    Tacos
    Mitzy A.

    The service was quick, and the ordering process was simple and efficient. The tacos were decent, but I've had better al pastor elsewhere, and that happens to be my favorite type of meat. I actually preferred the gorditas over the tacos. The masa had a very authentic flavor and texture, which made them stand out.

    Ok who would've thought some of the best tacos would be in the small town of Cambria?!?! Being from LA, and knowing that tacos only get better as we get closer to the border, I did not expect these tacos to hit as good as they did. So flavorful , they even got the pineapple bits on the Al pastor. It was awesome to have one of my favorite foods in the area and a good break from the more traditional fare. There's several benches/outdoor patio seating and it seems like there's a lot of regulars that stop by. Would highly recommend squeezing this place in your itinerary if you're in the area!

    Boni's Tacos is a must! It's a small food truck that offers a variety of delicious Mexican food. My boyfriend and I tried their Al pastor and carne asada tacos, which were so delicious, that we had to order twice! The only issue we had was that they were a bit slow, and they were also extremely busy, so be prepared for a wait, especially during lunch time. Luckily they have some seating around, so you can soak up the sun, and enjoy the beautiful weather while you wait for your food.

    Um no pics of food because well it looked and tasted so good I didn't get a chance to take any lol. Staff was so kind and Spanish speaking as well! Lots of seating options outside. Had a chicken gordita and my oh my was it so delicious! Perfectly fried tortilla with well seasoned meat! Only critique i have is that i would have preferred fresh cheese vs melting cheese but regardless it was still delicious!! Definitely will be stopping by each time I'm in the area and you should too!

    Absolutely delicious tacos and burritos! Friendly service as well. Tacos are flavorful and delish!! The burrito was so good. Chicken and fillings in every bite!

    4 tacos.

    Found this little gem in the small town of Cambria. Showed up around 3:15, they close at 5 but were shutting down early due to running out of food. Couldn't get a burrito but had tacos instead. Ordered two carne, one pastor and one chili verde. Chili verde won by a long shot, absolutely delicious. Others were good too. Chips and salsa very tasty. Wanted rice and beans but they were out of beans, they looked great though from what we could see. Advice: don't go towards end of day, they're likely out of deliciousness.

    Breakfast Burrito (Medium)

    The service was great but expect a 5-10minute line due to how popular it is. This is a little food truck just off a popular street so you'll be hearing the cars pass by. The Breakfast Burrito was excellent! This is a very good burrito made with care to ensure it is both juicy inside and crispy/dry on the outside. Good price, good portions, great food. Strongly recommend!

    Well, I don't have any pictures of the food to post along with my review, because we straight gobbled it up upon receiving our order LOL! We actually stopped into Boni's 2 times, one going up the coast and then on the way back. We ordered the Al pastor tacos, quesadilla and chile verde Gordita, everything was super yummy! Love that they cook the Al pastor traditionally, it's so good! The Chile Verde Gordita was epic good, the pork was so tender! The food comes out pretty fast, the staff is friendly and there are places to sit outside the food truck that are comfortable. Highly suggest Boni's for great Mexican food in Cambria!

    Breakfast burrito with al pastor
    Layla E.

    My gosh, best breakfast burritos ever!!!! This was our first time here, and we absolutely LOVED it. We got the breakfast burrito with Al pastor, and it was gone within seconds. The service was quick and friendly, and we could tell the meat was fresh. It's a food truck located on a nice corner, with plenty of street parking and seating around it. Definitely has a nice and welcoming feel to it. It felt very local, which we appreciate since a lot of places can feel a little tourist-trappy. We will definitely be back!!!

    Okay, so I've been coming to Cambria for years (like since I was in my 20s and now I'm in my 40s long) and only now did I discover Boni's. I'm pissed. All this time, there was amazing al pastor tacos just chilling on Main Street. Like really? Why haven't I been here before? So rude. Anyway. The Al pastor is so good. My husband and I shared a taco plate and as I write this, lightweight upset I didn't get a burrito because their beans and rice were also really good. Like, I'm also lightweight upset they were closed Tuesday-Thursday cause I was really hoping I'd be eating a goddamn burrito as I write this. They also ate quite popular. There was a lot of regulars that came up while we were there because more than a few times I hear "Usual order?". You know then it's a good place, We also had the chips and salsa. Chips were okay, like, acceptable and not going to complain. I do wish they were homemade though. The salsa though? My god. That was good. Like, I wanted more of that too. If you are hankering for amazing tacos, look no further than Boni's.

    When you see a line at a local taco truck, you know it's going to be great! Crazy that I waited this long to try this place. My company raved over it...so duh! Of course, I was in! We shared the most delicious chili verde burrito and we each had a pastor taco...omg! Soooo good! I'm so glad that I finally tried Boni's! Thanks to my companion for the great recommendation!

