    Martins, Cayucos, Cali
    Lance L.

    Have you ever been so hungry, but no matter how hard you tried... You just couldn't decide on what you wanted to eat? On one hand, a nice bowl of pasta bolognese accompanied by a glass of Chianti sounds absolutely amazing. On the other hand, a pair of carne asada tacos, rice, beans alongside a Dos Equis Cerveza sounds just as equally good. ME: (Weighing my options) Is Italian greater than Mexican Or Is Mexican greater than Italian Well.... I'm no math genius, but I'm pretty sure that after this review is all summed up... The answer will present itself! While visiting the quaint little town of Cayucos, we decided to check out Martin's restaurant. Not only do they have ITALIAN on the menu (Mama Mia!!!) But they also have MEXICAN on the menu too!! (Arriba, Arriba!!) Looks like I'm having a glass of Chianti with a chaser of Dos Equis!! ;) That's right! The best of both worlds!! Pizza! Tacos! Ravioli! Burritos! Chicken Parmigiana! Enchiladas! Linguini & Clams! Tamales! Chicken Marsala! Chile Rellenos! And If you still can't decide.... Go AMERICAN and get yourself a burger!!! All I know is.... Next time I'm comin' for breakfast!! As for night we went... Their pizza hit the spot! Their Tacos made me happy!! And their Dos Equis served in a Modelo Glass was just what I needed! Lol Until Next time... Well Done Martin, Bravo!! Ciao. Adiós. Take it Easy.

    Don't ask these idiots for a combination pizza or you will end up with an all topping pizza that includes pineapple and tomato with no sausage. This could be the worst looking pizza I have ever seen. We typically enjoy Martin's but this is a particularly bad experience.

    Just wanted to hop on here to compliment Martin's pizza. Have been coming here for years for their mexican food (enchiladas!!). But had a pizza craving and didn't want to order from large chain, and local pizzeria was already closed for the evening... so gave Martin's a try. Food-Delish! Thin crust and fresh toppings all the way to the edge, Yes! Service - always great Ambiance -warm and inviting family restaurant with booths by windows and tables in the middle. Street parking.

    2 Beef Enchilidas

    Ordered Beef Enchiladas and New York Steak Tampicado. Best Authentic Mexican food around. The portions are huge and plates come with beans, rice, and chicken tortilla. Chips and salsa and refillable! Customer service is amazing and the owner Martin is passionate about every dish. They also have Italian dinner options that are fantastic with great flavors. They just remodeled the interior and it's beautiful!

    We had a great Mexican food meal and great service. Everything about our dinner there was so enjoyable. The margaritas too :) Will definitely go back if we are in the area again!

    Visiting beautiful Cayucos, CA for a few days and we came across this beautiful family owned and operated restaurant. We walked in, got greeted and seated right away. The food was so delicious and the service was great! We were celebrating our sons 13th birthday and they went a little their way to provide him a slice of cake and even sang happy birthday to him with the rest of the kitchen crew! Thank you so much for great service and for making us feel so welcomed! I'm leaving cayucos city very happy! Check out this place! You won't be disappointed!!!!!!!

    We tried the Mexican breakfast during Covid and thought that it was good. We went back this time during a vacation thinking it would be good and we could choose various options. I asked the Hispanic server which was better, Mexican or Italian. She said Italian. I ignored her and ordered a combo plate. It was good, but not great. The rest of the family listened to her and everything they ordered they loved. My wife thought that the linguini and clams was some of the best she had ever had while my son loved his meat lasagna (and ordered it two nights in a row). We liked it so much that we returned then next night where I got chicken parmigiana. The portion sizes are huge so we took some home to Clovis and heated it up the next night. Guess that means that technically we ate there three nights in a row. Go try the Italian!!!

    There were great reviews here on Yelp so I was excited to pickup our pizza. So disappointed. The crust is bland and soggy.

The service is pretty slow, but it's that laid back beach vibe. For the food, I ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl and Ahi Tacos. My wife ordered fish and chips and a cup of clam chowder. We both thought the clam chowder was awful. Needed to be cooked down more, more seasoning, to build the depth of flavor. The fries and fish were good. Both seasoned well and fried nicely. The Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious! The AHI TACOS WERE THE BEST FISH TACOS I'VE EVER HAD! Beautifully seared, to a crust that had almost a bacon taste. The sauces brought vinegar, fatty, smokiness. The cabbage used for crunch and refreshing bite. Just awesome! *We'll be back for the Tacos and Fish & Chips*

The service was fast and efficient, and they bring the food right to your table, which makes it super easy and enjoyable. We went on a Monday at lunchtime, and there were plenty of seats both inside and outside. I can only imagine how busy it gets on weekends, because this is definitely the kind of place you want to keep coming back to -- great food in a laid-back setting. Now, the food... SO good. I started with Louise's salad with crab meat, which was fresh and delicious. But then I saw my husband's crab melt sandwich and immediately had to order one for myself -- and I'm so glad I did! It was generously loaded with crab, topped with avocado and melted cheese, and tasted incredibly fresh. Honestly, everything was so good that I guess I just wanted both the salad and the sandwich Highly recommend this spot if you're in Morro Bay -- especially if you love fresh crab!

I ordered the crab sandwich with avocado and cheddar cheese on sourdough bread and took it to go. The sandwich was good. I've had better crab sandwiches, but they were at crab shacks with fresh crab. I don't think this crab was that fresh but rather from a supplier. The sourdough bread was very good and the cheddar cheese was fine. I would order something different If I went back... I think I would try the fish and chips or the shrimp bowl.
