On a porch for lunch! Cocuyo's Restaurant in Soledad is an outstanding Mexican restaurant in the…read moreSalinas Valley (Soledad). Passing through on our way for a Cal Poly visit, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The chicken and shrimp tacos were outstanding--but the real star? The homemade corn tortillas. Fresh, warm, and full of flavor, they took everything to another level. It's a small spot, with big taste. Friendly, relaxed outdoor seating, and exactly the kind of authentic stop you hope to find on the road.

TL:DR - great spot…read more Service - friendly, efficient Food Shrimp tacos are delicious Fish is good but shrimp were my favorite. Side of beans and rice - very mild. Not your typical refried beans. Tortilla and salads - we can at opening at the chips were still hot! Awesome

Stopped here on my way home from Monterey to SoCal…read more Cute little spot!. Looked clean and welcoming. The hostess/waitress was super nice and greeted us as soon as we walked in. The free chips and salsa were a good start. Salsa wash fresh and chips were crispy. Al Pastor Torta: 8/10 Bread was fresh and nicely toasted on the outside. The torta was very good except not a 10 because I am used to the style of tortas in OC which are full and mighty. The dipped Torta with chorizo: 8/10 Very filling with good flavors. At the end you basically get a side salad from all the droppings - which I finished off for my bf :) Would come here again if I'm driving by. The food was better than expected for not being familiar with the area!

Okay for a restaurant on the way, but quality at or below average. My fried chicken was too salty,…read moreway too salty. The soup was also bland, the burger patty very unseasoned and tasteless. It did the job though, as the job was to feed us, but wasn't like OMG that was some restaurant! The vibe is nice, a bit dark inside though, and too much of a bar vibe than a restaurant.

Nice location, clean, staff were friendly and very helpful. Beautiful mural inside the restaurant.read more

We've been to many Panda Express locations, unfortunately this one is terrible. I was so excited…read morewhen we heard they were opening one in Soledad, I've tried eating here about 6 times now. Everytime has gotten worse. The food is not cooked the same as other locations. The chicken is always chewy, either overcooked or old. My kids won't eat there anymore either because the last time they got sick from the orange chicken. Hopefully management can take these complaints seriously.

I had a really uncomfortable experience at the service window recently. The employee helping me, a…read moreheavier set woman who was wearing a black face mask and a faded zip up jacket, was extremely rude during the entire interaction. I was trying to hand over cash, but my left arm currently has a bandage so I could not reach very well. I was doing my best to pass the money with my right hand, but she made no effort to meet me halfway or help at all. Because of that, a quarter slipped and dropped. I even offered to step out and pick it up, and she told me no. What really stood out was what happened next. After giving me my receipt, she dropped my dime behind it in a way that felt very intentional. It came across as passive aggressive and honestly disrespectful. At no point did she show any understanding or basic courtesy, even though it was obvious I was struggling to reach. It was a simple transaction that turned into a frustrating experience because of her attitude. Customer service should at the very least be respectful, and unfortunately that was not the case here.
