    Cannot recommend Wes Hagen and his hospitality at the Ranchos De Ontiveros facility enough. 5+…read morestars! Wes' incredible amount of knowledge, and painstaking explanations (without being boring) of the entire growth, processing, and history of the winemaking and vinting process was nothing short of a wonderful journey into the heart of California winemaking. Like I told Wes when we set out on our tour, I'm no oenophile. I simply know what I like when I taste it. Wes was patient, inquisitive, and not high minded about wine and how and when it can be enjoyed. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and thoroughness with which he constructed the tasting, and the accompanying culinary pairings. For those considering the tour, the Ranchos De Ontiveros grounds are a little further out there, but you'll be rewarded with the majesty of the Santa Maria valley and the bucolic surrounds which envelop the landscape. Between the setting and the awesome educational experience through Wes, you will undoubtedly feel privileged to have spend a wonderful couple hours in his and the vinyards company.

    They hosted us for a 31 person private tasting on a Saturday afternoon. This was to celebrate me…read moreand my fiancée's engagement which happened only an hour prior. These guys went above and beyond to show us a good time and were incredibly kind and generous. The wine was spectacular. Most guests bought bottles at the end. And every single person was thrilled with their experience. They way way way exceeded our expectations - which I'm not saying lightly. The venue was stunning, and we couldn't be more grateful to have had such spectacular hosts.

    I tried the "Chicken Shawarma wrap". The garlic sauce which came with it, is Super Awesome! Loved…read morethe wrap, so authentic. It is the best Chicken Shawarma in the area!!! Friendly staff, excellent customer service. Very experienced cook!! Clean environment. So delicious.

    Ive tried l&k 3 times in one week. And the food (burritos/tacos/combos) are actually delicious…read more Even for santa maria where every 20 yards is a Mexican food place. Someone reviewed this place slipped up in regards of sanitary practices , but tell me which restaurant from morro bay to santa Barbara hasn't slipped up before? I don't like the idea of bad practice... but I know every joint doesn't adhere 100% to standards. Wish they did but overall... never had a bad meal at l&k or a weird feeling. The bad review praised/suggested la pico sita which is basically the best Mexican food in santa maria. Agreed. But, even la pico is questionable in standards. Best Mexican food is from mothers, grandmothers and aunts. And I promise you their methods aren't 100% sanitary. Even horrible national chain Chipotle failed with their "standards" ... I'll take love and respect over defrosting meat next to dirty dishes in the end game results. I say that with a grain of salt. I would prefer best practice, but when it comes to food, Mexican food specifically... there is a gray area. No one wants to get sick because of bad practices. But... ive thoroughly vetted l&k this week... and they were consistently on point. Felt good after each meal, like I walked out of fine sushi joint. As far as im concerned... l&k is to liquor/market/burritos as Swiss/shaws is to steak house . All are santa maria . Real/raw/staples Unless you have an immune disorder snowflake... enjoy it. Its good.
