We were visiting Monterey and craving good local tacos. After checking Yelp, we tried Deliciosos Tacos and we're so glad we did! It's a small spot with 7 tables inside. It's clean and the staff was friendly. They're cash-only, but there's an ATM on site. The menu is straightforward and reasonably priced. We ordered the carne asada super burrito, two carne asada tacos, and two carnitas tacos. Everything was excellent. The meats were well-seasoned without being salty, and nothing was greasy. The carnitas were tender inside with crispy edges. While we were eating, three other people came in to eat. We left very satisfied and will definitely be back next time we're in Monterey! read more

It is located in a small business lot between a Chinese food place and a bakery, service was fast and very friendly but they only accept cash. We had the carne asada burrito and the Al pastor tacos. Prices were not too bad and the overall flavor of the food was average, could have been a little more flavorful. Serving size was decent and I was impressed with how fast the food came out, although we were the only ones there. read more

My wife said they should put on a clinic on how to properly season taco meat! It isn't "fine dining " BUT, some of the tastiest tacos around. We were checking Yelp and found this shop downtown. Hot, tasty, and delicious. Service was great, don't need much here. Tasty! read more

Very friendly staff, however the quality was not great. Very dried carne asada, they got my order wrong as well. I asked for no cilantro/onions, and it was on everything. A plus is they do have tamarindo drink! read more

You know the tacos are authentic when every customer is greeted in Spanish. These tacos are as good as they get. And at $2.50 each they're a hell of a deal. I ended up eating 6. read more

Let me tell you, this place makes the BEST tripitas . I'm very picky when it comes to triputas because not everywhere knows how to cook or clean the triputas. The triputas here are very clean it doesn't taste like you're eating sand they are perfect not to crispy and not too soft and have a good flavor. Top it off the customer service is Great the people that work here are very sweet and nice. If you love triputas like I do come and check them out . read more

The burrito was so flavorful that I am craving it but we were just passing through town and I won't get to go back.

We wanted tasty hot Mexican food fast. Deliciosos delivered! Friendly staff.... pick up your order at the counter , bussed our own table with handy paper towels... we got a regular burrito and a couple tacos.... so good.. we will be back read more

This is my kind of place! Dumpy and delicious. I knew I liked it when I walked in and it said cash only. Check. Then, when I saw the tiny hand- written sign with the prices. I thought "This is good." When the cashier didn't even try to speak any English, I knew I struck gold. Real. Mexican. Food. Perfecto! The tacos were nice, maybe a touch greasy. I ordered the Carnitas, Pastor and Lengua. It was right off the freeway, so it was convenient. read more

I first came here when they 1st opened so many years ago...it was delicious, then something changed and I stopped going. I was craving tacos and decided to give this place a try again ! Not disappointed! Really good tacos ! I will be coming again! read more

Deliciosos Tacos - 2 tacos de asada and 2 tacos de carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Castroville, California

Very low quality meat in the tacos! Sauces are not very creative and the food is not fresh!

Solamente cash pero tienen ATM adentro. Los Tacos de asada están bien jugosos y la carnita bien picadita. Están ricos. So good the asada tacos are so juicy and meat is well chopped! They take only cash but there's an ATM inside. read more

We were on our way back home from Santa Cruz to Bakersfield and stopped here for dinner. This is definitely a spot we will be returning to, we went here based on reviews we read and almost didn't stop because we were a bit skeptical but man am I glad we did. This is definitely one of those hole in the wall places that has amazing tacos, burritos tortas and quesadillas... trust me go!! Cash only so that should speak for itself!!! IT'S AMAZING! read more

Deliciosos Tacos - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Castroville, California

A hole in the wall, with very little English, but huge amount of delicious. On exploration day trip, we were ready for lunch, and wanted to try something new. Yelp suggested the place, and we were game. Finger-licking good pretty much sums it up. I started with two tacos Asada, then added another chicken taco. My friend was more suspicious. Started with one, and then ordered another two. And... we loved it. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. I know that on our next trip to the area we'll be back, and come hungrier. They offer yellow or white tortillas. I prefer the yellow; my friend is all about white. But it's what's on top that wins the argument. Cilantro, onion, salsa reinforce the goodness, and are included with each taco. RECOMMEND WARMLY. And another point: hike in the wall or not, the AC is great and dealt very well with the hot day. read more

It is a hole in the wall it looks sketchy at first BUT OMG they are DELICIOUS!! I had 4 asada two yellow corn tortilla and two white corn tortilla both were bomb but my faves were the yellow corn ones I could be mistaken but their tortillas tasted freshly made like legit and they weren't stingy with the grilled onions which are a must ! For me with tacos I was driving back home from Big Sur and didn't wanna sit in traffic with a grumbly tummy but yes stop by !! Totally worth it !!! read more

Absolutely delicious!! Salsa was amazing, bean and cheese burrito was huge and carne asada and Horchata perfect! Very friendly service, thanked us at least 3 times. Stopped in on the way out of Monterey and what a nice change of pace from any lack luster meal costing a fortune read more

FINALLY, I found cheap and delicious Mexican food near me! :') Okay first of all, can we just talk about the price. $1.85 for a taco?! That's unbeatable around here! The tacos are on the smaller side, but they fill that thing with so much meat. Definitely get it with "everything" on it, aka pickled jalapeño, onions, and salsa. It was perfection, ugh. I only got one taco because I wasn't hungry (I just wanted to try it hehe), but I could definitely see myself getting full off 3 tacos. That's a meal for less than $6! That makes my broke college student heart very happy. read more

Small place, but good food... prices were decent as well. Would probably return if in the area again

Friendly Spanish speaking service. Great family running a clean simple place to dine. So much more than your typical corporate noisy fast food. If you can feel at home in plain environment you will fit in here. Ate the rest of our meal later in the car on the long drive. Great burrito value. read more

