    Carnitas super buritto
    Julie Z.

    We were passing through town looking for a buritto. Yelp said this place was good. Omg, this place is ridiculously good. It is a taqueria. Order at the counter pick up yourself. Service is like being at a friend's house, a friend who is really excited to see you. There was no music or loud sounds (like other yelper's whined about.) The food was really really fresh. I was concerned because this is the day after Thanksgiving. But, wow. Really yummy Carnitas burrito for $9 with free homemade chips and salsa.

    Asada tacos

    I ordered the asada tacos and I really enjoyed them! 5star experience for me and would recommend this place to anyone.

    YUM! Great little spot if you're traveling through CA. Lots of great reviews on good Mexican food, and it didn't disappoint. Quick service and friendly staff!

    Caldo de rez , corn tortillas, side beans and rice.,,

    Passing through salinas? Here's you pit stop...and easy access onto 101N/S with gasoline right across the street from Los Grullenses

    Ceviche

    If you're coming here for ceviche... I recommend going somewhere else. My bf and I were wanting ceviche so we decided to try this place out, it's mostly vegetables. And pretty expensive they only give you 2 tostadas for a cup of ceviche. The picture below is from today the ceviches been sitting in the fridge because no one wants to eat it. I can't speak for any of their other food hopefully it's better.

    Food is always amazing here. Prices are some of the best in town. Salsa is tasty and spicy to some. I don't think it's spicy but everyone I bring here does. The food is super messy so if you're not into that, you won't enjoy it. I will definitely keep coming back

    Pico
    Katie A.

    The pico is really good and so are the tacos that I forgot to take a picture of. But I would say definitely worth it the service was pretty quick for me.

    I love this place, best carne asada burritos in Monterey County. I always stop I. when I'm in Salinas, I can't get enough. Traffic in the area has gotten heavy-duty in the last few years, but under a mile off the 101 and worth a try. They have restrooms but they have a bad stench, but I don't go there for the restroom.

    Asada nachos
    Alan G.

    Another solid taqueria that I go to whenever I make my stop at the Pilot across the street. I like their Asada and al pastor meats but didn't necessarily like the chips on my order nachos; tasted old. Their tacos and burritos are usually spot on

    Tostada shrimp ceviche
    Peter L.

    Went there again on the weekend to try their specials Pozole: very good, my first time trying this traditional Mexican soup/stew. He soup had good flavors, chunks of tender pork meat with horminy corns. There were parts of fatty pork with skin, I left it untouched, I guess thats how its traditionally made. Menudo: also my first time. I m not a tripe fan but my partner loves it. Broth had good flavor but slightly gamey, tripe was tender, sliced into small pieces so it can be spooned easily by diner.

    Tacos is so good! My favorite is the aguachile. It's good every time. It's very consistent. We come every week.

    Don't let the grilled windows and doors throw you off--this place is a genuine diamond in the rough…read moretucked away on a bustling Salinas street. 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.
