FINCA
Paso Robles
A casual Mexican meal at Paso Market Walk. Wood-grilled cooking and a choice of tacos and burritos make this a useful lunch stop before exploring downtown.

Wood-fired pizza made with cold-fermented dough anchors this downtown dinner spot. Share pies and savory sides when you want an evening meal with cocktails close to City Park.
A vineyard tasting paired with a proper lunch. The estate café offers a full menu alongside tableside tastings, making this a single planned stop east of downtown Paso.
Reservations are recommended. This is an out-of-downtown vineyard visit; use the Linne Road address and check arrangements for larger groups.

Allow extra time for deep-dish baking; daily quantities can sell out.
A family-run regional pizzeria serving pizza, calzones and Italian-style sides. Use the Higuera shop for an easy meal or takeout at the south end of SLO.
This listing is the Higuera location, not the separate SLO Ranch shop.

Nearby stop in Atascadero; games and food are separate from beer purchases.
