    Chorizo and delicious rice and beans. The free chips and salsa bar was delicious and spicy.

    Food delicious and plentiful. Service was kind and friendly. Casual place for families too.

    We have been going to Las Cazuelas since they opened and they never disappoint. We have tried different foods from their menu and everything has been good. They have been consistent over the years and the food is ready in an average of 15 minutes. Would recommend checking them out.

    Reasonable wait times, open side bar for topping, and relatively clean. Good tacos and decent portioned meats

    Great service, good dining area. Super tidy and clean, they have a chips and salsa station. I can always rely on this resturant to hook me up, they have great portions with great flavor. This place and their Marina location is always my go spot.

    Las Cazuelas is a solid choice for Mexican food. Sure, it's a bit watered down compared to "more authentic" Mexican taquerias but there's nothing to shame here when it comes down to food that tastes good that comes with quick and efficient service. The location shares a parking lot with other businesses so parking can get crowded. There's a popular buffalo wing chain next door (you know which one I'm talking about). So, depending on when you visit, be prepared to park a bit further than you'd expect. The interior of the location is smaller than you'd expect from looking at the outside. Judging by the fact that the restaurant even has a "to-go container" shelf by the registers with a hand written note on it saying "do not touch" leads me to believe that the kitchen area is probably quite cramped as well. So they're trying to maximize the interior footprint the best they can. Even so, I didn't have trouble finding a table for two. Something I always appreciate when going out for Mexican food / Tex-mex is a good salsa bar. This place delivers on that. From cucumbers, to radishes, escabeche, and a couple of different salsas to choose from, there are plenty of options. There's one mild green salsa and a spicier red salsa, plus pico de gallo available. I ordered the regular Carne asada burrito which came out really quickly after I ordered it. I'm talking about less than 3 minutes. It was hot, wrapped well, and ready for devouring. The carne itself was a bit dry and the rice didn't taste overly seasoned. The beans were cooked perfectly though (I hate when they're overdone) and had a nice "bite" to them. With that said; Was this the best burrito I've ever had? No. Would I come back and try another one? Yes. Overall, the shortcomings here are minimal and the food itself is good enough to warrant another try. The prices are fair ($11.95 for my burrito) so, if you're in the area, it's worth a try yourself. Otherwise, there are plenty of stellar options for Mexican food in the area.

    What's there not to love about this place zero Lines, friendly staff, clean restaurant, free chip bar, an excellent food. I ordered the super burrito and is massive. I posted a picture next to my Mexican Coke. It's almost the same size. It was delicious. I will be back.

    Crispy Tacos, Yawn

    Seaside, Ca. We were actually looking for a different place when we happened onto this mall based restaurant. It's set up to look like fast food Mexican, though it's really a bit better than that. My tacos were ok, good but not a lot in them, I would avoid the crispy version if your hoping for a larger portion of protein, My wife ordered the Chile relleno and a taco ala carte but it came out with the typical rice and crappy refried beans. She took it back in and they removed the offending extras but offered to refund for the charge of a combination plate.

    Chicken Enchiladas
    Raquel H.

    Stopped by for an easy Mexican dinner. Nice Ambiance and service was great, people friendly .. but I was disappointed with the food. I got the Chicken Enchiladas and hubby got burrito. They have a self service chip bar with a heat lamp but chips were not fresh. Enchiladas looked good but absolutely no flavor, which really surprised me, I don't think I tasted any salt of pepper even.. my husband said his burritos was very dry and flavorless also. Had more beans than anything else.. Disappointed

    Super nachos asada
    Dave S.

    Sure...another taqueria. Nothing special and nothing wrong. It's just okay. Average in all ways. Has this what it's come to? Is average what we crave? Five of us sat and ate dinner. Got up and went outside. Not a word about dinner was spoken. What! Before all of us getting into our cars and driving away I asked " how was the food." " Good, okay and alright " were the answers. Boring Mexican restaurants and food in such a culturally rich Hispanic place as Monterey county is a drag. There's better. I want better, great, so delicious. Last words...keep trying.

    This fast/casual Mexican restaurant is more than a fast restaurant (not necessarily a fast food place as you walk up to the ordering counter, pay for your food and they will bring your food to your table.) There is no way you can argue with the fact that this place has almost 5-star reviews from people who've dined there, and today, I joined one of them. Quality food, good service are offered at this place on top of the authentic feel of a/any Mexican place you'd expect to see. Prices are just right, too (if you do an a-la carte of two items, salsa bar and a bottle of beer would come to about $20 which is not bad for a restaurant in Seaside/Monterey area.) Employees are constantly walking around the place to ensure if we are enjoying our food, if we need anything else etc. Their attentiveness is/was top notch. The place is/was clean as well. Our home city (Denver) would love to have a restaurant like this in every major areas in it. I wonder if they'd consider opening a location in CO in the future?? I'm crossing my fingers for that!!

    Don't! Worst enchiladas I have ever had. Sauce tastes like tomato sauce, borderline ketchup.
    Cynthia M.

    Going in to the restaurant my first impression was that it was spacious and clean. You order first and they bring the food to you. The mid-age man taking our order was not very friendly and almost rude. As for the food, the carne en su jugo was in point just like the other reviews. The enchiladas were horrible as I mentioned in my picture. I just can't believe they would serve something like that. We also got nachos, they give you plenty of meat and chips but the flavor was just okay.

    Nachos with Carne asados
    Tareq B.

    I think honestly they deserve a 3 1/2 star but that's not an option. You ask why: well that chips were stale and they are not authentic. The portions are excellent and service is quick. The girl at the cash register greeted us with a smile. The salsa bar was fresh. The bathroom were not the cleanest. I think they can do better.

We usually get the Whole Chicken Combo. It is not possible to get only white or dark meat. The chicken is "slick" enough that even the white meat is good. There is some char on the outside and the skin is cooked nicely. It comes with a few tortillas (can pick flour or corn), 2 kinds of salsa (spicy red and chipotle based), and pickled onions. Roasted hot peppers (yes, they have some heat!!) and onions are a nice touch. The whole chicken isn't too large. Sides are Spanish Rice (great flavor, but seemed a bit hard), seasoned whole beans (tender and flavorful). It's enough for a family of 4 with little kids. But you might think about ordering more if you have more adults or older kids. We also got a guacamole (loaded with onions, tomatoes) and chips. Guacamole is fresh and creamy. You'll love it if you like the style with extra stuff added. Chips are thin and oh-so-greasy, in a good way. Kids loved the extra colors. Portion size isn't too big, could probably have ordered an extra one, because you won't want to stop eating them! Overall, a great place to grab a quick dinner. Can't go wrong with this spot!

However, service plays a huge role in the overall experience, and in this case it overshadowed the positives.
