There are two locations, Morro Bay and SLO - both offer fresh California-style Mexican food and unbelievably huge proportions. I prefer the Morro Bay location because the patio looks out towards the ocean.

This place is a treat, and I'm glad I don't live in the same town as it. Rustic sourdough breads and European pastries made by a classically trained French pastry chef. Worth a stop if you're in SLO.
