The name does not indicate "Mexican cuisine," but the owners are Mexican American and serve authentic Mexican foods. When we were in Cambria a year ago, we finally tried Cambria Cafe. Would probably have tried it sooner had we realized we could get authentic Mexican food here. Anyhow, I had THE BEST Chili Relleno I'd ever had!Today we went for breakfast because I wanted authentic Huevos Rancheros. They were excellent!My husband ordered the scrambled eggs with ground chorizo mixed in. It came with rice, beans and tortillas. The flavor was excellent without being too spicy, and the chorizo was not at all greasy.Photos of Cambria 100 years ago adorn the walls. This is not a fancy place, but it is definitely a good place. Highly recommend it for simple casual meals and also for Mexican food.

Authentic Mexican Food, maybe, but the taste is not there! I have been eating Chile Verde since I was a little burrito eater and Chile Verde is my upmost favorite meal.. THE CHILE VERDE: The sauce was very Dark Green and thick with Tomatillos and more than generous amount of 'Cilantro'. My first bite was like I had grabbed a handful of Cilantro and Tomatillos and stuffed it in my mouth. It was not spicy so obviously no Jalapenos were added and if any other spices were added they were lost. My wife (who is an excellent Chile Verde cook) told me that Cilantro was good for my STOMACH so I should be good for a couple of years after eating that .THE 'REFRIED BEANS': "NO" they were not refried. I have cooked refried beans and those were not. It was more like only smashed beans, no flavor to them and very very bland. I had to drown them with the Chile that came with the chips and lots of salt/pepper! THE RICE: the color was there but also no taste to them.NOW THE TWO STAR RATING: WAS ONLY FOR THIER MEXICAN AMBIENCE AND A VERY NICE, HELPFUL AND ATTENTIVE WAITRESS THAT WAITED ON US..

Saw several locals eating here. Thought we would give it a try. Ordered the fish tacos which were awesome. Light flaky fish. Unbreaded so you really got the true flavors. The rice and beans were done right my daughter and I left happy. The service was good as well. Great place to stop just off the 101. South of Hearst Castle.

While the inside of this restaurant was cute....especially the "living room" area, the food was average. It was ok. Not bad. Not great. We both had burritos which were average. The wine was a good pour! We went here because we had attended a production across the street. I'm not trying to be negative but it was not a memorable meal. There are just too many other good places to eat in Cambria.

Just some nice people working the store who have lived in the area for a long time. And old school version of 7-11 or git and go before 7-11 or git and go They have some high end snacks, like fiji water, local California chips. Movie rentals, some good inexpensive wine selections and great local wines, a variety of hard booze, regular and craft beer all to go. Some incidentals and sundries - got a mini roll of duct tape. if you need them for your condo or camp or hotel. And of course gas - they had a grill and deli in the back but I did not check it out. ..... just remember you are in a small town resort area but I think its a little gem with lots of choices.
