La Tapatía

Best tacos on the central coast, bar none. 11/10 delicious Mexican food and super friendly guys.

Good authentic Mexican food. Plus a small grocery store with ethnic items. Consistent quality.

Best asada tacos in California -- smokey flavor and tender. Al pastor is delicious too!

6 stars 6 🌟 food is good Got the burrito de pastor was fire .. ( if u don't like spicy food make sure to tell him) Then taco de asada was fire n spicy worth it ..

The staff is awesome and they are pretty quick with takeout orders. I personally recommend the Tapatia Fries or the Chile Verde tacos. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

Great food amazing service and the tacos and chips and salsa are fresh and delicious

BEST Al pastor tacos on the central Coast. No other compares.

Loved the tacos al pastor. Friendly staff. No frills, no luxuries but very tasty food.

Just a little store with amazing great food. There chicken anything is amazing. The flavor is off the charts. Prices are great, food is even better.

Really good food. You will eat outside or to picnic table. Really good food very reasonable price

Best food in town!! Definitely suggest everything on the menu. My favorite is the pastor tacos but if he isn't open outside then the carne asada burrito spicy (🔥) .

Came here when visiting Oceano Dunes. Place looks scary to some people but honestly we took the gamble and im glad we did. The adobada/pastor tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had, better than a majority of pastor tacos I had while living in LA. Wayyyyy better than Leo’s Taco Truck and on par or better than Angel’s Tijuana Tacos in LA (which has 353k instagram followers). The carne asada was okay but the pastor/adobada is where its at! Give them a try ASAP!

A very welcome stop on our morning trip to Grover Beach. Their breakfast burritos hit the spot - eat one in the late morning sunshine and you’ll be happy until dinner. Friendly owner. A spot of red salsa and Jarritos on the side. Perfect!

BOMB Mexican food, their chicken tacos are soooo delicious. Small section of goods you can purchase. Fast, but not messy, service. I'm addicted to their salsas, even the one that's too spicy for my own taste buds.

You always hear about those Little Gems that only locals know about. This is one of them. I'll Pass 10 Mexican restaurants just to go get their tacos. Very very very nice people that work there. Just awesome hands down little tiny store but great big hearts.Just do yourself a favor go get a taco.

Legit. They have handmade tortillas, everything is from scratch... It tastes like going to your grandma's for a authentic mexican meal. It's Soo Good!! Try the chilli verde meal with tortilla rice n beans... Or the burrito. I'll be going here a lot more.

Perfect unassuming store front with great food and a wonderful family behind the counter just wanting to share their traditional delicious foods with neighbors and friends while making a living . Definitely worth a visit if your not Into decor but love a great meal at a good price.

Great food and super friendly staff. Would highly recommend it. Don't let the store front fool you! Reasonably priced too. We'll be back next trip up.

Incredibly good tacos and very friendly service. Highly recommend the carnitas and the fish. We’re only in town for the weekend and definitely will be going back tomorrow on our way home.

Fabulous Al pastor Nice little deli, no beer. You can go across the street to the other deli and get beer though😁

Best al pastor in town

Great little hidden gem with great food. We had tried the asada nachos and chicken burrito that was fantastic. The meat is bbq daily outside to give it that extra flavor.

Love this market! The food is really good and flavorful plus authentic. Great price! The staff and owner are so nice. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Delicious alpastor tacos on crunchy tortillas

I love this place! They always treat me well. In my humble opinion THE BEST for what they have to offer. No one tops their menu! If ya didn't know...now ya do!

We drive from Morro Bay to Grover for the breakfast burrito and asada burrito!!! Amazing every time! Thank you Oscar!

The reviews didn't let us down! Bomb tacos! I'll be making the 20-minute drive for them when I want tacos.

My favorite place to grab Mexican food in the 5 cities area. Good people, great food and ripe bananas for banana nut bread.

