Restaurants in King City

“Drove 5 hours to get here! It was so worth it! On our way from LA to San Fran to attend a wedding, decided to stop here for lunch and so glad we did! First of all, the owner and server were both such super nice, personable, and awesome people! I was ready to love this place even if the food was mediocre, but it was far from that! Everything was delicious and came out so perfect! Even the plating was impeccable! If Gordon Ramsay came to this restaurant, I think he would love it! If you're a savory person like me, I can't recommend the country fried steak enough! If you're a sweet person like my wife, you won't regret getting the Priou's Signature, which is a deep-fried French toast! I kept stealing bites from my wife. It was so good! I never wanna eat French toast again any other way! If you're anywhere near King City, you have to try this place! Made my wife and me look at housing in this area to see if we wanna move here, haha!”

“Great food for decent price. Stopped on a road trip, and couldn’t have been happier we chose this over all the fast food options off the exit. You can order pickup online if you don’t have time to stop and eat.”

“Really lovely ambience and it was a nicely decorated restaurant. Great prices for the food quality and taste. They also served us some chips and salsa. Highly recommended place for a quick stop for lunch.”

“This is hands-down the best burrito in Olive California. Do yourself a favor. Stop in and say hello. Service is great. Food is great and what a cool little town.”

“This is my favorite restaurant in King City. The Baja fish tacos are awesome and my favorite! A must try spot for sure.Dietary restrictions: Keto/low carb options - Bowls.”

“During our return trip from Paso Robles, we decided to stop for lunch at Cork & Plough. Our group consisted of both adults and children. The restaurant was very accommodating, managing to fulfill various specific requests from our party with considerable patience. The atmosphere of Cork & Plough is slightly different than your typical dinner, and the menu reflects that vibe. We were pleased with the portion sizes and the freshness of the food. While nothing was extraordinarily exceptional, everything was satisfactory. The skirt steak sandwich and the salmon pasta got good feedback from the tea The ravioli serving was quite generous. Overall, Cork & Plough proved to be a delightful choice for a lunch stop.”

“My husband ordered the chorizo scramble. I had the pork verde omelet they both were EXCELLENT. The homemade salsa and tortillas was a nice surprise. The food came out fast. Our server did an awesome job. On the road again??”

“Amazing food and worth the stop in Gonzales when traveling down the road. Fresh made tortillas off the charts. We got one order of quesobirria $20 and it was huge with 4 tacos. We actually made two meals out of it. The cheesey meat filled tortillas and the dipping sauce was the best Ive ever had. There were several other offerings on the menu like the stuffed baked potato that I'm looking forward to trying.”

“I love coming to El Lugarcito. Whenever I’m passing through King City it’s a must stop. I LOVE how it’s a family run business. I saw a review about a baby in the restaurant, yes he’s the next generation. I remember fondly growing up local restaurants playing with the owner’s kids. The food, INCREDIBLE. My favorite are the carne asada plate, Diablo shrimp, and garlic shrimp. And it is FAST. Like wow is it fast. Great service, love the food, it feels like family.”

“Great place for a pit stop at the halfway point of my long motorcycle ride. I got the carnitas plate which was a ton of food. I ate 2/3 and was full to the max. Carnitas was super tasty. Will be coming back on my way through in the future.”

“The lady who runs this place makes the sopes BY HAND - they are SO good.The horchata and garlic shrimp, camarones de ajo, the greens and cheese, everything was fresh and delicious.”

“The pizza tasted great, but paying a little over $30 for a "large" pizza wasn't? I don't think it was $30 great. But when you're road tripping with the whole family and want something easy that everyone will love can't go wrong with pizza! Friendly staff.”

“Actually I was looking for some stuff for my car I founded at Salinas, Ca . This happened on September 3 2023.We drove since Los Angeles, Ca. We saw some beautiful places all the way long, we stopped at King City, Ca . We decided to eat at El Sinaloense Restaurant , It was crowded and you know where there a lot a people food is good. I ordered cheese Chile relleno and a chicken hard taco with rice and beans flavor was good my cousin ordered Carne asada plate he said was good too. Very good experience so far. Time to go to Salinas, Ca to pick up my car stuff.”

“Worth getting off the 101! Traveling back to San Jose we stopped in King City and found this restaurant. First, the service was great. The young man behind the counter patiently answered our questions and willing offered recommendations. The food was amazing and prepared fresh. They also had real Coke with sugar not HFC. Well worth the stop.”

“No frills Mexican restaurant serving localsin King City. This is not a fancy place but service was great and food was good with adequate portions and reasonably priced by today's standards (Dec 2023). Unfortunately, nothing is cheap anymore, even in back country towns.”
