Restaurants near Santa Margarita

“Went for lunch on a recent trip to California. Everything was very nice and their wine is excellent. Too bad that it is not located at the vineyard. The best experience that I have had at other places was restaurants and tasting rooms at vineyards, often with great views of the vines.”

“The breakfast burrito that Trevor, Nikki and team are putting together here is fabulous! Very welcoming environment. My 4th time eating here and I've tried different things every time. It's all good! 😃”

“I went for my birthday dinner tonight with my three girlfriends and we were delighted! It was the first time for all of us and we were not disappointed. The service was great, the food presentation was top notch and delicious! We all agreed to come back regularly and make our way through the menu!”

“Libby and her team did my desserts for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park! My now hubby has the biggest sweet tooth so this one was a decision he was apart of! We did a sample tasting where I went and purchased all the cookie and cupcake options and went home and taste. 10/10 recommend that! It was a fun date night we had our friends apart of! The day of the wedding they delivered all my goodies and set things up beautifully! I’m so thankful for Libby and her team at the bakery for being apart of our big day! 💕”

“Have no pictures because we ate our food so fast, it was SO good. Ordered the western Benedict and crumbed steak & eggs, their country gravy is great. Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again.”

“Great food with an easy atmosphere!”

“Delicious! Amazing service! Vibes unmatched. We got 4 different sandwiches and we all loved them. 10 out of 10 ⭐ "High"Ly recommend😁🥪💨💨💨”

“Omg!!! Only good things to say about Kiko’s!!! The hospitality is unmatched, everyone made us feel so welcome. The manager, servers, and Kiko himself are all very kind, enthusiastic, and warm. Excited to keep coming back!!”

“I tried this place for the first time today. Amazingly there was no on in line. I had the pleasure of meeting Suzy herself & the sweet lady who made my burrito. The food was delicious. I got a carne asada burrito for my lunch. It was meaty, delicious & perfectly moist. I also got a couple tamales to go. I was set up nicely for a delicious dinner later & it was so good I was inspired to write this review. I will definitely be going back.”

“Great sandwiches. It is a little confusing figuring out who is making your sandwiches since more than one person is preparing them.”

“Great food and great service!”

“Stopped for coffee and to squeeze in some work. Ordered the Abuelita's coffee, and though I'm not usually an oat milk fan, it was delicious! The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. Plenty of tables inside with great music! I do wish they had some quick bites like a croissant or muffin, but other than that, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Amazing food and ambience”

“Absolutely my favorite place to eat. Great atmosphere. I recommend the ribeye or the prime rib if you're a meat eater.”

“Amazing service. Very fast, no wasted food. Hard working staff”

“The most creative menu and remarkable Mexican food I have had in years. Everything was unique, obviously make with care and love. Can't wait to return. The beautiful restaurant is loaded with heart and very soulful. These folks know about feeding the heart.”

“The flavor of your food is yummy! The meats are tender & there's good amount in each taco & burrito. Tortillas are very good & fresh. Not a bad thing to say about this food truck!”

“We were immediately greeted and seated (we made reservations online in advance)... our waitress greeted us within a short period of time and took our cocktail order... I'm happy they offer my favorite wine, Austin Hope Cabernet by the glass... I've only known Ember to offer it!... My son ordered a Ni Rada? Martini that tasted how I imagine a household cleaner to taste, he reluctantly sucked it down... we didn't bother to complain but we wouldn't recommend it... he later ordered a Paper Plane Martini which he liked better... After reading other reviews, I see we didn't get the initial bread w/Ricotta offering, probably for the best since we've cut down on gluten and wanted to try a pasta dish... We started with a (not pictured) POLPETTE (large meatball) and it was moist, flavorful, & yummy... alongside PAPPARDELLE RAGU, I was hesitant about it due to not being a fan of lamb... however, it was cooked perfectly without any hint of the game flavor I dislike... my only complaint is there isn't a gluten-free pasta substitute option... It may not be Michelin standard... but it would be great to have some gluten-free Ancient Harvest pasta with any of those yummy ragu/pasta sauces available for the many people with gluten sensitivities... MARY'S 1/2 CHICKEN was flavorful and yummy with the silky mashed potatoes... and the melt-in-your-mouth OSSO BUCCO and tasty polenta did not disappoint!... The atmosphere is cozy with home-style elegance... From the initial welcoming greeting, the friendly & timely food service, the "in-tune" staff that directs you to the restroom without having to ask, the constant spotting of Nate's friendly smile as he ensures his operations are running smooth and the thanks for your patronage as you leave... our experience was pleasantly memorable... This was my 2nd visit to Nate's... the first time I had the pork chop which was flavorful, tender and simply superb... We will return!”

“We love Ziggy’s!! GREAT delicious plant-based comfort food and warm, fast, friendly service! I love the spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, the Avalon burger with arugula and Gouda, the Black Bean Taquitos, and the Avocado Tacos. Ziggy’s is absolutely awesome! Live long and prosper, Ziggy’s!”

“Had the gyro sandwich and it was delicious. Ingredients all super fresh and delicious and big portions! The guy behind the counter was really nice and gave me some ice cream on the house! I’ll definitely be bringing my friends next time…”

“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.”

“Impressive service!,food and atmosphere! THE BEST place in Atascadero to eat. I hate going out to eat (no one cooks as good as home cooking) BUT hands down great food! I loved the patio seating! Not a negative to be found. 40+ year resident and ex waitress . Thank you!!”

“Stoped by for lunch yesterday.. Sorry, but could barely find the hamburger was so thin and small it didn't cover the bun. The flavor was good, but why cut back on the meat.”

“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!!”

“Ａ friendly little coffee shop. Dessert and many breakfast burritos options are available. The coffees are always fresh and made especially on the spot for you.”

“I love, love, love Sequel. Love the staff and owner, they are all so kind. The quality of their drinks are unmatched. Boba is cooked perfectly! Let me put it to you this way….I drive all the way from Lemoore California to get this drink(90 miles). Keep up the good work!!!!”

“The best.coffee.ever. The standard of what all coffee should be measured against. Even in Italy ☕️”

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back”

“We had the best happy hour and dining experience here!!!! hidden gem for sure. Excellent craft cocktails and wines and the food was so delicious!!! We will be back very soon! 👍👍👍”
