Taco De Mexico

This places doesn’t look the best, compared to all other slo business but it’s the most authentic feeling and food menu that feels like South Bay Los Angeles area. This ain’t no fancy food truck taco. They have good tacos and good plates. All served in that authentic polystyrene item.
They are really nice and have great portions.
I always recommend items that are cooked or that isn’t carne asada… Carne asada is always over cooked, salty and the most common meat no matter where you go. Try al pastor instead! It’s like a marinated pork! Awesome!

This place keeps it real. But sometimes reality is not something I’m into.
I had a burrito with cheese (I didn’t want meat), rice and beans. It seemed like I was asking for something very weird since she offered me one with meat AND cheese. After cleaning that up, she just asked me if I wanted onion/​cilantro and how hot I wanted my salsa, to which I naturally replied: «sí» and «picante». They didn’t ask for any other details, so I thought: cool, they got it.
The burrito was just ok, painfully average. And the salsa: not hot at ALL, which is unacceptable for a Mexican place. My husband’s carne asada burrito was poorly wrapped and «not good», according to him.
With so many Mexican options and such a terrible overall customer experience, I just don’t see a reason to ever come here again.
Oh, and I almost forgot: no chips and salsa, are you kidding me? My money could have definitely bought more happiness somewhere else.

Taco de Mexico is top notch Mexican food in San Luis Obispo. Right across the street from Taco Bell and next to jack in the box, it would be an absolute tragedy if you went to either of those fast food chains and not taco de Mexico. I always get their asada burrito with the hot salsa and it is mouth watering it is so good. The burritos are large. They could be two meals if you don’t want to over stuff yourself by eating the whole thing, but it’s hard not to eat the entire thing. They put a substantial amount of meat for all you burrito lovers who like a lot of meat and not just rice/​beans filling the majority of your burrito with a few slices of meat. The employees are very friendly and usually engage in short conversation and ask how you are doing etc. At ~$ 7 for a burrito you can never go wrong by going here, especially if you’re going to spend that much at Taco Bell per person anyways. They also have a variety of beer you can get and a lot more delicious sounding dishes on the menu. As long as I live in SLO I will be a frequent customer of Taco de Mexico.

Sorry Taco De Mexico, but your food tastes terribly.
Yes, I have high standards for mexican food growing up in a Mexican household with many trips to Mexico. But the food at Taco de Mexico is terrible. I know people love this place and there is always a line at the one in Morro Bay, and I keep giving this place a second chance but the food is awful.
The rice is dry, the beans taste old, the tortillas are flacid and bland and the meat is dry and tough. Ive ordered burritos and tacos and the carne asada is consistently dry and hard, while the tacos de al pastor have big chunks of hard meat.
I’m sorry! I want to like you, I really do! But the prices are too high to even warrant me trying this place anymore. From now on, the only place I go is Taqueria Santa Cruz.

Taco De Mexico was a solid slam after some crazy overpriced and disappointing Mexican in Paso Robles.
I had the two cod fish taco special, HUGE pieces of fresh tasty cod (not fried, seared :), crisp shredded cabbage with lemon wedge and light dressing. Fresh, light and crispy chips on the plate too!
My BF had a burrito, and it was solid but nothing extraordinary, sometimes solid is what you need tough at a great price.
This spot was clean, service was casually friendly and prompt. We did have to ask for a little extra salsa (didn’t see any out) but we just might be used to that in SF where every Mexican place has side salsas out for everyone.
