I'm never disappointed when I come to eat here. I had the camarones a la diabla and agua de jamaica. Both were delicious! The sauce on the camarones is spicy but not overwhelming and the shrimp are big. Their aguas frescas are also great. I finished my drink and thought about getting more, when our server came by without me saying anything. It's like she read my mind. She was very attentive and kind. My daughter had the kid's quesadilla and an agua de piña. She kept saying how delicious it was. Toddlers are picky, so the fact she said that of both things is genuine. My husband had the camarones al mojo de ajo and he stated they were some of the best he's had. I feel like this is a hidden gem, and we will try to come more often. read more

El Michoacano - Camarones a la diabla - Mexican Near Me - Greenfield, California

Love the camarones ala niabla with tortillas a Mano ,good service on the table to,I was very hungry

Fantastic location for dinner. Clean and friendly seating area. Was raining so outside area closed. Food was great. Our first visit so we only got to sample a few items. Prices are fair and portions are appropriate for the prices. Burritos and tostadas were sampled on our trip as well as a guac side order. All made fresh. Chili Verde was my test for a quality restaurant. Was made perfectly. Our order was for pickup. The friendly waitress took our orders quickly and offered us chips and salsa while we waited. Nice touch. The guac side order was beautifully presented in a round chip presentation with the guac in the center. Something I have not seen from expensive Mexican restaurants. Took 10 mins for all our food to be made and we were off. Was traveling and stayed at the Yanks RV park nearby. Look forward to eating here again when we return to the area. read more

A small and older business, but very clean. The service is great, the menu is varied and the food is delicious! A good place to stop for lunch if traveling the 101 corridor between Salinas and Paso Robles. The chili verde and al pastor burritos are very good and reasonably priced! read more

Good service and food. The cheese enchilada and Camaron is fresh.Husband always wants to order here for Mexican food because it's authentic.

We just spent the day at the Arroyo Seco Gorge (which is amazing by the way) and we all started craving some Mexican food. We were driving through Greenfield and looked up the different restaurants around. Not many popped up and El Michoacano was the first Mexican restaurant listed so we decided to try it out! Woah! So, so good. It's a little hole in the wall on the corner. You walk inside and it isn't very big, maybe 10 tables or so. You seat yourself and they bring you a menu or look at the menu on the wall. There is a fridge in the corner with a selection of beers and soft drinks. They also have a fountain drink machine. The menu has your "normal" Mexican dishes plus a lot of seafood options. We were hungry so we ordered a lot of food. Chicken fajitas, Chile Verde, 7 Mares soup, Abalone tostadas, and ceviche. Everything was amazing and fresh. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had and the prices were reasonable. If I ever find myself in Greenfield again, I will eat here again. read more

Excellent food and service! One of the best authentic Mexican food spots in all of California read more

I thought Greenfield was the place you go to experience an earthquake since it has around 600 earthquakes a year... but can you imagine my delight when I discovered El Michoacano? Here you can experience amazing mexican sea food. I had the prawns, garlic in butter with rice and beans. The prawns were fresh and tasty - but the garlic!! The garlic fried in the butter with the prawns!! I enjoyed the garlic more than the prawns. The chef has an interesting way of cooking the garlic - he does not peel it. I have read recipes where the directions say, "Don't peel the garlic" - but I always chickened out. "How barbaric!", I thought. Well, I think there is a reason for cooking the garlic in the peel... it tastes better! They also serve a deep fried fish and a number of seafood cocktails (non-alcoholic okay?) which look interesting. Next time I go, I'll have one of those seafood cocktails and a deep fried fish. I saw other patrons enjoying the fish and cocktails and when I saw what they had my head and my stomach said, "We are coming back to Greenfield!" read more

El Michoacano - Mexican Near Me - Greenfield, California

Found this little local gem on our way home from the SLO area. It's right off 101 and plenty of easy parking in the lot. We had a little of everything, including some tacos and burritos. All the food was delicious and authentic! Service was prompt and friendly. I really enjoy small spots like these. Michoacano is a gem! I'd definitely come back if we're coming through Greenfield again! And will try Camarones al Mojo de Ajo next time! read more