THE MAN WHO BBQ'S THE BEST FLAVORED BONLESS CHICKEN OUTSIDE. HE'S ALSO BEHIND THE REGISTER. HE'S WITHOUT A DOUBT EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND GOES OUT OF HIS WAY ABOVE, BEYOND, THE CALL OF DUTY EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL MYSELF OR MY FRIEND STOPS BY ... NOWADYS IT'S RARE TO FIND GOOD SERVICE, GOOD PORTIONS, EVEN A GOOD FOUNTAIN SODA THAT HAS JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF C02 MIX TO SATISFY YOUR THIRST MAKING YOUR MOUTH SAY, AWWWE THIS TASTES SOOOO GOOD!! IT'S THE TASTE YOU'RE HOPING FOR WHEN BUYING A FOUNTAIN DRINK. THIS PLACE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST OF THE BEST. HE HELPS TAKE OUT MY ICE, PROPANE, TO MY VEHICLE, AND SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN NEED TO GO INSIDE HE BROUGHT THE ICE TO ME. WE GAVE HIM A HEFTY TIP I RUN INSIDE TO BUY 1 MORE THING AND SAW HOW HONEST HE IS. HE'S PUTTING ALL INCLUDING MY TIP IN THE REGISTER... I HAD TO TELL HIM A COUPLE TIMES, "NO THAT'S FOR YOU, YOU DESERVE IT!!" I'M SURE HE'LL HELP YOU WITH WHATEVER'S NEEDED ALSO. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE! THE STREET STYLE TACOS ESPECIALLY THE PASTOR MADE OUTSIDE HE LET ME TRY THE FIRST TIME MAKES ME WANT TO GO BACK TIME AND TIME AGAIN!! KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING! ** Corner of South 13th & Trouville Ave

Best tacos I've had in Grover Beach. You can't beat the price either. La Tapatia? Yes, please

Outstanding, authentic Mexican food. The owners and staff are so friendly. Definitely the best in the area! Highly recommended

The best tacos you’ll ever have (better than any east la place) Al Pastor tacos, best you’ll ever get, Cabeza tacos, best you’ll ever get, Carne Asada tacos, best you’ll ever get. The only thing lacking was the salsas.

I regularly get the al pastor street tacos from here. Hand's down the best tacos I've ever had

Best street tacos and burritos around, El pastor on the spit is amazing

We come here far too often to mention, we love the street tacos and and carne asada fries...the owner of a very kind and we are happy to be able to support them.

Just tried this place today and we will definitely be regular customers now. I tried the tacos al pastor and I'm blown away at all the flavor for the price. My girlfriend tried the fish tacos and thought they were the best in the area. Some of the tastiest mexican food I have ever had. Friendly service too. 10/10.

got damn!!! food and service was everything. BEST tacos in oceano (san miguel, village catina…old juans included)

You have to try the tacos pastor! They are delicious!! The guys were super friendly and even threw in an extra taco!

I’ve been coming here since I was young , now my whole family goes at least once a week. It has always been great. By far the best little hole in the wall for a quick bite. Definetly recommend the daily special, 2 tacos w/ beans and rice & a large soda. AMAZING!

¡Muy bien! Food is great and burritos are big. Would recommend if you're looking for something quick and flavorful. Customer service was great too. Might not look like the pretty place to go to, but I went to find good food.

This place is the absolute best. Simple store with friendly people, and fresh street tacos! These tacos are delicious. Easy in, easy out. Don't miss your opportunity to have these tacos.

If you're a pastor fan...this is your jam. Bring cash to tip the pastor man out front. He will hook you up with a delicious plate! Not into pastor, that's ok too...their carnitas are delish & pretty much any taco you order will be good here. Smokey asada done on the BBQ, good beans & rice too

Best street Mexican food in Grover Beach, after getting back from Tijuana this is the only place that comes close to the el pastor I had in Mexico. Everyone that works there is super friendly and pleasant to talk to. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Literal best tacos I’ve ever had in my life

The pastor tacos are to die for! Definitely the best around.

This has always been a favorite place to eat. But even more now with everything going on they have impressed me. Even with the world opening up these wonderful people AWAYS have their masks on. Even the cook. The food is authentic and flavorful, but even better their respectful and helpful too.

AMAZING! Love this place, all their food is delicious and it’s always so quick and so reasonably priced!

Cooked up some steak for us to take home and included extra items like salsa and chopped onions with cilantro. Delicious!

