Zorro's Cafe & Cantina

I love the breakfast burritos here. They are filling, yummy and easy to eat in the car. I get them to go when I'm heading out of town on a trip. The employees are very nice and personable!

Zorro’s Café – Breakfast Done Right in Shell Beach Some places get it. They understand that great food is only part of the equation. A truly memorable spot has something more—something you can’t fake or franchise. Zorro’s Café in Shell Beach is one of those places. Let’s start with the scene—before the doors even open, there’s a line. Not because of hype, not because of some influencer’s latest post, but because people know. They’ve been here before. They know that the second they step inside, they’ll be met with Eric’s hospitality—the kind of genuine, easy warmth that makes you feel like you’re walking into an...

Best clam chowder in this coastal area. The only thing I have eaten there. Thick, creamy and full of clam chunks. I always bring some home when I visit the coast.

We had a delicious meal here! The staff was friendly and helpful! Sitting outside was lovely! Close to beach and hiking trails! Good reward after a hard hike!

Wow, great find! Great food, great service, reasonable prices and great ambiance. Their chips and salsa were super good too (and you can buy a jar of their salsa to take home). We shared a Denver omelette, and they even split the order onto separate plates without us asking and no extra charge. They checked on us often. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and got in without a wait. Sounds like they are really busy in the mornings so call ahead. Nice fusion of Mexican and American food. Can't wait to go back and try other items from the menu.

We stopped off here for coffee and lunch on our way driving to Santa Monica. The staff were all friendly and super fast. We ate breakfast food and it was hot, well presented and tasty. They were busy but not chaotic. I loved this place. We sat outside.

This place was hopping at 8:30 on a Saturday morning. Glad we arrived when we did, as we scored the last inside table. Ordered the Huevos Rancheros ($14) and it was excellent. Tons of flavor with very mild spice, perfect for breakfast. Hubby ordered the country sausage and eggs ($15) and he declared it awesome. Really good sausage. Service friendly and quick. Large portions.

Was referred this place by host of a walking tour in San Luis Obispo. Turns out that it was a great breakfast, fun place. Good portions and tasty food. Thank you!!!

Chose Zorro's for our favorite place was closed on Monday's. The food overall was good, we chose to sit outside, next time we'll sit inside for the flies were just too much. We had 2 drinks, the beer was barely cold, couldn't even get a cold glass. The Hawaiian Mimosa hardly had any pineapple juice in it. Pricing was reasonable, and the service was great.

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

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.

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!

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.

The salsas great, cheese enchiladas were great, tamale was spicy, and the tacos were killer.

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!

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.

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

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