Little savory secret on the main frontage road in Cambria. Authentic homemade Mexican food that is extremely delicious! Asked for my Shrimp Diablo to be turned up a notch. SMOKING!!! Mom and pop shop with the best folks ever. Our server was their beautiful daughter and she has a fabulous personality and was so pleasant to talk to. One bite of the flour tortillas and my eyes lit up! I told my wife, OMG, these are homemade! I could have kissed the mother l was so excited! The best flour tortillas l have ever had! When in Cambria, a must stop is Medusa's Taqueria!!

Very local type place. Informal setting and almost feels like you are eating in someone's house. Great for vegetarians and vegans cause their refried beans are made without lard and they have Tofu as a protein option in several dishes.

Found this place in Cambria and as a vegan it was hard to find a place that would have food for me. This place has a wonderful tofu taco that people should try.

Went there while visiting Big Sur. It is a really small restaurant. As an appetizer, the staff gave us free chips and salsa. We ordered 2 Tacos with rice and beans. The food was okay, but the portion was small. There is a parking lot behind the shopping complex and you can also use the street parking.

While this is definitely a casual, "hole-in-the-wall" little place the food and service were fantastic. The salsa is made in-house by the owner, very flavorful. The chips were good and could have used some salt (but hey, that's why there's salt on the table). I had two tacos, shredded chicken and shredded beef. The chicken was moist though didn't have a lot of flavor (added the salsa for some zip). The shredded beef was well cooked, the greens, cheese and radishes gave it a nice flavor. The tortillas were doubled and though the tacos were stuffed, the tortillas held it all. Beer was ice cold. Don't expect a lot from the dinning room, this is a tiny little pop and son restaurant with a big flavor.

Medusa is the best Mexican food place I've ever eaten at. The fajitas, homemade chips and salsa are amongst so much on that menu that is delicious. Our top top when we go back to visit.
