El Taconazo — Restaurant in Atascadero

Having driven by this place countless times on 41 we finally stopped in to try it out. Nice old school ambiance with the tiles and booths. It is a bit cozy, but not too bad. They were nice and kid friendly for our 3 year old. Menu is easy to read, not too many options like some other places. Service was good, they seated up and got us water right away. I ordered a medium burrito because I was fairly hungry, and it was pretty big. It was well seasoned, great flavor and not overly salty. Carnitas was juicy with a few crispy bits. The medium burrito should be more than large enough for most people, as it was the same size as a large burrito at other places. Good food, good service, easy to find location. We're looking forward to coming back to try...

This building has gone through so many owners and name changes over the years none of my friends know it by name; just the locale.

The last time we were there was around a month ago. This place hasn't changed in years; same pictures, same booths with duct tape covering the rips, same mediocre food. Neither of our meals were hot and we didn't eat much of it for fear of food poisoning. We would have sent it back except no one came back to our table for so long we were anxious to leave when the waitress finally checked in.

With so many Mexican food joints in this town, I don't know why anyone would open another if they can't be a standout.

Maybe we'll try it again after the next...

Great food...most of the time. We've ordered from here several times and thought we had finally found reliable, quality mexican food in A town. And that was true until we tried their burger and beef tacos. Best description I can offer is mystery meat. One of the few times we've requested a refund. This was not always the case. First time we ordered from here we had delicious ground beef burrito and tacos. But for the time being, we're just sticking to the veggie (bean and cheese) and chicken Chimichanga and chicken tacos, which are always delicious!! On a side note, the last few months they stopped including chips and salsa and their salsa...
