The only downside in dining here is the parking situation. THERE IS NO PARKING IN THE RESTAURANT PARKING LOT FOR RESTAURANT CUSTOMERS - it is ALL for the B&B next door. Street parking is minimal as well, so plan ahead if you are on a schedule and add extra time to search for a spot.

Tried this place after 9 holes at dairy creek and saw that they had fish tacos. I've been looking…read morefor the best on the central coast and haven't found any real good ones until now. Great service, quick service and just a chill place to eat and grab a drink. Marcerro spicy tacos- honestly some of the best I've had around the area. Most places do not season the batter and the fish so usually it's bland and over slawed. These had a great balance of sauce, slaw and fish. The fish was seasoned well and the bite was great all together. The mango, for me, actually didn't do much and honestly confused my palate a little. If the tacos had been spicier then maybe it would've worked but it just felt unnecessary. Not the best fish tacos I've ever had but very good and might be the best I've tried on the central coast. I'll definitely come back again to try some of their other food. side note-my friend got the garlic parmesan? wings and they were full of flavor as well and cooked perfectly. Crispy outside and moist inside!

I was so excited when this restaurant was announced . 5 star cocktails (if there is staff) . The…read moreappetizers we had were extraordinarily salty. This was mid afternoon. We returned with visitors at 7 pm a couple weeks later for dinner. The restaurant was empty and we were informed that there were two staff and one was in the kitchen and there was a 1/2 hour to 45 minute wait time for food. The bartender was also backed up. They were serving the people hitting balls I guess with no one for the restaurant. Definitely won't return and don't recommend even though the location and ambiance could be amazing if the food and service were decent. Dining out these days is expensive and I'm going where things are worth it. That isn't Marcerro.

Mostly a young crowd but all ages showed up and showed out.

I was denied entry solely because I have a service dog, which is discrimination under the ADA. This…read moreis the second incident with this establishment where they have discriminated against me (I want to mention my prior experience my service dog came with me and was under control at all times and we were never asked to leave, so there was no prior incident for us). On arrival, my service dog was heeling calmly and under full control while the bouncer spoke with us. Despite this, I was told I could not enter because the establishment downstairs had previously had "an incident" with a different service animal. Denying access based on a past experience with another dog is not lawful. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, service animals may only be excluded if that specific animal is out of control or not housebroken--neither of which applied here. My dog was behaving impeccably and performing their trained tasks. Loudness, past incidents, or personal assumptions are not valid reasons to refuse a service animal. This was not a misunderstanding--it was a refusal of access based on disability. I hope management educates their staff on ADA compliance so future disabled patrons are not treated this way. I will not be spending my money here and urge others to do the same based on their discriminatory behavior.

The mac was very cheesy and really spot on, it's got some bacon pieces that gave it a crunchy bite here and there.

The place we initially wanted to eat at was extremely loud and there was a line outside. The energy was way too high for us for a Thursday night, so we decided to keep walking down the street. Eventually we saw the sign on one of the side streets and decided to check it out. The bar was SO cute! Loved all the wood and light fixtures. The bartenders, Josh and Justin were very sweet and welcoming. The music was fun, but still chill. We had such a great time, it was exactly what we wanted. If we are ever in the area, we will be going back! Thank you!
