This used to be a Mediterranean restaurant but opened under new ownership as a Mexican restaurant about a year ago. The staff is very kind and attentive and the food is absolutely delicious. My mom had a breakfast burrito with Chorizo she said was the best of her life. My husband and I had veggie breakfast burritos which were big and super filling with everything cooked perfectly and yummy salsa on the side. We all went back for lunch the next day and had chicken mole enchiladas, huevos rancheros, chicken chilaquiles and a BLT. Everyone loved the meal and we especially liked that we were able to take in our baby without any issue. Highly recommend!

It used to be a Mediterranean spot, but a few months ago they switched over to a Mexican-American café, 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!

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.

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!

We met the owner who was working at another restaurant in the evenings. We learned of his new restaurant ownership and came for breakfast. I enjoyed the Cambria Scramble which was pork chorizo scrambled with onions, served with hash browns and toast. My husband had his standard soft scrambled eggs and pancakes. Simple but tasty he said. Mine was delicious and served hot! The atmosphere pleasing, clean and friendly staff! Thank you for getting us off to a good start this morning. We wish you all the success for your future!

It was the sweetest little restaurant. I wish I saw it the day before but we frequently come up here and next time… we are doing breakfast there. The owner was sweet , her daughter as well. I would rather do a family owned place because I worked in restaurants from 12-41 on and off. Family owned is so cozy.

A Cambrian Gem! The Cambria Cafe is downtown, great atmosphere, excellent service and fantastic food. The chicken fried steak is homemade and delicious! Great variety and selection. Again do yourself a flavor favor, visit Antonio at the Cambria Cafe, downtown Cambria. 2 thumbs up and 10 stars!
