This place has the world's best Tacos Dorados. The tortilla is perfectly crunchy, and each taco has three large perfectly prepared prawns and a big slice of avocado. They make three hot sauces, all delicious. They make tortillas for their street tacos. TASTY! read more

The food here is actually pretty good, especially on Taco Tuesdays when the tacos are on sale -- definitely the best time to go if you want a deal. But the customer service is honestly terrible. Every time I come in, there's no greeting, no "hi, how are you," nothing at all. It just feels unwelcoming and kind of awkward. If they improved their service, this place would be a lot better overall. read more

Walked in and said hello/good morning--no response from staff at all. Not a great start. Ordered a torta and waited about 30 minutes, which would've been fine if there was at least an acknowledgment or apology, but there wasn't. When the food finally came out, the torta was pretty disappointing--small, not filling, and honestly looked thrown together. At that point, we didn't feel like ordering anything else. Overall, the lack of basic customer service and underwhelming food made this a place I wouldn't return to. read more

I am a food lover but I have NEVER gotten as sick as I did yesterday! I went in to try this restaurant for the first time. I ordered 2 tacos and they were so good! But..... an hour after I left I started throwing up.... Both ways.... I went to the doctor because of how bad it was, turns out it was food poisoning ... never will I ever go back there. The food is good but they're not doing something right.... Such a bummer read more

Decided to try this place out, it never seems busy but figured maybe I pass by at non peak times. I ordered a regular asada burrito for pick up. (meat, rice, beans) The burrito was dry, asada meat had no seasoning, burrito had no flavor. The red salsa helped. For $10 you can get a much better burrito elsewhere. read more

I'm not sure what happened to the other reviewers meals but our carnitas tacos were amazing! We were a little surprised when we got whole beans in them but realized we ordered tacos, not street tacos but the food - and the salsas - were delicious. read more

Mi Taqueria - Carnita tacos - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

Ridiculous. They charge $12.99 for a "super" burrito with chicken. Smallest burrito I've ever gotten from a taco shop. Way NOT to represent, Salinas! I'll stick with Papa Chevo's and Papa Chano's in Monterey. Additionally, the salsas (red and green) are terrible. Mi Taqueria? Maybe Tu Taqueria. No es para mi! read more

Very good food fresh, laid back establishment. Great service good food. burritos are not massive, but tasty. Definitely going back.

The shrimp tacos dorados were perfectly cooked. Crispy and the shrimp was juicy and flavorful. The asada tacos was Smokey and good quality. I will be definitely coming back and get some more tacos. read more

Mi Taqueria - Asada burritos and tacos - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

Waited 20min just to be disappointed. I ordered the shrimp tacos and husband ordered asada quesadillas. I'm not sure what kind of seasoning they use it tasted awful almost like too much cumin. My shrimp tacos were burned. Will probably not come back here read more

Mi Taqueria - Burned Shrimp Tacos Dorados - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

This place never disappoints, I had 2 shrimp tacos and 1 asada taco. They have 3 salsas (mild, spicy and extra spicy). Shrimp tacos are crunchy, the shrimp are nice size, perfect combination with onion, cilantro and lime! read more

Tacos Dorados, red sauce. Delicious. Quesobirria was good as well. Could have been a little crispier. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Time for a update. So it's been a year since my last review here. I dropped a star for a few reasons like it's not as clean, the back door facing the parking lot is piled up with trash and a dirty broom was left out were people are eating. The food is simple bland , zero flavor for all there meat options . This is Salinas! Better burritos, tacos and tortes everywhere. Last words...step it up. read more

Shrimp tacos. That's the review. I've given 4 stars because the other items I've tried ( quesadilla and asada fries) are underwhelming. Shrimp tacos. Best ever! read more

Mi Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

My son and I enjoy coming to visit our local Taqueria quite often. The tacos served are tasteful as we get fresh made tortillas made quesadillas, with a side of beans, rice, and fries. My son loves their carnitas, they taste fresh, and so the guacamole. It's an easy grab, ready to go, servings. When we feel fearing we order veggie burritos or tortas... "again" freshly made and better when eaten there in the taqueria. read more

We had the flautas and a carnitas super quesadilla. Delicious handmade tortillas. It was greasy, but it was the best quesadilla I've ever had. read more

