Menu 2/13/26
Kellie C.

Counter service with a few tables inside and outside (awning in front for a little shade). Had the chile Colorado burrito, held the cheese, rice and beans). Sauce was so perfect and earthy sweet. Beef had some fatty bits but not an unexpected amount. Beautiful tortillas, hand pressed. Green spicy salsa on the side was an explosion of flavor. So friendly. Got it to go. Can't wait to come back. Menu with prices in photos. Yum.

Chacho's---Michael!!!

Of all my thirty-three years of coming here it was only last week that I had the tostada. I'm obsessed now! I had always only got the bean and cheese burrito and of course love that! One of the best parts of this wonderful place is how they treat customers. I love Chacho's and am so grateful for their beautiful food. I'm so happy we have Chacho's. I've also now tried the chicken taquitos and they are so good. Today I'm getting a tostada and a chicken taco

Fish Tacos.

The first evening we arrived in the Five Cities area I had to try and find Chacho's. I was so crestfallen when for some reason I couldn't locate it. Probably because it was too dark and I was just trying to find it from memory. Fortunately, my sister took us by the next day. I was so happy! It is a touchstone for people who love Mexican Food. The beans, the rice, the enchiladas, the tacos, everything. The handmade flour tortillas are next level, seriously next level. I've been there when people would come in and order two dozen at a time. They are like no others. Made to order. When I ordered two with my lunch, the very nice women asked me if I wanted butter with them. I replied "they don't need butter" and she just smiled. They really don't. It's just a tiny place with a couple of tables inside and three outside. Definitely worth going out of your way for, if you like really good Mexican food:)

Taquitos

Stopped in at this place on my lunch break . Great service, friendly staff and great food . Prices are good! I got the taquito plate and it was flavorful. Nicely plated as well. No complaints I do want to mention the cashier was so nice and welcoming . He made sure I had everything . It was nice to have a friendly greeting

Food was delicious, worker was really nice, small hole in the wall restaurant with a few tables. The food was super good tortillas were very fresh my only gripe would be for both my tacos the tortilla broke when I grabbed it. Super good tortillas just not very strong

Burrito

This is the real deal right here. There is nothing better than aunthentic Mexican food. I knew when I walked in there and saw those Senoras working there and cooking, I WAS IN FOR A TREAT. QUALITY and TASTE, that is what they are serving up here. Sure California is known for our superior Mexican Cusine however when you eat here, I feel like I'm back in MEXICO. THATS how the quality and taste is, phonemenal. I ordered a chile relleno burrito. The tortilla itself is a 10/10. AMAZING, fluffy, fresh Flour Tortilla and it was cooked to perfection. The chile relleno stuffed inside was also amazing. In my opinion, the burrito was a bit small but considering the price I'm not complaining at all, just noting on here. If you love Mexican food, do your life a favor and try this place out. Worth the drive and the stop if you ask me. You won't regret coming on by, I'll tell you that much. Gracias Chachos por la comida auténtica! Till text time.

Chachos Mexican food

We had the Monday special, two tacos, beef or chicken. And rice and beans no substitutes. Our total was $ 8.95 each dinner.

Menu January 2026

Chachos is a tiny hole in the wall, mostly takeout, but there are a few tables to sit at. I know several people that say this is their favorite Mexican food but I have lived in Oceano for 11 years and this is only the second time that I've been here and it was pretty mediocre. I only got the Carnitas burrito and was pretty surprised by how small it was. I guess the price is a little less than other places, about $11.50, but when I think of Mexican food, I think of cheap rice and beans so I expect a little bit more size. There's really not a lot to say. The tortilla was good, I think it's homemade, but a homemade flour tortilla isn't as special as homemade corn. I wasn't intending on writing a review, but I was a little surprised that I could not find a picture of the menu and wanted to upload something more recent than 3 years ago. Hope this helps.

Nachos Supreme
Kaitlin D.

Lovely local spot with friendly staff/family and great prices and food portions. We got the Chaco supreme burrito, daily specials, and a couple dinner plates. Food was made fresh to order and they were so free with the delicious salsa. We also last minute got an order of nachos - amazing! Don't live in the area but would be happy to return again on my next trip up the coast!