If your going through Castroville and are looking for some awesome burritos than this is the place. Came in for lunch today. Their menu is very limited, no crunchy tacos or taquitos or anything deep fried. You pick which kind of meat you want then you pick either taco, burrito, torta, quesadilla or combination. They only serve bottles or cans of soda and agua frescas. I had a Lengua (tongue) taco with 2 white corn tortillas. It was very good, tender and served with a lemon slice and some killer green salsa. Hubby had a chicken combination burrito. This this was massive, bigger than his forearm. It had rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, cheese, chicken. It was delicious! Served with a slice of lemon and jalapenos. It was enough for 2 people. To top it off it was cheap, only 7.00 for both! Can't beat that. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Deliciosos Tacos - Best tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Castroville, California

This place is great. The location is in a small shopping center next to a Chinese Restaurant. I was in the middle of nowhere and found this gem. I walked in and was greeted by lady behind the cashier. I proceed to order the carne asada tacos,you have a choice to order yellow corn or regular. I ordered 3 to be exact. I sat down and a couple of minutes later my tacos had arrived. 4!!! I got a free taco!!! The tortilla was warm and the meat was oh so tender. I can savor the tacos in my mouth as I write this review. The tacos where so good I had to order some to go for the husband. Definitely coming back!!!! read more

$6.00 out the door for a very good carne asada super burrito ... exceptionally friendly and fast service ... huge on a fresh toasted tortilla. Nice clean little place in a small strip mall just off the highway. I will return whenever in the area. read more

Quick stop on our way home from Monterey. Delicious and quick. The quesadilla is huge and filled with goodies beyond the meat. Tacos and burritos also were tasty. Lovely salsas too read more

Was on a road trip with my boyfriend and we stopped for gas. We searched for nearby tacos and came across this place. Hands down it was the best tacos we had thus far. We live in NY and Texas and nowhere comes close to this place. If I ever plan on visiting California again this is my first stop! read more

Really wanted to try this place but it was closed. 6pm on a Saturday, another casualty of covid i guess.

Good tacos but in over the dozen times I have been/ordered to go here they are always very tight on their salsas. Big issue with their hours, I am frequently in Castroville and lately they are always closed, drove in at 11:30am for lunch on a Monday, closed. They need to update their hours sign. Makes me wonder why they are closed so often?? My biggest gripe is that they charge you for a bag. I believe that any food service industry must provide "free" bags for their customers. Please note that when you go to any fast food restaurant or sit down restaurants they do not charge you for a bag if you order to go or take leftovers, supermarkets are not to charge you for produce bags. This place charges you. read more

Hole in the wall food but classic feel. Quite clean actually which gives a nice comfortable feel. Went with a vegetarian friend and he's picky. Like really picky. It gets annoying. But! He really enjoyed an order of vegetarian burrito. Really enjoyed it. I got a chicken burrito and we both agreed that they do their portions right. Places like chipotle, etc, you would get a mouthful of rice, or meat only. Not many places offer cheese or you just don't notice it, this place has good cheese and they use it well. It is super cheap too! Both our burritos were $7.5 each. Good deal. Will come back if I'm in the area. read more

I stop here when I'm on my bike for two tacos con pollo asado before I turn around and ride the 20+ miles home. Count on-able, cheap and really tasty. Love the soccer on the tv while I eat. read more

When we accidentally stumbled on this place, I wasn't expecting much. When I looked at their prices, it was on the more expensive side, but since we're at a rural area, I understood why. Talking about the price, it's very reasonable since they actually offer different kinds of meats from regular beef, pork, and chicken to extreme intestines and tripes. I've lived in LA for quite a while and my standards when it comes to tacos and burritos have gotten up. This place, in my opinion, has an equal level of quality, if not better, compared to Leo's tacos in LA. Service was actually also great. Lots of smiling employees. Definitely would come again when I visit here. read more

Best tacos in the area!!! Affordable and delicious, good portions. This is that kind of place you go to when you know you want a good taco and coke, and don't need anything else. read more

Great little spot for a quick meal. We stopped by after whale watching. Bring cash. They have the more exotic meat choices too: cabesa, lengua, as well as the standard choices. We liked the carnitas. read more

The best in Cali! Don't miss this amazing food. I don't work their but if I did I would take home food every day!!!!! Burrito was magical! The peppers on side were good and spicy. The shell was toasted. I am trying to figure out how to send my sister back home with one. She love it too! read more

Food is very good but they don't answer they're phone! I called 6 times because I wanted to place an Order to go. I work 10 minutes away so it's all together a 20 minute drive that leaves me 10 minutes to eat. But they don't take orders over the phone I have to wait an extra 5. Love the food but not worth the hassle. Just answer the phone or don't put your number on the front of the building if your not going to answer. It's so ridiculous. I walked in and called and they just stand there and let the phone ring it's incredibly rude just don't have a phone I don't understand. read more

I noticed this brand new business a few weeks ago on my way to Castroville. When I went in I recognized the workers right away. They've had a taco lunch truck for a few years now and it looks like they've now opened up their own brick and mortar shop. Their tacos are really really good. They give you the option of two different types of tortillas, as well as about 4 or 5 different types of meat. The tacos are super cheap, and they give you a free taco for every order bigger than two tacos. They also carry the very popular tripas tacos, which translates to tripe. They look funny but are sooo good. Not for the faint of stomach. The place is a total dive, but that completely fits. This is not gourmet but street mexican food. My wife and I got stuffed with their food for under $10 TOTAL, including drinks. The attendants are friendly and quick to serve the food. Highly recommended! I gave them 4 starts instead of 5 because they are CASH ONLY. This is probably because they are so cheap and the credit card fees would probably really hurt them. read more
