Taco Samich Tehachapi Reviews
Awesome barrito' and great service. Not once have I ever had an issue bigger than the self service hot sauce and hole pickeled jalapeno's. Once and only once they ran out of jalapeno's and had no more for the day. I think it's still five star quality for what it is which is a taco bar.
Food and portions are excellent for the price. Best Chile Verde I've had in years and the Sopes are excellent as well. Charging for drink refills and more than 1 cup for the salsa bar seems a bit stingy however.
I've enjoyed this restaurant for many years. Food is very yummy, customer service is friendly and helpful.
Excellent El Pastor and Carnitas! Generous serving sizes. Tasty salsa. Tortillas were fresh and grilled. Very friendly, lovely hostess/ owner. We'll be back!
We love eating here when we're passing through Tehachapi. We've been here 3 or 4 times and the tacos (carnitas and al pastor) are always delicious. Service is good too, as it is not busy when we go.
Honestly I’m very picky about Mexican food and this to me is the best Mexican food in Tehachapi. I looked at all the reviews and so many were negative and I completely disagree and don’t understand. The food is delicious the salsa is the best ever the staff are kind and wonderful it’s cozy here I don’t understand how there could be so many negative reviews it can’t be right.
Were Michiganders in Cali and we stopped in by chance as we are traveling and glad we did. The very friendly young gal and young man at the counter helped us decide what to order. Best guacamole ever! delicious mild green sauce on my pork chimichanga which was very large and meaty. My husband loved his pork taco salad full of meat! Thanks Taco Samich for a deliciously authentic yet economical lunch
Food was a big step up from fast food and I'm thankful we gave it a try! Meat, tortillas were really good and it was quiet and very clean.
Best Mexican food in town. Good price and food made pretty quick. I ordered 7 burritos and it was only about 10 minutes and that was with some other people ordering. When I want good Mexican I go here.
Taco Samich is the greatest place to eat on this Earth. I've been eating bean and cheese burritos from this place growing up and I'll always get them when I go back. Highly recommend.
This place has the best burritos, and carne asada tacos hands down. (And salsa Verde!!) Soooo good! My favorite place to get a burrito. I go out of my way, about 28 miles to go there. Delicious. And very friendly.
Awesome burritos. They take me two sittings to finish, so it's a great value! Good for to go or quick in and out, too. No table service.
Authentic Mexican, delicious salsa. Liked the chile Verde the best. Tacos were generous size, only needed two to feel full.
Best tacos in tehachapi! Sweet little place with some kind people and seriously delicious food. Building is always clean, and service is quick.
Breakfast burritos were so good and staff was amazing! Alfonso’s customer service was beyond exceptional and I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I travel through.
Delicious! They made me off menu vegan bean tacos, so good. Quick service. This is a fast casual place where you walk up to the counter to order and they bring the food to you. It wasn't busy, but for the price and taste, it should be.
We never have a bad meal here! I always order the chicken tostada and it’s loaded with chicken. I add my own sour cream and cheese, bc it doesn’t come with it, but you can ask to have it added. They put mustard on their tostadas which I thought was so weird for the longest time, so I’d order it without, but now I let them put it on and it’s seriously so good! Add the “sweet” salsa and you have an explosion of flavor. Husband always gets the crunchy carne asada tacos! Always chips and salsa. The green salsa tends to be a bit inconsistent as far as heat level but it’s so tasty! For a while the food was inconsistent in flavor and quality but now they are always great! It’s the only Mexican food in town that we will eat! Give it a try!
I haven't been to this place in three years because I moved out of state and it's still the best place in tehachapi. The service great, the food is so flavorful and good. Love this place so much. The portion ate so big! I git the nachos with carnitas and I left full and happy and I can't wait for my next visit here!
The restaurant was clean, cozy and inviting. The lady at the counter was very friendly. The food was fresh and delicious. We stopped here on the way from northern California to Las Vegas, nv for a bite to eat. We ordered enchiladas, with rice and beans and 2 bottles of coke. I highly recommend Taco Samich if you get the chance. I wanted a breakfast burrito but it was past breakfast time and the lady at the counter was willing to make it anyway. I didnt want to put her out, so I ordered the enchiladas.
Amazing customer service, super clean and organized and the food was amazing 🤩
It is always amazing to be served by the Garcian Family here at Taco Samich. The food is great and the place is clean. Thank you for the years you have been here.
I ordered a beef torta today. The bun, lettuce, tomato, and beef were fresh! I asked for the 'hot' salsa and it was warm and fresh. Not super hot. I also had a large horchata. It was very refreshing! It was take out only. I highly recommend eating at Taco Samich!
Amazing tacos ❤️ specially this taco salad. Whatever we ordered was tasty and in good quantity.

We had the wet burritos and they were ok. Had a taste in there that didn’t belong I can’t put my finger on it. Not there fault, mine. My husband really enjoyed his burrito, so there you go.
Local eatery I go to frequently. They know my preferred order and how to meet my dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free, no spice). Quick and kind. Good prices.
Great taco joint. Had a tasty breakfast burrito and my gf had 3 tacos. Solid price and great taste
Delicious food a little on the higher price but great food.