I looked up La Parilla, there are several locations in SLO…read morecounty, and I just picked one in AG since i'm closest to that one right now, and it's the same logo as what is on the catering truck with the same name So i'm guessing, it's the same owner/operator as the catering. I waited 45 minutes and paid $6 dollars for this piece of crap (will attach a pic) i got the vegetarian taco, which you would think they could at least add some cheese to it for flavor but nope. Also, for a place called "The gril", you would think that the vegetables WOULD actually be grilled, but no, they were not. The rice was dry, and the beans had no flavor. I literally could not eat it and left half of it there. My server felt so bad she insisted on not taking a tip. So because of this crappy company, my server did not get a tip. I would have insisted, but I didn't have cash, and she would not allow me to add a tip to my card charge because she knew I waited 45 minutes for a fu*king vegetable taco ‍ Honestly, I think they screwed up and forgot, because there's no way it should have taken that long, and she knew that....she kind of flinched and grimaced, and she said "I'm sorry, I think they got backed up" and kind of rolled her eyes as if to say, I think they fu*ked up, she even said quietly to me "I think maybe they forgot". This was for the live music event on Friday, 6/19 at Claiborne & Churchill. The music was great, The servers/ wine stewards were amazing, but the food was horrible. At least my taco was. if I ever see La Parilla serving food again anywhere I am, I will not order anything! BLECH. Oh, also I asked for no onions, and they couldn't even get that right. In one of my pictures, you will see onions that I pulled aside on the plate. I could have pulled aside more, but I was wolfing down what I could after waiting 45 miinutes for a frigging shit*y vegetarian taco that was crap when I got finally got it. NOT worth the wait. No cheese, no sour cream, no guacamole....just dry rice, flavorless beans, and a few pieces of bell pepper, plus onions - which I asked to NOT HAVE. What a pathetic, underflavored, overpriced taco. Ironically, I drove by Hannah's tacos food truck earlier, and I should have just bought some tacos from them. They are, I think $3 per taco, and 10 times better than this crap was

I had high hopes for this spot, unfortunately it quickly turned into an utter disappointment from…read morebad to worse. While exploring the nearby businesses of the hotel we were staying at, we decided to stop for an early dinner. The place looked quiet, and even though there were very few patrons, we had a short wait before being seated. (This was the first red flag) The restaurant is structured nicely with an open facing entryway to the street, allowing the sun and breeze to flow. The problem, is that it was difficult to admire the interior of the restaurant without ignoring the noticeable spiderwebs and cobwebs in the ceiling and rafters. If I can see them, then I know they can see them. They do however, have very nice indoor and outdoor patio seating, with several tv's throughout. We were served complimentary chips and salsa shortly after we were seated. The chips were light and crispy. The salsa? Awful. Very thin and runny, with absolutely no flavor. We had to have waited a good ten minutes or so before our drink order was taken. Upon taking our drink order, I also placed an order for chips & guacamole. Our waitress was friendly, but curt. After tasting the salsa I chose to play it safe and went with the chile verde enchiladas, and my wife went with the combo plate with a chicken taco and enchilada. By the time we placed our second drink order it was blatantly obvious that our waitress had completely forgotten about our order of chips and guacamole, which was confirmed when our meal arrived. I will say that the margaritas were outstanding, maybe one of the best I've had. To my surprise, the chile verde enchiladas were actually really good. Nice texture, good flavor. The rice was bland and flavorless, and I'm convinced that the black beans were straight from a can. Lacking both flavor and/or seasoning (They weren't even hot) and equally plain. My wife's meal wasn't any better. The chicken was super dry served on a sad and raw tortilla. The beans...disgusting slop. If I had any doubts about whether MY beans were canned, I had absolutely no doubt about hers. These beans were so undoubtedly canned I'm surprised they didn't still have the impression of the tin can on them. No seasoning, no flavor, and lukewarm at best. Enough is enough. I couldn't wait to pay my tab and make a swift exit.

Despite the name, it's essentially tender beef rather than a buttery preparation. The meat was fresh, very tender, and had a rich, beefy flavor. They were generous with the portion as well. I got the three-taco special for $12 and ate outside in their small outdoor seating area. Service was good, and the ordering process was straightforward--you order and pick up at the counter. Overall, the quality and portion sizes stood out, especially the amount of meat in the tacos.

Highly recommended were the butter beef tacos & the fish tacos, which respectively are right up my husband & my preferences. I got a bottle of Tejava- peach was offered as cold & regular was warm, I opted for peach & although it came from the fridge, it was warm. No biggie. Food comes out & visually the fish tacos look like some tex mix version- beans & corn with chunks of grilled fish on top. Husband said they were okay, but the fish kept falling out of the tacos because of all the other fillings & he didn't like their tortillas. The butter beef was..not great. Really greasy, to the point I didn't quite finish the second out of three tacos. Tried to soak up some of it with a napkins to no avail. & agree with hubby, tortillas not great. The best of the night was the potatoe tacos- crispy shells with smooth potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes & cheese. Guacamole on the side was good. Don't think we'll be back.
