Wow! I visited Taft because my son's team baseball team played here today. I yelped restaurants and…read morewe chose La Salsa. We walked in and three staff said hello and welcomed us immediately. Chips and salsa came immediately with drinks and menus. Service was quick and so efficient. I had the #5 as is and it was so good. My son had the steak quesadilla and could not finish it all.

We visited La Salsa recently and had a mixed experience. The food itself was genuinely…read moregreat--fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The portions were generous, and everything we ordered hit the spot. If you're going purely for the taste, you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, the service side really needs some work. We waited a long time just to be seated, then faced another extended wait for our food to arrive. Even getting the check at the end took far longer than it should have. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed or understaffed, which slowed everything down considerably. Overall, I'd go back for the food because it really is excellent, but they need to improve their pacing and service to match the quality in the kitchen. Three stars for now--great potential if they tighten up the front-of-house operations.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The other one is more like a panda express style. This place is more restaurant atmosphere where you take a seat and they offer adult beverages. I tried the shrimp rice in a pineapple bowl. You can pick your level of heat with this dish. I cant do too much heat so nice and mild for me. Will I come back? Yes! This was my 2nd time going back for this same dish. But I'd rather bring it home than eat it there. With that said you don't get the whole half of the pineapple. If you're in Taft and wanting Asian food and want to be waited on Asian experience is the place to go.

Driving back to Los Angeles from San Luis Obispo, we spotted the Cracked Crab billboard looming…read moreover the highway--and that alone was enough to pull us off the road. Turns out, it led us straight to the perfect little crab shack. We ordered the "Pick Your Three" and upgraded one selection to Dungeness crab, ending up with two snow crab clusters and one Dungeness. The platter also comes with sausage, potatoes, and corn. They serve pure, melted butter warmed over a candle, which is hands-down the best way to let the crab's flavor really shine. The service was excellent, and the fun, kitschy fisherman vibe is exactly what you hope for in a place like this. My only critiques: the andouille sausage was quite dry and lacked flavor, and the corn could have been cooked a bit longer. That said, it's a bummer this gem is so far from my home in Pasadena--but it's absolutely worth pulling off the highway anytime you're in or passing through Pismo Beach.

It's pretty small inside so it won't be great for large groups but the employees are friendly. The guy that gave me my order informed me that this place is originally from Louisiana and this store is the only one in California! I ordered the 4 piece fish combo and chose the fried okra and red beans and rice for my sides. I also added the fried green tomatoes to my order. I'm not a fan of catfish but this was good. The seasoning on their food is SEASONING, okay?!!!! The fried green tomatoes are delicious without any sauce but when you dip it in their homemade tartar sauce and hot sauce it's amazing! I'm not sure what kind of roll it is that comes with their meals but Hot Damn it's bomb! It's like a soft pillow, almost like a beignet but not as airy. I didn't eat my food for about 40 minutes or so and the roll was still so soft! I will definitely hit this place up again and give the fried chicken and fried shrimp a try! If you've been looking for a place with fried fish, look no more! It's called Chick O Fish and it's in Bakersfield via Louisiana!

We chose the Galley because we wanted steamed clams and were delighted by the choice. For a local place it was hopping! On a Wednesday. When we got there at 6pm there was a 30 minute wait. Luckily a spot at the cozy bar opened and we pounced. The bartender took our order shortly after we sat down and we didn't waste any time ordering clams. They came out quickly and were steeped in the most delicious broth, which we slopped up with soft pieces of bread. Will come back for these for sure. We were still a bit peckish so we ordered crab cakes. They were ok but we wouldn't order them again, had they been hotter may have made a difference. Next time maybe we'll get a window seat to be able to enjoy the view as well as the sumptious dinner.

They were nice enough to serve the entree on 2 plates and it was cooked to perfection! Our favorite was the clams! The sauce for it was different from your normal white wine garlic sauce. It was red without being too overpowering with the tomato! The crème brûlée was also not too sweet and amazing! -1 star for the guy that was the hostess. He took my number down and said he would call in about an hour when to come back. I purposely made my phone super loud so i would hear the call when the table was going to be ready. More than an hour passed so we walked back to check our place in line. He tried to say that he called 20 min ago but he said couldn't remember why it didn't go through and couldn't even come up with an excuse lol. I rechecked the number he wrote down which was correct. I had my partner call me and she had no problem. He promised us the next available seat. Another party after us literally went through the same thing as us where he claimed that he called but I'm sure he didn't. We got seated right away after so I'm glad we came back to check! Our server (i forgot her name but she had blonde hair) made up for it since she was super delightful! Aside from that i was looking for her to tell her it was my partners birthday but i only saw him. I asked if he could tell my server for me and he said yeah! They can put a candle on the dessert we order. He asked me what dessert but i didn't know what the options were yet so he said he would just tell my server anyway and we can pick. Lo and behold, no candle lol. That guy sucks

One of the best parts is the location the ocean is right across the street, so you get a beautiful view and a really nice breeze while eating. They also sell fresh fish there, which adds to the whole atmosphere of the place. The ordering process is a littl different from a regular restaurant. You don't order through a waiter, you go up to a small ordering window where the menu is posted, place your order there, then pick any available table and wait for your pager to beep when the food is ready. Overall, it's a very relaxed and enjoyable spot, especially if you like fresh seafood and casual places near the ocean.

They have a nice variety of meats in there and it tasted very fresh. It's on par with Seattle's clam chowder. The restrooms and outdoor patios are clean and there's plenty of open spaces.

The grilled chicken was perfectly tender with a fantastic smoky flavor, and the cheese had a really sophisticated, delicate depth to it that set it apart from your standard enchilada.

To top it off, the service was excellent throughout our visit. Highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling through Taft.
