    My enchilada spot! Love this place. It's family owned and after a few visits they start to remember what you like and how you order. Park in the back and don't be scurred to go thru the back door. Everyone is doin it! I never see anyone use the front door. But I'm sure you can lol. Their micheladas are very refreshing. It's easy to drink one or five... don't judge me I love their chips and salsa too. It's also easy to destroy a few bowls of that before your food comes so pace yourself. Which I never do...SMH. I've never really ordered anything else off the menu. This is the only place that I order the same thing every time. Eventually, I'll venture out and try something new. As for now, cheese enchiladas all day :) they're perfect! Hope they don't change a thing!

    We were starving when we got here for dinner. I was a little hesitant to try this place based on the looks of the building outside. But you know what they say, never judge a book... We walked in and sat down got menus and chips and salsa right away. Water followed soon after. Their salsa was hot! Fresh and really delicious, outstanding! Better than anything we've gotten in Salinas or the surrounding areas. Our mouths were on fire but we couldn't stop eating it. I had 2 enchiladas, 1 cheese with green sauce and 1 chicken with red sauce. The chicken was really good, seasoned just right and had diced green peppers in there. Moist and tasty. Cheese was ok. I liked both the sauces too. Husband had 2 Chili Rellenos. He said they were very good and authentic. The beans were good and the rice was just ok. Our waitress was very nice, checked on us several times but forgot about us when it came time to pay. I eventually asked her if we pay at the register or wait for our tab? Because I wasn't sure. She said either way but I can bring it to you. She never did so we paid at the register. We'd come back if in the area again.

    First time here I had many questions the nice waiter sandra gave me all the info I needed. I ordered the chiva de BBQ it was really good reminded me of a home cooked meal. The plates here are like home cooked plates so the price is a bit higher than fast food Stats for the restaurant A for cleanliness A for customer service. Sandra constantly checked on me to see if I needed anything and she was the only one working the floor so huge kudos to her. Thanks for the service A for food good quality freshly made tortillas and salsa is so good. chips and salsa included for dine in guests D for the the Mexican drinks the horchata was very artificial not made fresh. C for environmental feeling. Chairs were hard very quiet with TV low volume. I think it would be an A if there was music to match the beautiful deco they had the interior was Nicely decorated but seems to quiet.

    Filthy floors with wads of hair

    I picked up a order here and the staff was very unprofessional. During this global pandemic I was shocked to see how zero safety precautions were being taken. Not one employee had a mask on and no gloves were being worn. I didn't feel safe at all. restaurant was not clean and wads of hair was on the floor. I was so disgusted and just ended up throwing the food away.

Spent $40+ on some garbage. Sorry to say but this was truly garbage. Fried mushrooms come with a baby amount for 5.99. Zucchini is $1.20 each im guessing since I only got 5 pieces that are small. Burrito is literally a hard burnt overly cooked tortilla. And the best thing here is the jalapeño poppers because its most likely store bought. The oil used was the same oil they fry everything and it is probably a month old oil. I ordered this right before lunch time today. Milk shake was also horrible, think they used 1 scoop of ice cream and the rest was mostly milk. This place should be ashamed of themselves. Very poor quality food and probably should be closed down. I rank this place a 0/10. Nothing was decent about this place and its the 2nd time I've ordered from her.

Not happy with the customer service they could have waited for us to eat. Maybe you need to hire some people with better customer service. Mind you we only ordered 15 piece wings and a soda since we had already drank so much soda at the movie theater. The girl that took our order looked tired and was yawning maybe she was tired.
