My wife and I are always searching for the best Mexican Restaurant while traveling. Las Cambritas checked all the boxes. One of the best chili rellenos I've ever had. read more

My wife and I met longtime friends and Cambria residents here for dinner. Our first choice to meet for dinner was closed due to Mothers Day so we chose this restaurant. It did not disappoint. They were busy so service though cordial was a bit slow. The margaritas helped the situation and we each had two. They were delicious. The food was very good. Three of us ordered the green chili and my wife had the chicken fajitas. Everything was tasty and flavorful. My wife raved about her meal and the sample she gave me proved why. The guacamole was very good too. We found a new place to dine when visiting Cambria. And I definitely will be back for their fajitas. read more

3 stars: Quesabirria was great Service was good Cocktails then you looks excellent Negative stars Fish taco - frozen fish Tortillas are from plastic bags The salsa is not fresh. It seems like they used.Pace an added a couple of fresh onions in there The guacamole used fresh avocado but then they threw a couple of tomatoes on top and that was it The only reason why I'm calling this out is because from the owner's description it says that they are a "true from scratch"kitchen and they are not. read more

Every year a group of us come out to Cambria to windsurf, shop at the antique stores and buy from the amazing garden shops. We also make it a tradition to have a lunch or dinner at Las Cambritas! This year was just as good as the last 8+ years! The chips and salsa is always delicious; the food choices are abundant and tasty; of course, the margaritas are the delicious too! We had Oscar as our server and he was super attentive to our group. He and the other servers kept our chips and salsa bowls filled and took our orders in a timely manner with quick turnaround for hungry shoppers! We will be back again next year! Thanks Carlos & Las Cambritas! read more

Food was fresh and hot. Chips and salsa were tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Works good for small and large parties. The atmosphere was comfortable. Would recommend you stop by and try it. read more

Las Cambritas - Mexican Near Me - Cambria, California

I wouldn't ' t actually classify the food in this restaurant as Mexican food. At least not "authentic". The beans were tasteless along with the rice. How can you mess this up? The combo fajitas I ordered were not bad but the chicken wasn't grilled it was more like sautéed and placed on top with the shrimp. The skillet was sizzling but it was more the veggies (bell peppers, tomato's and onion) that were grilled. Also my daughter ordered carne asada and it was very tough. Poor quality of meat. But they sure charge like it was prime meat for it. They cook and owner should be ashamed to offer this to their customers. I didn't complain because I didn't want to embarrass our friends that graciously treated us. Additionally, the "mole" enchiladas my husband ordered were terrible. I've made better from the "Dona Maria" jar from the store. Overall, it's disappointing that the food isn't that great in taste or quality. This is why I don't recommend this establishment. With not many Mexican restaurants in the area they should really work on improving the quality of their dishes. I forgot to add that the supposed handmade tortillas were also not very good. But the service was decent. The staff were polite, and friendly. read more

A great spot for laid-back Mexican food in Cambria! The service was friendly and attentive, and the food hit the spot--fresh and flavorful. The highlight? Their Millionaire Margaritas. Hand Crafted and smooth. Bonus points for the full bar and relaxed atmosphere. A solid choice for a casual lunch or night out. read more

Like all restaurants in Cambria, Las Cambritas has a charming and welcoming atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. He let us choose our seat and attended to our every request! Food prep was a little long, but not the worst. The restaurant interior is simple - nothing too decorative - yet clean and cozy with a beautiful patio. There's also a lot of natural light, which adds to the sunny vibe. Our food was good! Portion sizes could've been bigger since everything was so tasty, but for the price it was acceptable. What's most important is that the food was very FRESH! My mom and I got the chicken tostada, but we each thought it was small, so we also added a chicken taco to our order. Everything was flavorful, crunchy, and zesty. It's very cold in Cambria today, so a warmer dish might have been a good idea. My mom got a mango margarita, but thought it was a little weak ... probably because she got it blended vs. on the rocks. read more

Five Stars - A Must-Visit in Cambria! We enjoyed Las Cambritas so much, we came back a second time during our trip--and we're so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fast and friendly, and they had something for everyone in our family. My wife and kids eat vegan, and I'm a meat-eater, and we all left full and happy both times. You always hear that you can only pick two out of three: fast, high-quality, and inexpensive. Las Cambritas somehow delivers all three. Whether you're plant-based or carnivorous, this spot hits the mark. Highly recommended! read more

