    First time here!! A good Mexican burrito sounded like the perfect pre Dodger game fix. The place appeared to be clean with some regulars seated and enjoying their late lunch. Good signs so I decided to place my order. I ordered the burrito grande with no rice and no sour cream. I've never been a fan of either item. Made sure to confirm twice with the gal. Food was ready in a decent amount of time and I was on my way back to work, walking distance. With GREAT sadness I was met with what seemed like EXTRA rice. A true bummer. Was hoping this would be my go to place. In addition to finding some mystery pieces I will not be dining here again. For $25(18.99 burrito+tip) NOT WORTH IT. Will continue my search elsewhere.

    Pictures shows you the fajitas coming right off fresh and hot. Very nice atmosphere and great service. Food had good flavor and reasonably priced. Definitely would go again.

    How is so perfect?

    We drive over an hour and a half to eat here but it's so worth it. My family loves Mexican food and this one is one we drive a little extra for every once and awhile. My boyfriend can not get over how crispy the edges of the chicken tacos are. He talks about it often... My favorite is the fried cheese cake desert. There is a big parking lot which is often well filled and plenty of street parking. You probably should bring a coat since there is indoor/ outdoor seating and sometimes its a Little cold.

    Bestie and I had dinner @ Las Cazuelas here in Nipomo for our first time and maybe not our last. We enjoyed our cocktails and the service we received from servers. We went on a BUSY Friday afternoon but waited less than 10 minutes. My friend had chile rellanos and I had some chicken enchiladas. I was a lil disappointed with my plate, they weren't authentic (my opinion). I will come back to try more cocktails they had on their menu. The restaurant gives you nice cantina vibes.

    The entrance

    The service is horrible. We weren't ready to order drinks the waiter came back a couple times. We were told this is a tequila bar. The waiter brought a tequila menu tossed it on the table and walked away. Never came back. We flagged another waiter for water We waited for over 25 minutes for someone to take our order. The food was okay I guess. I wouldn't wait for this place again

    SCRUMPTIOUS CHICKEN FAJITAS!!

    The ***FINEST MEXICAN FOOD*** around! Absolutely! LAS CAZUELAS IS THE BEST!!! Anyone on the California Central Coast should consider themselves very fortunate to have Las Cazuelas in their vicinity. We moved from the region and find ourselves truly lost from the DELECTABLE PLEASURES served up by LAS CAZUELAS. Las Cazuelas offers the FINEST MEXICAN CUISINE!!! ***** LAS CAZUELAS ***** ***SURPASSES 5 STARS *** EXCELLENT Mexican Cuisine! EXCELLENT Service! EXCELLENT Salsa! EXCELLENT Margaritas! SUPERIOR FRESHNESS to all the ingredients! An added BONUS: Las Cazuelas is ALWAYS CLEAN! Our sincere gratitude to the GENIUS CULINARY CULTURAL MASTER CHEF for putting his heart and soul into the menu items! We will forever miss your beautiful sauces! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND anything and everything on the menu! If only all Mexican restaurants offered the same high standards ... as with our new home vicinity there are three Mexican restaurants and at best barely earn 1 & 2 stars, thus creating a void of fine Mexican food. We both agree, the #1 thing we miss about the California Central Coast is Las Cazuelas!!!! THANK YOU LAS CAZUELAS for all the dining pleasure you have shared with us. Thank you for the privilege! We dearly miss Las Cazuelas! ***********************************

We loved the tortillas and butter you previously served, but the freshly fried tortilla chips, fresh homemade salsa and sauces were delightful and a much appreciated prelude to our lovely meal.

Can I please just say one more time, get rid of this horrific noise. We love the DJ in the speakeasy! So cool, and great music in there. Even if we are not completely vibing with it, it's curated and inoffensive. Can I say, what a joy to have Beso in our neighborhood. We love this place (just NOT this 'music'). We come in for breakfast/brunch or dinner and the music is so annoying/uncomfortable/noxious, that we leave before ordering desert, etc. would hang out longer, would be in more frequently if not for that one big adversity. It takes a month or more to extinct the unpleasantness of the 'music' , we come in and there it is, all over again and we are reminded of why we don't visit more. Please fix this!!