The food was delicious! This place has an unusual setup. It's kind of like a convenience store on the inside. You order at one window and then pay at the register. Seating is outside at picnic tables. The food was really good. They have authentic el pastor roasting outside. I had a chicken burrito but others in my party had the El pastor tacos. And they looked delicious. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely go there again.

Best El pastor tacos in the area by far.

I've been going for over 15 years. They always have fresh food, and man. They aim to please. You won't find dry pork here. Love you guys!

Friendly, good food, authentic from scratch Mexican food

Fantastic, fresh, authentic tacos! Some of the best I’ve had on my road trip from Oregon to San Diego. And every taqueria should have a salsa this good! (If they only served beer, well, that would just be icing on the already delicious cake…)

Some really nice carne asada and al pastor tacos here. Al Pastor comes from a trompo. You can watch the steak getting grilled outside for carne asada. Some really nice salsa as well. Good place for a tasty lunch.

Wow! Great burritos, quick, friendly service and excellent pricing. The chile relleno burrito was our favorite! Highly recommend!

There's a lot of places to get tacos in the 805, but this place is hands down my favorite spot. I was born and raised here, and I love coming here for tacos.

Really great people and even better food.

Our family has been eating at La Tapatia for around 30 years. We usually go to the Oceano location. Lucy is the best...love her Carnitas. The 13th Street location is great too! Plus they just remodeled the outside dining area and it is so cute. If you want an authentic meal, try either location.. you won't be disappointed! It is all Great!

These are the absolute best Al Pastor tacos ever in the whole world!!! You have to try them!!!

Best Al Pastor tacos in town. I’m seriously addicted to these things. Is the real deal.

This place is the real deal. Al pastor, carnitas, pescados… We grab an order of tacos or burritos from here every week and have never been disappointed. There’s always seating on the patio, and the staff is super chill. Bonus points for the sticker machine that distributes fart-themed parodies on popular brands. We may or may not have started collecting these…

Taste of Mexico at the coast. The al pastor tacos are the highlight here. This is not Mexican cuisine, this is real authentic Mexican food. A little Spanish goes a long way when ordering. Highly recommended.

The al pastor tacos from the guy outside are incredible! Served with a jalapeño, lemon, radish, and cucumber. Pay and Grab a cold drink from inside. Inside has full menu if you want a burrito or other things. Everyone is incredibly friendly.

Thank you for the awesome food! Carne asada plates were great and also the Al pastor taco. Easy seating for the whole family. Also, the guys working were super friendly. Go Paquiao 🤙🏽

We just tried the fish tacos for the first time and were really impressed. 10/10 - the flavor, the freshness, the ingredients, and the price. The service was excellent - friendly, helpful, and professional. We got the tacos to-go, but there is a little patio out in front. We will definitely be going back again and again!!

The al pastor tacos are the best I’ve found in the entire area ☺️👌🏻

This place is great. It was a random choice to stop for food, and I'm happy I chose La Tapatia. The place itself didn't promise a lot, but feedbacks were good. And indeed, burrito was delicious, and I also got large ripe papaya for good price. Thank you!

Love this place, if you're looking for traditional style Mexican street tacos this is the place. The Al Pastor is amazing.

Their food is great and the service is top of the line. The people were very kind and beyond patient with my picky eaters. The food was amazing, we had the carnitas nachos and the asada tacos.

Best Authentic food👍 Great service and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We moved from Los Angeles to Paso Robles. So you know the Mexican Food in Paso Robles isn’t going to beat LA. We’ve seen this little shop many times and we finally decided to try it. I had 4 tacos de lengua and my partner a wet burrito. The tacos had a good amount of meat which is always a plus. Anyway, I put all the condiments on my tacos and took that first bite. It was delicious! Definitely reminded me of home. The staff are friendly as well. We’ll be eating here when ever we want Mexican food.

Good tacos. Got asada and al pastor. Both had soft moist meat with great flavor. The staff was friendly. The ordering process is a little unorthodox. You place your order at the kitchen window, to the right of the deli counter for everything EXCEPT AL PASTOR. Then you pay at the store register to the right of that (the north side of the store). If you have anything al pastor, you ORDER AT THE REGISTER and they give you another ticket to take to the outdoor cook. That's where the al pastor is made. They make that dish outside for you to pick up there. Everything else is prepared inside and they either have you pick up at the deli counter or that may bring it to you outside. That's the process as I understood it. Little confusing if it's your first time.

