Paso Robles: Finca; restaurant review

 101 South

Finca 

1803 Spring St., (805) 369-2308.  M-Sat 11am-8:30pm.

The casual Finca restaurant operates inside an 1800s farmhouse that was originally part of a popular town nursery.  Operated by owners who previously ran La Taquiza, a Michelin Guide listed restaurant in Napa, this spot is perfect for a quick meal.  Step into the lovely little cottage and place your order at the counter.

Using fresh local ingredients, the Finca menu highlights Baja- and Sonoran-style Mexican food with a special emphasis on wood-grilled seafood and carne asada.  The pork belly chile verde taco is full of flavor, and the guacamole is served with housemade corn chips.  Nachos, tacos filled with either beer-battered fish or shrimp, and oak-wood-grilled oysters are among some other enticing options.   A mixed-fruit agua fresca changes regularly.

A few tables are available inside, but most of the seating is outside on a verandah and amid the gardens.  A table-top fly deflecting fan is provided, works, and is a hoot.

  1. The fly fan seems to be efficient. I couldn't see a single fly flying around.
    The tacos 🌮 looks yummy.
