We were driving to LA and searched Taco's along the way. Decided to stop by this very small town off of 101. To our surprise, the food was so good and authentic. Had best Mexican food in a while. Service was great as well. Ambiance reminded me of small town in Mexico. Highly recommend if you are driving down on 101, you must stop and try the amazing food. read more

Taco Mafia - Taco Mafia - Mexican Near Me - San Miguel, California

Stopped by the tiny town of San Miguel for a taco fix. The restaurant is tiny and has an open kitchen so you can see the chef at work. There are several tables available inside and outside as well. The place is nice and colorful and inviting. You get chips and salsa at the table while you're waiting which is nice. The salsa had a great flavor. Food wise, I tried the asada tacos and the carnitas taco. I felt the asada was lacking a little seasoning and slightly chewy. The carnitas were delicious. I also tried the chicken enchilada which was my favorite. I ordered that with a side of refried beans which were very flavorful as well. Overall a solid pick for a Tex-Mex fix. read more

Our second time visiting Paso Robles and stopping by San Miguel for try their food. The first time it was amazing and was really authentic. This time it felt alittle different. Service was great, the waitress and chef were super nice. This time it felt more like Tex mex style and even American music was playing versus Mexican. It's not a bad thing. We tried their tacos and I had their carnitas burrito which was amazing and filling. Tacos were good and of course we got the chips and salsa. Salsa was ok. Didn't taste authentic to me but it was ok. The horchata was super good. Again, not saying it's bad, the food was great but not as authentic as the first time we went. This time it felt more Tex mex style. read more

Very friendly waitress. Great spot on the road, hits the spot! Big servings! Great music and bass under the palapa.

Food was not what you call Mexican. My taco was paired with the sope which made it all soggy and the taste was not at all good. My husband ordered shrimp tacos but the taste was not good so he said "do t eat lets go, I dont want to get sick." Drinks we good and our waitress was amazing. I went because of the yelp reviews but as we got there it said owner change in April. The sign in the kitchen said, Never Trust a stinky Cook! No maam! Ambiance was good inside, the outside needs work! read more

Out in the middle of nowhere. We stopped here on the way down. Lots of seats though. The service was friendly. We got a table inside and then they brought us some warm tortilla chips. We ordered the Lunch Burrito and Combination Chile Relleno, cheese enchilada and rice with beans. The beef in the wet burrito was good. This place is toddler friendly too! The waitress was very nice to our baby!! I heard this is one of two best restaurants in this small town. Cozy place. Private lot in front of restaurant read more

I ordered the hard shell taco plate to-go for lunch and it was so good. The to-go plate was sturdy and packaged well. I got chicken with rice and the portion was so filling and the chicken was moist plus the rice was also flavorful. I also got complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was good and I ended up saving the left over since it was that good . I ended up going there later for dinner. We sat down and the setting in the restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The wait wasn't too bad and we got complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was mild , definitely fresh and homemade. I ordered a cheese enchilada combo with rice and my husband ordered a chicken salad. Both great sized portions. The quality, price ,and service was great. We will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu and recommend. read more

I ordered a avocado tostado.. excellent. Ingredients very fresh and tasty. Service great!

Absolutely delicious. Great service. Foid freshly cooked. We look forward to coming back!

This is a small restaurant tucked in a corner. There is indoor and outdoor seating available (flies are relentless if sitting outside). Service was nice and prompt. There are a few parking spots available right in front of the outdoor eating area. Upon being seated, the waitress brought out a giant bowl of tortilla chips and medium spicy salsa. I tried the asada and chicken tacos. The portions are generous and the plates have tons of meat! They had some kid's meal options, which was also generous in size. The flavor is more on the mild side of things. read more

Although it was not on the menu, when I asked if they could modify the burrito to add grilled vegetables instead of their meat items it was not a problem at all. I think this was one of the best veggie burritos I have ever had because the grilled vegetables were cooked to perfection! We often travel by San Miguel and this will become our new place for meals because it is an easy stop right off the highway and it has plenty of parking for our travel trailer. Oh yes, and the service was excellent too. read more