Deli food is delicious tacos de pastor is so good. Good quality good service 👍

Good tacos. Asada and pastor anyway. I like that they grease up the tortillas just a bit. Too many places dont do that and you get dry tortillas. Wish they sold beer to go with it. Maybe one of the best taco places in the county.

This place has the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. The guy runs the pastor spit out front of the market. Super chill dude who hooks it up! I think he's closed on Mondays tho.

No, it's not a tire shop. It's the best Al pastor tacos in town.

The carne asada tacos were great. Rice and beans great. The home made fried corn tortilla chips great. Ive had their brkfst burritos delish. If these folks had a better place to sit and eat how much more business would they have. But im happy to know they are there.

Great food from the kitchen and very friendly service. Most authentic tacos in town at low prices. Best lunch stop in Grover Beach.

One of my favorite places to go to get a good cheap burrito. Most days they're making fresh el pastor tacos outside for like $1.50

Food was very good. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito. It was huge. Way more than I could eat. Little pricey. Tables were very dirty. I asked for a towel to wipe the table down and she handed me a dry napkin. Music was Hispanic and a little loud

Pastor tacos are really good. Pretty much what everyone goes there for.

Yummy breakfast burrito! Was traveling from SLO to LA and was craving an authentic Mexican breakfast burrito. This spot popped up and it didn’t disappoint. The sausage breakfast burrito was very tasty, and it is of a hefty size! The only thing that I would change for next time is to remove salsa that was in the burrito as it made the burrito wet and difficult to eat. Personally, I love to add the salsa as I am eating the burrito. Either way, it didn’t disappoint.

There is no menu with prices. The only price listed is for tacos - $3.75. For the burrito, I was told $14.99.

Tacos ain’t bad by any means. Just pretty average compared to what you can get in-state. Fish tacos were fine although they did seem to have a faint “fishy” taste that comes from fish that has been stored for too long.

Really good tacos. But they recently up the price to almost 4 dollars a taco.. that's ridiculous. And won't be eating here anymore.

I don't stop here often but I did the other day. Got some ice some milk some soda and a few tacos for the road. Tacos are decent and everyone is friendly enough. Next morning I made a bowl of cereal and on that first spoonful realized the milk was way bad. No clumps just sour. Still in had a few days on it. Don't know who's to blame on that one. Fridge not cold enough?

I truly wanted to give them a higher rating. Theor meat has amazing flavor but the proceed to put a bunch of sauce on top of everything you can't taste it. The sauce is bland and watery amd very lacking. I was so excited for the pastor tacos until they came outside to make them. They do not pull the meat from the rotisserie, instead they get it out of a pan that is sitting there with tortillas and heat it on the grill.then they cover it in the same bland sauce as everything else. The chicharron are undercooked and soggy. If you take them home and crisp they up they are amazing with great flavor. But why am I recooking food before I can eat it? Now let's talk about their tortilla.... why is it so soft and falling apart. By the time I got home they were so soggy you couldn't pick up the tacos. If you go here just get meat and do the rest your self.

The guy misheard our order and gave us a cabeza burrito instead of a carne asada when we said carne asada like 5 times and charged us $25 dollars for that one burrito that we didn’t even want because the cabeza “cost extra” (there was barely any meat in it and was hairy) and then we got a wet burrito that had barely any sauce or cheese on it. They got so much popularity for their tacos that they overpriced everything on their menu and it’s not even the best Mexican food in town. Got a chocolate milk too and he charged us $4 for a small chocolate milk. Got straight ripped off, and the guy was super rude. Don’t recommend.

I really like the cook Elvis, the skinny shorter dude who fills in doesn't hook it up as much. I really like the food here and I'm super bummed that I was overcharged. No menu prices either. Is it worth ripping off your customers to lose them?

I could give it zero stars, but there's no other option. The worst chorizo ​​tacos I've ever had, dripping with oil. And as for the pastor tacos, the taquero didn't put pineapple on them even though he had it on the top of the spit, and he has a bad attitude.First and last visiting this place .don’t trust on the good reviews.
