We “whipped” off of Hwy 1 after seeing the giant “fried artichokes” sign. This place gets packed at lunch! The fried artichokes were great comfort food...yummy, and “so” California! The fish and chips looked wonderful as did the cheeseburger. A cute little stop off on your journey down Hwy. 1

My wife and I were traveling from San Simeon to San Francisco on our vacation (4/16/14) and the GPS had us take a very indirect route. We were getting hungry and saw a Burger King on a corner as we pulled into the lot I noticed a bakery sign in a strip mall that had a burrito sign in the window. We decided to try it, what a good move. It was the best burrito either of us have ever had. We ate in the car under a shady tree and then continued on our way.

Well this restaurant and coffee shop has the best sandwiches that I've ever enjoyed. They also have the most delicious fried artichokes within 100 miles!!
The staff Stephanie and Gabi are very social and pleasant. Bears room to sit and eat your lunch or you can take it to go. It's also great to have a nice selection of wines and since then attached to the building structure. Definitely a sandwich place you want to try at some point in your life...

Coffee Mia makes homemade pastries as well as breakfast sandwiches daily. I tried one of there Italian cannolis with a good cup of coffee was delicious. Shop busy with local customers who stated to me they come there weekly and enjoy the food and coffee, price comparison to other coffee shops about the same.
7. Ticos Breakfast & Lunch

Reviewed By Rosemary C - Monterey, California
Was looking for a breakfast place in Marina near a hotel my friends were staying. Tico's came up with high ratings so decided to check it out. Not disappointed at all. It's a bit hidden away in a strip mall but very sweet once entered. It's a small place with indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is really very delicious. They have both very traditional American breakfast and lunch choices but I would definitely recommend the Mexican choices. Really well done and fresh. Very reasonably priced and good sized portions. Definitely get your money's worth and very worthy of a return trip.

We were seated but friendly smiling staff right away. The menu is vast including crepes! The service was friendly but a little spotty. It took our server a while to come back and get our order. When we asked for water, they said they would bring a pitcher. We had to ask again. The food was very good and decent servings. Overall it was good. I think we caught them at the end of the brunch rush and the serving staff was slowing down.

Everything in the menu was fantastic. Artichokes appetizer was like butter. The calamari appetizer was arguably the best I had ever eaten. Big pieces. Not the little rings you get other places.
The tri tip, sausage, rotisserie chicken was all so tender and juicy. And the bbq sauce was perfect.
Don't miss this place!!!

Big place, and quite busy. They have a good system for ordering at the counter-that definitely helps move people through. My husband tried the fish and scallops and chips and wasn't too fond of the scallops. I tried the Sicilian artichoke and wouldn't reccommend it. The artichoke itself was tough, and the filling was odd-mostly wet flour and cheese. The roasted one is probably better. The cappuccino was good-large and hot!