Excellent meal! We were debating between McDonald's or something different for a stopping point on the long way to socal. I'm so glad I trusted my instinct and decided on this place. Mocajete Michoacano was a bit pricy, but full of flavor with array of proteins. Lengua was the best I had, cooked perfectly to bring out the godly tender juicy and gooey imaginable. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

My family and I have been enjoying this restaurant for about 25 years now... this family owned business is great! The flavor of food and salsa are amazing! Every time I have friends or family from out of the area this is the restaurant I bring them to. The service is friendly and they treat everyone like family. Wish I could give this place a 10 star review read more

I think this place is authentic because it was full and only one other couple than us were gringos. It was all Latino. And all of us looked happy. There is no atmosphere or decoration, but the food more than makes up for it. Everything was fresh and delicious, the service is friendly, and the choices were wonderful. If I'm this way again, I will be back. read more

Tasty, but seemingly expensive for the portions that accomodate those tastes.

The Molcajete Michoacano is new and it's so delicious! You can chose wether you want shrimp or no shrimp. The one with shrimp is amazing. It comes with an order of rice and beans on the side as well as tortillas. 10/10 recommend when you stop by. read more

Great food , service, price and quick; exactly what we were looking for. My sister and are taking our niece on a California Mission Trip; visiting as many missions as possible and needed a lunch stop. I had the carne asada. It came with caramelized onions, rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, French fries and tortillas. The meat was flavorful and tender. My sister had fajitas with meat that was also tender and delicious. Our niece had rice and beans (she's 9 what can I say), and they were "great." If you're looking for great Mexican food, this is the place. read more

This is a very pleasant and accommodating place to eat. The food is quite good and the service is excellent. I was part of a large group and we walked in unannounced. No problem! They were glad to see us, got us drinks and took our orders promptly, and the food was darn good. Even pretty authentic! If you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant and good value, this is an excellent choice. I was not expecting it to be as good as it is! And the price was right. read more

FANTASTIC * DELICIOUS * CLEAN + FRIENDLY I had a carne asada burrito (they make it without rice n beans inside, REAL mexicano style) and a pulpo tostada. Both were delicious, fresh, and ready very fast. I also enjoyed a horchata from the beverage machine, not as good as homemade of course but fine. TOP NOTCH SALSA and a welcoming atmosphere made this spot dynamite after almost three days in the Ventana Wilderness. THANK YOU EL MICHOACANO nos vemos la proxima vez! read more

I ordered the carne asada and the presentation was great. Carne was tender and very good flavor. The rice and beans were very bland Wife ordered camarones al mo jo ajo and they were very good again except for rice and beans Good service read more

Not fresh, messed up my order and fought about it even when I was nice the girls got defensive. Apparently, customers aren't always right even though I was and proved it. The beans, rice, salsa and everything with no flavor and old. 90% lettuce very stingy on everything else. Go to The Plaza across the street or better than all go to La Potranca in King City, CA. read more

I came to this spot because I exited of the last exit of greenfield. My husband and I were starving I seen there was a Mexican restaurant. I order a shrimp fajitas and my husband order enchiladas. I regret going there the rice was from days back you can taste it and the beans look , tasted nasty. I am Mexican so I know when beans and rice are fresh. The shrimp had no flavor and the enchiladas were nasty I told my husband the the can sauce was better than the sauce they put lol. I regret eating there it was expensive too. I do not recommend this place at all . are bill was 50.49 read more

Delicious food all around - and we were eyeing the huge shrimp laden cocktails and ceviche being delivered to other tables. Also excellent service and our server brought me a little sample of menudo - what a fascinating and scrumptious treat! We will be back! read more

Outstanding Restuarant!!!! Food and service were better than 5 star. Very cute little town, lots of people out and and about and saw quite a few people riding horses through town. Seemed like a mostly Latino population which is why the food was very authentic, this is the real deal. Don't miss this little jewel. I will stop here whenever I am in the area. read more

Great find easy off-on highway 101. Very fresh Mexican seafood, well prepared. Fast attentive service. Reminds of small places along Yucatan beaches. Excellent authentic ceviche - shrimp, octopus. Washed down with cold Mexican beer, accompanied by Telemundo on TV and current Mexican pop songs. All clientele speaking Spanish -- we were only gringos.
