Bewertungen von Old Juan’s Cantina Oceano
5 stars!! Wow, Old Juan's delivered big time! The molcajete was insane, sizzling hot stone bowl packed with grilled steak, shrimp, bacon-wrapped bites, chorizo, sausages, grilled zucchini ribbons, avocado, queso fresco, and that rich, smoky red sauce that coated everything perfectly. Presentation was next-level with the charred 🌵 and steam. But the real standout was my wife's chicken mole—tender chicken swimming in deep, complex sauce (chiles, chocolate, spices all balanced just right). It was 🔥🔥🔥—one of the best moles we've had. Portions are generous, flavors authentic, and the cozy cantina vibe (cacti walls, chill atmosphere) right near the beach makes it even better. Friendly service too. Must-try spot in Oceano—can't wait to go back! 🌶️🍗🍤
Old Juan's Cantina is one of those restaurants our family keeps coming back to and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good — solid, flavorful Mexican cuisine that hits the spot every time. But let's be honest, the margaritas alone are worth the trip. Some of the best on the Central Coast. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, which matters a lot when you're dining out with three kids. It never feels chaotic or unwelcoming — just good vibes, good food, and a staff that makes you feel at home. If you're looking for a reliable Mexican restaurant in San Luis Obispo that works for the whole family, Old Juan's Cantina deserves a spot at the top of your list.
We came in on a busy Friday night and were super impressed with the staff! Hostess got us seated as quick as they could, waiter was also a bartender and he quickly got us drinks and food. Food was perfect and everyone was happy.
Best Mexican Restaurant I've been to in many years! Authentic Mexican food with a very large selection of tasty food! They also have some delicous vegan and vegetarian food. I had the Calabaza Tacos which are vegan friendly "(Three mini corn tortilla tacos filled with butternut squash, and corn drizzled with a coconut enchilada sauce, vegan friendly Mole sauce and vegan feta crumble. Garnished with cilantro") which were absolutely fantastic! Can't say enough about how tasty they were! The service was great, they checked up on us a couple of times to see if we needed anything and to ask how everything was. The blended Margaritas were really nice! They have a great selection of Tequilas and a full bar in the restaurant. Great atmosphere for inside or outside dining, very clean bathrooms (weird to mention, but important to me). I'll be moving down to south county this year and this will be a regular spot to eat for me, most definitely. I very highly recommend Old Juan's Cantina for couples, family, groups - they can accommodate all!
Staying here in Oceana for a week. Already been here twice. Yes it’s convenient, but the atmosphere and the food is great. Both times we have sat in the bar. Friendly staff and regulars make it feel like home. We met an elderly couple who drive from SLO a couple times a week to enjoy! Check them out if you are in the area.
We had fantastic meals. The portions were perfect, fairly priced and great service. We went on a Friday night and they were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a booth for 4 and our food came out within 15 minutes of ordering, hot and delicious. We'd definitely go back.
First time here and the service was already great, every staff was friendly and the whole entire restaurant is unique. Mostly I love to point out the retro vibe feeling and the wall art from every corner. They have some sort of shrine thats set up beautifully, the fake animals got me but I love it. Mainly the geometric style art near some tables is an eye cathcer for me. I had a quick appetizer and beers from draft. The beer was cold and its supposed to, because I've had some drafts thats not up to cold temp before on other bars. Overall, I love the restaurant and it was live on a normal weekday.
Great environment, tasty and fancy looking drinks and delicious food. The location is perfect as it is close to Pismo beach and we stopped by for lunch after an ATV trip at the dunes. The server was friendly and kept checking on us for drinks and food. Serving size of the food was good. We passed by the restaurant the night before and it was fairly busy with nicely decorated lights both inside and out. Enough parking for everyone!
Great old restaurant feel. Scrumptious food. Fast service as we were a party of 11. We will definitely go back.

The food was okay. I wasn't a fan of the enchilada sause or the refried beans. The chips and salsa were delicious. Plenty on the menu to choose from so if i do go back il try something else. The prices for things were a bit high in my opinion. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Love this place, but they need to update some things like the menu Some of the dishes are bland, a little too similar to cafeteria food. For the price it’s ok. They do have a great bar area.
This is an older Mexican restaurant with a dated interior but great service and great good with large portions. Red and green salsa with wonderful chips were served right away with water. We had homemade tortilla soup, veggie enchiladas, a combo plate of chili relleno and chicken enchilada, and a mole enchilada plate. All were delicious and the portions were very generous. We will be back!
We truly have enjoyed Old Juan's Cantina in the past. This experience tonight wasn't the best. We had a reservation for 11 people. We had to wait much longer than we thought. There were at least four of us in the party that received food that was not hot. The food wasn't as tasty as usual. Our waitress Chelsea was very good, very friendly and I have no complaints with her. I'm certain we will give Old Juan's another chance but it could be a little while.
Good menu, has the regular items but also different items you might not expect. Had the Mexican veggie bowl, generous portion and very tasty. Tortilla chips and two salsas, red & green, were also brought to the table. Salsas were also tasty, maybe could use a bit more heat. Good service and the decor is a traditional Mexican theme, casual, comfortable, inviting. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the five cities area.
We ordered the enchiladas chicken mole. I thought they tasted a little too sweet, but my wife is Hispanic and said they tasted great. The rice and refried beans were good. The chips and salsa were just okay. We also ordered the lime margaritas, which tasted average. The staff was efficient and friendly. The prices were a little high, even for California.
First time at Old Juan’s Cantina and ate a lot of food. The shrimp fajitas and jalapeno poppers were good. The vegan tacos were surprisingly delicious. My only complaint was lack of heat, temperature wise and spice wise. Food was all a little tepid. The chips were stale. If everything had a little more heat and flavor, and chips were fresh, I’d give it 5 stars.
Old Juans has an extensive menu . It seems to be busy all the time not just when the tourist are in town.

Just love the ambiance..a true delight with an authentic Mexican flare! We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and service was good. The chips, salsa and fresh Pico de Gallo was great! However, the food was mediocre at best, I'm sad to say. The carnitas was dry and the chili relleno was doughy. The salad and Chipotle dressing was excellent!
I don’t understand such high reviews. It was mediocre at best. The Mexican pizza had no flavor. The tortilla soup had olives in it, which I found strange. I’ve had much better tamales. The salsa they bring to the table reminds me of pace picante sauce. The margaritas didn’t taste like it had any tequila in it. It tasted like lemonade. No one greeted me when I entered the building. I would suggest finding a more authentic Mexican restaurant. Our server was nice, the food just wasn’t worth another trip. They did have a nice patio as well.
Old Juan's Cantina is a solid spot. I got the fish tacos and a mango margarita, both of which were decent, but didn't blow me away. It's a reliable option if you're craving Mexican food in the ar…
