Whether you're looking for authentic Mexican food, a large selection of Tequilas, a sports bar, or a relaxing Sunday afternoon on the back deck listening to a live band, Las Cambritas has it all. Experienced (and creative) bartenders, good service, and fresh Mexican fare are all provided in a laid back atmosphere where locals and touristas are both treated like... More

We went here for cocktails before dinner and found it to be a cute little mexican bar/ restaurant with a great atmosphere. Beware though- the cocktails are potent! Well worth a visit

I went here for Mexican Food but fell in love with their margaritas! These are not watered down like some restaurants like to do with sweet and sour mix. These seem to be authentically made with real juice instead of mix (however, I was not at the bar to watch them so I could be wrong) . They are as... More

There are a couple of reasons why this place is so good. One is that there is a full bar - most of the other places in town only serve beer and wine, and for me, that gets old after a few days. The other is that it's not that same old same old Mexican stuff with gobs of yellow... More

Service was ok, I would have said good if the waitress would have brought the water without ice as we asked, instead she brought water in glasses filled with ice. The food was mediocre at best; it appeared that it was pre-made food just heated up on the spot before serving which dried out the meat, beans and rice! Too... More

My husband and I both really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food. The meals that we've had in San Simeon have been mediocre at best so we went exploring in Cambria. The town is pleasantly quaint and we plan on returning next year!

For a loud bar scene, mediocre but overpriced Mexican food this is a great choice. There aren't many choices for Mexican food in Cambria but we wouldn't go here again. The server however was very pleasant.

Good variety. A bit pricey but must take the remote location into consideration. (The cost of getting food products to your destination always impacts the price.) The service was great. Would come here again for dinner.

Found this place doing a web search while sightseeing in the area. Great discovery! My husband and I shared one of the specials of the night-seafood fajitas. The fajitas came with scallops, shrimp, and fish along with the usual peppers and onions. The sauce is what made the dish-cannot really put my finger on all the flavors in it, but... More
