Was just as good as the watsonville branch. Except that they under poured the margaritas. Did it a 2nd time and couldn't even taste the liquor. Food is still fantastic though. read more

Ordered a burrito de Chorizo, eggs, beans and rice: No eggs, They added potatoes (filler) The chorizo wasn't great but I ate at the Watsonville location and their eggs with chorizo were good! Maybe take out isn't the best? read more

I had the fish that's called la mojarra and it was good, although it wasn't as fluffy as some other ones I had but overall it was delicious. All of us in our table got them. Also the Micheladas were so yummy and honestly it was one of the best ones I've had in town. In my experience. I will definitely come back and try other dishes. The waitress was very attentive as well. It was a bit crowded but we didn't wait long to be seated. read more

Los Dos Potrillos Restaurant - Mojara - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

It's crazy to think that people can't be more professional when it comes to work and leave personal life behind. The server knew my partner from years ago from her personal life due to a family member. This was years ago yet she seemed to not be able to do her job & was being immature. She nearly threw the food at us while at the drive through and shut the window. We get home and our food is all tossed around. Dos potrillos, make sure your employees know how to leave personal issue outside of work. read more

Came here with my girlfriend on Cinco de Mayo for lunch. It's a new restaurant in Watsonville, and I pass by this place all the time. Im really glad we gave it a try. The restaurant is spacious and was really busy, but the servers were attentive and checked on us often. I had one of their fried fish plates, and it was so delicious! I had it with the Chipotle sauce, which was quite spicy.. I really liked it. It was nice to wash it down with their decked out michelada! The fish came whole, and it was crispy and flakey. I really enjoyed it very much! I'm definitely coming back again! read more

So yummy! Great service. Even when busy, food arrives pretty fast. This is by far my #1 Mexican restaurant. My favorite are their pastor tacos and burritos. I think their bean and cheese burritos are the best in town! I especially love Taco Tuesday when most tacos are half price. The chips and salsa are great too. I often wish I could eat more because I want to try everything on their menu! Paper plates and plastic utensils for a la carte items, but I don't mind. Can't really hold conversations on karaoke nights, but there were good singers the few times I was there. I also often do take out. Now that I've done this review, I'm craving a burrito! Heading there now! read more

First time here Restaurant is clean Private parking lot Drive thru options available Customer service is efficient Food came out hot and relatively fast I ordered a breakfast burrito (not on the menu) with eggs, nopales, beans, potatoes and salsa roja My burrito was good! Ingredients tasted fresh Burrito was a good size I will definitely come back here again if I'm in the area, their Chavelas look awesome!! read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I liked the food. The ambiance is nice with traditional heavy carved Mexican tables and chairs, and festive banners. It's spotlessly clean. The wait staff was competent and friendly. We shared all of the dishes we ordered! First, the chips and salsa were great. House made, thick, crunchy chips with a wonderful fresh, dark, chunky salsa that had a bit of heat. The star of the meal were the shrimp empanadas! Oh, my little pony! These were deep fried and filled with a saucy thin crema and chunks of fresh snappy shrimps. The crisp pastry, the creamy sauce and the snappy shrimp along with the super hot salsa verde make these a taste sensation! You have to eat these! On the ceviche front, we ordered the mango plate with shrimp and fake crab, the mixta tostada with all sorts of seafood, and the fish tostada. The mango plate was really well balanced with sweetness from the mango, orange, and shrimp versus the lemon/lime juice. The mixed ceviche was very tasty but just a touch too acidic with over "cooked" seafood that was a bit chewy. I liked the fish tostada as it wasn't so lemony and the fish was tender. We also ordered the Chile Verde plate special. The sauce was so fresh tasting. The pork was nice and lean, but a bit dry. Still, it was delicious. The refritos and arroz were treated with importance and also had very nice flavor. I'm looking forward to many return trips! read more

This place is around the corner from my shop and the boys have been telling me that the burritos are delicious so I decided to pick some up for me and my love one day for lunch. He got the Asada burrito. I had a chicken burrito both super. We also got a plain cheese quesadilla The food is bomb very traditional. It feels like you're going to someone's house and they're hooking you up with a nice little plate to go home. The girls were very nice and the food came out quickly. There was plenty of parking, cute place to sit outside and eat if you feel like it, they also have a drive-through! Yes, you heard that right they have a drive-through! We will definitely be going back and when we do, I'll take some pictures. Just wanted to fill everybody in on this traditional little gem here in Salinas . I would say, if you are not fluent in Spanish, be prepared to look at the numbers and point I placed my order completely in Spanish, That is no problem to me, especially in a traditionally delicious place like this one read more

