Cambria Cafe: A Culinary Escape in the Heart of Cambria

What a delightful surprise in Cambria! This restaurant far exceeded my expectations in all aspects! This restaurant makes better food then other Mexican and dinner food I have been to around the United States. The children love the food here as well. There is parking but it can be tight, but the best thing to do is park down the road which is not a long walk. The staff is very nice and helpful which is a plus.

The food was absolutely incredible and Moussa was so amazing. He was so kind, he had answers for every question we had, he had suggestions (which were all remarkably good) and he really made our night. Without a doubt this is the best Mediterranean food that I’ve had and if I am in the area again, I will definitely be returning.

Antonio and his family are working hard to serve a wonderful experience in regards to atmosphere and food. The restaurant is SPOTLESS and the coffee ( you don't hear this often) was excellent.

restaurant has new owners annd the food is fantastic. American and authentic Mexican dishes. I got do excited for my Chipotle Shrimp Omelete I stating eating before my photo. This is a breakfast place I am proud to bring my out of town guests to. The service is great really nice couple runs the place a special family place.

It used to be a Mediterranean spot, but a few months ago they switched over to a Mexican-American cafe, and the change has been such a good one. Just a heads up — most of the older photos on here don’t reflect what they’re serving now, so don’t let that throw you off. I had the Denver omelette and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Super flavorful, perfectly cooked. The hash browns were just how I like them — crispy on the outside, soft inside. I ate them so fast I didn’t even get a chance to take a photo (no regrets). The place itself has a super cozy, homey vibe — kind of like a little casita — and they had Banda music playing, which really brought the whole experience together. It just felt good being there. My wife tried the cranberry mimosa, and it was spot on — sweet but not too much, with champagne from San Antonio that gave it a nice touch. We split the French toast at the end, and it was the perfect way to finish — warm, soft, and just sweet enough. We left full and happy. Definitely coming back.

We stopped in the cute little town of Cambria before heading north to San Fran. This restaurant was delicious and I would highly recommend it. I had the Chicken Shawarma plate and it was really good. My sister had the Falafel plate and ate the whole thing too. The server was very nice but you could tell he was busy as he was the only one for about 4 tables. We highly recommend this restaurant if you end up in this cute area!

Had an absolutely delightful experience! They kept their shop open for us even tho they were closing, we don’t eat meat and they made adjustments for us, introduced to their incredible homemade sauce made by the owner (fiery and delicious), were so gracious and kind, and the food was beyond amazing. I’ll never forget this place and will be back in the future. Thank you Antonio, you were a superstar!

UPDATE - was in town 1 year after my initial visit. Ordered the falafel plate again to see if it was as good as before. It absolutely was! My husband said it was the best falafel he'd ever had. The salad and hummus sides were also delicious. BTW - the falafel is gluten free (without the pita) as are many other dishes on their menu. In summary, my falafel plate was the tastiest plate of food I've eaten in a restaurant in recent memory. It's so rare for EVERYTHING on the plate to be fantastic and full-flavored. Often, the entee will be tasty but the sides are lackluster. The Mediterranean food at Cambria Cafe was delicious: *I think these were the best falafel I've ever had: crispy, nicely spiced and light. Be sure to use the tahini sauce! *Hummus was delicious! Also very well flavored and light - not super dense *The salad was very, very tasty! Love the dressing and it was nicely dressed. *Pickles were really good - daikon? I spoke to the owners and they are delightful people. The wife is the chef. She said this food is what you might eat in Syria or Lebanon. I didn't try the grape leaves because I was too full to order them but I recommend you do as they sound way better than the typical ones.
