We stopped in during our annual visit to Cambria to try this place for the first time, craving Mexican food. We were not disappointed. The service was quick and the food was great. And, we greatly appreciated a variety of vegetarian-friendly options. read more

Got the shrimp and chicken fajitas and they were a 8/10. Added grilled jalapeños for $1.50 each, but worth it. Extra tortillas (beyond the 3 it came with) were $.75 each, which seems a little pricey. The Pacifico on tap was flat and not as cold as it should've been. Service was great, no complaints there. The atmosphere was not so good. It was dark and it seemed a little dirty (which may explain the lighting). All-in-all I would still recommend this place if you're set on a Mexican sit down restaurant. read more

Had lunch here and it was a great experience, cute little restaurant on the main drag . service is just ok but the food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. The millionaire margaritas were outstanding. We had the carnitas plate and the chili relleno both plates with large delicious potions, prices were very reasonable low $20 for entrees drinks about $13. And plenty strong and tasty. If you are in cambria give this place a shot read more

Super rude service, although the location was beautiful. Staff was inpatient and didn't take time to acknowledge customers.

We got to Cambria pretty late (7pm). Mostly everything is closed by 6:30 or 8pm. My family and I were starving after driving all day! Las Cambritas came through! They were open until 9pm. They welcomed us and our puppy. They seated and served us right away. They had excellent service. Their food was just amazing after that long drive. We went back the next morning for breakfast burritos! read more

Chicken tortilla soup was muddy with too much ingredients. Ordered a beer which came with my dinner. what happened to a "cocktail "before the food is served? Overhead lighting really makes the place lack ambiance. read more

Still great food. I see from my last review that I had the same thing. So delicious and I had leftovers for another day. The one disappointment was the blended margarita was from a machine so it was like an Icee which I didn't care for and it gave me brain freeze. read more

The pizza is DELICIOUS! Well prepared, prompt and perfect! Charming place, we will be back!

I used to like this place but not anymore. The food is okay but the service has declined. My girlfriend and I went in and ordered food to go, spent $41 for two dishes, waited ten minutes, and the lady came over and gave us the food. We left. Drove home only to realize my girlfriends food was completely wrong (it had meat in it) and she's vegetarian. We called the restaurant and explained and she said to come back and they had the correct order waiting. We drove all the way back, (both of us annoyed at this point), and the waitress gave my girlfriend the correct plate she had ordered. It was the original she had ordered 30 minutes prior and was cold when we got home. Right along with my cold food that was sitting at the house. Pretty much ruined our dinner. The waitress should have asked the kitchen to remake both plates because they messed up, but what the waitress offered was a free bag of chips and salsa. Thanks. Just what I want after spending over 40 dollars - two cold plates of food. The chips and salsa are nothing great either. I am done with this place. Service sucks. Food really could be better. At this point I only want a refund. Not going back. And may I add - this was not the first time we got home and the food was incorrect, but it is the last time. read more

My sister and I were taking a road trip and we were looking for dinner for the night and we found this place. The staff was very friendly. I ordered a Portobello Mushroom enchilada plate. The food was ok, the place was a quaint small place and the service was decent. read more

Oh my word, I just discovered the best chille rellenos I've ever had in my life!! Why oh why do I live so far from this restaurant?! Ok, also, amazing horchata margarita, that one was new for me and delicious. Mexican rice that was tender and flavorful. I don't know about you, but I find most times that the rice is pretty bland and just a plate filler. This rice however, was so tasty!! Extremely friendly server that was so gracious about our table hopping when I got cold and also brought over some activity books for my boys. Place was packed and clearly a local fav. Luckily it is also huge so we got seated right away. Highly recommend. read more

Everything is good. We sat outside. Service was slow and poor. The waiter did not check on us after the food arrived. I sat with an empty drink for the rest of my meal. When I paid they comped me half my meal so, they did make it up to me ! read more

Don't know if this place is under different management or ownership, but it has definitely changed. It used to be my go-to for margaritas and today I only had a few sips, it was just not good. We ordered the chicken taquitos and they were really fresh and tasty. The carne asada was charred, but maybe it was my fault because I ordered medium-well. I should have ordered medium-rare and maybe I would have had a medium asada. Didn't send it back, but I will not go out of my way to visit or recommend this place, which is sad because it used to be consistently good. On the upside, I stayed within my daily caloric intake. Time to find a new Mexican food and margaritas place in Cambria. 3 stars for the server who was polite and prompt. read more

Sat on the outdoor patio- pet friendly. Cadillac margarita was really good. My husband has a taco/enchilada combo- really filling. Kids had burrito and chicken- large portion for kids and they enjoyed. I had the Birriaquesa.. amazing. One of the best meals I had in a long time. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered nachos and a round of margaritas. Nachos delivered and consumed before the drinks ever showed up. After nearly an hour, still no drinks. Fail! Service is done by untrained kids who lack a basic understanding of customer service read more

I read the reviews, but since we were just traveling through and had limited options we decided to order from here anyways. Since I was doing take out, I asked that the burrito not be wet and put all the wet stuff (sour cream, guacamole) on the inside. The picture shows how they wrapped the burrito. The tortilla itself was tough so cutting through was a pain and very messy to eat. Also, I asked for no onions and they included onions. We also ordered carne asada taco and it was very dry. There was no sauce. I also ordered the shrimp taco and the sauce tasted like In-N-Out burger sauce, no Mexican flavors. Also, the service was not great. I waited at the host stand to be acknowledged to pick up the food. The bartender finally walks by and says 'I'll be right with you, but proceeds to walk back behind the bar to serve others and clear dishes. The bus boy on his 3rd walk by to me finally asks how I needed to be helped. I would not go back to this restaurant. read more

