10. El Pollo Loco
Reviewed By thawsout
The chicken is delicious, a variety of menu items for any taste. The marinades and fresh salsas, guacamole, etc. are available to add to your meal in the restaurant. The prices are reasonable and this is a family friendly tasty dine in or take out alternative to burger or Mexican fast food.Enjoy items off the dollar menu and special family meal prices; the chicken is moist, the varied combos and individual items surpass KFC
9. Taco Roco
Reviewed By Taylor C
My girlfriend loves this place. I'm not exactly sure why. I thought the food was pretty average as far as Mexican food goes. I found it to be quite overpriced for what you are getting as well. For some reason her family loves it though. I did see some specials for mahi mahi or red snapper tacos that seemed pretty decent. Try it out, love it or leave it.
8. El Pollo Norteno
Reviewed By Paris60
This is not like all the other El Pollo Nortenos. We live in Orange County, and everytime we travel up North we have to stop here. It is a must!! The Tri-Tip is tender and tasty and the service is great. The Horchatas are great, and the chicken is really good.

The casual atmosphere and reasonable prices make this a good choice for friends, couples, and families. Relax and enjoy well prepared Mexican dishes with really good refried beans, rice and my taste test is if the chile rellenos are very good, So is the rest! Their chile rellenos are better than most and you won't over pay, give it a try!
5. Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant
Reviewed By DocSavage_007
I stopped if for dinner at the really nice little Mexican restaurant, and had chicken street tacos - a really great special today at $1.25 each (usually $1.65). The tortillas were tasty,,almost seemed homemade, the chicken filling plentiful and really tasty.... I had to order two more because they were so good. Free tortilla chips and lots of fresh salsas and condiments. The guy at the next table had the huge ceviche tostada and told me it was great. Saw a huge burrito at another table, looked really good.... A big bowl of soup someone else ordered looked tasty, too.Prices are pretty good, generally about $5-11 for a meal. Looks like they have regular $1.25 Taco Tuesdays, too.Service was great, a really sweet lady brought the food out piping hot. Pleasant atmosphere, nice place to relax with friends or just kick back for a nice dinner. I'll be back, it's the closest place to the Radisson, good to grab some tasty reasonably priced food.

My husband and I enjoyed having a lunch there at Santa Maria Public Airport. We appreciated their free nachos they bring to the table together with the menus. Their portion of Mexican Fiesta Salad ($7.99) was big. It would look so much better with a plate rather than a bowl, but I enjoyed it. Thank you!

Look at the menu, make your choice, wait, and get your food. It's exactly the same as all other Taco Bells. It's not true Mexican food at all. It just makes the feeling of hunger go away for a low price.

Kinda pricey. Small salsa bar. I would stick to the basics burrito and tacos. Good service. In a small strip mall.

We've been to this restaurant a couple of times for breakfast as well as lunch. Service is quick and friendly and I yet have to eat anything that I don't like. We discovered this place through Mexican friends and that's a good sign if that is their go to place for Mexican food. My wife declared that theirs are the best chili rellenos she's ever had.
