Have you ever wondered where are the best places to eat savory tacos in the Five Cities? Well, here are the perfect places!
Taqueria El Guero
Taquiera El Guero located at 1490 E Grand Ave, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420.
They are open Monday- Thursday from 11 am- 8 pm and Friday- Sunday from 11 am- 9 pm. Their parking space is very tight near a gas station. They don’t have a dine-in or seating, they just do take-outs. Their meats are full of flavorful spices but the tortillas are a bit flimsy and get torn easily if left out for a bit in the car or wherever else. They provide limited options and sell 8 items in total but customers get to choose from their variety of meats. Vegetarian options are available and they will replace the meat with avocado if needed.
“Although it was nowhere near the best it was nowhere near the worst,” Sergio Miranda said.
“It didn’t seem like authentic Mexican food which was a downside growing up Latino/a. If the prices were a bit more reasonable it would deserve a second trip,” Miranda said.
Effren’s Mexican restaurant
Effren’s is located at 1720 Beach St, Oceano, CA 93445. They are open 8 am-8:30 pm, Monday- Sunday.
Their parking spaces are offered on the side streets or behind the restaurant and have a decent-sized dining area. They have a variety of foods. Tuesdays they have Taco Tuesday for $2.50 tacos. Their meats are so savory with multiple seasonings, employees are always nice but the downside is that their prices are high depending on what you order.
Chachos Mexican takeout
Chachos is located at 911 Cienaga St, Oceano, CA 93445. They are open Monday- Saturday from 11 am- 6 pm.
They have ample parking on the dirt and they have a small dine-in space but the restaurant is mostly for takeouts. They have a variety of options with savory flavors that have so many different spices, and their sauces have a kick to them. They make homemade tortillas and usually a decent proportion. Drinks aren’t that expensive depending on what you order, small building, family-owned, small dining room with outdoor seating available to enjoy the ocean breeze while you eat.
Coronas Mexican Restaurant
It is located at 1263 E Grand Ave, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420.
They have a decent sized parking lot, and they have seating and tables outside. It’s decorative outside and has a nice view of the cars driving around. They have a variety of drinks. The dine-in is very spacious and has many themed decorations.
“The downside would be that it’s more Americanized, but when you order anything it comes with chips and salsa,” Miranda said.
All these Mexican restaurants are great! You have four options to try and taste what these incredible restaurants have to offer.
