    Delicious and spicy aguachile trio
    Maribel M.

    Great food very good selection of food for everyones taste, funny and great drink menu, prices where good I forgot my servers name but she had really long black hair in a ponytail super sweet and she was hustling there is a cute hot pink phone booth as soon as you go in perfect for pictures. The only thing that I didn't like was the loud live music but I get it some people like it and it probably happens on Friday and Saturday nights. If I lived in the area I would definitely come again

    Such a fun place to come and have a dinner and a drink with family and friends. Very funny and creative drinks! Live music on Saturdays, elevating the atmosphere. Service was friendly and fast!

    We had a very frustrating experience here. After being seated, we waited a long time while our server continued helping other tables that arrived after us. We weren't acknowledged properly, and communication was confusing--when we asked for water, the person who brought it said we needed to wait for a different server. It felt disorganized and unprofessional. After waiting without proper service, we decided to leave. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

    The food was great. It didn't take long to arrive. We went on a Sunday early evening and it was pretty quiet but toward the end of our dinner more people started to arrive. There are some options for food but it feels more like a place to get drink and a small bite to eat rather than actual dinner. The decor is beautiful and I love the black and red. I would definitely come again for drinks and a quick bite rather than for dinner. They offer different types of food and have a limited kids menu but I would say this is more for of age type of crowd due to it being more drink oriented and the drinks are tasty and super fun!

    We had a girls' night here and felt welcomed from the beginning, especially by the older gentleman. He made sure we had a great place to sit, checked in on us throughout the night, and made sure we had a chance to request songs. The drinks and food were great. I had the 911 sushi roll. We ordered a lot of drinks and the service was fast. You can tell the employees are making sure everyone is having a good time. We definitely would go again!

    Thomas was excellent by far my best experience for my birthday they made it special for me definitely recommend,coming back asap! On top of that the drinks were so delicious!!

    Cool wall decal. Check mark is correct!

    10/10 ambience ! I really like the music and the way the place is set up. We ordered tacos(beef, shrimp and fish), berria and guacamole. I tried their margarita(passion fruit) and it was really good ! They have live band fridays and Saturdays. Will try to go back on those days.

    Margaritas 5$ on Thursdays!!

    Love the vibes and music the drinks are the best and the food is amazinggggg they are always decorating for every holiday!!

    Ok. The food was mid. The quesabirra does NOT come with the liquid to dip in. They changed that I guess even though it was posted on Instagram two hours prior to us coming! I returned it. The Mexican sushi roll was different. Wouldn't order it again! The guacamole was fresh asf and the chicharron was light! I want to be CLEAR' ... the drinks are CUTE but... they are only 24% liquor. You will not get drunk. But they have beer and so if that's your thing then you'd be ok. For the ambiance I'd give it a 5 star. They had Mexicans singing live music which I liked! Def a younger 20's-40's crowd. Cute date spot loud asf tho. The waitresses seemed like they were short staffed but nice! Over all three star rating!

    La Gran Diabla has been opened for about a month and I've been here quite a few times to try the food. It's amazing with a mix of Mexican and Japanese Sushi Rolls. They are soooo good! The service is also wonderful as well! They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights as well, that's a big plus .

    The margaritas are delicious!! The music is fun and lively. The service is very attentive

My boss and coworkers have been raving about this place for the longest time, and I finally decided to come check it out for myself during lunch. Safe to say, I completely understand the hype now and I don't regret it one bit! I ordered the fries with steak bites and they were absolutely delicious. Now here's the thing , I am not a dessert person. I almost never order dessert anywhere I go, but something told me to give the brownie a try, and wow, I am so glad I did. Finger licking good doesn't even begin to cover it. That alone is worth the trip! But what really made the experience stand out was my server, Jasmine A . She was a solid 10 out of 10 incredibly friendly, attentive, and just an overall joy to be served by. I am someone who takes customer service very seriously, and Jasmine is exactly the kind of energy every restaurant needs more of. She genuinely made the whole experience even better. If you're reading this and on the fence about coming don't hesitate. The food is amazing, the service is top tier, and it is absolutely worth every single penny. This won't be my last visit, that's for sure!

Server was attentive. Full bar serving wine, beer, and cocktails. Located in old town Salinas -- I was told this spot is one of Salinas' oldest establishments occupying the same building from when it was founded in 1940. Hope they make it to 100 years! Also, my friend said this spot is known for their prime rib. I'll have to make it in one day to try for myself.

Zero bartending etiquette. She argues with patrons, she argues with her coworkers, I honestly don't really even know why she works there. The other guy has to tolerate her, and they appear to argue in front of patrons - it's not cute. He just stands there, staring at patrons as they sit waiting for drinks while the line gets longer and longer. Bartending is clearly not their jam. They have no signature cocktails, and the cocktails they do make are pretty bad. The karaoke is pretty egregious, it's like a guy who likes to sing poorly decided he wanted to set up karaoke just so he had a reason to sing sometimes and make other people listen to it. It's a dive bar, which in itself isn't bad. But it's like if you were driving through the bad part of Bakersfield and said "this place looks cool" and then stopped for a drink and then realized that it's Bakersfield but it's not. It's actually Salinas. You go here because you NEED to, because there's nothing else open, and then when this place closes you go to Jaime's. It's the second worst Salinas has to offer, and I'm saying that with optimism.

Better off going to a chain establishment. Like chili's, or other good bar & grill establishments in the Northside.

James Dean is in the 201 Main spot and uses the large, gorgeous patio. Though it is a bar with TVs and high seats, the patio is the best part about this venue, with fire pits, and a fountain wall. We found out they have a happy hour from 4 to 7 pm. Woohoo! Small bites like Chips and Dip and Garlic fries plus $5 to $7 beer, wine and drinks, you can get out of the house without breaking the bank. We had a Rodeo burger (barbecue sauce and onion rings) and the Pepperoni Pizza with a cauliflower crust. Both were delicious! The burger is good enough to stand against other burger joints like Islands. The pizza crust is crispy. Cauliflower crust is going to take getting used to because the crust is the most important part of the pizza. But for a night out to hear live music without having to go all the way to Monterey, this is a great place to go. The menu is small but you don't come here for the food anyway. Service is friendly. Band was fun. I went to follow them on IG, and see that it IS being marketed. I just didn't know the name of the place. They have TVs inside with sports. I'd come back.

I ordered the sampler plate, which arrived well after everyone else's meals. It seemed like our server forgot to put it in, along with a salad order for someone else in our group. When it finally arrived, everything was room temperature at best. The onion rings were soggy, the cauliflower bites were cold, undercooked, and inconsistently battered, and the artichoke was the only thing with a decent texture, though it lacked any real flavor. The slider had potential, but the patty was cold. My husband got a pizza that looked and tasted like a frozen Tony's--I didn't bother trying it. I didn't speak up at the table because we were with a group and didn't want to dampen the celebration, but the food quality needs serious improvement. This place clearly puts more energy into its nightlife than its kitchen. With such a great setup and fun atmosphere, the food should be able to match. I hope they step it up.