    An absolute banger of a food truck. 10/10, fast service and fresh ingredients. Somehow, still really accessible-- six tacos, and two sodas for $25, and most importantly-- absolutely *delicious* If I lived here, I'd eat daily.

    Three asada tacos plate.

    We have seen this taco truck in Cambria for years and never found the time to stop by. I recalled years ago reading about the owner, Boniface, and his efforts to provide good food to the community. This past week, we made the effort to find out why there were lines of people at this humble taco truck. The lines are a direct result of delicious Mexican food. The young man taking orders was extremely polite and helpful. My wife ordered the three taco plate and I ordered a taco pastor and a chili verde gordita. Oh my, what a taste treat. Everything was excellent The pastor was very good but I was thrilled with the chili verde. I ended up ordering a small burrito of straight chili verde. Yummy!!! We will definitely go back and enjoy their good food and dine outside at the nice location. Bon Appetite at Boni's!!!

    Delicious Al Pastor tacos!

    If someone asked me to recommend just one restaurant in Cambria, I'd probably answer before they…read morefinished the question: Medusa's. Now, full disclosure--I might be a little biased because Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. I grew up in Los Angeles, where finding incredible Mexican food isn't a challenge... it's practically a birthright. So when I say Medusa's is the real deal, I don't hand out that compliment lightly. My wife and I almost always order the Molcajete, and it's become our tradition. It's advertised as serving two people, and it absolutely does... assuming one of those people doesn't "accidentally" keep taking just one more bite. It's loaded with flavor, generous portions, and arrives at the table looking like it deserves its own introduction. The biggest surprise on this visit? The tortillas. They were fresh, homemade, and absolutely phenomenal. Maybe they've always made them from scratch and I somehow missed it, but this time they stole the show. They tasted just like the ones my abuelita used to make--warm, soft, and so good they almost made me forget there was an entire Molcajete sitting in front of me. One of my favorite things about Medusa's is that it's family-run, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. Everyone is genuinely welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel like you're more than just another table. That kind of hospitality is getting harder to find, and it makes the meal even better. I've eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants over the years, and Medusa's has earned a permanent spot near the top of my list. If you're in Cambria and craving authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. Just one piece of advice: don't fill up on the chips... no matter how much your stomach insists it's a great idea. Your future self will thank you when the Molcajete arrives.

    First, no greeting by the lady who took our order. Quite frankly, she was not polite at all…read more Second, and probably most important, the food was sub par to say the least. Wifey order the menudo. The lady said they had run out of hominy. The tripe had not been cleaned properly and the soup had a layer of grease floating on top. She said it was gross. I had chile verde and eggs. Very little meat and the green chile was salty, but otherwise flavorless. Homemade corn tortillas were Ok, but looked machine made. Also, if u don't speak Spanish u may be out of luck. I do, but when my wife would ask a question in English, the lady replied in Spanish..... $58. for2 meals later, we ran from this place.

We were politely asked to leave. No fault of the restaurant whatsoever--it was just one of those surreal moments that perfectly captured the beginning of that crazy chapter in history. Fast forward six years... We randomly picked this place for dinner and, as soon as we walked in, we both looked at each other and said, "Wait... haven't we been here before?" Then it hit us. This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the six-year wait. The service was just as impressive. Karina was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, charming, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

I do not eat seafood, therefore this review is based off of my group. My husband enjoyed the oysters stating they were fresh and sweet. My daughter loved the calamari. I was quite underwhelmed with the spicy tequila cream chicken pasta. I was told that the dish was very spicy. To me, there was barely a hint of heat to it. The flavors was lacking. I feel as if the sliced onions should be left out. Our friend ordered the cioppino and mentioned the same thing, the sliced onions made the dish taste a little off but otherwise delicious. The kids fusilli with Parmesan was ok. It was basically tossed in butter and she can add her own Parmesan. The rib eye came out medium well. We thought that maybe it was just the ends that were a bit more cooked, however, almost the entire steak was medium well. The only part that we didn't eat was looked to be medium. Although the steak was not cooked to our preferred temperature, it was very flavorful and tender. And we sure were hungry after a day of exploring. We ate nearly the entire plate. I didn't want to mention anything since we ate 90% of the plate, but our friend convinced us to bring it up to the server. And so I did, not wanting to anything to be done about it. We did nearly finish it. We also did not want to wait longer for the steak to be re-made. I paid for my tab and it was well under what I had expected the total to be. I scanned through the itemized receipt and realized that they took off the steak. I felt ashamed for even bringing it up since we basically ate it all. The cocktails were great. Not too watered down or too heavy with alcohol. The restaurant has an amazing view overlooking the Pacific Ocean and offers outdoor seating. The service is quick and everyone was very friendly.

And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly.
