Gorgeous spot with top notch service and seriously tasty food and drinks. Can’t recommend it enough

Stopped in for a bite on our way to Pfeiffer Beach. Loved the general store, and the food was amazing!

A Must-Stop Spot in Big Sur!
Every time we head down the coast, we make it a point to stop at the Big Sur Village General Store & Burrito Bar. The shop itself is super convenient—loaded with everything from road trip snacks and drinks to camping gear and cool local goodies. But the real highlight? The burritos! Fresh, huge, and customizable with all your favorite fillings. You can also go lighter and turn it into a hearty salad.
We enjoyed ours while relaxing in Adirondack chairs right by the river—feet in the water, full bellies, total bliss. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere laid-back, and the scenery unbeatable. Honestly, it was so good we didn’t even think to take a photo. This place deserves all five stars!

Best breakfast burrito with bacon. We also had a sweet patry and coffee which were good. Staff was very nice. They also make hot sandwiches but only from 11:00am

Phenomenal carnitas and chorizo street tacos - I would absolutely recommend this spot for lunch! Great staff!

Outstanding fresh Mexican food! This was recommended by a local and we took the opportunity.

The Hotdog I ate here was fabulous

The Chorizo burrito was on par with the fictional “meat tornado” from parks and recreation. Even better if you find a good spot on the 1 overlooking the coast and eat the burrito with a view.

Our lodge in the middle of the night drive home was Big Sur. My family was frustrated to learn that a recent landslide had blocked a road and had to take a detour. So we decided to grab a bite to eat and drive out to survive, and we went in there without even thinking about ordering a sandwich. Oh my god, it was such a tough chicken sandwich to describe how I felt. An old lady at work made it for me. We baked the common bread and added some tough chicken and dark muggy leaves in between. I highly recommend it. It was a tough chicken sandwich.
Stayed here early Aug 2023 with my family of 4 (kids 11 and 8) for 1 night on our way down PCH. We had a nice stay. I don’t think the owners of this place ever had any intention of creating a 5 star luxury hotel, but what they did create is a pleasant, clean, comfortable place to visit in an amazing part of the coast. Had we planned better, we would’ve stayed 2 nights to have more time to relax by the river. We ate dinner and breakfast at the on-site restaurant. Both were quite good. We got some souvenirs and snacks for the road at the general store as well. One small downside was that there was a bit of road noise at night that was noticeable especially with the windows open. Overall this hotel and the area were a highlight of our weeklong road trip down the coast.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and we decided to return for our 44th anniversary. We stayed in one of the suites overlooking the river. These are plain and rustic and could use some updating. The heater in our room looked like it was very old. There is no air conditioning and no in-room refrigeration, which was a little difficult since I must travel with medication that requires it. But the restaurant and bar staff were very good about providing ice whenever I asked. In fact, all the staff were always pleasant and helpful. The bed and pillows in our room were great. You can't beat the location with great hiking and other attractions within a few minutes drive. We made sure to stay through Sunday so we could enjoy the weekly live music and barbeque on the Inn's lovely lawn along a very peaceful river. The grounds and gardens are lovely.

Beautiful location. No AC in rooms bit luckily the weather was good. Any warmer and it would have been un comfortable. Honestly for the price a night a few more amenities or at least free breakfast would be nice.

The atmosphere was quaint and homey with wood fireplaces warming up the chilly May morning. The food and service were excellent. We recommend that you have a restaurant staff member escort you to your car, as the Inn accused us of stealing their pillow. WTF? We were NEVER in the Inn that is attached to the same grounds as the restaurant. The Hispanic hotel staff came up to our car to make this accusation, but when we tried to tell them that they were mistaken, suddenly the staff could not speak nor understand English. Even after explaining this to the staff member, she left and then returned with another staff member to make the same accusation and surprise of surprises, the second staff member also suffered from sudden English language loss. So if you want an excellent meal ruined by an arrogant Inn staff member, don't have a restaurant staff member escort you to your vehicle. If the Inn is so hard up that they accuse restaurant patrons of pillow theft, then I feel sorry for them. Especially as their daily room rate is well above the average for rooms in the area.
