Chalio's - Kettleman City

Yummy food. Very friendly and quick for a pit stop in kettleman city. We both agreed the meat could use a pinch of salt but otherwise super tasty and hit the spot.

Came for the Tesla lounge, stayed for the tacos. This place is . Started with one asada taco and a ham breakfast burrito to try it out, but ended up getting 6 more tacos to fill up.

Rude and incompetent cashier. Dishonest food handler. First, no gloves were used. We odered 7 tacos but he was trying to hand us 6 even though my son and I were standing in front of him counting how many he made the whole time. Insulting because knew even while fumbling on the 6th taco that the kitchen left out an order of tortillas (brought from back) to assemble the last one. He had the audacity to tell us our 7 tacos were ready. Unbelievable. At best mediocore flavor wise and pricey. Don't bother with this place, there is a taco bell right across the street.

The food was five stars authentic Mexican. The decor is from some other planet, however. Food was served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils, not so classy on the presentation. Again, go here for the food! The food! Did I say the food?!! We had a quesadilla with salsa that was otherworldly good, and the carne asada nachos were generous and excellent. And a monster size horchata. Yum!! This place is in a back corner but definitely worth checking out.

We came here to have dinner after a two hour trip. Ordered chicharon and chorizo tacos along with tostada ceviche. The taste was okay. The price was okay. The place was clean and not too crowded. I gave it 5 stars because the place was cool and clean. The food is good quality except that I was looking for more tastier tacos. Overall, good food and great place to do a rest stop while enjoying tacos.