Service is really meh, had to ask for more water a couple times, and asked for a straw various times from different people and never ended up getting one from anyone. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, steak bites and the shrimp which were all very bland. When we asked the server what kind of cut the steak was, he said it was "just steak" and looked annoyed (or utterly confused, who could really tell). We ordered one of the cocktails and it was fine but also had no flavor. We ordered a few pizzas as our entrees and they were similarly very bland, and tasted like cheap take-out pizza. Again, would not recommend this restaurant to my friends or family.

There's also a full bar where you can order local brews, plus a self‑serve condiment bar to customize your meal. The staff was friendly and quick to bring out our food. Seating is plentiful both indoors and outside, with umbrellas for shade. Parking is easy, with spots on the street and in the lot next door. The architecture and décor give the whole place a charming old‑Spanish feel. The food was incredible and will definitely bring us back. The Emmit BBQ Bacon Burger was our favorite. The thick bacon was cooked perfectly, and the onion ring added a great crunch. The patty was cooked medium‑well and packed with flavor. This is one of the best burgers we've ever had. The tri‑tip sandwich was also great. We loved its simplicity and the moist, tender meat with very little fat. The locally made bun really elevated it. They serve BBQ sauce on the side, which paired nicely with the tri‑tip. The 50/50 basket is huge--we didn't expect so much food, but we weren't complaining. The onion rings were excellent. This will be a must‑stop on every trip down to SoCal from now on.

    For our leisurely drive from San Diego to San Francisco, my wife had plotted several stops of…read morecities she thought would be fun places to stop to break up our almost 8 hour drive. My wife is an amazing trip planner and she chose stops in Santa Barbara, Solvang, Santa Maria, Carmel, and Monterey. I'm a foodie and once my life pahtner told me about Santa Maria being known for their style of BBQ, I was looking forward to our stop in Santa Maria and grubbing on Santa Maria style BBQ. After checking the different BBQ restaurants on Yelp and factoring in our timeline, I selected Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ as the joint that we would experience Santa Maria BBQ. Tri-tip BBQ is the preferred meat choice, but Rancho Nipomo's version was okay and tasty. I enjoyed their chicken BBQ chicken and their chili beans were extremely memorable. Eating inside the restaurant was a little frustrating, but the customer service from their staff was much appreciated. Rancho Nipomo is located on the 101 freeway specifically off of Exit 175 and on Cuyama Lane. It's a short distance from the exit off of the 101, so this restaurant is a convenient stop if you're pressed for time. There were other BBQ restaurants in Santa Maria, but the other restaurants didn't open until 4pm and we didn't have the luxury of waiting around. Rancho Nipomo is located across from 805 Barbecue Brand restaurant and it's diagonal from Taqueria Los Quates. There is some parking in front of the restaurant, but it's mainly street parking. Rancho Nipomo is a spacious restaurant with plenty of indoor seating and there's plenty of covered umbrella outdoor seating. We ate inside and had to battle disruptive flies, so I recommend you eat outside. I recommend that management keep their doors closed to keep these pests out. There are large screen televisions to watch sports and there was a stage where bands play music on certain days. I liked the decor inside with a mural of Mexican cowboys, the California Republic homage above the tvs, the faux Gold Rush saloon as the backdrop of the stage, the Indian statues, and the decorative old school chandelier. The young lady behind the register provided exemplary customer service, other staff I interacted with were friendly, and I love that they honor Veterans like me with a free fountain drink. Besides Santa Maria-style BBQ, Rancho Nipomo serves Mexican food that incorporates BBQ; it serves burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs; it serves munchies; it serves salads, and you can satisfy your sweet tooth with their desserts. I honestly did not know the city of Santa Maria had their own style of BBQ, so I was really looking forward to tasting what that style of BBQ tastes like. After perusing their menu, I decided to order their Central Coast Smokin' Combo because it had two different types of meats. This combo comes with a 1/4 BBQ Chicken, 1/2 lb Smoked Tri-Tip, Spanish Rice, West Coast Chili Beans, and two flour tortillas. It was a good amount of food because I had part of my chicken and tri-tip as leftovers, which was a yummy late night snack on our trip. I was looking forward to eating the tri-tip, but even though it ate well with the tortillas, I thought it was dry and underwhelming. The highlights for me were the chicken, the chili beans, and the rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was tender, seasoned really well, and it tasted great by itself or in a tortilla. The chili beans were mind blowing, savory, addicting, and I wished there was more. Combining either BBQ meat with the chili beans and rice inside a tortilla made for a delectable bite. Make sure to grab all of their complimentary salsas to add some spice to your BBQ. My wife ordered The Cali Cheese Steak Sandwich, which comes with smoked tri-tip ends, Monterey Jack cheese, bell peppers, and grilled onion all encompassed in a fresh toasted Telera bun. Sincerely, one of the best cheese steak sandwiches I've ever eaten and I didn't eat it until I had it as a late night snack. We also ordered their fries, which were seasoned and delicious. Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ is a must visit if you want to indulge in Santa Maria-style BBQ. Their tri-tip was okay, but I highly recommend their BBQ chicken and their West Coast chili beans. If you're planning to order a sandwich, a Must Order is their Cali Cheese Steak sandwich.