Mi taqueria makes the most delicious carne asada burrito! The meat is seasoned perfectly and has a tasty zest. This is the type of carne asada burrito a I have been wanting in Salinas. The employees were friendly, service was great! I will definitely be back. read more

MENU AND FOOD: Mi taqueria offers a variety of Mexican favorites including their Taco Dorados. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service was quick and efficient. Their indoor decor was appropriate and simple. They have seating indoors with plenty of booths. PARKING: This place was near my workplace, so I walked there. I believe they have some parking in the rear. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I had their beef Flautas ala carte because they were out of the chicken. I'm a fan of Flautas so, I was excited that it came with 4; however, they were sadly mediocre at best. They were too crispy and dry, and the guacamole on the side was browning. I may return to try their taco dorados. read more

Not sure what happened to this place! I used to come here often for lunch and also my sons' after school. Their burrito morphed into Burrito Sloppy Joe and the taste became so bland. The taste like just boiled meat in a burrito tortilla. I tasted more the tortilla than the not so tender meat. Not sure if I will go back to this place... they might have a new cook or management. read more

Supertacos are showed with two tortillas in the menu picture. They only give you one tortilla and will charge you extra for a second tortilla. read more

Really wanted to like this place as I was a fan of Boardwalk Subs food, not service. Saw a decent lunch line a few times so for Fat Tuesday, my family decided to make this our Taco Tuesday. Transactionally fine, gave a 20% tip due to the COVID environment. Results: I believe the pictures speak for themselves on quality control (5:20pm). Who would serve rotten avocado on shrimp tacos? Let alone 4? Killed the entire meal. Carnitas tacos had good reviews, but after trying two bites, gave to my dog. Extremely dry and chewy. Sorry folks, wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but wow. El Charrito and Bankers it is. read more

Mi Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

I have gone here for a long time and usually had good experiences. Not today. I stopped in and grabbed one burrito and 5 street tacos-which cost $28! Then, waited over 30 minutes for the food while watching 3 people after me get their food first. I get home and the food looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for an hour. I could barely bite into the tortillas and the meat was cold. I won't be back. Very disappointed. read more

I came here for lunch to have two hand made super tacos out of buche and side of chips and salsa. The meat tasted old, chewy, and flavorless. I really wish this wasn't the case, though, it was disappointing considering all the recommendations. It did not have the avocado or cheese which was another dissatisfaction. The overall aesthetics looked delicious but fell short of delivering a decent product. If you love spicy-HOT , that red sauce they have is amazing! You've been warned. The salsa verde was mild on the spicy meter and full of flavor from the citrusy tomatillos. Chips were crispy, lightly salted, and delicious. All things considered, I will be back because this is a one off. They have a small menu and from the recommendations I've received, their tacos are the go-to. I was told to get their tacos gobernadores which is a crunchy shrimp and cheese filled taco with avocado cilantro and salsa -- I'll be back for that. read more

This placed replaced a sandwich shop that I really liked so I went in to try them out when they first opened. It's the kind of place that does a limited menu of things pretty well. I've been in several times and never been disappointed. The portion size is goed, the food is tasty and the service is reasonably quick considering everything is made to order. In a town of lots of Mexican restaurants this one is OK. read more

Ordered 3 asada street tacos for $9... VERY skimpy on the meat portion.... Still hungry ... will be going somewhere else for Mexican food

Absolutely the worse street tacos I have ever had. Food was bland and had no flavor. Very disappointing. I asked for grilled onions and jalapeños on the side. We didn't get those but didn't know until we got the food home. I guess our fault for not taking everything apart and checking at the restaurant. You can't order a large container of rice. The side of rice comes in a small bowl and is almost $3. The lady said it's a child's size and that was the largest they had. I'm feeding a teenage boy. Oh well we won't be back. Very disappointing. read more

Delicious fresh hand made tortillas MMMM At a responsible price. Excellent beans and rice , home cooking ! I highly revommend read more

Came for the shrimp tacos. Hard to find a shrimp taco in the area like this besides Bankers. It's was very good. I got the fish taco also. I like my salsa spicy, and believe me, one of those little salsa ramekins is enough for two tacos Very clean seating area, the staff came out multiple times to clean while I was there. 2 tacos were about $9, 1 beer was about $6. read more