We Get An Absurd Amount Of Food For Cheap, Its Like Indian Street Venders We give Them A Penny And They Give Us There Whole Stock Basically, Yummy Food Although I Would put Some Seasoning On It, also the place needs Just A Little More Cleaning.
Good burrito. The breakfast burrito is better than the lunch/dinner ones. Daughter really like a the ride and quesadilla here. Right next to the park in a good location for takeout.
The chips and guacamole are worth the stop by themselves. And the carne asada is quite tasty too. It's authentic Mexican and usually busy which is one of those signs you take for positive and realize you were right to assume
Visiting tehachapi this past weekend while attending a wedding. I had a craving for a quesadilla and headed over to del taco. Sadly DEL TACO was proudly displaying a "B" 🤮 that was given to them by the health department. Did a quick Google search, and discovered Taco Samich ( they proudly display an "A" 😀 ). Restaurant appeared clean, prices were reasonable, and although overcooked my quesadilla was tasty. There was a limitation on the amount of salsa that you are allowed to consume. One small side cup for a taco, 2 for a burrito. I'm not one to waste food including salsa, but I like a lot of salsa/hot sauce on my food. I found this kind of odd and the first time I've ever noticed it in a Mexican restaurant. I could have forked out another 50 cents for another small side cup, but chose to use the one that came with my order sparingly....
This is an excellent Taco shop, on par with what you would find at your local 'Berto's in San Diego. If you ask, they will even make you a California burrito. Prices aren't crazy, though it is more expensive than Taco Bell.
Tried the fish taco and it was good.we tried beef burrito and taco. Both were good. Food was fresh and tasty. Prep time was quick and there are tables and booths. Sauces were good and fairly spicy, but not hot. We would be back, if we lived locally.
Decent food at reasonable prices. The fish burrito was good but a bit dry. The beans were tasty and everything tasted like it was homemade.

Waited 30 minutes for 2 burritos. My partner ordered a Chile Verde burrito which was underwhelming and soggy. I ordered an elephant burrito which was up to par, but was soggy by the time I received it. Price was around $24 for two mediocre meals.
A very cute little local spot. The food is pretty average, nice quiet relaxing atmosphere. Very good service and they keep everything very clean. The burrito and tostada we're rather small, but we were enjoying our visit to Tehachapi so it was no big deal.

The meat quality is suspicious, the Asada tastes and looks like yesterday's meat. No seasoning available at the table. Salsa is very good but not many options. Quite expensive for the quality you get
Ordered tacos and burritos today. Tacos good burritos had hardly any meat. Not worth the value
Greasy. Not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend. I used to really enjoy the food here about 5-6 years ago. About a year ago I had a very bad experience. Ordered the chicken hot cheeto burrito and got really bad food poisoning that lasted 2 full days. I recently decided to try them again since it’s been about 1 1/2 years. I ordered the taquitos. They are clearly store bought frozen taquitos thrown into a deep fryer and topped with cheap cheese and shredded lettuce. I will not be returning or trying this again establishment again. Idk what happened but they’ve gone downhill. Smh. Very disappointing

Disappointing. We have driven by this place often and finally decided to stop in for lunch... we ordered a fish, Carnitas and carne asada taco with chips and salsa. We were limited to one small plastic cup of salsa for the tacos and the reason was, " if we give you to much the owner gets mad." The meat was not seasoned and very bland. The service was definitely not with a smile. I would highly recommend not going there. We will not return.
Food had no flavor! guac. was probably bought from the dollar tree-was $10. Carnitas was flavorless. Worse so called Mexican food we've ever had.
Worst chicken tacos I've had in my life the chicken has no flavor and seems boiled. I ordered 3 of them and couldn't finish them. I had to buy more food else where.
$28 for an elephant burrito and two wet tostadas? Burrito wasn't horrible, but could've definitely been better. It was mostly rice and didn't have much flavor. Wasn't even given any lemons, but was at least given enough salsa to finish it. Lettuce was really wet so the tostadas were all soggy. Could've had something more filling and satisfying literally anywhere else. Oh well.
I bragged to my wife about this place and how good it was, the tacos were the best. Anyway I praised taco samich.... Man, idk what happened, I haven't been there in a few years and i didnt see the the older lady who was always there, i believe she owns the place. But the Food was horrible, the taco salad was gross, I had the Adobe tacos and Carne asada tacos, never tried anything so dry, my wife's mini tortas tasted like tuna, worst experience from the place I enjoyed eating... upsetting
One of the worst places we’ve eaten. The meat had sat so long it was completely overcooked and the flavor was too hot (out we like some heat), all of the salsa was extremely extremely hot with no mild or medium options, chips and salsa were super overpriced… Big disappointment.
Not authentic tacos at all and it was not steak it was roast beef as the meat not 100% corn tortilla it had flower with it very nasty very disappointed over the reviews that we looked at before we chose this place people really do not know what authentic tacos car

Ordered daily special, Fish & Chips. Got 4 pc's of dark brown unidentifiable something. Most of them not chewable and all were soaked thru in grease. Chips were fine, so I spent $15 for fries. It was take out for my lunch break, so I lost out on returning food. I would rate this as a ZERO if I could. I was a long time diner, but this gives pause to ever returning. The cook should have some semblance of quality control.
Ordered a wet burrito served with red sauce. Not your authentic Mexican restaurant. Food was plain for my taste, and meat appeared to be not fresh. Try at your own risk.
I tried the carnitas enchiladas plate, it had very old, inedible meat in it. The rice tasted as if it had been left out for a few days, I had to spit it out. I wouldn't give their food to my dog. I'm glad I didn't get sick!
