Friendly, chill environment. The staff were super patient when we had no idea what we wanted, made great suggestions and answered all of our questions. The food was amazing. We'll be coming back next time we're in town! We had the Haurache and the Mole enchiladas.

We came in to SLO to get away for the weekend. While looking for a place to eat... we landed on Mexican food bc ...c'mon... that's always the Go To meal when eating. We ordered on a Saturday night a couple hours before they closed. They in fact do deliver but u just missed their driver. Our hotel wasn't only but a mile away so I decided to drive there to pick it up. The young man who took my order was courteous and professional... and all our food was done with love. When I arrived at Taco King, the place looks like it would be a good place to eat, drink and be merry but if course covid had to F that up. Lol. But, I parked, walked in and he verified my order. He was very friendly and offered me plates, utensils and salsa. The food was delicious! I'll definitely be coming back here to order again and hopefully, have a proper drink when the Erf opens back up to normal... Did someone say micheladas!

After a 4 hour drive to San Luis Obispo for a soccer tournament, this place really hit the apot to end the day. The prices are decent and the food was amazing. Their Lucky Day I.P.A beer is a must for I.P.A fans. I ordered their quesadillas de asada and it was nice and hot when they served it. Went ahead and washed everything down with a double shot of Tequila. Such a nice finish to it. The vibe in the restaurant is amazing. I honestly don't know how that restaurant wasn't packed. Everything was perfect and my family and I left very satisfied. I wished I lived closer because we'd be dining there every weekend.

Love this place. So much good food on the menu but I always get the wet shrimp burrito. It’s incredible. Chips and salsa (salsa bar) are some of my favorite in SLO. Amazing service, always so friendly, helpful efficient. Atmosphere is great!

I’ve been here a couple times. Their chili verde burrito is the best I’ve had in the SLO area. Good taco and burrito place but average for the other dishes like fajitas (not homemade flour tortillas, get the corn) or enchiladas. Great service and good sized coke glasses.

My experience was superb! I walked in to place a to go order and received the best treatment ever! We were offered a seat, ordered a couple of draft beers while we waited, and we were served chips and salsa. The chips were warm and delicious with the perfect crisp! The house salsa, mango salsa, and jalapeno salsa were delish! Outstanding service, delicious food, and perfectly chilled glasses for our cold draft IPAs. Go in and enjoy the experience! Oh, and the birds... go check it out! Well worth every cent!

One key metric for Mexican food restaurants is the salsa bar...be careful here, you will love the variety of delicious salsas. You will be tempted to over eat chips and salsa. The value is outstanding as far as portion size and quality of the menu. Highly recommend.
