Taco-licious. Nestled along the Central California coast is a smallish restaurant whose unassuming facade belies its big reputation and food. A local favorite, the Taco Temple is known for its excellent Mexican food with a twist; tasty desserts; and LARGE portions! And the staff are friendly!

I ordered the fish taco platter which was excellent and large. Since I was told to save room for dessert, I forced myself to leave some on the plate. I wasn’t disappointed!

True to their word, we finished our meal with the heaviest, tastiest carrot cake I have ever eaten. It wasn’t just the size of the slice, but the texture of the cake that made its weight very heavy. Between the two of us, we didn’t make it even halfway through it over the course of an afternoon and an evening of snacking.

If you’re visiting Morro Bay, CA, make time for the Taco Temple! And if you’re just passing through, make time to stop and pick up a slice of cake to go!
