*In search of the best Chowder in SLO, Zorro's Cafe & Cantina, 1st out of 6 restaurants sampled, El Honcho the king of SLO chowders!*
We stopped by Zorro's Cafe for breakfast on our way out of San Luis Obispo. Approaching the restaurant, Zorro's attract lines, just like Splash Cafe in Pismo Beach. We waited about 20 minutes to get a table, but as we are ushered into our table, a lovely kid gave a white rose to my wife. It was mother's day, and Zorro's are presenting mothers who dined with them that day a rose. A good sign that we are going to have a great breakfast here at Zorro's.
Inside, Zorro's small and quaint space has such character. We glanced at the menu but already mentioned that we'll have a cup of their clam chowder. I came to our table before our breakfast and tasted it. Wow, it is by far the best clam chowder we have tasted throughout our trip here in SLO. The savoriness and brininess of the chowder is Perfect. The creaminess is on point. The conglomeration of all the ingredients of Zorro's clam chowder is just perfect. It was so good than when my wife tasted it, she immediately asked our server that she will have a cup of her own as well.
Anyways back to our breakfast, I asked our server what is here recommendation, and without hesitation, she recommended the Cuyama Chili Verde Omelet of which I obliged. The flavor of the chili verde sauce, the tenderness of the pork, all just so good. My wife's Chilaquiles was yummy as well. My son's burger patty was perfectly charred and tasted great.
So if you are looking for breakfast in San Luis Obispo, Zorro's Cafe & Cantina is your spot. Its accolades are absolutely legit. And need I say about their clam chowder? The best.
