It is very dirty and on top of that he scams you with the insane marked up prices. I brought my kids here to get icees. The machine rarely works but we went to see. There's never any sign so the only way to tell is to squirt a bit out. My kids got cups, and once noticing it was liquid threw the cups away. There was only about a quarter cup of icee in the cups. The owner proceeded to yell at them, call us thieves and said they were banned. I asked what they stole and he scolded them, saying he saw them throw away cups on the cameras. I apologized but then explained it was because the icee was just liquid (no sign saying it wasn't working either) and once they noticed, they threw away the cups in the trash. There was only about a 1/4 cup (if not less) of liquid in both cups that had been thrown away. They didn't put the cups back because they had liquid/residue in them and it would have just dumped on top of the other cups and an unsuspecting customer would get a dirty cup. I asked what we would possibly get out of throwing cups away but he wouldn't listen. He proceeded to yell and scold them when they said they didn't steal anything and he screamed that they were never allowed back. We walked out in the middle of the owner's tantrum because the conversation was clearly not going anywhere. I've spent lots of money at this place over the years, on gas and food despite its jacked up prices and the owners terrible customer service prior to this experience. Not to mention how dirty and unsanitary the place is. This final experience was the nail in the coffin and I will never return. I encourage others to not give them their business either. This has been posted online so that others know what kind of person runs the establishment.

But as a person that's never asked for the restroom and is there almost every day for gas and more, they denied me to use the bathroom.

Anyway, I walked in, turned the corner, and almost immediately I spied the local wine, among a whole bunch of other local wines at decent prices. So, I talk to one the young fellows who work their & I placed an order for two cases... I was afraid that it would be discontinued.... but now, several months later I still see it there and now at Haggen. It is kind of cramped in there, and the first time I went there & turned around, I accidently knocked a bottle that was randomly sit on a box along side a windex bottle. I felt like an idiot bull in a china shop. Anyway, the owners were very cool, and they apologized...which was gracious. I was like holy crap, I am so sorry...but it only a White Wine anyway :) In this cramped space they somehow manage to pack lots of local wines, but you really need to look up, down, & bend down to see all of the selection. They also have an extensive beer selection, but few imports. Behind the counter they have the usual harder stuff & have some good vodkas. It could be that you can find something here rather than at Haggen, Von's, or Cal Fresh. Anyway, sometimes you can find gems in dirt! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Someone reviewed this place slipped up in regards of sanitary practices , but tell me which restaurant from morro bay to santa Barbara hasn't slipped up before? I don't like the idea of bad practice... but I know every joint doesn't adhere 100% to standards. Wish they did but overall... never had a bad meal at l&k or a weird feeling. The bad review praised/suggested la pico sita which is basically the best Mexican food in santa maria. Agreed. But, even la pico is questionable in standards. Best Mexican food is from mothers, grandmothers and aunts. And I promise you their methods aren't 100% sanitary. Even horrible national chain Chipotle failed with their "standards" ... I'll take love and respect over defrosting meat next to dirty dishes in the end game results. I say that with a grain of salt. I would prefer best practice, but when it comes to food, Mexican food specifically... there is a gray area. No one wants to get sick because of bad practices. But... ive thoroughly vetted l&k this week... and they were consistently on point. Felt good after each meal, like I walked out of fine sushi joint. As far as im concerned... l&k is to liquor/market/burritos as Swiss/shaws is to steak house . All are santa maria . Real/raw/staples Unless you have an immune disorder snowflake... enjoy it. Its good.

I love coming here whenever I get the chance--the ambiance and atmosphere make it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food is excellent. Their take on pho soup is especially well executed and has quickly become one of my favorite dishes. The flavors are balanced and authentic, and you can really tell the care that goes into preparing it. Coming from Los Angeles, where great pho is easy to find, it's refreshing to be able to enjoy a bowl on the Central Coast that's made properly and with such attention to flavor. Thai Villa has definitely become one of my go-to spots.

At times slight delays in service but there appeared to be maybe 3 total people working? It wasn't a huge wait though so no complaints. Fried tofu- for me this was a 2? Cooked well but so bland. The sauce was great so maybe tofu is meant to be sauced only? Without the sauce it just tasted like water and batter. Bbq chicken noodle curry- one of the specialty dishes and boy did it deliver! Very tender chicken, amazing depth of flavor and nice portion. Easily 2 meals in one for me so the price made sense. I think some people might think it's pricey but I think it's spot on based on the ingredients, the flavor and the portions. I did try my friends spring roll and it also was amazing! If you're in nipomo or wanting some great Thai food, stop by and show them some love! Ps-they only do cash or Venmo so be prepared!
