Zorros Cafe in Cantina Shell Beach

The clam chowder is a must! Great service even during the current pandemic. Prices were good, not low but too excessive. Would definitely eat here again

So good and excellent service! Left a $20 tip on a $35 tab! That's how I roll!

The food was delicious!! Worth the short 15 minute wait. Very attentive staff, all wearing masks and with tables as distanced as possible.

The salsa was great. Food pretty good. The employees were completely clueless. They couldn't answer basic food questions. We routinely had no service for long periods of time and then 2 or 3 people check in with us in less than 60 seconds.

Excellent food! One of the best Egg Benedict I've ever had. This place also serve up some mad Mexican food too. I would skip the pancakes and go with their signature dishes including Tamales, Clam Chowder and their Egg Benedict. There's ample street parking and plenty of seat. Wait staff gets a good workout speed walking so cut them some slack.

Food was good, but the staff was seriously clueless. We asked the same simple question to three different staff members, including our server (how much for a la carte taquitos and how many taquitos come in the plate) and none of them could answer. It was a really strange experience.

Went to Zorro's teice because it was so yummy. Had breakfast and dinner there. Food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and kept our drinks filled. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat if you are travelling through and want great Mexican food. The salsa was awesome as well.

My husband and I had dinner at Zorro’s last night. We were not disappointed with the food. Though we had been told there would be no more than a 15-minute wait - and Google’s entry said the same - when we arrived around 7 pm, we were told it would be 45 minutes. A sidewalk table opened up after 30 mins. Yes, it was a little chilly at 8 pm but our meals were worth it. My spinach enchiladas were very good; my husband said his chile verde was, too. Save room for the fried ice cream dessert. Recommended heartily.

Cute diner in Shell Beach, warm and super friendly service. Be sure to try the (award winning) clam chowder!

I was at shell beach with a friend feeling hungry. Checked the net and Zorro's cafe was a 10 minute walk. We arrive a were seated outside with a friendly atmosphere. Ordered and WOW! the portions were huge !!! Fajitas were delicious with mounds of white chicken and plenty of fixings. I had a chicken salad with all healthy items big enough for 4 people. THIS is my next "GO TO PLACE!""..Both of us had take out boxes for our next meal. Prices were very reasonable with all social distancing in place.

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, and most importantly really good food!

Food is good. Service for dine in is good. Do not attempt carry out... You'll be put on hold for 15+ minutes or just get the busy signal.

We stopped here on our way to Santa Barbara with absolutely no expectations, and it was really amazing. I had the exquisitas fajitas (great vegetarian option) and my husband the chili Colorado burrito with avocado. By far the best Mexican food we have ever eaten! And the service is great, everybody was really friendly.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere, and great food. I had the chile Verde burrito and my fiance had the local burrito which were both fantastic. Also the house made chips and salsa are amazing, we got seconds on them.

Very good food awesome staff very Accommodating in these times Chile Verde off the hook

Food was great. Got to the table hot & very tasteful. But the service was garbage. Came to the table with the wrong beer. Ordered a margarita never got it, but they tried to charge me for it...

Amazing food! And they keep the coffee mugs full during breakfast hour which is the best thing ever. They do the full menu during breakfast and I decided to order clam chowder in sourdough bowl. The soup was Chunky, meaty and made me feel all warm on a chilly morning. Loved visiting this place!

This place rocks! If you visit pismo this is a must come to place. Don't go dennys. Come here. The Cuymaya chile verde omelet is amazing! Staff is very friendly and attentive. I wish I could give more stars.

First off Dog friendly patio with Dog Menu. A must stop if you are on the 101 and looking for a cool place to stop and eat. Food and service is really great. Yum Yum Yum Chips and salsa cant get enough. I was debating between the California Chicken Melt and the Cliffside chili size burger. I went with the Chili size well done and it did not disappoint. Enjoy

We had their breakfast and it was good, then we had their clam chowder for dinner, and we must say that it is up ther with Splash and Brad's...what a pleasant surprise..❤ Pete n Lisa

A locals favorite. Quaint restaurant, with a cozy dog-friendly patio. Large menu filled with flavor. American and Mexican favorites and fresh seafood. Very courteous staff, and just blocks from the ocean. Currently parking is a problem because of street maintenance. But that's temporary. Enjoy!

Amazing food and an expansive menu with lots of variety. The staff is friendly and the service is good quality. I recommended it to my parents for their next Pismo trip and they loved it, too.

One of the best restaurants Shell Beach. They've been here forever and are always packed! Best breakfast in the area by far and their Bloody Mary's are off the hook.

Great Mexican food. Highly recommend the nachos with shredded beef!

So glad we found this little place. Excellent food & service. This place will definitely be on our must have list whenever we're traveling through the area Love that that flautas were cut down to fit in the take out box. Beef was tender and delicious. Rice was flavorful and fluffy and the refried beans were cooked perfectly. Only con is on the take out they put the pico, sour cream and guac in one large container so by the time we opened it they were all mixed together and a runny mess.

Had breakfast with family today and I had the chilaquiles. I had requested they make them with the Chile Verde sauce. Best idea EVER they were willing to accomodate!!! Food is made fresh, authentic Mexican and American food and reasonably priced. Staff is hard-working, personable and accommodating. My family and I appreciated the GREAT service and food and all plates were left clean!!!

"Loved the food it's really good" but unfortunately they are very slow and when you ask for something they won't bring it or you have to keep asking them for it.