My wife and I went to El Tapatio for lunch in 2023, but hadn't returned until another couple said they'd like to try it. So we went back on a Thursday around noon. Ratings..... - Overall: 5 - Location: 4 - Exterior: 5 - Ambiance: 4 - Menu: 5 - Food Quality: 5 - Food Portion: 5 - Service: 5...unless you're stuck behind a large group - Price and Value: 5 - Parking: 4 - Bathroom: N/A Pros: - Location: Very good for people between Arroyo Grande and Santa Maria. On Highway 1...the main street in the small downtown of Guadalupe. Only 5 minutes from our house in Trilogy at the south end of Nipomo. - Menu: Large. Something for everyone with a bias toward authentic Mexican dishes. - Exterior: Colorful. The bright colors catch your eye from the street. - Ambiance: Casual and colorful. It's fairly small, but comfortable and homey. - Food: Everyone was happy. I and the husband in the other couple had a #44 - Spicy shrimp with rice and beans ($25.50). I like spicy, but it was a notch or 2 higher. My dish gave new meaning to the word "mouthwatering". Maybe I'm more of a "regular guy" these days. Our friend with the same entree literally cleaned his plate. Our server said "I've never seen anyone do that". He probably blew a hole in his butt. My wife had a Chile Relleno ($20) and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure about the order from the wife of the guy with a cast iron stomach. - Service: Great when it was our turn. We arrived a few minutes after a group of 15. Since the only person in the kitchen was the owner, he was naturally just able to make 1 or 2 dishes at a time. It took 45 minutes for the big table to be served...then we got our food during the next 10-15 minutes. The employees we met were friendly and helpful. While we waited, they did keep us well stocked with tortilla chips which were homemade and warm. - Price and Value: Good portions of tasty food at a fair price. - Parking: No problem. On the street either in front or around the corner. - Bathroom: We didn't try it. El Tapatio is a great choice for authentic Mexican food, but remember 2 things. It's only open 11 AM to 4 PM and they'll be a looooong wait for food if lots of people arrive just before you do.

Sparkling clean and full of light, we were greeted by a friendly smile and digital menu boards with photos of the food. Order at the counter with plenty of indoor seating (low tops and high tops). We had the #7 Mole plate (a large chicken leg and a thigh), $18.99, served with creamy refried beans, fluffy rice, and beautiful fresh corn tortillas. The mole sauce was earthy and very dark, not sweet at all -- which was a new version for me. This looks to be proper for the Oaxaca region, where chocolate and raisin are used sparingly for bitterness and savory depth, so I was glad to try a new region's mole. Tortillas were perfect, fresh and light. Beans and rice were excellent. We also ordered the #6 Quesabirria tacos plate ($14.59), with a bowl of dipping consomé big enough to have some left to eat with your spoon. Heaven. Crispy, cheese between the consume-soaked and grilled soft corn tortillas, and fall-off-tender beef with a sprinkling of onion and chopped cilantro. No notes! Dreamy. A half-liter bottle of Mexican (real cane sugar) Coke was a worthwhile splurge at $4.50. Fresh chilled salsas at the counter, you also got a basket of perfectly crisp miga chips (more dense and substantial than average tortilla chips - I usually see them with Chilaquiles) and house salsa roja free at the table. Several flavors of Aqua Fresca were on display as well as a dessert case (empty on the Monday afternoon we visited except for the "Chocoflan" in the refrigerator case), plus a counterside fridge with a big assortment of Mexican soft drinks.
