    I come here multiple times a week and it's been great until the last two when they started using cheaper cut of meat and all you get is ligaments that you can't even chew. I really hope they stop doing this because they'll lose customers over this. We're supposed to get food that we can eat not spit out.

    If you've been to the original Salinas location, you know the legend--and I am so happy to report that the Marina location at The Dunes lives up to the hype The star of the show is, and always will be, the handmade flour tortillas The new spot in Marina is clean, modern, and has a great outdoor seating area if the weather is nice. The service is fast, though it still gets busy during the lunch rush. Go check it out

    I have not yet tried any of the locations despite living in the area on my life. When they brought a new location to Marina I was excited to try. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre Mexican food. I got a carne asada burrito and the meat was a cheap cut with not much flavor. The portions were generous for both the rice and meat. The tortilla was indeed made freshly but tasted like they put too much flour on it and kind of tasted artificial. The price point was fair for the quality of food and the staff was friendly. I may go back to try another protein but they need to figure out the tortilla formula or making!

    I love their handmade tortillas and quality ingredients. A great steal for their burritos!

    This place is bomb. Fresh tortillas. The pork crackling and poblano pepper burritos are great!

    Price was reasonable and tortillas pretty good. Carne asada and carnitas were tasteless. How do they do that? Salsa was also tasteless.

    Salinas location is top notch also, but I prefer the Monterey location.

    Vacationing with my fam in Moss Landing and searched for breakfast burritos and oh my god!…read more The burritos weren't massively sized which I appreciated, but holy smokes did they pack a flavor punch! We got 4. 2 bacon 1 chorizo and 50/50 bacon/ham. Top 5 breakfast burritos I ever had. They have a green crema salsa that is mild/medium heat that is the most delicious sauce I have ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant. Service was very nice and friendly as well. Place looks like a happening spot for dinner and drinks with a full bar next door. Im definitely coming back. Maybe manana lol

I am not a big meat eater and they reccomeded some different chicken dishes that were amazing. The prices are also reasonable. I have tried the tacos, enchiladas and burritos and everything was good. My favourite has been the burrito loaded up with everything. What I also like is the salsa bar where they have a variety of different salsas as well as raddish and some other items including chips. They even had Mexican drinks available. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and gets pretty busy. I have even met some nice regulars who I enjoyed talking with. This is a family friendly restaurant with good food and great prices. Definitely one of the better places to eat at in Marina.

Although we only got a couple appetizers, I wanted to highlight the amazing service! We got 2 complimentary glasses of sparkling champagne at the front desk. The servers were super friendly and accommodating as we had our small pup with us. I would come back just for the garlic fries itself. Thick, garlicky with a mix of soggy and crunchy (just my type, judge me LOL). Would love to return and have a full meal!

I stood for at least ten minutes waiting for someone to come to the hostess area, despite plenty of wait staff and bartenders making eye contact. Maybe I'm invisible. When she decided to come with a drink in her hand, she then let me know the patio was full so my pup and I would have to wait, no worries so we went for a walk and noticed the patio was indeed not full. When we got to sit it was beautiful so you can't beat the views. I ordered a coffee since it was chilly out and it was luke warm despite the cool mug it came in. I asked if there was maybe a microwave or new pot brewing and was told no and not offered another cup. Okie dokie. We had the pork, brussels, cesar salad and clam chowder. Clam chowder was about as warm as my coffee and they went heavy on the cream and the consistency was gravy like, and while they definitely didn't short you on the clams, I needed some seasoning, it was like a roux with clams and potatoes, definitely disappointing for Monterey County and $19. Cesar salad had whole salted anchovies and as a fish lover I'm not complaining, but my partner wanted to have nothing to do with it. Personally, I could have done without the lemon rind, but I ate the whole thing since my chowder wasn't happening. Hubby loved his pork, although I personally wouldn't eat anything that pink. Came with some greens that had some tang and bacon. Brussels were the one thing we all agreed were delicious. Overall so much potential but service was impressively unimpressive. We will be back because there are very few places that make dogs feel just as welcome, we will just make sure we have a couple hours.
