    Stopped in for a quick bite to get us thru the afternoon. We ordered a burrito w adobada. It was pretty good better than we hoped. The salsas were yummy especially the red ine w an oil base, something about it I couldn't stop yumming! Basic but favorite options available. Really nice guy at the counter. Nice Mexican decor w seating inside and out.

    Diarrhea Central from just a bean and cheese and rice burrito. Quality the burrito is pretty bad and the red chili sauce at the bar tasted like red pepper flakes mixed with uncooked crushed tomatoes.

    This is what's left of the taquitos.

    My friend ordered the fish tacos. She said she rated them a 1 out of 5. I had the 3 chicken taquitos. I would rate them 4 out of 5. My wife ordered the menudo. She rated it a 3 out of 5. Altogether a 4 out of 5. Service was adequate. We were asked how the food was. Good. The place is small but cozy. Music, TV, and people enjoying their meals. I asked for the servers name, she said Chichos. Come visit when you are in for Mexican food.

    Carne Asada Fries
    Ariyana J.

    Came here while on a short visit to SLO. Was craving carne asada fries. My boyfriend had the nachos. The presentation of the fries and nachos were amazing. Very beautiful to look at. My boyfriend liked that the sour cream was drizzled on compared to being served as a big goop. I found a few pieces of fat when eating my fries, so this was a let down. The beans were bland, no flavor at all. The jalapeños had a strange taste that I cannot explain. Both the nachos and fries were filling though, and my boyfriend and I couldn't finish everything. That was a plus. Overall, I wish the food we ordered had more flavor.

    Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. Small restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere prices were a little bit on the high side. I decided to just try a sopes to see if the place served good food. Printed menu says price of $7. The menu on the wall same item listed as $8. Says choice of meat. Didn't say an up charge for carne asada. I later noticed my receipt that I was charge 1.50 for selecting carne asada. There was also a charge of .50 cents for tortilla chips and salsa. I was really disappointed in the salsas available. The mild tasted liked cold stewed chunk tomatoes with notes of cinnamon and oregano. The hot was not hot and had a bad taste that I cannot describe. Chips were plain and unremarkable. After a few bites didn't finish my small bowl of chips nor the salsa. For the price the sopes was too expensive. The meat was out of the fridge and warmed up. It was dried out and some pieces were still cold! There was a tiny amount of avocado. It was served on a tiny baking sheet and felt uncomfortable cutting on this aluminum surface as it is not designed for this purpose and I didn't want any aluminum or coating in my food. You could see cut scratches from previous uses. Overall, I wish I didn't come here. Up charges for food and quality lacking. The worst salsa I have had at a salsa bar.

    Amazing tortilla soup
    Alexis N.

    My aunt found this place and recommended it to me. I went on a Saturday afternoon and was so delighted by how tasty the tortilla soup was (and such a good price). I will absolutely be back and have already started telling my friends about this place. The ambiance is cute, you order at the counter and the food comes quick. You do have to pay for chips and salsa as an extra. Fresh and delicious food!

    Chile relleno

    Formerly known as Taco Roco, used to be a place we visited occasionally, but it seemed to be going downhill In Quality and inspiration. Now it's reborn, with an improved salsa bar, and great food options. Husband loves their soft shredded chicken tacos, and I am A big fan of their Chile rellenos! I would lick the plate if I wasn't in public! And the chips are warm and crunchy, always tasty! Staff are welcoming and friendly, and very helpful. Place is clean, well lit, good background music. Took a few photos which I will include. We will visit as often as possible!

    Crispy beef tacos.  Yummy!
    Poul N.

    Best tacos in San Luis Obispo! We love their green sauce because it's dairy free and delicious!- Super friendly with a great atmosphere! Sorry about the picture with only half a taco. They were so good. I couldn't stop eating them before I took the picture.

    Ordered the fish and chicken tacos, boy oh boy they were good. Fish was nice, fresh and crispy! Smackin' :) it was a Good Tuesday.

    Chicken enchiladas
    Nina J.

    This place was delish! Friendly staff. They have a salsa bar with lots of good salsa. I got the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and loved it. And my dad got carnitas plate and said it was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend!

    Best Shrimp cocktail!

The slaw bowls are reasonably priced and satisfying, the menu has a nice variety, and who I think is the owner is very friendly and welcoming and enthusiastic - like a guy that seems like would be fun to hang out with and talk about anything. It's upstairs and probably easy for some to miss as it's the only thing upstairs, but they post signs outside and inside near the stairs, and they've been here awhile, so it must be doing well. As you can see, the slaw bowl comes with a good amount of protein, a few chips, and a variety of ingredients to go on top of the slaw. I've had chicken in the past, which is also good. Just one piece of chewy meat this time, which happens. Flavor is very good and satisfying and the slaw keeps things feeling pretty light and healthy. I've had burritos in the past too, and those are more filling. There's ample seating area as well, with a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Self-serve drink taps for soda and to get water. Always enjoy coming here and I'm sure we'll eat here many more times in the future. I just need to venture out a bit and try more menu items.

    My wife and I really enjoyed the food we had here. We tried the grilled Oaxacan Shrimp Tacos that…read morewere delicious. We also got a wet Seared Beef Burrito that was everything we wanted. With those items we tried their mild, hot, and avocado salsa's that did a nice job of adding to the flavors of our entrees. We also tried the chips and guacamole that we really liked, and you get a lot of guacamole for the price. The young man who took our order gave us a great explanation of how they prepare the salsa's and took us through the preparation of the meats and seafood items. This place is in the second floor of the SLO Public Market with lots of seating both indoor and outdoor. We are definitely glad we tried this place.

    Honestly, Efren's doesn't look too promising. My first impression was that it would be just another…read more'fast casual' burrito place. I could not have been more wrong. The first clue was that there is more on the menu than just tacos and burritos, and our attention was drawn to Siete Mares (seafood soup) and caldo de res (beef soup). Both were outstanding, aside from having to deal with the crab legs (real crab, not that fake krab stuff), and the bones in the beef soup. The stock in the caldo de res was rich and beefy, and tasted as if it had been simmering for hours on a back burner. It had a fullness of flavor that made you think of some abuelita's kitchen table. The service was also very efficient and friendly, which is always a plus. Go for the soup.
