“Had a large group (12) of close family. Celebrated a birthday, had 10-12 drinks served and ordered up Pollo Las Brisas, Lomo Saltado, Tacu Tacu along with El Mixti and ceviche's. All the food was excellent and very high quality. The saltado was with filet mignon and was delicious. Several family raved about the multiple fish dishes and the Las Brisas was some of the best chicken I've tasted anywhere. The desserts, and we tried 4 of them were all very good. Delicious to the point of being almost decadent... not a bad thing either. The food out did the drinks, so kudos to the chefs for winning this round! Only disappointment was no “Machu Picchu” dessert available on the menu. We'd enjoyed one several years ago and were hoping it was still on the menu. Overall; excellent food, beautiful ambiance and music in the background, average drinks, great desserts and the price was not outrageous for the quality of the evening.“

“We loved our dinner here, the fresh rolls and honey butter were to die for, and the pizza was amazing too. It wasn’t overly busy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were visiting on holiday and were given some good recommendations for places to go by our waiter, which was lovely and much appreciated. If we’re in Pismo Beach again we’ll be back!“

“Urbane Cafe went above and beyond my expectations with their teacher appreciation day. I enjoyed my free meal and the 1:1 attention and greeting that welcomed me to the location. It was my first visit to any Urbane Cafe and Arroyo Grande did the name and their store proud. Thank you.“

“Moving away from SLO and will miss the pizza and crew from Mikes! Simply the best pizza anywhere. Not just SLO. Not just California. Not just the US. Anywhere! The sourdough crust is unreal and the quality and flavor combos knock your socks off. Next time I am back in SLO the first stop will be Mikes for a Shroomies. Keep it up guys“

“Sam and Mariah are such exemplary and loving community members that their bread is as good as it is. And Mariah just started making the best scones on top of all the love and work she pours into bread all morning!! Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“Great experience at Scout! The service is top-notch and the shop itself has a great location/vibe.

What to Order:

Rosemary Latte: Unique and delicious.

Orange Cardamom Cappuccino: Highly recommend, super fragrant and smooth.

The Note: The coffee is definitely the star here. The cookie we had was average, so I’d stick to the drinks next time. Overall, a fantastic stop in San Luis Obispo.“

“Pretty good stuff from what I saw. I was there visiting a friend.“

“Great food in this sweet little corner restaurant. Hand made fresh tortillas are delicious.“

“We were here for the first time, and it won't be the last! Great food & beers & service!“

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“

“Beautiful ambiance. The guitar player’s music hit just the right balance of soul/jazz. The dishes were fantastic and the portions substantial.“

“Absolutely wonderful Thai food if you're looking for a great place to eat for lunch or dinner in San Luis Obispo you have to check out the Thai Palace which is right downtown tucked away in a little alley. A lot of their food can be prepared gluten free and it's clearly marked on the menu. I would say Don't just settle for the pad thai but get something really incredible like the Pad Gra prow. Also if you like ginger you definitely have to check out their hot ginger tea it's very similar to what we make at home very strong Ginger flavor very healthy just delicious. The service was phenomenal the food was awesome and the atmosphere was very cool. I will definitely be back with my family. I don't think there are any Chinese restaurants in the area in Pismo or SLO that offer gluten-free but I think this place is even better. Also if you're vegan I think they have options for that too.“

“We love coming here. We stop every time we are close. It’s always busy and the cinnamon rolls are always fresh.“

“Julia’s Juice Bar in Grover Beach was the perfect way to start the day. I had the Cayenne Beet, and it was exactly what I was hoping for — a great beet-forward flavor balanced with just the right amount of heat from the cayenne. It felt fresh, intentional, and genuinely nourishing.

My companion had the Tropic Fusion and was very satisfied with it as well. Overall, it was a refreshing and energizing experience, and a great reminder of the nutrients we probably should all be consuming more regularly. Definitely a worthwhile stop if you’re looking for quality juices and a healthy start to the morning.“

“Great place right on Shell Beach Road in the Village. Sandwiches are awesome. Highly recommend!“

“We are from the Bay Area, but Zorro’s is probably my top restaurant for Mexican food among all we frequent. Tastes are exquisite. A very large selection. Staff is friendly and efficient. I wish we could go there each week, but alas, we would have to travel 200 miles to do so. You will not regret this. Enjoy and savor the experience.“

“What a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Italian flavors, generous portions, and every dish was prepared perfectly. The service was incredibly fast without ever feeling rushed.
A special thank you to Grace, our waitress, who was totally awesome. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.
I also had the pleasure of sitting at the bar with Carlos, who was professional, personable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. His great attitude and excellent customer service truly stood out.
Overall, this restaurant deserves a 5-star rating all around for its amazing food, fast service, and exceptional staff. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!“

“We had the most tasty Peruvian food in downtown San Luis Obispo at Coya in their new location at 851 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. The chicken saltado one of the best I have ever had. The beef empanada large. The passion fruit drink, Maracuya, refreshing. All house made authentic Peruvian food. I hope you will visit Coya and enjoy the food as much as we did. The ambience beautifully decorated with traditional Peruvian products, clothing, hats, purses, dolls, cookies, coffee and lamas. Large dinning room and outdoor seating nice. We can’t wait to visit again to try More Peruvian food. Catalina the owner, very welcoming and took good care of us. Thank you 🥰“

When it came time for the wedding day, Haute Skillet provided the most delicious family-style meal for our guests – we received SO many compliments on the food! The service was also exceptional. Thank you, Chef Anna and Haute Skillet team!“

“Sidecar is a must here in San Luis Obispo! The staff and the owners and everything about the place will knock your socks off. I think it’s high time. You guys open a second Sidecar by me in So Cal!“

“The Pizza wings and Potato wedges were perfect. Everything was hot and freshly made in no time. I just finished a 21K Spartan Race in Slo Cal and this really hit the spot. The service was top notch. Sal really took care of us and made sure my family had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area. Thank you Sal!“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“The mac and cheese was exceptional with a nice crispy crust to it. The marinara has a subtle spiciness to it that goes fantastic with the meatballs and the pizza. Service was great, cocktails and beer selection was Fanta fantastic, but this pizza...... Chicago style crust is so fluffy, soft and cheesy. The best pizza by far. 10 out of 10. Great restaurant. You guys are killing it“

“These donuts are amazing, they always have what I'm looking for and the people are so kind and caring. When ever I crave donuts I go there. Nothing satisfies my cravings better than these donuts! I recommend it. 10/10“
