The Best Restaurants Around Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO), According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"San Luis Obispo has plenty of options for great tacos, but among the best of them is the centrally located Taqueria El Guero. The casual restaurant serves a straightforward menu of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and tortas, filled with protein options including carne asada, birria, carnitas, and al pastor. Save room for a slice of tres leches cake for dessert. Taqueria El Guero also has locations in Grover Beach and Pismo Beach." - Rebecca Roland

I have food allergies and Oscar hooked me up by knowing they use canola oil, and setting up my order without dairy and gluten. I went with the Carne Asada taco plate. Corn tortillas were warm and tasty and meat even better! Wonderful seasoning with the green and red salsa. Loved it!

Very fast service, and the staff is all friendly and welcoming. Tacos are delicious and are highly recommended! Portions are on the bigger side so definitely worth the money. They are a bit costly but delicious food comes at a price.

First and foremost, the food is really good... The queda birria was juicy, rich, fatty, cheesy, and seasoned heavily even without the delicious side of consume. It was a hearty portion even for a giant like me and the house made pickled veg is another nice touch. The rice and beans are delicious as well, rich, soft, and probably some good fat in the refried beans. The drink selection is nice too with beer, wine, and my choice, horchata, which I filled with the fountain after it was gone (try the leftover horchata with some diet coke, so good). The place was busy, friendly, and well ran with music that matches the energetic vibe but was maybe a touch too loud for someone trying to chat (I was not). I'm often torn on how to reflect pricing in reviews. The bottom line is Taqueria El Guero is at the top most end of Taqueria prices you'll encounter in the entire area, and while the food was good, there are many places as good across the central coast. I see the prices up front, they're right there, and I can either accept or balk, so I tend not to really let it impact the score unless I feel gouged. Only on the side of rice and beans did I get close to feeling gouged due to their small portion, however with some consume poured on them I didn't mind their $6 little dish. Ill probably be back for more quesa birria, and that warrants 5 stars for making some dang good food.

Not quite to my taste. The smoky flavor was overpowering, and the meat lacked tenderness and special seasoning. The tacos were messy and kept falling apart while eating. Considering the quality, I found them a bit overpriced

Easily one of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Their burrito was so moist and cheesy, as well tasty and fresh, their rice and beans sides were also great. It is kinda expensive tho. If you find yourself in slo dt and want to try something good, def stop here. Would love to go again!

Awesome place to eat here in San Luis Obispo.. The food was Fantastic and the atmosphere was good. My wife had the three taco dinner and it was very good, I had the three quesabirria tacos with a side of rice and beans and it was Very good.. Definitely coming back to this place when we visit again.

Oh man, so good. I had the fish tacos and they were worth the price, completely. Birria was insanely good too, the homemade tortillas are next level!

Pricey but food is delicious. Got shrimp tacos, carne asada burrito, and quesadilla. Great flavor and portion. Just pricey. Got some agua frescas too
