Zorro's Cafe & Cantina

This has been a family favorite for brunch since my wife and I started going to Cal Poly in 2012. Still our favorite spot in the county for brunch by the water to this day. Best clam chowder in SLO county hands down. The offerings are unmatched and the chips/salsa are always a nice touch. Friendly staff that’s always top notch. Hope to come here for many more years to come 🔥

I have stopped here twice now on my way down to socal and both times have been a very good experience. They have really good food and excellent service. I love that it is away from the main pismo strip so it's a Iittle less touristy. It's is small but cute. My only complaint would be that the outdoor seating is not the most comfortable but other than it's a great spot. I would definitely recommend.

We had a party of 7 and we were trying to find something open after pulling into town late. It was after 8:30p, but they immediately assembled a big table to accommodate us and took our drink order right away. We had chips and salsa within seconds. What a great first impression. My wife got the clam chowder in a bread bowl and considers it the best she has had anywhere, including the San Francisco wharf. I got one of the combination plates, and the rest of the family each got various items. All the family was full, and all the plates were empty by the time the two servings of fried ice cream came out. What a great dessert to share to finish the meal. We are definitely going to be coming back the next time we are in town.

Zorro's is a regular stop when we're in the area. We got lucky with a table when we walked in. I've tried many dishes here and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I highly recommend checking out their specials board. Those are usually gems. Tonight we went simple. I had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. It was full of big chunks of veggies and chicken, topped with a dollop of sour cream. It hit the spot. My partner had a chicken salad. It was huge and full of all the goodies.

Packed on a Friday night when we went to order. The to-go order was ready in 10 minutes. The wonderful lady who took our order was so welcoming and cared for our order . The food at Zorro is great. Chile Colorado was above par (7.5/10). The Southern California Chile Colorado did indeed stand out . Excellent steak fajitas (8/10) . I was so surprised/happy to see the extra set of rice beans and the chips that came with the order .
