1889 The Brunch Spot is hands-down one of the best finds in the San Luis Obispo area. Let’s talk about the $2 tacos—absolute game changers! Packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and that perfect street taco vibe, these are easily the best thing to hit SLO in a long time. You could honestly build your day around them.
The outdoor patio has this laid-back, Southwest feel that instantly transports you to a rustic Texas ranch. Sitting there, staring out across the street at the old feed store and weathered silos, you can almost hear the tin roofs creak and feel the charm of small-town Americana. The ambiance is pure comfort, with a mix of string lights, cozy seating, and country tunes setting the mood just right.
As “Your Man” by Josh Turner plays on the local radio, and a few Lainey Wilson tracks roll in, the whole place just radiates chill, country vibes. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and all that matters is good food, good music, and good company.

Ground beef enchiladas were more like chuck roast chunks. Food was awlful and a waste of $50. We are local and wanted to support our local restaurant, unfortunately it was a big disappointment.Hopefully someone will teach anyone of the 4 cook’s that were in the kitchen how to cook items from the menu properly. Sadly we will not be...
Read moreI was traveling with friends to San Luis Obispo and Google Maps took us on a weird and strange route. We hoped to find a lunch spot around noon, but we found ourselves in a wilderness with no restaurants available. We finally found civilization in Santa Margarita around 1 pm, and J's Country Kitchen appeared. We stopped, but it turned out to be much more than just a place to eat. It was a quiet, local spot with excellent service and food! Our sandwiches were great, and our server was attentive and friendly. The experience was so positive that we will seek it out next...
