We just arrived in cambria first thing we did was come to our favorite restaurant for breakfast. The food is just really amazing. What i love about this place is that we've been coming here for the last couple years, and the quality n taste of the food remains the same. It's the reason we keep coming back. Our server benito was on point very friendly n courteous . We definitely recommend coming here whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The prices are very reasonable . This place is very clean n spacious inside n outside.

Friendly staff, owned by a family. The food overall was really good. First time I've had a steak at a restaurant, but I'd say it was delicious. The atmosphere was also nice, I enjoyed the music being played. The only problem I had was limited food options since I have a dairy allergy. They did their best to accommodate, and I expected going in not to have a whole lot of options.
