just an asada taco and chips and salsa. The taco was authentic style - 2 corn tortillas with meat and onions, cilantro and lemon wedge on the side. Very nice flavor, although I didn't care for the red sauce it came with. The chips were very good as well. Not greasy at all, but the basket was enough for 4 people! I really liked the green salsa with them. Overall, didn't knock my socks off but pretty tasty. read more

I have eaten here twice and my wife and I both have had the Torta Cubana. It was good. The sandwich is just as pictured. By the way, the menu is all pictures with the prices. It's very easy to read and understand. Let me finish explaining though about the Torta Cubana. It is a mouthful with carne asada,chorizo,ham and egg along with mayo,tomato,lettuce and a mild green pepper slice. It is a different but good take on the traditional Cuban sandwich. read more

To bad i cant leave zero stars, my wife got sick after eating here, we went to the doctor and she got ecoli. It couldnt have came from anywhere else and she was sick an hour after eating here AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! read more

Every time I come here it's delicioso, to the T, plus the owner is a hard working viejito that is always working and greeting his guests... He personally brings you your chips n salsa. I've had the tacos, a burrito, chile relleno & nachos. It's all good so far. They now have brew in Tap. Love it be nice and try it. Side bar/ I've never got sick from this place! read more

Darn good burritos and shrimp tacos. The best in Santa Maria. Would recommend this place if your feeling like some authentic Mexican food.

New in town, just had an early lunch at this restaurant, i am positively surprised, good food and reasonably priced.