The food was excellent. The service was really fast. I like the decor. Our server was polite and quick. It was late so we shared an enchilada meal and added 2 tacos. Yum! I like that we could hang out in a booth and eat leisurely. I would definitely come back! read more

Because the prio was closed due to rain they turned us away immediately because we had our dogs. We had dogs in stroller which they could have been a little more accommodating. read more

Service was outstanding at the start. Quick, friendly, and attentive. Slowed down a bit as the place got busy. The food was really good, and the atmosphere is charming. Definitely recommend. read more

Friendly staff, clean restaurant, but the food was mediocre at best. If you must have Mexican while in Cambria go for it but it won't be winning any Michelin stars anytime soon. read more

Our review is just from our short experience at the bar. We popped in for a quick sip while exploring the shops of Cambria. We were quickly greeted as soon as we walked in by a friendly host, but we asked to sit at the bar. Amber, the bartender was very friendly and accommodating. She made excellent Cadillac margs and the chips were yummy and hot the spot for a little crunch during our break. Thanks for a nice spot to rest our legs! Looking forward to returning for food in the near future!! read more

Food was horrible. It was just warm. For chilli rellano, the wrapped chilli in to thin omlette and put cheese and sauce on it. Asked for spicy salsa, gave me cilli oil( really chinese chilli oil?). read more

I feel bad because they were so friendly at this restaurant... but this was the worst mexican food I've ever had. I guess I'm super lucky to have some of the best living in LA for almost 10 years. I couldn't even compare this food to east coast bland Mexican food, I would've even traded for that lol. read more

Service was excellent, restaurant was so cold, everyone had on a jacket! Food was mediocre, margarita was good.

Wanted a fruit margarita and couldn't decide which fruit when the owner suggested ALL the fruits. Was by far the best margarita I've ever had. Actually had two! Oh. And the bean dip is excellent. read more

Outside patio is pleasant but I cut my finger on a cracked old resin chair. Food was not as good as it was the last five times we have been there. Far too salty. The Carnitas were just dried out pulled pork. The waitress was friendly but I had to ask her three times to bring me the drink I ordered twenty minutes before and there were no other guests in her area at that time. When another group sat down near us they complained about the flies so the waitress brought out a fly trap-the water kind-and sat it on their table then brought out a fly zapper swatter and gave to one of the guests. Yuck, don't think we will ever dine there again. read more

We recently visited Cambria for a few days. Beautiful small coastal beach town. A small variety of places to eat. All we pretty much enjoy. We decided to try one of the few Mexican restaurants. First off, the chips and salsa. I tried one chip, and nope. Dull. I find that some Mexican food places think chips don't matter. Purchase crappy cheap taste. Put out good salsa it won't matter, but it really does. Bland salsa, yucky chips, bad beginning. Invest in a better brand. Be proud of your appetizer. After that, I decided I'm not venturing in a meal here. I had a chicken tostada, and my husband had the huevos ranchero. My lettuce looked dull, not very green. Chicken was meh tasting. There was avocado. Husband said his egg was too runny. Beans were okay. We also asked for more napkins, never received. It wasn't that busy, and it was mid afternoon they were staffed well. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such a high rating or is so popular Saturday. I've had better Mexican food cheaper is fresno. But in touristy Cambria you overpriced average food and the place is still crowded. We had chile telling and carne asada lunch and didn't finish either not because it was a lot of food. We didn't eat the leftovers either. The Mexican food from the truck down the street is better and cheaper but apparently people come to cambritas to drink and they do have a nice dog friendly patio. Service is hit or miss. Our waiter was on the C team backed up by a bus lady that made up for his shortcomings errors and lack of charm. read more

Fair prices in a family atmosphere though you can order alcohol. Food was above mediocre. Not epic.

