I got rang up for 2 regular burritos and 4 tacos and the bill was $49. At $14 a burrito which doesn't have any sour cream, or guac and is mostly rice and beans, this is quite steep. The meat was chewy and very salty. The chicken burrito was slightly better but still over salted. I would only order a taco from here in the future. The biggest bummer was that I didn't notice that they didn't give me a single salsa with my order to go.

This turned out to be very true. Half the customers seemed to know each other. Anyway, the ambiance is pretty thin. Not much to look at and all the food is served in paper or styrofoam containers. Help yourself to some plastic cutlery if needed. However, the food was very tasty. Certainly above average for a basic Mexican place. I ordered the carnitas plate and a chile relleno à la carte. I like to test Mexican restaurants by trying the chile relleno. That was the best part of the meal. Took a few minutes for my order because the relleno was obviously freshly made. Very well roasted poblano with just a little bite to it. Well breaded, fried, and sauced. Carnitas were very tasty as well. Service was a bit odd as they call your number and then stand there and ask you if you want everything on it and then slap it on top in front of you.

I got the horchata and it was creamy, cinnamony and not too sweet! Order at the register and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. The food comes out within minutes!

The al pastor burrito was packed with perfectly seasoned meat and well-balanced ingredients, while the beef cheese quesadilla was warm, satisfying, and generously filled. You can tell they put real care into both the taste and presentation. Beyond the food, the whole experience felt elevated by the atmosphere. The space has a cool, modern vibe while still feeling welcoming, and everything was spotless--it honestly looks brand new and very well maintained. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable lingering a bit longer and enjoying your meal. The only small downside for me was that the chips and salsa were served at the same time as the main dishes. I would have preferred to have them brought out earlier as a starter, just to enjoy them before the meal arrived. Overall, it's more than just a quick bite--it's a place we'd gladly come back to for both the food and the inviting environment.

When in Pismo, eat seafood!

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!

This time we brought the dog with us and sat on the patio, which was clean, shady and comfortable. Shout out to the server who came outside to check on us and make sure we liked our food. This time we had: (Taco Tuesday priced @ $2.50 each) Al Pastor and Carnitas tacos - the al pastor was SO good, served piping hot and had a good "scald" on it. The carnitas, unfortunately were dry this time. Like they'd been cooked earlier and were sitting under a heat lamp drying out. No worries. We ate most of it and shared with the dog, which she loved! (Regular priced at $5.25 and 6.25 respectively) Fish Taco - seasoned and grilled to perfection Veggie Taco - rice, beans, lettuce and tomato with a delicious sauce on top. Both of these tacos are bigger than the meat tacos. Very filling. Do not pass up the fresh tortilla chips and salsa bar. The watermelon habanero was hot enough to get your attention. My favorite is the roasted salsa. Seriously, I could drink that stuff.
