Medusa's Taqueria

“ What a gem! This small restaurant had delicious fresh food! We are vegan and found the food wonderful. We loved the butternut squash enchiladas and may need to come back for a smothered veggie burrito next time. The staff were very kind! They also let us know that both the rice and black beans are good for vegans and are thoughtful about having options for people! Very lovely family run restaurant!! ”

“ Very tasty food. We got the lunch special. Yummy. Combo plates are too expensive though. Place is very casual with friendly service. ”

“ Sadly, I need to bump them down a little from last time. The restaurant owner is still a friendly and courteous gent with a similar friendly staff. Service was quick and he delivered exactly what we ordered for. The location is a typical "hole-in-the-wall" location and the interior was homey and felt perfect. Very clean location. We ended up getting the chicken enchilada's and the chicken soft tacos. The amount of chicken in both entrees was better than many other restaurants. My problem with the enchilada's was that they were pretty dry even when I cut apart the enchilada and put more sauce on top of the chicken. The chicken was tasty, but dry - and the sauce really didn't help. My wife's chicken tacos looked great but again, it needed quite a bit of salsa to make it flavorful (Lots of good veggies though). The beans were good but the rice was just so-so. Next time, we'll probably try something like the chili verde or ask for more sauce. I think their food is good, but based on the other reviews, it might be other items being better. ”

“ Good food and service. Had the fish taco with rice and beans. The grilled fish was light and well-prepared, and the beans were delicious. The fish tacos came with a fresh lemon wedge, cabbage, onions, and cilantro, and green salsa. Definitely an above-average fish taco for California in general. ”

“ A small place with a few tables, but really great homemade food! I got the chili verde wet burrito and the wife had the taco combo plate. She devoured hers, I loved the burrito, but my medical condition only allowed a few bites. The owner came over to ask if the burrito was to my liking, I informed her of my condition. I really like the fact the owners showed concern when they saw a possible issue. If you want what I think is real homemade food, please support this small restauran! I'll be stopping there the next time we're in town. ”

“ This is the one!! Soon as I walked in and saw the yucateco hot sauces on the table and Mexican decor, I knew it would hit! They've got a lot of plate combo options to choose from. I got the chile relleno with the chicken tamale. Pro tip, ask for diced asada on top of the chile relleno. You can thank me later! The asada was a perfect topping as it was nice and crispy. It compliments the chile relleno very well. My friends got jelly and ordered some on the side for their plates as well aha ha. I generally gauge Mexican restaurants by their beans and rice, because if the basics are off, then I assume the rest to be the same. Not here! I can't stress enough how great the food is here. The ambiance is reminiscent of those hole in the wall places that are hidden treasures. Just know that you've came to the right place for Mexican food in town. To top it all off, it was inexpensive for the amount of food we got. The server is very kind and tends to you in a timely manner and frequently to make sure you have all that you need. I just wish this place was near my work so I can visit every day to try the rest of their menu. Thanks you chef at Medusa for the best Mexican meal I've had in a long time! ”

“ I'm impressed! I was not expecting to find a good authentic Mexican food spot in Cambria but I did! The cheese enchiladas were delicious. The salsa was a bit mild for my taste (I like spicy) but it was still good. I will definitely order from here again next time I come to Cambria. Definitely recommend! ”

“ When we make our way to the Central Coast and town of Cambria, Medusa's is our go to Mexican Restaurant for the Best Chili Relleno's. It was a bit pricy at $20.00 The mole has changed over the years, and we rated it a 5 star the mole was so tasty as you can see the single Chili Relleno Mole orange color. This time it was red in color and not as good as before, but still a good-tasting Relleno 4 star. Bean's and Rice with good favor. The young order taker/waiter was friendly with great service. This restaurant is small with only 5 tables. ”

“ After a fun day full of Hearst Castle, a walk on the bluff of Ragged Point, driving on highway 1, walking on Moonstone Beach, and exploring downtown Cambria, we came upon this family owned restaurant on Main St. We were invited in to choose our own seats. Immediately we received fresh chips and salsa at our table. A radio was playing Mexican band music. We ordered beef enchiladas, a bean rice and cheese burrito, and two a la carte fish tacos. Twenty minutes later our food was served and it was delicious! My fish tacos were flavorful and satisfying, accompanied by a fresh lemon wedge, cabbage, onions, and cilantro, and green salsa. ”
