AJ’s Kitchen El Camino Real Reviews
So happy we re-found these guys! They were AJ’s kitchen on the 41 and we went quite often there. They left that location and came here. It’s a quaint place with small section of seating indoors and a nice patio area outside. Enrique even remembers our names and it’s been at least a yr since we’ve seen him. We have always loved their food. And this time did not disappoint. The salsa was smoked just right. Chips are fresh. The pastrami sandwich was great. And the macaroni salad is the bomb! Seasoned just right. With this location they have beer but only one for the time being. We will definitely be back more now that we know where they are. If you haven’t been here, you are 100% missing out. Go check it out for yourself.
I love this place! Food is great and they have the best salsas! I order a Spinach Omelette and ask for veggies on the side instead of home fries. They had no problem with my request. It was delicious!
Food was really good! Cute little place. Service was great!
Loved their food every time I went there. Especially the bacon breakfast burrito and french toast.

Oh my This place is amazing best breakfast burrito I ever had i wish I lived closer friendly staff as well as good as it gets
Affordable and delicious food with friendly service. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
We ordered 3 different dishes and each one was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The salsa was so good too. The person who waited on us went above and beyond. Brought fruit out for our baby and was very kind. My 7 year old gave it “10 out of 10 stars”
Huge, hardy veggie breakfast burrito! So good. Highly recommend!
I ate the second 1/2 of my girlfriend’s leftover chorizo burrito from her lunch break when she got home from work and immediately felt compelled to write a 5 star review because that’s how good it was- even hours later it was fantastic. Just try it. Burrito was absolutely delicious. I was transported to family beach days when I would unwrap the aluminum foil burritos made by my grandma and my aunts the night before and it was the best meal I had after playing in the sun all day. I cant wait to go back and try the burrito again fresh out of the kitchen.
AJ Coffee is top-notch! The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the spotless cleanliness really impressed me. Highly recommend! 07/22/2025
We were on our way home from San Luis Obispo and looked for a breakfast place online. We chose AJ’s and were so glad we did! What a fabulous breakfast! Some of the best chilaquiles I’ve ever had! And my husband cleaned his plate of huevos rancheros. We’ll be back!
We found AJ's!! (used to be on Morro Rd.) They are in the strip mall where Don Q's used to be. We always liked their food, and were so happy to find them. They cooked my patty melt to order, and the scratch made macaroni salad was delish! They were not very busy this AM- check them out. And they plan on fixing up the outdoor eating area so folks can bring their dogs again.
AJs food is consistently very fresh and fast. Their staff is welcoming and provides outstanding service. This restaurant is a spinoff of the AJs that used to be in Highway 41. Please give them a try as the owner is a long-time local small businessman trying to reestablish a successful restaurant in our town.
Excellent food. Tastes damn good. Friendly service and reasonable prices.
Went here yesterday with a party of 6! Our food was amazing. The home made chips and salsa are worth the trip alone. Super fast service! They have something for everyone! Great veggie scramble! Amazing breakfast burrito, a great grilled chicken wrap and also real smoked bbq pork! My only suggestion would be to change your google listing to AJs restaurant and drop the word coffee from the search... People will come! People will most definitely come! I’ll be back:) also really reasonable prices and portions too:) keep this gem in business!
Omg, we just discovered this place had reopened and hadn't known for almost 2 years! This was one of the first places we went before moving to Atascadero almost 7 years ago. We love the food, the staff, and would come here often when they were located on highway 41. We were heartbroken when they closed, but so happy to recently discover their new location. It has all the same great food and a even remembered what we used to order all the time. Definitely come for breakfast, but if you decide on lunch do not miss out on the pastrami sandwich. Wonderful.
Food is very good with a lot of variety. Went with several friends (,group) and this place food not disappoint. Friendly staff, local owners.
We stopped by here on our way to the beach, breakfast burrito was delicious. Place was clean and they were super attentive. I wish I lived near by, if you’re in the area, drive by! I definitely recommend stopping by!

Literally best place in town. I don’t know how this place doesn’t have a constant line out the door. Get a breakfast burrito!

This is a tucked away place where they sell more than coffee. Had a burger and fríes (picture) and it was good. Could taste the smoked flavor in the burger. Had a Torta the next time (other picture), but it was a little too bready for my liking. Their burritos are good too!

Got a breakfast burrito and it was mostly potatoes that tasted like everything spice, very disappointing and the coffee was very watered down
