Been going here for years. Unfortunately, food has changed. I always order a carne asada california burrito with the fries well done. The last 4 times I have been there the fries are soggy not well done. The burrito is not put together very well....Read More

Very very very good tacos! Had two asada and one pastor. They were very good size and the flavor was on point. No grisly pieces of carne and just the right amount of heat. Ingredients were fresh and I really liked the way they cut...Read More

Ordered take out for a large party. Was very affordable, packaged wonderfully, and food was delicious! Tacos, beans, and rice. They placed the onion/cilantro fixings in the side for people to garnish accordingly.

Great customer service. Not even 2 minutes after receiving my food I had the host asking if everything was OK? Then 5 minutes once again even though it was taco Tuesday she didn't forget about me inside the restaurant. I recommend it. You won't be...Read More

This is the best burrito spot in Atascadero! Their carne asada supreme. Burrito is my favorite. I do agree it's not the best for tacos, but everything else has been amazing. Try the chicken taquitos and the chilaquiles (add Chile Colorado if you like spice). They...Read More

Best Carne Asada around. A lot of flavor and our favorite in A town. Used to go to the other little Mexican food place, but it's gone down hill in my opinion. Taco Stand is by far so much better.

We wanted food from a place that had workers with masks on when we went through the drive thru. Really fast and super delicious, a burrito will cover dinner AND breakfast. And they hooked us up with salsa! Would come again!

The food was delicious and I ate there but the only thing that I would say is that you're giving a plastic fork instead of a regular fork which I thought it was it was unusual
