    Huevos Rancheros and Chicken Enchiladas with homemade Horchata
    Monica C.

    The food was good, we ordered from the breakfast menu. Their house made horchata was one of my favorites, big portion. The service was quick and friendly. There's a nice patio in the back which would be great to sit at during warmer season.

    Shredded Beef enchiladas!

    Food is always Excellent!! Canitas and shredded beef are the bomb!! If you haven't given them a try you definitely should. Tiny hole in the wall place!

    Grilled Chicken Taco Carne Asada Taco & Rice

    Dinner was excellent! I had the carne asada and grilled chicken tacos, my husband had the pork verde burrito (wet) and a birria taco--everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The food is consistently delicious, and I usually get the chicken flautas but switched it up because I wanted tacos. An ice-cold Corona (now that they have their beer & wine license back) was perfect. On top of the great food, the owners are wonderful people--friendly, personable, and always make you feel welcome. Great food, great portions, and great people!

    La Costa Grill is hands-down the best Mexican food on the Central Coast--bar none--and I say that as a true Mexican food snob.

    Very overpriced for a small carne asada burrito. Could have easily been a $5 dollar burrito as opposed to $13.

    When in Pismo, eat seafood! I was craving clam chowder and a lobster roll and Ada's delivered!…read moreWell, I don't know if they actually deliver takeout, but I was glad they were open till 9:30pm on a weeknight so I could get my seafood fix after work and a workout. The bartender/server welcomed me in and seated me in the dining area. I already knew what I wanted so he put in my order as soon as I sat. The interior has a nostalgic charm, great for a date night. Executive chef and owner, Douglas MacMillan, fuses recipes from his mother, Ada Rosa's, hometown of Bonito, Italy and New England cuisine where his father is from. Although the "award winning" clam chowder didn't blow me away, it was delicious, creamy, not too salty and had clams in each spoonful. The Brussels Sprouts was one of the best I've had though. The sprouts were perfectly fried, not greasy, bacon was crispy, the dried cherries were subtle, goat cheese was evenly sprinkled on top and the balsamic reduction was well balanced. I had no problem eating the whole appetizer myself. The lobster roll came with big chunks of Maine lobster, topped with a big claw and nestled in a soft yet toasted New England roll. I asked for butter instead of it being dressed, so it was pretty plain, which was perfect for me because all I wanted to taste was the lobster with a little butter. I've had one too many lobster rolls with more mayo than I prefer. The fries it came with were also thick and fried perfectly with a light sprinkle of salt. I washed it all down with a nice glass of Chardonnay and was very satisfied with my last meal here. I would definitely come back to Ada's when in Pismo!

A couple of the drinks didn't quite hit, but the "Sunset and Chill" was a group favorite. The wedge salad isn't traditional, but it's delicious and a nice twist on the classic. The lasagna was a standout -- rich, decadent, and really satisfying. The portion looks small, but don't be fooled. Service was great throughout. They gave us semi-private seating, which we really appreciated, and the outdoor setup added a fresh, airy feel while still keeping things cozy for our group. For dessert, the toasted marshmallow torte was the clear table favorite -- definitely the one to try. The lemon tart was good too, but if you're choosing one, go marshmallow. A great way to wrap up the weekend.

All dishes were given with care but not necessarily to overly impress, meaning that the portion size was generous rather than dainty. The experience of the place was considerably more sophisticated than I recall from the Central Coast of almost 20 years ago when I lived in the area. (Granted, time has passed, but still refreshing to see.) Staff also seemed happy to be there and engaging with diners, more than merely doing their jobs. Thank you Ember for raising the bar and impressing this out of town guest!

I ordered the La Torre a stack full of delicious fresh seafood, including octopus, scallop, shrimp, crab, cucumber, red onions, just a very flavorful fresh tower of seafood. My husband tried the red enchiladas, which were Carne Asada with red sauce. They have an assortment of MexicanAguas frescas too. It was kind of empty when we arrived, while we were there, people were arriving, so I'm hoping that the good reviews are bringing people and we were truly in need of a good seafood place like this. Atmosphere with decent music was semi loud, but it would be nice if they just had some more colors of Mexico where it can be vibrant and more inviting, I guess with time it will come.
