    The ambience of this restaurant is lovely - very Mediterranean vibes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The falafel and lentil soup were amazing but the shawarma need a bit more sauce, which you can add!

    hummus

    Food was amazing.. Chicken Shawarma was 10/10 hummus was good as well.. baklava is was amazing. Customer service was very good even during rush hour the employee didn't rush us! Took her time :) me and my family ate everything.

    $13.00 Brown old salad and NO dressing.

    The food here is usually great but today my salad was brown! And they sent it plain no dressing. When I called they just said sorry there is nothing we can do. We live in the salad bowl do better. And no one wants to eat a salad with no dressing. Basically just took $13.00 and threw it in the trash. Terrible terrible service.

    Flavorful, Fresh, and Full of Heart - Dametra Fresh Mediterranean in Monterey If you're craving bold Mediterranean flavors with a side of genuine hospitality, Dametra Fresh is the place. Every dish we tried tasted like it came straight from a family kitchen--fresh, vibrant, and crafted with care. The meal kicked off with creamy Tzatziki and smooth Hummus, served with perfectly warm, fluffy pita that we couldn't stop dipping. The Falafel was crisp on the outside and soft inside, bursting with herbs and spices. The Chicken Shawarma was juicy and seasoned to perfection, and the Chicken Kabob had that irresistible chargrilled flavor. For the plant-based option, the Ultimate Vegan Delight lived up to its name--colorful, hearty, and full of flavor, not just filler. To end on a sweet note, the Baklava was a dream--flaky layers of pastry, rich honey, and just the right crunch of nuts. The space was bright and spotless, with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. Staff were kind, attentive, and seemed to genuinely enjoy making people feel at home. Dametra Fresh isn't just a quick bite--it's the kind of place you remember and recommend. Five stars, no hesitation. We will be back!

    The two guys that were there were great and very enthusiastic, they really made you want to try the food! I went with a friend, it was our first time there since we are new to the area and we're trying new places. The restaurant is nice with a large window. To sit at while you eat. The food was soooo good!! I was weary to get anything at first but sooo glad I did!! Definitely will be a favorite spot for me in the area! 9/10!

    Amazing food!!

    Dametra Fresh Mediterranean is a mandatory stop when we visit the Monterey area. This place is the perfect fast-casual lunch spot, especially if you want great food but are limited on time. On our way out of town last week, we enjoyed an amazing lunch at Dametra Fresh. I love the "Plate It" option where your pita comes on the side, and you get to pick your choice of meat and a few sides. The ingredients are always fresh. The portions are generous. And, the food is authentic and tasty. Add this place to your California Coast restaurant rotation. Enjoy!

    The food here tasted really great! You can tell that it's fresh, and their sauces are really tasty. I recommend their falafel, it was so well cooked! The food was a bit pricey... but it is Monterey after all. Their service was quick, and it's a cute little place. I recommend!

    Wow! Amazing eggplant (smoky, and tasty). The gyro plate was delish with the lamb and beef being tender and the rice was flavored underneath. The spanakopita was flaky and also packed with delicious inside spinach and feta. Service was immediate and wow what a fun dinner time atmosphere. They encouraged us to dance with the live music. The musicians and singers and service was exceptional. I'd come back again!

    So many burnt pieces of gyro
    Katherine T.

    This was a huge disappointment. Like literally. Portions were huge. Smelled great in the bag and I was so excited to eat here. But then there were so many burnt pieces. Got the gyro plate and also kebab. I thought there were mushrooms or something because they were so deformed and burnt looking. The sauces were also not great. Tahini tasted off. Garlic aioli was odd, not like other garlic sauces at other places. Spicy sauce was not spicy, and my spicy tolerance is low and I thought that. The hummus was so...thick and dry? Not creamy. and tasted so much of olive oil and not in a good way. The babaganoush was...almost kind of translucent and jelly? I quite enjoyed it as it was lighter but also not like any babaganoush I've had. The pita was also meh, not very light and fluffy. I would've given it 2 stars but food still tasted decent and portion sizes were good so upping to 3 because if I was starving, I would eat it if it was in front of me as my only choice vs fast food.

    Chicken and beef were dry like they were days old. The Greek salad was delicious. Pita bread was hard.

Overall, the burgers and salad were satisfying, and the restaurant had a great casual burger-joint vibe. Starting with the Works Burger, which was the highlight of the meal. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned, and the combination of avocado, bacon, and sauce added a lot of flavor. Everything worked well together and made the burger feel indulgent. That said, it could have used more mushrooms, and it leaned a bit too heavy on the sauce. The bun was also a little soft, if it had been toasted or slightly charred, it would have held up better to the sauce and added a nice texture and flavor contrast. Next was the Copeland Mushroom Burger. This one had a juicy patty topped with mushrooms and grilled onions. The amount of mushrooms was good, and the cheese paired really nicely with the toppings. The grilled onions were a nice touch and didn't overpower the burger at all. While it was solid and enjoyable, it didn't feel particularly unique, more like a burger you could recreate at home. Similar to the Works Burger, it was a bit too saucy and could have benefited from a toasted or charred bun for more structure and flavor. The Grilled Chicken Salad was excellent. It came with generous portions of grilled chicken and bacon, plus half an avocado. Everything tasted fresh, and it felt like a healthy, well-balanced option. No complaints here, definitely a great choice if you're looking for a lighter dish. Service was fast and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was nice. It definitely has that classic burger-joint feel. Overall, a solid spot with good food and a good vibe.

It's got that classic, unpretentious taqueria feel--high ceilings, blue rafters, and some cool murals on the walls. Definitely not the place you go for a "scene," but it's spacious and chill. The food hits exactly how you'd expect. I grabbed a Super Taco and a Super Quesadilla. Both were pretty hefty, had plenty of meat, and didn't skimp on the extras like guac and sour cream. The quesadilla especially was a massive, cheesy brick--definitely felt it afterward. Service was quick and the staff was pretty low-key. You just order at the counter, grab your chips and salsa from the bar, and find a spot. It's a solid, reliable option if you're looking to get full for a decent price without any of the downtown Monterey fuss. Good spot to just zone out and eat.

I ordered the chicken tamales and they were packed with meat and not dry at all, definitely recommend those. I also got a super quesadilla that was really loaded, which I appreciated, but it got soggy pretty fast and kind of fell apart while eating. The cheese wasn't very melted and didn't hold it all together. The menu was pretty large too, so there's definitely something for everyone. It's a solid spot with generous portions and pricing and pretty good tamales.

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.

At the time I stopped in, it was very quiet compared to previous trips, with no waiting to order and our pick of seats. I ordered a Ham Breakfast Burrito to try something different and it was fantastic. The tortilla had a nice char on it before being wrapped around the plentiful ham, potatoes, egg and cheese in its swaddling embrace. Each bite was fresh and flavorful, even beforr adding some of the house made salsa, which added an even bigger burst of flavor and some heat. I ate 1/2 on site, and rewrapped the other half and enjoyed that while at the golf course.
