Walked in at 5:15 pm and the gentleman in front of me was on the phone, he turned to me and said you hear the phone ringing? That’s me trying to get someone to come from the kitchen. What?? Waited fir a few more, someone walked from the kitchen and disregarded all of us. Your rating should be a

Didn’t ask me whether I want Mexican style or American style. I asked for fish but give me shrimp. Three Toco costs $28, for real?

Decided to stop here for dinner. It definitely needs a lot of attention in all.

Visiting to see the Cambria Christmas Market, I was excited to try this place, as it had good reviews. Very disappointed at the end. Eventhough the waitress tried to give us good service, I was not satisfied. We chose to seat inside because there were small flies outside around the tables. But at the end, it was worst inside. Flies every where, once we got our food we had to keep making sure the flies didnt settle on our food. Not very sanitary. I got a chile relleno burrito. The green sauce on top was ok, not much flavor at all. My son got a kids burrito and the waitress was nice enough to make it a chicken burrito, thank you for that. I ordered a strawberry mojito, but they said they didnt have strawberries. So no mojito for me. Unfortunately if I come and visit again, I will not be eating here. The place looks very nice from the outside, but looks can be deceiving.

Terrible service. No one around, customers or workers. And my takeout meal was completely wrong. I was the only customer. Over charged. Never coming back.

We had great strawberry margaritas. We had a great time watching the sun go down sitting outside. The food was very, very good. The service was really great. It is very dog friendly. And they put up with us laughing and having a great time. I want to say thank you to the staff and the experience.

CAUTION, RIP-OFF: prices on web menu are not correct. I called in a take-out order. No one gave me a total over the phone. Upon arrival, item prices were 50-100% higher! I suggested they needed to update their web menu. He said “we tried and couldn’t, they give u total on phone.” They also failed to give me two side items that I ordered. I went back for a refund, since we were staying at the motel right next door and had finished our meal before I noticed. He said “it’s a problem with cards, we can’t do a refund”. I just held my irritation in and walked out. BEWARE, VERY SKETCHY!

Our experience and meal was fantastic & it exceeded our expectations. Their back yard is surrounded by beautiful plants & peaceful. We got the combo meal with crispy taco & an enchilada with red sauce, beans & rice with yummy cheese on the beans. It was full of flavor, did not skimp on the meat & my taco was perfectly crispy! Thank you for a great experience and to our Lovely server who was very sweet. I cannot believe this place is not packed 24/7. It’s not cheap but no place is anymore. It was worth it!

Le cadre est magnifique et la nourriture est excellente. Sans parler du personnel qui est au petit soin pour ses clients ?

A quiet little restaurant in the heart of San Simeon which serves authentic and pretty good Mexican food. A classic Mexican menu with the upgraded cocktail list to go with the usual margaritas and beer. Great views of the ocean and if you time it right you might get a great sunset in as well. We were staying at the hotel next door and stopped by here to eat and we were delighted. Old school authentic Mexican food. You can't beat it.