Mi Taqueria - Shrimp taco dorado, fish taco - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

We'd been wanting to try this place as we drive past this taco joint pretty frequently. The place looked promising but it really disappointed. My husband ordered tacos de carne asada but it was more like tacos de beans as there was more beans than meat. They throw in an extra tortilla I guess in case you have extra. ‍ Idk. I ordered a fish dorado taco and it was lacking flavor. I also ordered a carnitas taco and it was really salty. Although the place was very clean and customer service was good but the food was just not good. read more

Mi Taqueria - Carnita and Buche tacos - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

This is place is pretty great. The corn tortillas are made fresh by hand. The meats, beans and salsa are super fresh. It's super economical if you don't over for it. Their portions are very generous, so 1 taco is almost equal to two, and they give you and extra tortilla. I paid less that $8 for two tacos (really almost 4 tacos) and a water. I recommend this place. Wish the customer service was a bit better. They are are not friendly but not rude. read more

Mi Taqueria - Ate tacos before I could take pics! Lol - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

I was a delivery driver for a short period of time, so I made it my mission to try every taco in Salinas. I have tried them all. Mi Taqueria is a the hands down winner. I've told everyone that will listen about this place. The corn tortillas are so fresh, the portions are huge, the salsa is delicious. The suggested order for first timers: Carnitas Super Taco with a bottled coke. That's all you will need for a solid lunch! I've never had anyone tell me that isn't the best taco in Salinas! Pssssst... you can skip the carne asada... read more

Shrimp tacos are to die for as are their two hottest salsas (extra spicy and chipotle). I also really like their asada burrito with avocado (no rice). Never had any rotten avocado as mentioned on past reviews yet, but I keep coming back and food is always great! Service is quick as well and it's a nice place to get take out or meet friends for lunch. read more

If i could get this place a 0 starts i would. First of all let me start off with the bugs in my food. There was 5 visible on top of my lettuce when I ordered the flautas, who knows how many.more I would of found. When I took it to the cashier and asked for my money back she said "and see this is why i tell them to close the lids of the food". WAIT! So you're meaning to tell me that you are admitting to having a bug issue in your establishment and you still serve the public, specially with covid? Okay Second, after I tried getting my money back for all my food, because I am not about to continue to feed my 2 year old food that may have food, the same cashier asked me if I was sure I wanted to return the tacos THREE different times!!!!! I am obviously not eating any of the remaining food from this establishment or even dig through the rest of my food to see if I find more bugs, specially after you admit you have a bug issue. She kept questioning me, "well the rest of the food is fine, so why return it? " like no i am not gonna eat the rest of your food! ‍ Then she took the plate if food where the cooks examined it, I work in the food industry so I kmow youre suppose to dispose of the food thats been contaminated but nope, they continued to make dishes with the same lettuce. Okay now for an actual review of their food and prices. I was not planning on returning here even without the bugs just because of how expensive it is and the food not being the best. The food was meh and they really skimp you on things. I ordered a plate of flautas for 7.99 and only got 4 flautas with hardly any meat in them and to top it off with it they gave me "samples" of black guacamole, sour cream and salsa. I seriously get bigger " samples" going to macys than this place here. read more

Mi Taqueria - Carnitas super taco - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

How the hell do you call this Mexican food? You can find better Mexican food in my toilet about 5 hours after eating Taco Bell. 1. Store bought tortillas. 2. No seasoning. 3. My girlfriend, who has a food allergy, specifically asked for no avocado, was greeted by a mass serving of avocado on her burrito. 4. The meat was not fresh, by any stretch of the imagination. 5. The torta was missing something, maybe flavor. Or jalapeños. Or sauce of some sort. Just an absolutely pathetic attempt at Mexican food in a city that is primarily Hispanic. Shame on you for serving this "food". read more

On a trip to Monterey from LA and needed a quick bite in Salinas. We had a carnitas super burrito (solid carnitas) and a veggie burrito (delicious pico). Great prices and both burritos were really solid Mexican food (coming from two Angelenos who love Mexican food). Friendly employees and clean place indoors and out. read more
