      Great spot in Atascadero. They are fairly new and took over the old Burrito Express location. Though they have the same menu I was told they are not affiliated. Ordering through their web site or app "from the restaurant" is super easy.

      I had a chile relleno burrito and it was delicious! Came back two weeks later for another. This time I also ordered a carnitas burrito for my Gramma. She loved it. Not too many places in the north county to rave about when it comes to Mexican food but this place has not disappointed. Another important thing is the prices. Very reasonable!! I have paid much more for much worse.

      Staff is friendly. Inside the restaurant is a big space for dining and attached they have a banquet room that can be rented for parties!

      Congratulations to the new owners I wish you much success! Can't wait to come back and try another dish.

      The tortas were superb, and the Michoacán enchiladas were totally authentic to tradition. Everyone enjoyed the tasty meal and we plan to return often. Highly recommended!

      Wow! What a great find. The food is even better than the last owner, which was good. We had tacos for taco Tuesday. Al pastor and carne asada with a side of rice. Perfecto. Will be back next week!

      Taco Tuesdays! I alway get the Carne Asada tacos with the Red Sauce, which I absolutely love at this place! Very tasty, tender, and juicy. Their Red Sauce is also amazing. Today I decided to order one Carnitas and one Al Pastor with my Carne Asada tacos. Impressive, both were the same quality as the Carne Asada tacos. Tasty, tender, and juicy. I cannot stand when there are a bunch of tasteless, fatty meat pieces in my tacos. I have never had that experience here. I would get tacos any day of the week here. But Taco Tuesdays is an additional plus!

      The food was excellent and not over-priced like many places nowadays. The service was great and the staff was friendly. It is absolutely one of our go-to places.

      First to Review

      We stopped here after a visit to Hearst Castle, everyone starving. We were immediately seated, although it is a walk up/ quick service style restaurant, the server took our order from the table. They brought us some fresh chips and salsa, and our children devoured those crispy triangles as if they hadn't eaten in days. All that walking built up their appetites! Here's what we would recommend-- the pastor and birria tacos were delicious, so we're the corn/asada flautas and flour/chicken flautas. The burritos are customized with whatever you'd like were also delicious. Although we all loved the food, I'm taking the time to right this review because the service was exceptional- friendly, quick, attentive, and really refreshing. I would have taken pics, but everyone ate so quickly! We felt welcomed, enjoyed our meals, and we will be back! Thank you everyone at Route 101!