Great place to stop off the 101 just south of the San Miguel rest stop. Outdoor seating with a few palapas step from the parking. No steps and easy access for husband who has a cane. Would be ideal for also folks with walkers or wheelchairs. Table service. We enjoyed our visit and the guacamole was fresh and tasty. They also have hard shell tacos! yum. read more

Taco Mafia - Beef fajitas. The small flour tortillas taste and look like homemade. - Mexican Near Me - San Miguel, California

Food was okay, I may be biased because we're in the Bay Area where I feel like the Mexican food is just so much better, it's noticeable. The service was okay. I see other rave reviews about the service and idk if we came at a bad time or someone was having an off day, but it was subpar at best. Ambiance was fine, cute little place with an outdoor seating area. I would be willing to try it out again, we have friends in Arroyo Grande and visit often so I'd give it another try. read more

great food and even better service! Tania is so personable and offers a fast service! thank you for being in San Miguel!

Very small place in San Miguel right off the 101. I thought the map was giving me wrong directions as I left the boulevard in this town that only has one major road. When I found it and went in they had just opened so I had the place to myself. Staff were friendly and fast. The table salsa was very flavorful but lacked spice. I ordered 2 shrimp tacos al a carte. When I initially got my plate I thought the order was wrong, I could not see the tortillas underneath the mounds of shrimp. They cook the shrimp in a finely diced pico de gallo and serve it inside the taco. Overall it had a nice flavor and the two were enough to eat leaving me full. If I'm in the neighborhood again I would definitely go again! read more

I've returned with C to have dinner at her favorite spot in town. My last visit was not so convincing that this place is as good as the five stars shown on Yelp. In all fairness we returned and I ordered four shrimp tacos, and a side of guacamole, C had a chicken qusa dilla. I will say that everything was Great! Plenty of shrimp on my street taco's, flavor was outstanding. The qusa was thick with chicken and cheese a meal in itself...now I can see why there were so many five star reviews, hard earned and well deserved. I'll look forward to another chance to experience some of their other offerings. Cheeses burgers here...humm Foodguy-Martin read more

Incredibly delicious food for the price. Ever time I order a large burrito I am amazed by the size. It's not stuffed with potatoes or tator tots! It has so much meat and good stuff!!! My wife was so happy with her taco salad. I would highly recommend this restaurant. 5 stars from Phish! read more

Loved it. Stopped in when I was on my way back to Morro Bay after driving up to Mission San Antonio de Padua in Jolon. Service was friendly and fairly quick. The Mafia Burrito was delicious. Big shock I chose carnitas. I love carnitas. I also ordered some guacamole with the chips before the meal came. It was pretty good. Very fresh. And the beer was ice cold. The burrito was huge. I debated taking some of it back to Morro Bay but before I could decide, I'd finished it LOL. If ever I'm back in San Miguel, I'll definitely stop here. read more

This is a must-try for taco lovers! The fish tacos are some of the best I've had. They are served like street tacos with two small corn tortillas per taco. The fish was grilled and served with lots of finely chopped veg. There was a light sauce but it was more like a lemon drizzle than a sauce. So good! We also had chicken tostadas and a giant burrito. The chicken on the tostadas and in the burrito was shredded and braised in a rich and flavorful sauce. It was so tender and made the dishes outstanding. The ambiance was great! We sat outside under a thatched umbrella. It was so pleasant. And to top it off, the service was great. From the time we arrived to the time we paid the bill, everyone was so friendly and went out of their way to be welcoming. Such a gem of a restaurant! read more

Taco Mafia is my go to Mexican food in Paso Robles/San Miguel area hands down. The Large Burrito is always excellent, I definitely recommend to get it wet style, the sauce is very flavorful and the carne asada has great taste. The house salsa is also very enjoyable and has a slight kick that most people can handle. What made this restaurant truly stand out was the top-notch staff who were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. Anytime I visit San Miguel, my family and I always try to make a trip to Taco Mafia. In conclusion, Taco Mafia offers seriously delicious food, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Just come prepared to indulge! read more
