Mexican

Open daily 10am - 10pm

El Pollo Loco's chosen motto is "Flame-Grilled Mexican Chicken." I'm not certain what's so special about Mexican chickens, but they sure are tasty! El Pollo Loco sets itself apart from other fast-food restaurants with its flame-grilled chicken, marinated in a combination of garlic, citrus and other spices. This flavorful and juicy chicken is the staple of basically the entire menu. Granted, I've never seen so many delicious options for poultry dishes. Perhaps that's what sets the Mexican chicken apart!

Open daily from 11am - 9pm

Cabo San Luis is a casual restaurant with a delightful "Baja" flavor: the walls have grass hut roofs, tables are covered with a tropical vinyl, and cervesa ads abound. The biggest decor highlight for our family is the large tropical fish tank. Set in the middle of one of the dining areas, the square tank is framed with a countertop and barstools making it a perfect place to eat and watch the fish. (Somehow vastly different from eating a burger while watching the cattle graze.)

Open Mon, Wed - Fri 11am - 9pm, Sun till 8:30pm. Closed Tuesday

Open Mon - Thurs 8am - 9pm, Fri - Sun till 10pm

Taco de Mexico is a deliciously dependable staple for Mexican food in Morro Bay. Conveniently located on the corner of Main and Dunes, Taco de Mexico is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Tus Amigos is a funny little restaurant in Los Osos that our family loves to frequent. The menu is posted on the wall as you enter, conveniently located near the cash register where you place your order. Menu items are purchased individually or in "plates" which include beans and rice for dinner, and eggs, beans, potatoes and choice of tortilla for breakfast.
