Food and Service ++…read more I'm a fan of a good beans, rice, and cheese burrito. Oh & with sour cream of course. Sounds easy enough right? Not even close. I'm very particular about my beans and rice. I believe if you can make the staple foods taste so good with just the right flavoring then you probably make good food all the way around. Well I've been here a few times over the span of many years and they have consistently been good. I love the softness of a tortilla too, not firm or with any crunch to it. These are just what I like. I recently tried the Chile Relleno burrito because it's an alternative favorite and it was delicious. Some places have too much batter or they add a sauce with it. In a burrito, not a fan of the sauce. Taco de Mexico did not and I loved that. The cook who I'm pretty sure is the owner is always nice and gets things done quickly. He doesn't engage too much but is always very courteous. Another plus for me is that they open early. Upon moving up here I always found it interesting that the Mexican food restaurants don't open til 9 and later. I was used to the restaurants being open before sunrise. I know people can be fooled by appearance but story goes you will find some of the best food at the places you'd least expect it. While it's small there are at least 3 tables that can fit a party of 4 easily so you can sit down inside and enjoy. The parking lot though small, very small, is never packed. There is an empty lot next to it so I believe it houses some eye sores but they have nothing to do with the quality of the food or the experience. Don't let that deter you. I also like to add updates photos of the menu because that's one of the first pictures I look for. Things can change week to week. In my opinion and experience I recommend this place.

The meat was very tender and the chili sauce that was in it was not spicy but had a good flavor. The beans and rice gave it a great touch cause they both had a really good flavor as well. It came with either corn or flour tortillas which I ordered the corn tortillas which were very soft and tasted homemade. I will definitely eat there again when I'm in town. But you will have to go there and eat to form your own opinion.

Disappointed at how their hot food has declined in value over the years. Came in today for tacos de…read moretripa, asada, and barbacoa. All tacos were surprisingly bland? Why? Wondering if they've stopped seasoning their meat in order to cater to the demographic here in Atascadero.... Especially the carne asada I mean apart from having so much fatty meat, it had no flavor. The service is always great too, just a little disappointing. When I'm talking about flavor, especially for $4 a taco, I expect a hint of garlic, salt, pepper, lime, etc. I expect the meat to be marinated and flavorful. Maybe they already do that, given they do sell amazing carne preparada, but the hot food just hasn't been the same for the last 3-4 times I've gone. I like supporting local mexican businesses so I continue to go but today might've been my last. I don't think I'll be driving from Slo to Suprema Meat Market for their hot food again. The cold and prepared meats are of high quality though so this review is strictly for the hot food. I understand that they need to stay competitive with the market, but the total for 5 bite sized tacos was $22.... That's insane. For $4 a taco, I just expect more. I hope they review this and implement some change! I see that the owner reached out and I appreciate his response. Maybe I'll give it a try again.

Well ... the little kid in me has to touch. Was only between warm and hot. More patrons were arriving and I took a bite of the Enchilada at the end. Okay hot though from past experiences it usually is not hot in the middle. And I was right, between warm and hot but not hot enough.

Located on Sprint St, close to 24th Street, is Drive-through Little Caesars. Huge plus having a pizza drive through! I received awesome customer service at the window. I ordered the Detroit Style Cheese Pizza and a Crazy Combo (Crazy Bread and Crazy Sauce). The Detroit Style delivers maximum sponge and fluffiness, with an ultra caramelized/crunchy side and slight caramelized/crunchy bottom. The problem is, the top of the dough, was dough. That's the problem with fast food thick pizza, never cooked all the way through. After gagging, the super tangy, slightly sweet sauce and low grade mutz, completely masked it for a second, then it would be back. The Crazy Combo was good, but I swear that these fluffy, dough, garlic and butter, sticks, were not as fake tasting. $20 for this, guess you get what you pay for. *2/5 because the drive-through, customer service and Crazy Combo, raised it up, instead of 1/5*

We asked questions like, "do you have any pretzel crust ready for takeout" or "did you get pepperoni on that"? The way he responded kept escalating in tone/volume as we ordered. When he repeated our orders to the people in the back it wasn't right but when I brought that up he just got angry. It's been a long, long time since someone has talked to me like that and really never for ordering! Just be prepared, it might take a bit of patience here.

Several places were closed for the day already and I saw this little corner place that still had the Open sign on. Burgers? Sure, why not, that should fill me up and it sure did! I ordered the regular Old Fashioned (no cheese), side of fries and a drink. Everyone was very friendly and helpful as I've never been to this place to eat before let alone this part of the state! The burger was perfectly cooked at medium and very juicy and delicious! Fried were good, not great but the burger was the star of the meal anyway. But I will say the fries were good once I dipped them in the dripping juices and sauce from the burger. But it was a very hearty burger and after a long drive, really hit the spot! If I'm ever in this area again or see another Sylvester's I will definitely make it a point to visit and try a different burger. Favorite dish: Old Fashioned with no cheese. Go out and EAT!
