    Grilled fish tacos
    Julie T.

    Great location for an easy, casual bite to eat for lunch. For dine in, you seat yourself at a table to be served and they also have takeout. We tried the fish tacos and the bean and cheese burrito- both were delicious and did not disappoint. The service was friendly and the environment inside the restaurant is pleasant. Prices feel a little high, but overall the food was good!

    Has to be "GOOD" being located in da South Side of Salinas, CA... - Complimentary chip and salsa / GOOD / PRICE IS JUST RIGHT. - Birria Tacos had good flavor. Kind of soggy though. Would be way more bomb if crisp up a little more so you can actually pick up without disintegrating. -Staff was cool. We had a larger than normal party (13 deep) and they were able to accommodate. Was attentive and got our entire order correct the 1st time. we were able to get a few drink refills along the way. IMPRESSIVE....LOL -Not a bad spot to eat at if your find yourself in the Salinas for whatever reason....

    Comfortable spot in South Salinas next to Nob Hill. Choose between takeout and table service. Service was friendly and fast. And these are some of the freshest, best tasting fish tacos we've had in a long time! Everything was on point... Can't wait to return and try more!

    My expectations were high for this place. Located in downtown Salinas, where they grow a significant portion of California's produce, I expected them to have fresh meat, vegetables, chips, salsa, everything... The food was ok, but compared to other taquerias, this food tasted like it was cooked earlier then reheated. (The food also came out a lot faster than I expected.) Also there was no salsa bar. I expected a full salsa bar since the crops are literally grown just a few miles away. I ordered huevos con chorizo and a carne asada burrito. The chips were a bit stale. They were sitting under a heat lamp. The staff was friendly and fast. They came back to check on us every 10 minutes. Lots of sitting and car parking. It's a good place to visit if you are charging your car, but I won't detour to visit this place again.

    Opened Super Burrito because I didn't get to the meat when biting it.

    First timer, Got the Super Burrito......Super Disappointed. Al Pastor was dry like it was leftovers, the burrito looked sloppy, and it had too much beans and rice. I'm not 100% sure what comes in a SUPER but in this burrito it had lots of Beans and Rice, not enough dried up Al Pastor, lettuce, light sour cream, light cheese, and that's it! I won't be returning! Here's the pic of the inside of the burrito.

    My cousin recommended this place since this is their go-to Mexican spot in South Salinas. I was a bit worried since the reviews weren't super great and I know Salinas probably has high standards for Mexican food knowing the demographic. We ordered a take out order and I picked it up for them. The girl who helped me was nice. It was ready when I got there so it was a quick pick up. She also offered salsa in which I asked for both. They were all good, and definitely loved the spicier red one. My wet Al pastor burrito was honestly pretty filling and delicious! I was surprised! My partner liked his torta however, because it was a to-go order, it was a bit soggy after being inside the take out containers. I'd order from here again after my experience.

    Had to wait for medication at nobhill so I came here and SO glad I did ! Im around there all the time and never went in. Staff friendly complimentary chips and salsa are always a win and they had a blue zone menu! Im vegetarian so I'll be coming in to try more of that menu.

    Last time I ate hear was six years ago and I'm kinda sorry I went back. So hears my 2022 update. It simply has not changed except the now steep prices. I believe everything is canned or packaged except for the obvious produce. The interior is bland as the food, my table rocked back and forth a quarter inch with every cut of my wet burrito. Service was cold and machine like. It was work to get a smile going. For all the rest, please read my review from 6yrs. ago. Last words...taco truck! yes please.

    Stopped by Guadalajara Grill after a Spartan race. We were really hungry for some good Mexican food and this place didn't disappoint. I highly recommend the shrimp cocktail! The shrimp were delicious and fresh. As pictured you can see the portion size was huge and that was just the medium (also available in a large). I also ordered the 2 cheese enchilada entree with red sauce that included rice and beans. The tortilla could have been better - the edges were a little hard but other than that, I enjoyed my meal. My boyfriend raved about the fish tacos he ordered. He said the fish was fresh and tasty. I should also note that the place was very clean and the staff was inviting/friendly.

    My husband and my favorite place to eat. His last night alive he picked up our dinner from there. It was delicious as alway! That night our rental house burned down killing him. It was awful. Tonight will be my first time eating there since Feb 11 2021. I can't wait

Once you step inside, the vibe shifts instantly into a perfectly clean, well-organized Mexican eatery that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've been let in on a local secret. The food is quite frankly phenomenal. We're talking enchiladas cooked to perfection, delicious tortillas, quesadillas boasting that glorious, milky-stretchy cheese we all dream about, and bold salsas that bring just enough zing to make you reach for your napkin (and maybe a glass of water). Even the staples like refried beans and rice were flawless, leaving us with absolutely nothing to fault. If you're looking for a meal with enough soul and spice to make you sweat, this is a must-visit!

Chilaquiles 9/10 Made perfectly, spicy, and full of flavor. The beans are always great soft with cheese and super comforting. Only bummer was the eggs ordered 3 sunny side up but no runny yolk. Still amazing overall. Chicken Enchiladas 8.5/10 Really good, would definitely order again. The sauce and chicken were on point, tons of flavor. Just wish it had a little more texture everything was a bit soft, maybe some veggies or a little crisp on the tortilla. Still super nostalgic and tasty. Service was quick and friendly like always. The vibe hasn't changed since I was a kid super nostalgic, and I love that.

    If you know me, you know I LOVE Mexican food. I read an article about this restaurant with rave…read morereviews and decided this is where I wanted to go on Mother's Day. Drove two hours from the Bay Area to get there and it was totally with the trip. My son got the mole negro and I got the chile verde. Everything on both plates was authentic, delicious, and AMAZING. My son tried my chile verde and said it was the best he's ever tasted and I agreed. They were super busy because it was Mother's Day, but we were seated after a short wait and our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Several times during our meal someone checked to see if we needed anything. Not going to lie, we were a bit intimidated when we pulled up as there were no other non-Hispanic people in the large crowd outside waiting to be seated. I told my son that meant the food was definitely going to be good, but I was worried about how we would be received considering the political climate these days, but it wasn't an issue. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu.
