Taco Grande

You can still get a good meal for 9.99. I appreciate businesses that don't overcharge. My breakfast is so big, I will have leftovers for lunch. I ask for the "machaca" plate and I got beans, country potatoes, guacamole and lots of "Machaca" (shredded dry beef with scrambled eggs). Food is really good and coffee is only 1.99. Love the food at this place.

Legitimately excellent burritos. Had a bean and cheese and a regular chile relleno burrito. Both were excellent. Salsa was also very good. Looks like a normal mild restaurant red salsa (think what you get with chips and salsa) but has a surprising kick to it.

Great Mexican menu. Large meals and plates. The soft tacos aren't of the small variety. They are a hefty size. The plates are large and tasty. Enchiladas and soft tacos Al Pastor are excellent choices. Also the to go get special packaging. Not styrofoam because when cutting through food it goes through it. They use high grade plastic. Or you can stay and eat. Good seating and TV's.

Food is flavorful and generous portions. Staff is friendly and efficient.

The chorizo breakfast burrito is amazing!!!!
They sell beer too.

Nice service and amazing food, great portion size, we had a crispy taco and a jumbo burrito

Great food and good customer service.

I got the nachos they were amazing

Tacos for lunch. Order at the counter. Tacos had a lot of meat and tasted good. Not much more to ask for. Would stop in again when in Carpinteria.

We popped in here because it was close by, and we are so glad we did. Taco Grande serves up delicious food, generous portions, great prices, excellent service, and one of the best salsas I have ever eaten. We will definitely be back.

I've been eating here for longer than I'm going to tell you. ; )
The portions have diminished over the years, but not the quality. For the most part. I love the crispy tacos, I love the enchiladas, I love their rice. The rice use to have a lot more flavor, it was SO good. Now it's just okay.
You use to get a lot of chips when ordering to go. Now, you get about 10. 10 chips. Sad. 😳
This is a great little local place, close to Rincon, which is how I stumbled across it. Rincon is a major surfing beach right down the road. Nothing like tacos and beer after being out in the water....

We were on a long drive from Oxnard to Paso and know Carpinteria well. We had a load in the truck so thought we’d just run into the Grocery store for a sandwich. I spied Taco Grande from across the parking lot in the shopping center. We drove over and parked close by so we could watch the truck.
My husband ordered a delicious burrito. Not small. And i ordered a grilled chicken tostada. All good. Food came quickly. Warm chips and salsa. Friendly service. We sat outside. Each year in June we have a family reunion in Carpinteria at the state beach. I will make a point to gather everyone up for lunch next June and head for Taco Grande!

The burritos at this joint never fail I've been working out here for about two months and this has been my go-to place so far! The Cali burrito is really good specially since the fries are not soggy like most places. The diablo😈 sauce is bomb! Best place in this area!

Extensive menu. Tried the Chile relleno, enchiladas and crispy tacos, all good and authentic. Portions are generous, reasonably priced and a friendly staff to serve you. Definitely a must for lunch or dinner.

Great place for a weekend breakfast in a great little town.

My family and I stopped by this place without knowing anything about it and what a great surprise, amazing food, big portions and it is the real deal. You should try it

It's a good place, good services, and good food, I like dine in there when I work close that area , it's my preferred place for my lunch

Food here is great and prices too. Really good Mexico food one of my favorite places in Carpinteria to eat at. Always the people who work there are awesome. Good place to grab some yummy food

Great menu using fresh ingredients, with large portions. The taquitos are the best! The guacamole is excellent.

Got my HUGE Veg burrito and chips fast and for a great price. Californian Mexican stylee and it was phenomenal. A+ Gracias Amigos
