    "Semita Poblana". First time I've eaten this delicious torta and it was out of this world!! Very delicious!

    Love to eat from this place! They got a lot of varieties of foods to eat!! It's hard to choose sometimes but everything on the menu looks very good. And tried a few of them myself and never disappoint! Highly recommend this place to everyone!!

    Chicken taquitos with the amazing dip concoction of avocado and sour cream

    They have a great mild green salsa for the chips and salsa they give out while you are waiting for your food. I had the carnitas tacos and their carnitas were moist and not dry and they pack the tacos well. The tacos alone are delicious but I love salsa and asked for more of the tasty green salsa and coated them and they were even tastier. I also had the chicken taquitos and they were also moist and tasty along with the amazing dip concoction of avocado and sour cream mix they give out with it. The waiter who gave our food was very nice and also the other staff was too upon arriving and leaving . We had a warm friendly chill vibe and over all great homemade food. I love the inside of the restaurant especially the ceiling which had the Loteria Board game all over it. We will be coming back for more and to try the other menu items.

    Taco Tuesday was super yummy, and Julio was an awesome waiter! He was highly attentive and helped us with our dietary needs. Highly recommend!

    Delicious! Hidden gem on east side. So far we've had shrimp tacos, tortas, and flan and they were all terrific.

    This is one of our stops when we drive from SoCal to NorCal. Perfect stop for a break and great…read moreplace for fresh seafood. We have eaten grilled and fried fish tacos and the fish and chips. All the dishes are filling and satisfying. The fish tacos have a nice helping of shredded cabbage and sauce. The homemade chips with the salsa on the side are nice and crispy. There are tables outside and even though there are a lot of people, there is a lot of turnover so there's always an open table. We always get these two dishes but we'll try other dishes next time.

    Pier 46 looked like the kind of place that should be terrific: seafood case up front, chalkboard…read morespecials, fish-market energy, barrels under the counter, and enough "fresh daily" signage to make you feel like a deckhand might burst through the door with a halibut over his shoulder. We stopped here on Memorial Day mostly because we were in Templeton heading to Trader Joe's to stock up on snacks and water for the long drive home. Pier 46 averaged around 4.8 stars on Yelp, so expectations were reasonably high. Based on what we ordered, that rating feels inflated. The setup is very casual. You walk in, order at the counter, pay -- Apple Pay accepted, at least -- and then wait. No table marker, no number, no sleek system. When the food is ready, a guy in a trucker cap finds you. There's some charm in that, but the whole operation also feels a little outdated. The tables are cheap and old, and the dining area has a bit of that "we've been meaning to freshen this up since 2014" energy. Outdoor seating was available, but it was cold and windy, and I didn't want my fish and chips turning into flying fish and chips. The outdoor area also looked a little tacky and wasn't cleaned immediately after prior parties left crumbs behind. Indoors wasn't exactly glamorous either, but at least the wind wasn't trying to garnish my lunch. The music was good, though. Linda Ronstadt's "Long Long Time" was playing while I waited for my order, and standing there hungry, I felt those lyrics a little too deeply. Dramatic? Yes. But hunger always exaggerates one's sense of time eventually. The food took around 10 to 15 minutes, a little longer than expected but not a major issue. The fish and chips were probably the better item. The batter was light, crisp, and not too oily, and the frying oil seemed fresh. That part was solid. The fries, however, were not really "chips" in the traditional fish-and-chips sense. It was more like a mix of basic fries and sweet potato fries. Not bad, but I ordered fish and chips, not fish and half-fries/half-sweet-potato-fries in a witness protection program. I ordered the cioppino, which came in what I can only describe as a gold-digger pan -- shiny, dramatic, and possibly one real estate transaction away from a Bravo show. The stew had plenty of tomato clumps, a few clams, several mussels, pieces of salmon, and a lot of tuna/ahi. The salmon pieces were nice enough, but the ahi did not do the dish any favors. It was overcooked and dry, almost chicken-like, which is not exactly the maritime poetry one hopes for in cioppino. The broth had a pleasant thyme aftertaste, but overall it wasn't memorable. Cioppino should have depth, brine, garlic, tomato, heat, and a little bit of oceanic danger. This one was more like a respectable tomato seafood stew that showed up, did its job, and then quietly left before anyone asked it a follow-up question. The garlic bread was also underwhelming and a bit too burnt around the edges. Not inedible, not disaster-level, just lacking that satisfying garlic-butter punch. It was more "toast that had heard about garlic from a cousin." The clam chowder was fine: creamy, mild, safe. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing that would make me start writing postcards home either. I had a Pinot Noir with the meal, and that was actually pretty good. No complaints there. Service was sincere and reliable, and I don't have any real issue with the staff. The place clearly has appeal, and the seafood counter looked promising. I could see returning to try something simpler, maybe grilled fish, tacos, or something from the fresh case. But based on the cioppino, fish and chips, chowder, and overall vibe, this was not a 4.8-star experience for me. It did the job, but it won't be especially memorable except for the cioppino arriving in that gold-digger pan. Overall: no major problems, but nothing close to a seafood revelation. A standard 3 out of 5 based on what I ordered, with the vibes landing closer to a lukewarm 2.8. My main suggestion: ditch the dried-up ahi and add more clams and scallops. Cioppino needs brine, sweetness, and ocean character -- not tuna doing a bad impression of chicken breast.

This restaurant came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. When we arrived, the setting was lovely, and we were warmly welcomed by Michelle. She was gracious, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the personalized place card waiting for us with our reservation. At first, my wife and her friend were a bit unsure as they reviewed the menu, as they didn't immediately see options that appealed to them. However, that quickly changed. Our friend ordered the asparagus salad and croquettes, while my wife chose the rosemary garlic grilled prawns and roasted heirloom carrots. Both dishes completely exceeded expectations--they were blown away by how flavorful and well-prepared everything was. Over the course of our trip, we visited many wineries and enjoyed several excellent meals throughout the Central Coast. Yet by the end of it, both my wife and her friend agreed that this dinner stood out as the most memorable--truly the highlight among many great experiences. Thank you for starting our trip on such a high note.
