    Incredible stop on the 1 -- michelada + good food. We split an asada burrito for a mid day snack. 10/10 would stop again.

    Ambiance is so good love the short and fat palm tree in the outdoor seating area, very good carne asada California burrito, service is quick and fast and is in a great location for a post surf meal.

    Muy buen servicio al Cliente la muchacha muy amable , buena Comida un buen ambiente y limpio

    Bag chips- not made from scratch! Should be illegal!

    If you walk into a Mexican restaurant & the chips clearly come from a bag -you should probably just turn around & leave! Didn't take my own advice & regretted it. Got a chili Verde burrito that had literally no flavor. Even the salsa & side sauces were bland! Sad experience!

    Yes please!... Absolutely delicious and authentic Mexican food. While driving the West Coast on Highway 1 this is the perfect spot to stop for a bite. The service was given with attention and quick service. My family of 8 decided to dine in and it was a great ambiance... let me tell you, I was blown away with the michelada, it was DELICIOUS!... I highly recommend it. It was well done!... I am so pleased with the stop!... Enjoy!.

    I wasn't too sure about this place so I ordered one fish taco. The gentleman even looked at me weird I don't even know why maybe I'm not even that hungry but anyways I ordered took about 10 minutes for a taco, even though I was literally the only one at the restaurant. Then someone else comes in after me orders and the gentleman brings them chips and don't bring me none right in front of my face. Overall ambience is pretty cool one through five the taco I give it a two the sauces forget it it seems like they've been in the fridge for weeks. Never coming back again for sure.

    We went here after relaxing at Shark Fin Cove, not too far at all from the restaurant. The restaurant is small and cute with lots of outdoor seating. The restroom was clean. The food was the star of the show, as it should be. I got quesabirria tacos, my siblings got carne asada burritos, husband got al pastor tacos. Everything was SHMACKIN!!!! lol. Even the horchata, and chips and salsa were flavorful. Their customer service was great also. They got my husband's taco order wrong and when they realized it, they gave us extra tacos to make up for it. Would come back here without hesitation when I'm in the area again.

    Carne asada and Pastor - sooooo good!!!

    This place is amazing, tacos are so good. Homemade salsa etc. The Birria is excellent, the Asada is different in a good way. This is our 2nd time here and we sure will be back.

They got me at chilaquiles. So hard to pass them up on a menu. I was a little disappointed when I got my plate, however, mostly because the serving size of the star of the dish, the chilaquiles, seemed small for this dish. They come with a "side" of beans, which I expected to be in its own bowl, but they were not, and took up most of the plate. No big deal. And they were very good. As were the chilaquiles. Tart and not-to-spicy green sauce that covered the thick and crispy-soft tortilla chips. The eggs were perfectly cooked over-easy and I popped one right on top of the chips so the yolk would spill down. I was happy despite the size. W ordered the portabello sandwich, which comes with blue cheese. He expected it to be served on their home-baked bread, but it was served on a soft brioche bun (the menu is unclear on this point). He didn't like the sandwich at all. Said it tasted like it was basted in butter. Since he had only a couple of bites, I swapped with him so he'd have enough food. I thought the sandwich was good, but think the blue cheese was a bit strong. Maybe that's why he didn't like it. The side salad was nothing to write home about, and seemed like they used bottled balsamic vinaigrette. It had the thick texture from a bottle. Service was just ok. Barely got a smile out of our server. So, knocked a star off for that. And average meal, knocked another star. Ambiance is nice. If I were only reviewing the baked goods, five stars!

    The restaurant is set in a semi-residential area within a converted house. The interior is cozy,…read moreCLEAN, and comfortable. The exterior has been renovated recently to not only expand seating (because of local popularity), but also allow for a semi-enclosed patio area, with heat lamps galore, and a tent drape to change the space as needed. I most recently ate here on Valentine's Day (2026). It was a busy night, but the service was (and has been consistently) excellent. The drinks are delicious, and since it was a busy night, my spouse & I doubled up on our drink orders to reduce wait time later. #protip #yourwelcome. The vibe is chill, and you need not be in a hurry while enjoying time at Aroma. We had calamari (YUM-so fresh) & coconut shrimp (always order 2- because YUM). For mains, we ordered the lasagna and salmon. We shared and had no regrets. The pasta options here are so hard to choose - I want all of them. The short rib tortellini are SO GOOD. We ordered dessert to go (cheesecake & chocolate mousse cake). On the evening, there was live music, which was very enjoyable. There isn't exactly space to dance out of the way of the service staff, but that doesn't stop the locals.

Ordered that fajitas and they don't give you enough tortilla to finish the meal. When I asked for more server gave an annoyed look and said well that's an extra charge, Took 15 min to finally cash out and the husband was late getting back to work. We paid cash and she seemed annoyed when j said I needed change. Like what expect when I hand you $80 on a $55 bill?? Then the icing on the cake heard her berate an elderly patron sitting next to me when she complained she didn't realize the taco she ordered was so small.Her exact word "Well what do you expect for $5". Completely rude server and false advertising on the menu options.
