    Such a wonderful place to stop by on our way from the Bay Area to LA. We stopped for gas and saw Leo's Cafe across the street, thinking it was about time for brunch. It looks like the Breakfast and Dinner options are served during the entire operating hours of 8am-2pm. We were met with a warm welcome from the waitress and the service was superb. I got the biscuits and gravy (which came with 3 biscuits) and a cup of fruit (grapes, oranges, and cantaloupe) My partner got the meat mountain omelette and the total came out to be around $30. The place is very quaint but has lots of seating indoors and outdoors. There is a 1 stall restroom, and as a cute addition, there is a guest book for the customers to sign!

    Great little cafe in the historic town of San Miguel. Great stop off the highway. Good for pick up orders also. Always good to meet great people who own small businesses. A must!

    Chili relleno breakfast

    Another fabulous meal at Leo's. They knocked it out of the park on both of our entrees. The chili relleno was the best I ever had. Great flavor, moist, hot and an amazing chunky tomato salsa. You could have rice and beans or potatoes and eggs for your sides. My wife had the Denver omelette, flavorful onions, two kinds of peppers, cheese. Tasty and tender! The family always provides friendly service! Come on in

    I visited Leo's Cafe, a cozy and unassuming restaurant in San Miguel, CA. I tried their French toast combo and it was delicious! Their customer service is magnificent. Check them out if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed.

    We have been here two or three times while in the area to do wine tasting and have not been disappointed. The food is great and we enjoy their omelettes and other menu items. Don't be discouraged from the street, It's such a cute and comfortable place and the food is outstanding. Don't miss Leo's cafe while in San Miguel!

    Biscuits and chorizo gravy with hash browns. Water. Hot chocolate.

    I was headed north unexpectedly early, so had time for a breakfast stop. Rather than hit up any of the trendy spots in Paso, I decided to hop north a tad further and support smaller biz an a very small community. Came upon Leo's and look forward to my return! Upon approach, I was a bit turned off by their signage which invested more space in training people away (no dogs! No public restroom! Not a coffee house!) than inviting them in. Hey, if people want froo-froo coffee so often you have to put up a sign, maybe it's time to invest in an espresso maker. (Check with your local coffee roaster for their test-drive/rent-to-buy programs.) I almost turned around, but took a breath and gave it a shot. Once inside I was warmly greeted by the sole server in a midweek morning. A couple of old farmers chatted over breakfast in one corner. A woman at another small table gnoshed and stared at her phone streaming video with sound full on while a toddler in a stroller sought her attention. Another solo diner quietly worked his way through breakfast in this tiny dining room that (thankfully) hasn't been updated in a good while. Except for the screaming phone screen, it was old-school comfortable. The menus was loaded with options and I settled on comfort food with a twist. Biscuits and gravy made with chorizo was excellent. I'm a big eater, but I had to pack up half as leftover (greatly enjoyed the following morning). I'll be back.

    Corn beef hash, eggs, hash brown with biscuits and gravy.

    Needed food and a break to stretch our legs from the long drive. Found Leo's Cafe! Cute little family owned restaurant, serving breakfast and Mexican food. I had the corn beef hash and easy over eggs with biscuits! My husband ordered the Ortega Burger with onion rings. Overall food was good - a little too salty for my taste but it certainly hit the spot.

    Cute idea, they have a guest book for you to sign!

    Leo's is always my go to spot when I am traveling through central California. I would love to see more people in there filling the place up. It has a great atmosphere, friendly service and fantastic food. I typically order the breakfast burrito and it is always delicious. Today I got an egg combo and it was also very good. My boyfriend and I will continue to come back whenever we are passing by. Thanks for a great experience!

Something to look forward to on my next visit! The server was so charming and attentive. She never let our sodas run dry and shared in the perfect amount of conversation with us.

She wasn't serving anyone but had her back turned to us while she was doing paperwork. Menu- lots of choices with breakfast such as omelette, burgers for lunch. I got the Jose Burger with fries- burger with bacon, grilled onions, Ortega chili and American cheese. It was a pretty meaty burger. Had pickles, lettuce and tomato and lathered with mayo. Had to request mustard and ketchup. Burger was impressively good. Fries were thin and fried. Kinda remind me of shoestring fries. Burger - 5 stars, fries 3 stars Niece had California burger and wife had country griddle with sunny side eggs. Overall, not the greatest location. Nothing around it because the gas station. 3 stars Also, there's 2 prices on the check. Cash and a higher price for using a credit card

    Fun atmosphere and good food!…read more Stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for the night. The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it!

    November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.
