We had great strawberry margaritas. We had a great time watching the sun go down sitting outside. The food was very, very good. The service was really great. It is very dog friendly. And they put up with us laughing and having a great time. I want to say thank you to the staff and the experience.
A quiet little restaurant in the heart of San Simeon which serves authentic and pretty good Mexican food. A classic Mexican menu with the upgraded cocktail list to go with the usual margaritas and beer. Great views of the ocean and if you time it right you might get a great sunset in as well. We were staying at the hotel next door and stopped by here to eat and we were delighted. Old school authentic Mexican food. You can't beat it.
When we went, they were only offering for take-out, so unfortunately we couldn’t eat inside, but we were at least able to use the bathrooms. Also, the service was great as the person in the front table was kind. In the end, the food though pricey, does live to its price. The food was amazing, so we still definitely enjoyed it.

Delicious and savory authentic mexican food accompanied by gorgeous veiws of the Pacific ocean set behind colorful, charming blooming gardens!
I ordered a chile relleno & shredded beef taco combination with rice and beans. I was very pleased and delighted with everything on my plate. Although, I must say the chile relleno was my absolute favorite! My friend had the Morales special, it was a unique plate with corn tortillas covered with a wonderful green verde sauce, cheese, Ortega chiles, green onions, sour cream topped with a perfectly cooked over easy fried egg. We also ordered a side of guacamole (very fresh and also fabulous) alongside the chips and salsa which were promptly brought to our table upon being seated.
Our server Kathleen was attentive and very friendly, giving great knowledge about the menu and information to other guests as well of local places of must do's and see around the area. I learned that the amazing artwork displayed throughout the restaurant were painted by the owner over the years as well.
Outstanding food, fantastic veiws and lunch with a sweet friend to complete a beautiful day!
Thank you El Chorlito!
Beautiful view. ❤️ Delicious Margaritas. Great food. Huge portions!!! Fast friendly service. And just off of hwy 1. Perfect stop!
Our experience and meal was fantastic & it exceeded our expectations. Their back yard is surrounded by beautiful plants & peaceful. We got the combo meal with crispy taco & an enchilada with red sauce, beans & rice with yummy cheese on the beans. It was full of flavor, did not skimp on the meat & my taco was perfectly crispy! Thank you for a great experience and to our Lovely server who was very sweet. I cannot believe this place is not packed 24/7. It’s not cheap but no place is anymore. It was worth it!
Great Mexican restaurant near the beach in San Simeon and right next to our hotel! Couldn’t have been better located! Good choices for vegetarians on the menu, we had the veggie fajitas and they were very tasty!
Lots of seating indoors and a lovely seating area outside. Restaurant has a lovely garden area, and you can watch the sunset. Staff were friendly and attentive.
It seems their dessert special is homemade Lemon ice cream, just wish I’d left enough room for this as it looked delicious and lots of fellow diners were very complimentary about it.
If you’re in the area this place won’t disappoint!
Dinner date. We were waitrd on promptly. Had the choice to dine on the patio or inside. Staff is very friendly. Chips and salsa to start with. I had chile colorada plate and he ordered chile verde. Both plates come with a side of rice and beans.
Really delicious food. Horchata was amazing. Homemade flan super delicious. Outdoor seating has a spectacular view and atmosphere. Staff was super helpful and nice. Highly recommend. Nice drink selection.
Very good small Mexican restaurant at San Simeon on Hwy 1. Very nice rustic ambience. Dined here in July 2021. They allow inside seating. You can also sit outside, enjoy the breeze and ocean view. Very courteous host and server. I recommend this place if you are driving by this location.
I was so impressed with the service here, their customer service is top notch. We enjoyed their supreme nachos, kids got tenders, a two taco plate with a side of beans and rice, and a combo taco enchilada plate. Great serving sizes and good food, we also enjoyed their complimentary chips and salsa. We will return next time we are in the area. Support this local business!
Happened to spot this place driving by… it was delicious! Fish tacos were amazing!
My husband had the asada burrito and it was fantastic! We sat indoors, but they also had a small outdoor dining patio with a view.
This place was wonderful. It isn't huge nor is it usually busy but it is certainly a positive thing. It has beautiful views of the ocean from the inside and an outside grass patio with tables and chairs that have an even better view all while the calm ocean breeze flows around you. The bathrooms are very nice and CLEAN as well. If you want a relaxing place to eat when you travel to Hearst castle then you should definitely stop by here!
Food was good.. service was a bit slow.. recommend sitting outside
Nice outdoor seating with a beautiful view. Good portions! Great place to stop by for a beer and good Mexican food after visiting Hearst castle.
Gluten-free.. What a charming Restaurant, very open with options of outdoor dining, food is very fresh with authentic flavors, so delicious and the service was very good. One downside is the adult beverage is on the light side.