My hubby and I stopped here one evening for dinner on a Sunday. We were sat quickly on the patio with our fur baby. The staff was friendly and the food was brought out quick. We shared the birria tacos & mole enchiladas. Yummy! read more

For the 2nd year in a row, our reunion led us to dinner at Las Cambritas. Hooray and a round of applause for server extraordinaire, TANNER! She made sure all our patio heaters were on to begin with so we could cozy in to a delicious meal. My "Top Shelf Margarita" may be the best margarita I have ever had. Ever. We're a quasi-boisterous group with many folks who needed particular ingredients left off. Tanner did a great job of keeping our orders straight and checking to make sure everything arrived in a timely way. There were a couple of snafus (that happens with a large group and semi-complicated requests!), but Tanner managed any of those hiccups with grace and professionalism. She is an asset to the business and a welcome treat for a returning party. Standing ovation! read more

Their food is just ok, not good and not bad. Nothing special. We got the beef taco and my husband said the meat was skimpy. The huevos rancheros was just ok. The beans were my least favorite thing there. And I love beans. That was disappointing. Mango margarita didn't have any mango taste and was weak. Boring and basic sums it up. Service was good. They need to remove the dead flies and bugs from the window sills in the front. It's not very appetizing to look at. read more

Stacey was awesome as a server and bartender suggester. Coming from Indio Cali, we know Mexican food very well. Las Cambritas has the best flautas we've ever had. The flour tortillas were light and crispy and the proteins were very tender. The chicken tostadas were loaded with really flavorful ingredients. Get a Bakerita, a wonderful hand-shaken margarita. Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Thanks read more

My husband and I shared a combo with a carnitas taco, chicken taco and cheese enchilada, all were excellent! The Cadillac margarita was great, we will definitely be back next time we're in Cambria. read more

Great food and great service! We had the Mexican calamari which was amazing!! and the Mole enchiladas. The mole enchiladas were ok, but I actually prefer the darker, Oaxacan mole so that's probably why it wasn't my favorite. It was still good, but not my favorite. We had horchata to drink which was also delicious! read more

Not the best experience, family of 6 ate dinner there, asada was super dry on taco, my burrito was mediocre at best, couldn't hardly taste the meat that cost additional $4. Service wasn't good, empty glasses and salsa, not refilled often (wasn't even busy) Then they included a very generous tip in the check. (25%) wtf? read more

Friendly service, but...avoid...flies all over, flat beer, mediocre (at best) food, nothing worth your $.

Got the shrimp and chicken fajitas and they were a 8/10. Added grilled jalapeños for $1.50 each, but worth it. Extra tortillas (beyond the 3 it came with) were $.75 each, which seems a little pricey. The Pacifico on tap was flat and not as cold as it should've been. Service was great, no complaints there. The atmosphere was not so good. It was dark and it seemed a little dirty (which may explain the lighting). All-in-all I would still recommend this place if you're set on a Mexican sit down restaurant. read more

Had lunch here and it was a great experience, cute little restaurant on the main drag . service is just ok but the food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. The millionaire margaritas were outstanding. We had the carnitas plate and the chili relleno both plates with large delicious potions, prices were very reasonable low $20 for entrees drinks about $13. And plenty strong and tasty. If you are in cambria give this place a shot read more

We stopped in during our annual visit to Cambria to try this place for the first time, craving Mexican food. We were not disappointed. The service was quick and the food was great. And, we greatly appreciated a variety of vegetarian-friendly options. read more

Super rude service, although the location was beautiful. Staff was inpatient and didn't take time to acknowledge customers.

3.5 but I'm rounding up. Came in during lunch on a weekend trip up to Cambria. This was in a great location on Main Street. They had a tented patio in the back, I definitely appreciated the shade. They were also doing limited indoor seating. My friends and I ordered: -taquitos (good) -elote (good) -birria (ok) -tostada (ok) -churros (good) Had a few beers and cocktails too. The cocktails were tasty. Prices are reasonable and portions were good too. Service was great, friendly staff in masks. There's street parking but also some parking lots within a few blocks. This is a good spot to grab a bite or a few drinks while in Cambria. read more

We got to Cambria pretty late (7pm). Mostly everything is closed by 6:30 or 8pm. My family and I were starving after driving all day! Las Cambritas came through! They were open until 9pm. They welcomed us and our puppy. They seated and served us right away. They had excellent service. Their food was just amazing after that long drive. We went back the next morning for breakfast burritos! read more
