The Old Town Mexican Cafe was a nice surprise. Quaint very clean and comfortable is how I'd describe it. Oh yes, and with amazing food. The main cook Pedro, was an artist at preparation and efficiency. His food was delicious and portions were large. The manager Desiree couldn't have been nicer and more helpful during my shoot. She runs the operation and you can tell she knows what she is doing. Also helpful and pleasant was Terry her #2. Located in Orcutt, a suburb just south of Santa Maria, if you're traveling or around the Santa Maria area be sure to stop in for a meal you won't forget. They open around 9am and it's street level, easy access and kid friendly. Plenty of parking too. Don't forget to get slice of Desiree's home made Flan. It's the best I've ever tasted. I'd go out of my way just for that amazing Flan. Stop in at The Old Town Mexican Cafe, you'll thank me.

He liked them both but again, the salsa topping didn't help the flavor profile. This is a one and done for us.

After circling around I decided to drive the other direction, and found myself back on Broadway but north of Main, and found Angeles de Puebla food truck. And what a find! Homemade tortillas. Well seasoned and cooked carne asada. The flautas are crispy deliciousness. And the rice and beans were perfect. You know you found a good spot when the rice and beans are as good if not better than homemade. Yum! Still like taco Sinaloa but I think I may have found my new favorite food truck Last but not least, the two people running the truck tonight were very nice and accommodating.

When we paid it was a specific total, and when the charge came in later on our card it was about $10 more than what it had been. It is not okay to add your idea of gratuity to the bill. We wondered why it always looked so lonely when we passed by everytime, and why it was very lonely inside. Unfortunately now we know.

While the chicken tamales were good, our experience with the chile relleno was beyond disappointing. While eating, we found two long brown hairs in two separate tamales from that dozen. We were so disgusted that we had to throw the entire dozen away. For several days, we felt sick just thinking about it. These tamales are quite expensive, and for that price, you expect basic food safety and hygiene protocols to be followed. Finding someone's hair in your mouth is unacceptable. I really hope the business looks into their kitchen protocols, as we will not be returning.

Pappy's Restaurant

It was tender, flavorful, and actually looked like it came from a cow instead of a lab experiment. The eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them, which shouldn't be noteworthy but somehow is these days. The hashbrowns were crispy, well-cooked, and managed the rare feat of not doubling as a sponge for a gallon of fryer oil. The only hiccup was our server, who apparently had an active restraining order against our table. Drink refills and check-ins were few and far between. Thankfully, the rest of the staff noticed we had been abandoned and jumped in to save the day. They kept the coffee flowing and made sure we had everything we needed. In the end, the food was excellent, the rest of the staff picked up the slack, and I left full, happy, and already thinking about what I'll order next time. If breakfast for dinner is your thing, Pappy's 101 is worth the trip.

I don't know her name but she was a taller Hispanic lady who just didn't enjoy her job at all. So that immediately through the vibe off Once the food came out the guacamole on my Huevos Rancheros was dark green so it was very old guacamole on there, the entire plate looked like mush and it was very watery and runny. My wife's pancakes were horrible, the cooks for some odd ball reason must've been lazy or on a shortage of brain cells cause they stacked the pancakes with the bacon strips in the middle (bacon was chewy and seemed re heated in the microwave) and then finally they put the soggy eggs on the very top of the pancakes so the entire experience was horrible If I could leave no stars I would. I wish I could get my $40 back because that food wasn't even worth $10 This place used to be so good and now it's gone downhill bad.
