Efren's Deli - Oceano

The best tacos in central coast Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Five stars all the way! I recently moved to oceano and holy ****, this place is sooooo good. All of our friends from out of town LOVE this place and so do I! The micheladas are so fantastic! The shrimp are perfect, and my friend from fresno, which is know for having some of the best authentic mexican food this side of tijuana, said she had the best chili verde chimmychanga she has EVER HAD! This place if filled with oceano locals, so watch your step. Be polite, order your food, and be amazed.

**Dining Experience: Lunch** **Cost per Person:** $30–$50 **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 2/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 5/5 I recently dined here for lunch and overall, it was quite a mixed experience. The food was absolutely outstanding—definitely deserving of a perfect rating. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. However, the service left a lot to be desired. It was noticeably slow and inattentive, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable meal. On the plus side, the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance was inviting and created a great backdrop for lunch. In summary, if you're looking for amazing food and a delightful setting, this place is worth a visit, but be prepared for less-than-stellar service.
