What Students Are Saying

San Luis Obispo has the best food! There are many places to eat down town but the only option for food on campus is the cafeteria and vending machines. The Cuesta Cafe is actually very good. I wat there probably 2 times a week and I am happy with what I get.

Elina from San Luis Obispo, CA

Cuesta has the main campus in SLO and they have a great cafeteria even though it is very pricey! There is a North Campus and they don't really even have a cafeteria.

Student from Atascadero, CA

Plenty of great options on and off campus

Luis from Pismo Beach, CA

the Cuesta Cafe offers delicious meals at a reasonable price.

Isabel from Shandon, CA

The campus only has food from the cafeteria, which I find to be really good, and not that expensive. San Luis itself has a HUGE variety of restaurants, with the most popular ones being downtown.

Student from California

Cuesta College has a great cafeteria on campus however, off campus in San Luis Obispo there are many dining places to choose from like:

1. Pizza Solo
2. The Habit
3. Firestone Grill

and much much more.
