- LLuv2eatoutvipSan Diego •41 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI have been wanting to go here for a while and was it worth the wait! We came to celebrate two friends bdays and they really made it special for us. They greeted us with a delicious Chicken and Rice soup with green lentils that had so much flavor it was a real treat! 3 of the 4 of us had cocktails and they were as tasty as they were beautiful! We shared some small plates including 2 Peruvian Rolls (like Sushi but with a Peruvian flair) and they were both delicious! Rory was our server and we all agreed 10 out of 10 stars for service. If you are contemplating a visit to Mistura, I highly recommend you go!More infoMisturaPrice: Expensive• Peruvian• San Luis Obispo•4.7

Discover San Luis Obispo
San Luis Obispo's city council has maintained a ban on drive-throughs for any restaurant within city limits since 1982. This helps to make the restaurant scene one that prizes fresh ingredients, classic cooking styles, and a variety of cuisines. The vegetarian and vegan restaurants are among the most popular, making the most of the area's high value for fresh produce. Most of the rest of the restaurants, which feature farm-to-table ingredients, fresh seafood, and a host of international flavors, also offer several vegetarian options. Delis and Mediterranean restaurants also feature the freshness of San Luis Obispo in unique and delicious ways.
