I did not get a chance to meet Martin but the staff is very kind, the food is handmade (even the pasta) and the place is clean, charming and has great music and kind customers. Great menu! Authentic food. Excellent ingredients.

The waitstaff couldn't have been friendlier and attentive. We ordered both Mexican and Italian dishes, including vegetarian options. Everything was delicious. The second evening of our stay, we got a take out order of pizza. The crust was ...

Great Mexican food! Lots of items to choose from the menu. Portions are large and plentiful. The chocolate cake is a MUST HAVE! So much so we took some to-go the following day!

A very pleasant surprise. We stopped here to get dinner on two nights. We'll definitely eat here again. We were disappointed at the other places across the street near the pier.

Parking was easy. Seating was plentiful an comfertable. Big window seat with views of the town. Mexican decor was refreshing. Service was great. Coffee was rich. Meal was tasty and plentiful. Away from the crowds just 3 blocks back in town.

We had a wonderful breakfast. Their country potatoes are amazing. My Hubby had a Bloody Mary and loved it. I love these kind of restaurants, fast friendly service with a smile. Next time we come back to Cuyucas we will come for dinner.

1st timers and we will definitely be back!! Such a variety between two cuisines, like WOW. Hubby had chicken parm, I had the Prizzatta, fettuccine chicken w/ peas in a scrumptious Alfredo sauce. Foodgasms!!!! Foccia bread was the ultimate too as it had glazed onions adorning the top. The salsa was so different and addicting so we had to put it aside to have room for the entree which definitely dazzled our taste buds. Very tasty Chicken Tortilla soup as well. When in Cayucos must eat here!

Pizzas and Mexican. Not normally my preference, because no specialisation. But here it is different. Both the pizza and the Mexican dish (I had tacos) were great. Add to this that the service is the absolute best and then you know this is the place to be. Be on time as it is a popular venue.
