Seriously, this…read moreis probably the best burger I've had in a long time.Three of us ordered the Sur Bacon Burger, which is basically their regular cheeseburger with bacon added. The patty was a solid size, not too thick and not too thin. It was the perfect thickness, giving you a great balance of meat, cheese, and toppings in every bite. Everything is made fresh to order, and you can tell. The lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes were fresh, the grilled onions were perfect, and the whole thing was put together so well. It wasn't messy, just a quality burger from the first bite to the last.My son got The Works, and if you saw his burger, you'd understand why he cleaned his plate. The food came out fresh, hot, and looked amazing. They really take the time to make everything look picture-worthy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, the wait wasn't long at all, and they have self-serve fountain drinks, which is always a plus. The menu is simple and easy to order from. They have salads, chicken burgers, hamburgers, and you can customize your burger however you like. Their burgers are cooked medium-well by default, but I asked for mine well-done and they got it exactly right. The customer service was cool.They weren't over the top trying to impress you, but they definitely weren't underperforming either. Everyone was chill, friendly, and got the job done. The portions are generous. I only finished half my burger and took the rest home. I reheated it later and it was still just as delicious. Overall Rating: 8.7/ 10. This place has officially earned a spot on my list of go-to burger spots. I'll definitely be back!

I'm 99% sure he still uses Molinari salami because the flavor, texture, and taste are absolutely impeccable. Italian dry salami quality in sandwich delis in the United States has drastically declined in the last couple decades. Not here though thankfully. The selection of uncommon chips and drinks is still top-notch...this has to be the only place I've ever seen Faygo in the Monterey area! The deviled eggs are still great also. I got there too late for broccoli salad. Bennett is still running the register, cracking jokes, and making smiles happen for his old regulars. And it looks like he has a really good crew currently. We will be back again and again. While I do enjoy the more upscale Italian sandwiches of Coniglio Bros on cannery row once in awhile, nothing slaps like a sandwich from an old school neighborhood minimart deli. This is the sandwich of your childhood, your teen years, and your early adulthood. This is how California nostalgia tastes.

Fantastic! My friend…read morerecommended that we pick up sandwiches here before a Big Sur trip. I'm so glad she did - this place is great! If you'd like to order a sandwich, there is a picnic table outside with clipboards and order sheets. You can order off their very extensive menu of sandwiches, or create your own. There is a wide variety of bread, meat, and cheese options so everyone can find something they like. Be very cautious if you order a whole sandwich because saying they are huge is an understatement. When you are ready to order, you bring the sheet to the back left deli counter where they have their display and desserts. While we waited for our sandwiches, we took some time to look around the market. It is fantastic! The decor is lovely. The items they have in stock is also impressive. They have your basic items like chips and soda, but also a large international snack section. There are shelves of foreign chip flavors and drinks which is very neat. They also have a super wide variety of domestic products that you can't typically find everywhere. I was thoroughly impressed with all they have to offer. The sandwich itself was the cherry on the cake. It was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. I was shocked at how thick and heavy it was. It was incredibly affordable too! It tasted delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area.

This location was no exception today. Clean, prompt service, food quality was on point. Don't think there's anything to necessary improve here, as it was about what I expected based on my experience as an LA resident of a long time. Just a caveat that parking is rather rough here. Not only is it sparse during meal times, but the parking lot doesn't have a good circular pattern and awkwardly dead ends at one side, meaning you have to three point turn to go back if there are no spaces. Best to just go through the drive through if you can help it. But hard to knock their setup-- they are rather space constrained here.

Same great service as the Sacramento location, but this one has a few additional items that can only be found here. Once I saw Mole Negro I was sold- and rewarded. I sat outside with my dog and enjoyed my meal after a day at the beach. The flavor was absolutely delicious and the portion made two meals. Take advantage of the small parking lot out front if you see an opening, otherwise it's paid street parking. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Monterey.

One of the stars is for the chips and sides section that they give you unfettered access too. Chilis, salsas, carrots/peppers etc. are a big plus. Definitely need a lot of tapatio when eating here.

I ordered the regular carne asada burrito, and the biggest letdown was the meat. The carne asada was bland and lacked seasoning or flavor. Surprisingly, the rice ended up being the best part of the burrito. My husband ordered the carne asada super tacos and felt the same way--the meat just didn't stand out. One thing we did appreciate was the complimentary chips and salsa bar. They offered both a red and a green salsa, and both added much-needed flavor to the burrito. The chips, however, didn't taste fresh or homemade, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the restaurant has a lot going for it with its large menu, ample seating, and self-serve salsa bar, but the quality of the carne asada didn't meet our expectations. We were hoping for a much more flavorful meal.

I mentioned breakfast burritos and as quick as that, the kids forgot all about those crappy waffles. We stopped in and ordered a variety of burritos and bowls. Everyone, including my pickiest 11 yr old, were satisfied with their meals. We had ordered extra burritos to enjoy later in the day as well, but some brazen seagulls nipped our afternoon snacks while we were combing the beach for sea glass! Ar least we got some good seaglass, right? Deliciously fresh, modestly priced, dare I say best kept secret? Reminds me of this wonderful multi-generational place I used to visit when I was a grad student in Santa Barbara. It's gone now, and I never expected to come across another establishment like that, so I was surprised that El Charrito awoke that part of me after so many years. Love this place and I can't wait to enjoy their food again!

Ordered the carnitas and an egg, chorizo, and potato breakfast burrito. After having the Salinas location (Which was amazing), I was utterly disappointed in the quality of this location. The famous tortilla did not taste as fresh and texture as off. I do like how at this location that they pack the meat and the portion sizes are a bit bigger, but the flavor of the carnitas was not as good, but still tasty. The breakfast burrito was very bland and a huge disappointment. It just seemed that there was no seasoning and no flavor. I cannot see myself coming back to this location.

Ordered a grilled chicken plate which is a kabob w/ large onion chunks, yellow rice, pita bread and two sides. I chose Greek salad and the phyllo spinach cheese (spanakopita). My meal was far more than I can eat at one sitting- easily shareable for an average eater. My daughter had shawarma and hummus, which I enjoyed being able to taste also. The service was great too. The man who helped us was patient in sharing our options and what things were. I'd highly recommend this Mediterranean food spot to anyone wanting to grab and go and looking for a healthier option. There is a small amount of seating outside as well! From what I gather this may be a chain in this area, as it is not the only location. (?) don't quote me on that :)

When we arrived they had a small parking lot but busy because they do a lot of Door Dash and Uber Eats business. Once inside I took a quick look at the menu and saw they had breakfast burritos of either Chorizo-Sausage-Ham-Bacon or Veggie. I chose Chorizo breakfast burrito($10.39) The shop is run by the owner-he was the cashier and the cook. In talking to him,he was telling me that his family owns multiple Mexican small shops like this in the Juarez Mexico area and El Paso Texas area.Says that all the shops use the same recipe for their hot sauce that is served with the burritos. Once the burrito arrived,it was both heavy and warm.Once I cut it open,I was able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this burrito in all its chorizo,egg,potato and cheese glory-it was beautiful. As pretty as it was though,it tasted even better,I had planned on only eating half of it as I had a tee time in less than an hour but one bite led to another and then it was gone. I've had many breakfast burritos in my day and as unexpected as this is to say,this may have been the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Also the aforementioned family-recipe hot sauce that came with the burrito was so spicy yet so tasty--perfect combo to a perfect burrito. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the Monterey area and you want to treat yourself to some upper echelon breakfast burritos-do yourself a favor and stop at 3 Mundos sandwich shop-a top tier food experience awaits.
