We were passing through town and wanted lunch. We ordered our food at the counter and sat outside…read more There is a nice view of the ocean. Despite being outside, they checked up on us often. The meal came with Fantastic home made tortilla chips. I had the California burrito. Which was very good, but didn't have shrimp. My experience is the California burrito usually comes with Asada and Shrimp. We also had the chicken Taquitos and a side great salad. Overall, a great meal.

Things change and so do people, and so it is with what once was a wonderful, truly Mexican cafe…read morealong Hwy 1 outside of Morro Bay, CA. They use to serve GIGANTIC burritos, stuffed to bursting with homemade carnitas and other meats. Well, the crowds were no longer there and there was actually parking available immediately in front of the building. And the building looked like it had experienced some hard times. One man at the cash register taking orders. You could read the menu behind him posted on the wall. Very basic options and the interior seating was at 1950s style linoleum kitchen tables and chairs. Probably bought at a flea market. We were crushed. I had a combo platter of one crispy carnitas taco at $23. Ground beef. Very basic and lacked flavor. Outrageous for over $20. Wife had two enchiladas a la carte, cheese and green at $13. Mush. At least we have our memories and hope that someone will come along to resurrect it into at least something close to what was.

First time here and I got to say it was really good food!…read more The crispy tortilla shell for my tostada salad was fresh. I asked for extra cheese and they delivered. The salsa has really good flavor. The burrito was very filling and good size. They fill it up with your choice of protein. The one I got was the chile verde and was very delicious. I highly recommend this spot to try out.!! the staffs friendly and they keep the place very clean! The recipe shows what it would typically be for two people at the time of this upload It's budget friendly with great food and portions! Note: Salsa is not complimentary but it's a 2.50 but you can order as much as you'd like. I went ahead and ordered it because I like salsa so worth a try! Highly recommend this place !

Hubby was craving menudo. He found this on Yelp and decided to try it…read more Arrived Mother's Day morning and the place was nearly empty, but we arrived kind of early because people started to pour in shortly after we arrived. He ordered menudo with the pigs foot and I ordered the chilequilles(?). Mine was yummy, yummy. Hubby thought the Bowl of menudo would've been larger though. He didn't want to add more than chili flakes and a little cilantro & onions because he didn't want to mask the flavor of the broth. It was delicious! And quite surprisingly filled him up with the amount of the serving. We will visit again the next time we're in the area.

Menudo (tripe soup) with corn hominy and tendon. Of course, I added the white onions and coriander…read moreleaves along with fresh lime juice, Mexican oregano and chili flakes. The tendon comes from the area above the hooves. I request not to have the hoof. This is an ode and a love letter to a people and a culture that took what would have been discarded ingredients and made it phenomenal. Most other restaurants in the area only serve this on the weekend and usually reserved for Sunday, but here it is a daily staple and has become my go to dish. The tripe is cooked thoroughly and holds on to the rich flavors of the both with profound care. And the broth is unctuous and rich while steeped in the history of chilies and patience. The tendon when added in gives a greater depth and silkiness that elevates this dish even further. Of course, onion, coriander and oregano gives it the perfect herbaceous notes and balances out the richness with cool notes. This isn't just a soup, this is an experience that one has to have, that one deserves. To taste the food of a people's is to understand their strength, perseverance, their love and ultimately brings you one step closer to a cultural awakening that you didn't know that you needed.

We've have owned a home in the area for many years but never stopped at Chapala, so we decided to…read morestop for lunch one day. It was a pleasant surprise! Here's what we noticed: - The inside is pretty nice, lighter inside than you would expect from looking at it on the outside because of the skylights. The paint inside is a little tired and there's some cobwebs, etc. around but it still had a nice atmosphere. The chairs and tables are a bit tired, but ok. - The menu is pretty broad, and the prices seemed pretty reasonable. - My wife and I decided to split two different meals, the Al Pastor Burrito (which was served with a small salad) and the combo plate of Sofa and Chili Relleno. The portions on both dishes were really good, such that we took half the burrito home for later. The food was very tasty! - Service was just fine, although it was a pretty quiet time at lunch on a Thursday. Bottom line: This is a solid Mexican place, better than some in the area. We'll come back again, maybe to get take-out next time.

We were here the Saturday of memorial weekend- we arrived around 5:15. The band had just started,…read morewe were hoping just tuning up and would adjust the volume. They were really loud and basic. We found a table downstairs in the bar as far away from the band as possible. We couldn't even hear each other to talk- other groups were saying the same thing We ordered the calamari appetizer and then the fish and chips for my husband and the seared ahi with wasabi mashed potatoes for me. Everything came out all at once- and no one ever came to check on us. The fish and chips were good, my ahi was nice- but the potatoes were cold and it was covered in seaweed salad I had to pick off. Later I was trying to remember why I ordered the ahi over the halibut or the mahi mahi- looking at the menu it says the ahi has blue crab wasabi mashed potatoes- so that's why I ordered it. I had shared my meal with my hubby and so I asked him if he noticed/tasted any crab on the potatoes. Neither of us did- thinking they left it out. The calamari should have been the appetizer- but everything came all at once- I would rather have skipped them at that point. Hubby had to go up to the bar to get refills- he was gone a long time. When he came back he told me that they had him leave a credit card with them when he placed the order. We weren't drinking alcohol, so this didn't seem necessary. Had I known this, I would have suggested not even staying and finding a different restaurant. Well the bartender said he lost our credit card/ but would try to find it.... um, what!!!! They did finally find it about 20 minutes later. No apologies or anything other than dumping the check at the end of the table. So far, we haven't found any rando charges on our card from our dinner here... but watch your cards here We walked from our hotel- so we didn't have to deal with parking- but it would have been hard over the holiday weekend We did have a nice view of the beach- even better view from upstairs

We've been coming to this place for over 10 years. It's the only place we've found bean taquitos…read more We come for miles to eat here even if it's out of the way. The bean taquitos were covered with cheese, a large spoonful of guacamole, and a large dollop of crema. Another thing I love is the warm (temperature-wise) salsa on the side-both green and red. I ate 5 of mine and think the amount was perfect. The place had a line out the door for the whole time I was there. The line was full of families and also CPSLO students. Until next time, Tacos de Mexico...

Stopped in for a quick meal and was really impressed!…read more The cashier was warm and friendly, making us feel welcome from the start. We ordered the carne asada burrito, a cheese quesadilla, and an al pastor taco. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made to order. The carne asada burrito was excellent, and the quesadilla came loaded with sour cream, lettuce, and tomato on the side, which was a nice touch. The al pastor taco was also delicious. They were out of carnitas the day we visited, but there were still plenty of great options. And as a bonus--they have pellet ice, which is always a win! Fresh ingredients, tasty food, friendly service, and I'd definitely come back.

Now, the gf and I didn't get the chowder, so perhaps that's great. But we ordered Steamer Clams, Fish Sandwich, and Fish & Chips -- all were awful. Steamer Clams: "Steamed in butter, garlic, and wine, served with garlic bread" -- well, it was basically butter broth, swimming in it. No seasoning or salt, no flavor. All the taste was oily butter, and I didn't feel well because of too much. [$19.50, 1.5 stars] Fish Sandwich: made from snapper and presented badly. It was overcooked and rubbery, gf sent it back. [$18, 1.5 stars] Fish & Chips: nice portion, but bland as hell and I didn't care for the breading -- which had the taste of flour. Fries were okay. [$18.50, 3.0 stars] Move along.