Las Cambritas - Carne asada burrito - Mexican Near Me - Cambria, California

Me and my family went to los Cambritas for lunch after going to Hirst Castle on a Wednesday afternoon. We got a burrito, fajitas, the Carne Asada plate, and Carne Asada enchiladas. They started off with giving us chips and salsa, the salsa was a little bit spicy but delicious and the chips were hot. The service was good and they filled up our water and chips and salsa when we needed more. The food was quite delicious and the portions were super big. However, the food was not as hot as I'd like and the chicken was a little dry and bland. The food also came out relatively fast. The restaurant is pretty big, with some art scattered around the walls. The outdoor seating in the patio is also super nice on a sunny day. Although a little expensive, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is decent. read more

Had a very good meal and great service. Good sized restaurant with fine atmosphere. Had the carnitas chilaquiles: carnitas were delicious and crispy, chips were tasty, egg was perfectly cooked, beans were a little bland (needed salt) but tasted homemade. Really generous portion. Overall, delicious. Also had the Birrias Tacos special: three full size (not street taco sized) tacos, very generously filled with birria. Served with consommé and salsa verde. Greasy as is typical of birria but in a delicious way. Overall, yummy and filling. Chips were pretty unspecial but salsa was good. Also had some drinks: Cadillac margarita was grea;, the jalapeño one with mezcal (can't remember the name) wasn't great but probably because I discovered I don't like mezcal. Service was terrific. Very attentive. Overall recommend. read more

Great place to stop and grab some great Mexican dishes. We had different salads, carnitas tacos, chips with salsa and guac, and elote. It was all super tasty. The food was fresh and the staff were very friendly. The location is dog friendly on its patio. I'd go back again. read more

We had a really good time at Las cambritas. We decided to sit at the bar for a light bite on the night we rolled into town. The venue is cute and the food we had tasted yummy. Quesobirria was on the specials menu so we ordered it and got more than the two of us could handle. We also split the large guacamole, which was too big for us to finish. Although the food was better than average, Jerry the bartender was superb. He was working hard, preparing all of the adult beverages for the entire rest plus waiting on the people working at the bar. He still had time to chat with us as he worked and we really enjoyed his company. We were having some car problems and he was kind enough to give the low down on which mechanic could best help us. I even sent an email to management to commend his service. If you're ever there, look him up and tell him Sally & Derek sent ya. Cheers. read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Cambria. Last night was so bad, not planning to return. Couple seated next to us got tired or waiting for the waitstaff to take their order and left to find dinner elsewhere. Ordered a round of margaritas to start (which never arrived). Wife ordered the Cambritas Chopped Salad ($13) barely any bacon nor corn or beans. Almost all lettuce plus a little sliced avocado and onion. From their special menu, ordered the (Oaxaca style) chicken mole enchiladas negro ($18). Worst chicken I've had in at least a year - shredded and dry and tough and flavorless. This comes from being shredded (which promotes dryness) and being left for days until it becomes jerky. Alternately, they're sourcing low quality frozen chicken yet charging premium pricing. Mole sauce itself was wonderful, as were the beans. Rice was dry and brittle - if you leave rice in a rice pot overnight, it will reach this texture in about 24 hours. Waitress reminded the bartender at least twice for our margaritas, which never came. At first, the restaurant was busy but at the time of the later reminders, the restaurant was half empty - the issue was the bartender was too busy interacting with their iPhone or Android phone. When we left, stood at the middle of the floor in front of the bar and waved goodbye to our friendly and apologetic waitress, and stared at the bartender, who did not look up from their iPhone / Android phone. Given this was the first night of a three night weekend in Cambria, and our hotel is walking distance, had planned on two rounds of margaritas (one with the chips and salsa and the other with the entree) - so Las Cambritas lost out on roughly $50 of alcohol revenue. read more

Great good, giant portions, and great service as well as cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised and will be returning again.

Hi, was on waitlist for linn's, then 1 block away saw this mexican restaurant and empty, done. Margaritas mediocre, chile relleno beef poor, made with skirt steak. Anyone who has ever had beef-stuffed chiles knows that is not the meat to be used. Maybe for fajitas or tacos, but not chile rellenos. The guac, no salt. Anyway, mediocre at best , not 4 stars. Sorry, people should know what to expect. read more

Cambria has few choices for good Mexican Food and this is one of them. We had good service, good food and took advantage of the full bar featuring great Margaritas! We had the Mexican Chopped Salad with Shrimp and also shared a few of the crispy Beef Tacos. Everything was good and we were very Happy with our visit.

I've passed this place the last three times I have been in Cambria and this was the first time I was able to eat there and it was worth it. Really enjoyed the fajitas I was having and I sampled the mole that my partner ordered and mole is something that if it isn't done right isn't good. They do mole right it was really good you could really taste all the ingrientents nothing over powered anything good balance. Very nice experience will return. read more

Once again sitting for a early Sunday dinner, sat immediately I ordered my favorite battered and fried avocado, (6 slices) i'm not sure why more Restaurants don't serve this tasty treat. I ordered the Paella Mexicana, shrimp, mussels, calamari, chorizo sauté onions, roasted poblanos served over rice. This dish is spicy, I looked forward to diggin' in and while I enjoyed the dish the spice really seemed to overpower the subtle's of the seafood. I also found the rice was consumed by the spice as well. I was half way through when I pushed the bowl aside for later. Maybe with some scrambled eggs in the morning...hum. T ordered the Mexican chopped salad with grilled chicken. She enjoyed her meal no complaints Shes a lite eater so half of that came home too. I think its time for me to move on to something different here, maybe some go to carnitas. On a side note to management its time to polish the copper top tables, the tarnish has a very prevailing stink that doesn't complement the food, just sayin' See ya next time. foodguy-martin read more
