★★★☆☆ 3.0 Margaret Henneman · Nov 2025

Food was good , service was excellent and authentic hole in the wall Mexican food- but holy moly these two plates $50! It is cheaper to eat at Los Arroyos gormet Mexican food in Montecito. The prices are just a little too much here. Doesn’t make sense for the atmosphere or quality of the food etc.

I had the three Birria Tacos. They were good. The Birria was pretty good, as well. Wife and daughter had the grilled chicken quesadilla, and the chicken wasn't seasoned much, but they enjoyed it. One son had two asada and two carnitas tacos and loved them. Other son had the shredded chicken quesadilla and the chicken was tasty and great. The chips and salsa were great. The service was great.

This a nice hole in the wall type of joint. The food is delicious that you don’t think about the decor. I got my torta to go and ate it back in my motel. The sandwich was big and delicious.

Most taco places have chicken for tacos, buy Taco Grande makes a great Grilled Chicken Crunchy Shelled Taco that is a meal in itself. 2 is good for most. I order 2 for there and 2 more to take home. They are that good!

Authentic, delicious Mexican food. We had a taco, chili relleno and an order of 3 taquitos. Also, chips and salsa come with a combo. Plentiful portions on all items with lots of fresh guacamole. A bit pricey due to its proximity to the beach but worth it. Service was happy and friendly.
