Came by to check out the place on grand opening weekend. Menu is solid and the market is very well stocked. The seating area is nice and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well. The food is reasonably priced which is great. Ordered a pastor torta and it was okay, nothing to write home about. The meat deli looks great though. It is a shame that the opened within a block of two other Los Osos Mexican food staples though. Will definitely be back to try some more food to give a chance to work out the kinks.
Updated: I've given them another few tries and the food is pretty good. I still have to knock it a bit for the torta as it was pretty mediocre. Having had two more meals here though, the other food is very good. I tried a pollo burrito for lunch and it was very fresh tasting, everything seemed like it had just been prepared, even the rice. The green hot sauce included is very nice, a good little kick and good flavors. Despite still not having a breakfast menu available I decided to try and see what they make. I asked and they told me breakfast burritos were bacon, sausage, or chorizo. I initially ordered chorizo, but asked if he can make machaca. He replied yes and so that is what I ordered. Very kind of them to make something that isn't on the menu. It turned out great, the beef was well seasoned, the eggs fluffy, and just an all around good burrito. Thankfully this time they included two hot sauces and the red salsa is killer. Nice and spicy with really good flavors of roasted peppers. Overall pretty happy with this place and I look forward to the continued development of the...
Read moreOh dear ...this is definitely a Mexican restaurant not a deli...and not a good Mexican restaurant...I expected a sandwich! The menu was all in Spanish and the choices were completely limited... No pinto or black beans...navy beans with no flavor...the rice was from a box and was gummy... A chicken taco should have a crunchy outside, not the meat inside! A burrito without cheese was unusual...but one without flavor was unforgiveable... The only flavor in anyone's dish was just plain BAD! And everything was served in environmentally unfriendly styrofoam! Dinner served on the same tray the meat comes on was interesting...and the cook in late gloves my made the food deadly to a member of our party she did not care eat her meal...a taco made of over cooked chopped beef, with no flavor if you overlook the ton of cilantro and onions on top. This place is located next to the he best Mexican restaurant in Los Osos and I am sorry we wasted a night out on horrid food, when we could have walked down the hill 20 steps forgreat food! I rate this...
Read moreStopped by during the grand opening weekend, staff was friendly and helpful all smiles and quite a few customers ordering and in seated area. Brand new fixtures everything clean and well stocked and priced, also have some fresh veggies and spices and takeaway prepared salsas and guac. Menu is pretty straightforward with burritos, tacos, sopas, tortas etc and a few meats to choose from. We ordered the Pastor Torta for $6.99 and it was out in about 5 minutes. Flavor of the meat and spice was good, along with tomato, beans, jalepeno, and lettuce to fill it out. Of the tortas I've had, it's pretty normal but not special or a great deal. And unfortunately they opened within a block of two other Mexican options, and I can't see this being my first choice except for the atmosphere and seating area which was very nice. If I wanted to watch a game over a beer and some clean Mexican food, this would probably be a great choice, and we will definitely come back and try some of the other food and maybe...