They took 30 minutes to get my food and when the food got to me the beans tasted old my chilaquiles did not have good taste and instead of real salsa they put Valentina and tapatio the eggs were over cooked and wasn't good at all not recommended read more

Good Quality & Quantity food. Great Hispanic seafood options. Service very nice too. Very helpful staff. Live music was awesome. Great experience. read more

Went here for a light lunch on a Wednesday and had a Camaron Ceviche Tostada which was delightful. But I was most impressed with the service. There were 3 wait-staff on the floor and during my $12 meal, at one time or another, all 3 of them checked in to see if I needed anything. Not overbearing, just helpful. The Tostada was great, the service impressive. read more

I don't remember this place being this good. The service was great, the staff was friendly. We tried the tostadas de ceviche and I added pulpo (octopus). The fajita was really good and fresh. The empanadas were so full of flavor and the tacos are made with homemade tortillas. Everything was fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is scheduled to close at 11 pm and these people, my love and blood from the motherland, decide to close earlier at 9:35??? Poor customer service should still be open regardless of who or who isn't there!! read more

Im very surprised that this place doesn't have higher reviews! I was skeptical because I read all of the reviews first and wasn't sure what to expect. I came here for lunch on a Thursday and although it was busy I still feel like the staff accommodated my table accordingly. What really stood out to me was the variety of dishes they had. The menu is about five double sided pages and there is something for everyone. They even had sushi!!! I'm a seafood lover so I ordered the mango ceviche and a shrimp taco. Both items were fresh and delicious! A bill for two people (without drinks) will run you around $40 which is pretty reasonable considering it's fresh seafood. Will be back to try more delicious seafood dishes! read more

I love this place during weekdays! Taco Tuesdays are delicious! But stay away on weekends due to loud music and the wait is incredibly long. The food is delicious! I love the molcajete, aguachiles, tacos gobernadores, the mojarra frita, and much more. Service is great! Staff is also nice and amicable. The restroom could be a little cleaner. Just needs some nice smelling plug in. Visit this place when on Alisal Street! read more

Very authentic Mexican food ! With specialty of Mariscos and Michelada's! They even have live music !! The service is great ur welcome with a smile and the waitress are very attentive speak English and Spanish !! Even have home made tortillas for ur tacos as a choice !! Highly recommend this place if u want authentic Mexican food !! The only reason not raiting full review because they close early on Sundays but other then that !! Great place to eat read more

Can to eat here for Taco Tuesday ($1.50 tacos). I ordered 1 taco of each - shrimp, pastor, carnitas, chorizo, and asada. The meats were well seasoned and delicious. Our server, Tatiana, was so friendly and laughed at all our jokes. The restaurant was playing reggaeton music which created an atmosphere of relaxation. If you have an opportunity, visit this place. read more

Recently came here to eat with my family. The food was very good. I had an order of tacos gobernador, they were very tasty similar to those of miches and ceviches which are my favorites. The Ambiance is very fitting to the style a food the serve. The have some very imposing solid wood tables and chairs that you would see in Mexico. Decor is very appropriate the only knock I would give them is that the waiting staff have the music up way to loud and them being fairly young play their choice of music which is not fitting to this style of restaurant. They had quite a bit of the modern Mexican music narco regional cross over with some peso pluma etc. A more mariachi style would fit them more and at a lower volume. The service was fast and attentive and I liked the food. I would recommend it's nice to see this area of Watsonville come back to life after so many years of it being vacant. read more

We had an early dinner this past Thursday The menu is very large so it took us a while to decide I had a chili relleno with rice & beans my husband had a plate with steak & shrimp Both were good We also shared a Mexican sushi roll I don't remember the name but it was really good Staff were very nice We will go back again Sorry no pictures read more

Good price on tacos Tuesday, highly disappointed recommend this place for taco Tuesday yes definitely

This place was soooooo yummy and authentic!!! Great service and delicious food! The atmosphere felt clean and it has a good parking lot. Chips; salsa, and guacamole were A+ read more

