The enchilada was tender, flavorful and delicious. The refried beans & rice were also so very tasty & freshly cooked. Before my meal arrived I enjoyed a draft IPA and some complimentary chips. The green sauce salsa was delicious - setting me up in a good way for my lunch to follow. I mentioned to the wait staff that today was my Anniversary and she gifted my wife & I with a generous portion of their homemade Flan to go... my wife is going to be very happy! I will be back and will also recommend my family friends. (I would have posted a photo of the combination plate but it was gone the time I pulled my phone out to start my review).

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.

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.

If you're going to charge $15+ per burrito just do it right! If you can't afford to cut out the gristle and fat then charge $20! There is no acceptable reason for serving this disappointment.
