Tacos El Tizon - Carne asada tacos with rice and beans - Tacos Near Me - Lompoc, California

This place ALWAYS gets my takeout orders correct. I ask for no cheese on top of my wet burrito; it comes with no cheese on top. I ask for four cups of tomatillo salsa on the side; it comes with four cups of tomatillo salsa. I ask for cilantro and cebolla on the side; lo and behold, I get a bag of cilantro and cebolla on the side. Get the picture? You'd be surprised by how many restaurants mess up your food or order, but not this place. The asada wet burrito hits the spot. I also love their rice and beans. What more could I ask for? read more

I'm in Lompoc for 2 weeks for work and I stop by at this place for a burrito and it was very tasty. Great customer service and the cook went as far as to make my burrito very spicy like the way I like to eat my food. I highly recommend this place. The cashier lady is extremely friendly. Shout out to the cashier lady and the cook for making my burrito very spicy. Will only eat at this restaurant when ever I come back to Lompoc. read more

The food is great and the ppl working there are super nice. I have been a customer since I moved and I have never been dissapointed.

Some of the best authentic Mexican food. Not many restaurants carry shrimp flautas but these are my favorite. Always stop by when I'm in town. Can't go wrong. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We were staying in town and this restaurant came highly recommended by a local friend. We were so excited to try it especially after a long day of driving and we ordered online. It said our order would be ready at 8:01pm. The restaurant closes at 9pm. My husband went to pick up the food at 8pm and the doors were locked and they were mopping. He was trying to explain what was happening and all they said was that they were closed. We checked our account and the money had been taken out! They would not even come to the door so that my husband could explain. Not quite sure why they accepted the order of they closed early. So we were out the money and had no food and had to go to another restaurant. Shady! read more

I ordered online today 5/3/2021. I was charged $14.05 to my Debit card. i even tipped 20% only to arrive to pick up my order to find the restaurant was CLOSED! Now my husband has no dinner and I don't have enough money left in my account to buy him food tonight. The phone number to call for assistance goes to the CLOSED RESURANT! I am disputing this claim and they just permanently lost 2 weekly customers. read more

These tacos are very tasty. I ordered the Asada, trips, Buche, and Al pastor. The Al Pastor are to plain and no flavor. But the others are good. The price is on the higher side , but they do add a sufficient amount of meat. I would return. read more

Their Taco Tuesday deal was a good deal but the meat was a bit dry. Not too many salsa options either. Their horchata tasted a bit watered down. read more

Whenever I go they got my order wrong it feels like almost every time! Good food just can't get my order right must be some bad luck or just bad communication but whatever it is, it's happened more than a few times to me read more

This used to be the best tacos I've ever had. When I first tried it way back in 2014, the tacos were the best and less expensive. 5 years later, the first restaurant I told my husband I'd like to eat was this. Today, we came here and I ate 3 tacos, they're still great compare to all the tacos I've tried but it's just not as palatable as it was before. I'd still come back here before we leave, well it's because Portland doesn't have really good Mexican food. read more

I am Texan traveling California. And since I got here I have not been able to find great tacos. But this little gem offers you 16 different types of Tacos cooked perfectly. If your traveling North towards San Francisco. Stop here for a little taste of authentic heaven. read more

It hurts my heart to type this review, but I have been coming here for years and never had an issue, their food is great. But I have to say this last time I went it was very very disappointing. The gentleman that took my order was mumbling the whole time which resulted in getting my entire order wrong. I didn't mind going back since they never really make mistakes but when I called to let them know the owners wife got very defensive and refused to accept the mistake her employee made and did not want to fix my order. I'm unsure if there is a new system in place for this business or the new employees are causing too many mistakes, but they have lost a life long customer. I will also advise friends, families and colleagues to avoid this establishment as the situation was not handled well. read more

Slow service when understaffed during lunch rush. Took an hour to get our menudo, and pazolé and they lacked flavor. I love their alambre tacos. I won't come here for their sopas again but I will come back when I'm craving alambre tacos! Great place for tacos. Everything else not so great. read more

Very small place. Staff was very nice and helpful. Authentic food, though the salsas are very spicy. The best al pastor tacos I've ever had! Ever!!! read more

Best food in town, great service , clean. Try the California burrito you wount regret it every food item has a ton of food

The food is great and I love it here. Food comes with beans and chips. And the salsas are spicy and delicious! Especially the green one, love it! The fried quesadillas with chicken and pastor tacos are my go-to. The tortas are also very tasty and the bread is always soft and warm. The chicken enchiladas are good too and they taste the most similar to homemade enchiladas that I've had anywhere else. The only downside is that they have gradually been raising the prices for everything. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! By far the worst place I have went to here in lompoc, do not go here. Spent $40 on just two burrito, mad at myself for not walking away. Will never go or refer this place to anyone! The wet burrito I got tastes like they just put tomato sauce on top of my burrito. I asked for pastor and I was told they did not have anymore for the day and then the next person in line ordered pastor and they cooked it for them. If you are looking for somewhere in lompoc to eat Mexican food, go anywhere but here. read more

Here for Taco Tuesday, Al Pastor tacos for a dollar. Asada and other typical tacos are $1.75 but the size of the tacos are big so it is worth it. Excellent salsa bar, get the green spicy one. Bean and chips idea is awesome. Small serving of chips though if you brought a family, ask for 2 of the chip bowls. Other than that I will be happily sitting on the toilet bowl later. read more

Great simple taco spot! Al Pastor tacos are the BEST in town by far. So glad to have found this place.