I had been here about 30 years ago when it was a different owner. My son was told by a friend it has great food so we went to dinner there after washing clothes. It was busy but not noisy. Me and my son ordered tacos and I also had the quesadilla. Both were really good. The chips and salsa were yummy as well. My wife had the caldo de res but felt it tasted bland. I will be back for the lenqua tacos for sure. read more

Let me tell you a story. So my wife takes me here, during a pandemic. Yea I know, why? Anyways we have to go through the drive thru and we wait in that line so long. It's like. A good 30-40 mins. I get it they don't cook the food fast. But drive thru are supposed to be fast. We almost broke up because if the drive thru. Anyways on to the food. The food is good. I get carne asada fries and the quesadilla which is pretty good. The tortillas that they make in house are extra but are pretty good too. I would recommend this to out of towners just prepared for a long wait. But it's worth it, my wife always wants to go here. Pro: good food Con: you wait an hour for your food read more

Needed to throw up after eating here. Food poisoning all night...diarrhea and horrible stomach ache all night. Something is dreadfully wrong in the kitchen! read more

I truly expected great food as I was recommended this place and there was a 50 min wait. Yes, packed. And while the staff was so lovely and so friendly and did so much to make us feel welcomed, the food was not at the same level. I ordered the chimichanga and there was so no way this was fried. None. It tastes bland and I'm pretty sure the only cheese I got was a bit sprinkled on top. My guests said the fajitas were good but nothing special while the fish was bland. This truly bums me out. And to top it off no mariachi? I will try it again at a less busy time and hope I can update my review. read more

Los mariscos no tenían sabor, no había servilletas, la mesera nos presionó bastante La verdad no lo recomiendo Habían un grupo del cual un integrante estaba luengo afuera cuando llegamos al estamento. Mis hijos se llevaron un mal rato, parecía más cantina que restaurante. Lo único bueno fue la horchata. read more

Delicious. Spicy food. We only had the fish ceviche tostada, a mix plate, and a carne asada taco but the salsas were tasty and we'd come back again if we're in the area. read more

Super good food, super good service, worth the money not too crazy expensive, the sushi's are soooooo good I recommend them 100%

Wow!!!! The reviews are right! I stopped by and had a the chavela and it was awesome! I also had a tostada de ceviche de camaron and it was delicious! My two complains are 1. The booths suck! Don't sit at the booths they are old and dirty and not screwed down well. 2. I ordered the coctel de camaron and it was extremely bland. They bring out the ketchup so you can add if desired. It made it better but I wish it was already in it. Service was great both waitresses were friendly and fast!!! The beers are awesome! Check them out! read more

Never coming back here. The food is cold. The quality of the food is poor. Has no flavor, tortillas burn, salsa and chips seems they were done over night the amount of salt they put on the chips is ridiculous. I hope the owner looks at this and makes changes. Very disappointed. read more

The food is very good. The all female wait staff is very friendly. I recommend everything. Mexican sushi is good too. Pastor is muy bien.

TACO TUESDAY $1 tacos! the landmarks used to get to this place was "its right next to the l'amour shop" we got there 10 min until closing and they still were able to sit us down and take our orders. The waitress was nice, place was well lit, a few tvs in there wasnt too packed at the time we arrived the only thing that sucks is that they were out of chicken, carnitas and pastor so we had to settle for asada tacos. the shrimp/fish tacos are only $2. We werent in the mood to drink but there were tons of good looking drinks/chavelas. they even serve sushi after wednesdays and on weekends. My fav part is the $1 tacos not bad for $1, there was a juke box so there is potential to get lit in there and to be the spot. I would def return for cheap tacos and good company and hopefully to try their drinks and sushi soon! read more

One of the best food spots along with great drinks and live music/ karaoke. Get inside to taste their homemade tortillas!!

For more honest reviews check my profile thanks. Chavelas are always good here, the girls working have no customer service skills. The booths really need to be cleaned. Karaoke nights get pretty loud, if you enjoy seeing drunk people wilding out this is the place. The Pelukin guy is in the kitchen, sorry man your seafood is still not good. Aguachiles at La Costa or El Compita or Kiosko are better. Owner please clean the kitchen it looks dirty. read more
