    Hangar Steak
    Susie K.

    I came in to eat with an old friend on Thursday. It was relatively pretty slow around 6PM and it started ramping up at around 7. The server was really friendly and helped me choose a really tasty cocktail! I rarely eat steak, but I thoroughly enjoyed my Hangar Steak!! I couldn't finish it all and took it to work the next day. It's pretty spacious inside. It kinda just looks like a better Blast. Can't wait to come back!

    Enchiladas blancas and hanger steak
    Stephany R A.

    The mock tail saved the night(watermelon cucumber), but we got the enchilada blanco and hanger steak were okay.. enchiladas had an interesting flavor maybe too much cumin in the salas verde ? Definitely not salsa verde im use to. And the hanger steak was a bit dry. But the mock tail was amazing

    Asada flatbread
    Neville S.

    Got it -- here's a more casual, friendly, and slightly longer version you could post as a review: Beso Cocina in Nipomo is hands down one of the best food spots I've been to in a while! Everything we ordered was incredible. The asada flatbread was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of flavor in every bite. The chimichanga was stuffed full of fresh, tasty ingredients and so satisfying. And the shrimp enchiladas...wow. It was my first time ever trying shrimp enchiladas, and they completely blew me away--loaded with shrimp and covered in a sauce that tied it all together perfectly. On top of the amazing food, the vibe was warm and welcoming, and you can really tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into what they serve. This place is definitely a must-try if you're in the area. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu! Ambiance was quiet in the beginning, but got quite busy later in the evening (on a week night). The waitress flew solo and she did well to manage all 10 tables by herself.

    They even make their own beers which my husband loved. And this is their cucumber, jalapeño margarita, rimmed with salt and hibiscus flower.

    We had finished golfing at Monarch Dunes and was heading to Pismo for the night. We passed by Beso Cocina and it was very inviting and so we thought we would check it out. We got there early, it was about 5 o'clock so we had the place to ourselves. We sat in the bar area and Evan waited on us, he was wonderful! They have bar specials during the weeknights and a really great menu to choose from. I had the chili Verde and it was amazing! My husband had the fish and chips. They tasted good and he loved that it came with a salad as well as fries, but the batter was a little thicker than he liked. My favorite thing, however, was the spicy cucumber jalapeño margarita! So good! Both of them : ) The chips and salsa they bring you before your meal are excellent, all freshly made. I texted a local friend while we were there and she said ask them about the secret speakeasy. I guess it only happens on the weekends so it's something we definitely wanna check out in the future. Anyway, I highly highly recommend this restaurant.

    Poke taco
    Alfred S.

    We got inside and out was pretty nice. Clean and spacious our server was ok, not too friendly but at the same time not rude. I think of we had better service and more personable it would've made the visit that much better. The appetizers were really good, we ordered several of them. The queso dip, jalapeño poppers, and poke tacos. No complaints there. However once we got our main course over half of the table got steaks and every single steak came out medium well to well done. Specially since most of us ordered it medium rare. I let our server know and he brought it back and got me a new one. The next one came out rare, I'm guessing to avoid over cooking it. I kept my mouth shut this time and just ate it. Better more rare than over cooked. The one plus is they have a hidden bar through a cabinet. If you ask they'll escort you back there. Unfortunately by the time we were done eating they were already closing up so we couldn't try any of the drinks. They have a separate menu than the restaurant. If you want to come for appetizers and drinks I recommend coming here. If you want steak this is not the place to go. Hence my 3 star rating. I expect better for the price.

    Enchiladas and Chimichanga.

    10 out of 10- Excellent customer service, food is delicious, Ambiance is perfect for all occasions. The manager has a great personality and cares about his customers.

    Sea bass was very good and a nice portion however presentation could have been more updated

    Chipotle Shrimp
    Trina P.

    Dogs allowed on patio. Yay! Oh... now for the food. Delicious. Nice, classy ambiance. Excellent service. We went with appetizers only for this initial Beso outing. Corn Ribs (similar to elote) with Beso's tasty chipotle sauce, Barbacoa Tacos, and Chipotle Shrimp. Beverage selected was the Raspberry Basil mocktail. They have comedy, karaoke and music events. Fun, large alcohol selection bar inside if you like to drink/bar scene. Large screen TV. Really clean and modern in appearance inside and outside. Very friendly and attentive service. The hostess suggested menu items for us that didn't disappoint. Plenty of parking. Outdoor heaters, outdoor oven, & fireplace. Check out Beso Cocina!

    Outdoor Patio Seating

    There was plenty of food! Portions were generous and delicious. Food was good. The pork in the enchilada and the sandwich were really tender. Chips and salsa were good. The truffle fries needed more "truffle" flavor for $12, barely tasted it on a few of the fries. The service was friendly and welcoming. The location is cute. Choice of Indoor and covered Outdoor patio seating available. Music played outside too.

    Corn ribs, so fun for a vegetarian to act like a Neanderthal!  :)

    Being from San Francisco, we thought this place was really creative with its recipes and menu, it was such a fun dining experience, unlike most restaurants on the Central Coast. Highly recommended!

    Nice for a quick drink or staff party. Staff works hard to make you comfortable. The strawberry shortcake was epic!!

    Is anyone outraged that they charge $6 for (usually free) chips and salsa?

    Chips and Salsa??? Where's the salsa? Just two 1oz cups to serve 4 people?
