    Half of my burrito, cut up and heated for dinner.  See all the chunks of pork - chili verde burrito
    T P.

    I came here on a Tuesday morning and ordered the chili Verde burrito and small drink combo that they had advertised for $12. Located in the same parking lot as Trader Joe's and Food 4 Less, with plenty of parking. The gentleman who took my order was extremely friendly and patient. From the time I placed the order to receiving the burrito, it was under 10 minutes. The burrito is loaded with chunks of tender pork, beans, rice, cheese, onions, and cilantro. There is a little kick to it, but the salsa provided, gives it a more well-balanced flavor. Great flavors to the burrito, friendly, customer service and an overall, great value, I would certainly return and recommend. Check out the photos of the delicious burrito!

    This place was a lunch stop for us. It doesn't look so appealing however, they are a delicious Mexican food establishment. You order at the counter and then get a number and await your food. We ordered a carne quesadilla and a vegetarian casadilla with 2 beers. The food was ready within 5 minutes. Both the quesadillas were large and full with ingredients in them. The vegetarian one was full of onions, peppers, zucchini and cheese with salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side. The carne had plenty of meat, cheese, rice, beans and my friend added avocado. It was fresh, hot and delicious! I would surely eat here again if I were in town

    Chimichanga style Carnitas Burrito
    Str82ThePoint ..

    I want to set the record straight here. Their carnitas meat is so flavorful and delicious with such a perfect amount of kick . Service, what other people see as rude I see as a busy worker getting her job done. Not everybody gotta be so smiley and chummy in restaurants. It's hot, they're busy and doing their best. You know they're busy when they can't answer the phone, and I'm here for it. Great to see our local spots doing well. Place is clean with lots of seating inside and out and I like the fierce ones' vibe, she seems cool . Thank you for your food and service Taco Rico

    Was late , just rolled into town and this place was very close to the Marriott Courtyard. The food was very fresh and the service was very good. It is a casual restaurant that has a large selection We had the cheese enchiladas and the chicken tacos The establishment was generally clean and plenty of parking. Food service was fast and the food warm and fresh. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that a little light on the portions for the price. The enchiladas were small in size and although the chicken tacos had good portion of meat , little cheese and lot of lettuce. But overall , this is a good stop for some quick Mexican food and we did really appreciate the service

    2 meat plate
    Ted F.

    My wife really enjoys the fajita plate here for lunch or dinner on our runs to SLO. I usually grab a burger next door, today I ordered the 2 meat plate & it was as expected, carnitas was not overly salty & service was good. The portions were not small, but not too much food either

    Two taco combo with carnitas tacos. So good!!

    Breakfast burritos are elite! Chorizo burrito is the go-to! They do well with takeout orders. Food is always ready and still hot

It…read moremight seem a little unexpected to find top-tier tacos at a bar, but as self-proclaimed taco aficionados, we can confidently say these are the best tacos in San Luis Obispo. We've tried the pastor, lemon pepper chicken, carne asada, pescado, and crispy pescado--and every single one has been spot on. They actually remind me of the authentic tacos I've had in Mexico City. I've seen a few reviews mentioning rude staff, but in the eight times we've been there, everyone has been nothing but friendly and chill. Bonus points for the pool table and the live music--we love the fun, relaxed vibe. If you're serious about your tacos, give The Mark a try. You might just become a regular too.

Bouncers working on April 10, 2026 were extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of simply doing their job, they made unnecessary and disrespectful comments. As a business owner myself, I understand the importance of upholding rules. However, there is a clear difference between maintaining standards and failing to show basic respect to guests and this interaction reflected the latter. That kind of unprofessional behavior reflects poorly on the entire establishment. Management should take a closer look at who they have representing them at the door.