Muy sabroso! Everything was wonderful. Yes, the salsas were spicy but not way too much. The meat today was perfect. I had shrimp, el pastor, & lengua tacos. My husband had carnitas. I will put this on my list of places to try again & again. Many choices on the menu yet to explore. read more

This is a taco place, and a very good one at that. They have a few other things, but their best thing is tacos and their sopes. What we still can't figure out is why anyone would go to Taco Bell when they can come here? The food is fresh. The salsa bar is decent. You get free bean dip with a few little chips. It doesn't always come before the food there. I always add some spicy salsa for extra flavor. I only go here for basics, and a little al pastor, so I have no complaints, I just basically prefer other places more. It might be worth trying some of their other things like the 7 Mares. Service is decent. It does not measure up to places like Los Agaves, but you have to rate each restaurant for what it is. I wish there were more stars for the really top places. Also, I enjoy the bright paint colors. It totally reminds me of Mexico. And it's typically quite clean. read more

I love their salsa bar! the green one is my favorite and is the spiciest also. After you order and choose your seat they take you nice warm beans and chips to dip which is great. I recommend the tacos, carnitas sopes, enchiladas, burro mojado, and tortas. They usually don't take too long to give you your food. read more

Doesn't even deserve 1 star!!!! Waited 20 minutes for our order then get halfway home and it's the wrong food only part of our order was right, did nothing to make it right and not organized in there once so ever had a hard time even taking our order and way overpriced get halfway home again with new order and they forgot all the salsas we asked for... not to mention when we got home we got meatless taquitos barely any meat once so ever.... read more

Their steak nachos...MMM! very good, and yummy salsa. nice pleasant service and atmosphere. The lime green wall paint is a little strange tho read more

Nice little place next to Comcast. Has a great idea of a help yourself buffet style of salsas, cilantro etc. I found their salsas too spicy for my taste. But at least they offered lime wedges, diced onions and cilantro. They give you chips and bean dip once your meal is served and that is delicious! read more

The service is super fast and very friendly! This is my third time coming here for the flautas. They have a fresh salsa bar. Every time I have family in town I bring them here for a quick bite to eat. read more

The tacos al pastor special on Tuesday's are fantastic. 4 for $6. Pineapple and usual toppings are a great combination. Highly recommend.

Best Al Pastor tacos in Lompoc! Didn't say best Mexican food, or burritos, or breakfast, or anything else but can easily say best damn Al Pastor Tacos in town, Lengua is pretty good as well. Enough said. read more

Super-delicious, very friendly... I loved conversing with the staff. Food absolutely fantastic! Well served food and with great service. 100% recommend... hope to come again soon! read more

Rude and food was horrible. Lady taking the order made all my food plain when I never asked for that. Felt other races received better hospitality than I did. Will never come back or recommend read more

This used to be a spot that I would dine at regularly a few years ago. I always used to get a chimichanga. When I moved back to the area, I came here and grabbed food a chimichanga to go with my expectations that it would be the same as always. I was really disappointed, because the meat didn't taste very good (I got chicken), and it was all around just not a good chimichanga, and it used to be! read more

I stopped in to grab some tacos Al Pastor. At $1.99 each, I expected them to be on the smaller side, so I ordered six. I was pleasantly surprised to see handmade tortillas full of meat, along with a slice of pineapple in each one. You add your own sides and salsa. The Meat was juicy and flavorful. Customer service was solid as well. I'll definitely return the next time I pass through Lompoc. read more

I love this place and make a point of stopping here when in town. It's not fancy, but a good value for the price. Unlike many Mexican places, they serve a wide-variety of meats that your average Americanized chain restaurant doesn't serve. Last time I visited, they had Cabeza (Beef cheek meat), Lengua (Tongue), Tripa (Tripe), and even Sesos (Brains). You have to really search in order to find some of these meats at a Mexican joint. Of course, they also have the standard staples like Carne Asada, Chicken, Burritos, and others Americans are used to eating. These items are as good, if not better than the chain restaurants. The Salsa bar has good selection. However, the unique menu items are what draws me to this place. Hopefully these guys stay in business and continue to sell both the normal staples as well as the less-common cuts of meat to customers. read more

Staying overnight in Lompoc and searching for a place to eat. I saw Tacos El Tizon. I am so glad that I tried this place. There were a lot of options. My kid got the breakfast burrito which comes with your choice of meat, eggs, cheese, and potatoes. I didn't think I would like it, but it was delicious. It also comes with a side of chips. I got a shrimp plate and it was cooked to perfection. I am usually not a fan of refried beans, but these were delicious. The flavors were on point. The portions were generous. At other Mexican restaurants, I never get as much shrimp as I did there. We got it to go, but the place has some indoor seating. I bet that there are nights when it gets too crowded to eat there. Even though the state hasn't opened up all of the Covid restrictions, the 25% capacity was already taken. As I was sitting waiting for my order, many regulars came in with their orders. You could tell they were regulars because they didn't even look at the menu, they just came in and ordered and knew straight away what they wanted. I have been craving Mexican ever since I ate there. If I am ever in Lompoc again, I would definitely eat there. Recommended! read more

I went to Tacos El Tizon only when the other higher rated spots either weren't open (Floriano's) closed on Mondays after 2pm, and Angela's didn't look too inviting... no one in restaurant during dinner time. I found the tacos to be satisfying, carne asana were better than the pastor. Rice and beans were better than average. Ladies working were helpful. Would go back again. read more

Save yourself the money and drive this is not a 4 Star place. Worst tacos I've ever tasted. Tacos pastor burnt and dry hardly any flavor. Lenguas definitely not fresh or seasoned. Tortillas old. Salsas in the sun and from the looks of them been there all day. read more

You've got to try "The Alambre" it's a ooey-gooey heavenly mixture of carne asada, crispy bacon, pasilla chiles, and melted cheese. Hands down the best I've ever had. I tried it in tacos and today in a torta. Both were soooo good. read more
