20 Mule Cafe

The food was fantastic especially the cheeseburger, the surviving read great the waitress was so sweet, and overall the restaurant was a chill beautiful place, I recommend.

Get off the freeway folks!!!I came in for a late breakfast and loved the interior decor - lots of years of collecting here. I was the only customer and the woman waiting on me was totally aware of where I was in the ordering, drinking coffee, eating, ready to go process. I had a Western Omelette that was really good - definitely had a Mexican twist with the guacamole. If you want a break from the road and eat in an authentic local restaurant, this place is it.

Grandpa and the Roadkill Band perform on the first Wednesday of each month. Burgers, sandwiches, Mexican food, and more are on the menu.

Iconic restaurant across the street from the 20 Mule Team Museum in Boron. It seems to be an older establishment. The menu is American and Mexican cuisine. There is something for everyone here.I had the Taco Salad. The flour tortilla bowl was freshly fried, crispy, and still warm. The ground beef in the salad appeared to be a hamburger patty that was broken up, not highly seasoned but tasting very flavorful. This restaurant is known for their burgers and I can see why based on the ground beef in the salad. (By now, I was kind of wishing that I had ordered a burger instead.) The rest of the taco salad was perfectly acceptable with fresh lettuce, pico de gallo, and avocado. A torta with carnitas was the daily special. The sandwich was very filling, with savory, good tasting carnitas. The meat was tender, too. There was plenty of sandwich for another meal. Salsa and chips were good. The homemade salsa tasted fresh and had a nice mild chile heat. Definitely get the chips and salsa as an appetizer.Service was quick and efficient. The dining area can accommodate larger parties. The ambiance had an older, well worn establishment vibe to it. This place definitely warrants a return trip especially in conjunction with a tour of the museum across the street. I will certainly try a burger the next time.

My sister's boyfriend told us about this place and it did not disappoint.This place was 10/10! Clean environment.Friendly staff (in person only, bc over the phone while placing an order to pick up- the cashier sounded a little rude). While paying we saw how the cooks were actually cooking from scratch. I would definitely recommend if you are passing by Boron. My sister ordered us a breakfast combo plate each and the portions were giantly delicious.

Two taco dinners chicken tacos dry over cooked rice to much salt it was taco Tuesday and we still spent 30 + dollars for two dinners what the hell the waitress was more concerned with the baby that was in the restaurant then the paying customers get a gripe and pay attention to the paying customers just a few days ago we were giving ketchup for the chicken strips really didn't even ask what we wanted maybe we should just go to the barrel at lest you know what to expect I've gone at least twenty times and out of the twenty maybe two somewhat good meals

First Wednesday of the month has music provided by Grandpa and the Roadkill Band. Menu includes Mexican food, burgers, sandwiches and more.

What they lack in vegetarian options they makeup for in their amazing customer service and quality.I've been here a few times and I do have to say that they make one of the most delicious burgers I've had from a diner in a long time! Their chili is delicious too!! I took it and topped my fries and made myself some amazing chili cheese fries!!I will say that I'm disappointed by their "Vegetarian" options. The vegetarian burrito is a bean and cheese burrito with rice and bell peppers. Their idea of a vegetarian omelette is the same thing! I think offering some mushroom and broccoli would be a great idea!! They also currently don't have a vegetarian burger option. As a chef myself I feel they could make a few little changes that would increase their overall revenue and food sales substantially! The customer service is great!! The ambience is good and from the looks, the restaurant itself is clean!

Hidden Gem! We stopped here to eat on our way from Las Vegas to Paso Robles! It was so good that we stopped again on the way back home to eat! The people were friendly and service was great!

We made a special detour to this restaurant while passing by Boron due to the positive reviews. Perhaps we should have ordered omelets, which seem to be the specialty here, but I am at a loss how people are referring to this place as a hidden gem! Although the service was helpful and friendly, this restaurant was **not clean.** (See photo.) Of 2 meals our party ordered, one was OK (basic diner food). The other was a patty melt with cheese that was not melted, no onions and a tiny patty, leaving lots of empty bread. Onion rings ($2 upcharge) literally had no onion inside and should have been advertised as "Rings of Batter." The kitchen is visible from the dining area and I could see it was clean (at least the visible part was clean). However, what I saw in the bathroom subtracted a star from what could have been a 2-star review. I feel like retching when I recall this meal.
