Papa chevos is a local, almost iconic spot in our area. Food is pretty tasty but a little expensive. I've always had a good experience at any of the spots but today I was a little disappointed. I ordered the carnitas torta today "everything" expecting the crema and beans and jalapeños. Instead I only got shredded lettuce, tiny bits of tomato and a small amount of guac. For 9 dollars this feels like a rip. To be honest it was still tasty so I will try them again. But I guess my advice is to ask for everything and make sure they put everything. This was around 6pm, on Tuesday June 4th. read more

Food: Pretty good breakfast burritos. My critique is that they had a lot of potato and less eggs and meat. Store: About average. Clean and efficient. read more

My wife and I just went here for the first time and upon walking in, we were not greeted for about 5 minutes. However that was still not enough time to decipher the menu; what sides are offered, what's in the different burritos or tacos. In addition the cashier did not understand English very well so we had quite a confusing order. However the prices aren't bad and the food was good! read more

Food was good. Enjoyed burrito and tacos. Took a while but cooked to order so it was hot when served. Chips were not salted and marginal. Would try it again. read more

Came from out of town and all I can say is that the food is amazing. I got a torta de asada and the food had so much flavor! Definitely would recommend anyone to come here to try the food out! read more

Read up on Yelp to find a quick lunch spot since I was in the area. Well I ordered a fish taco because of (read below), and honestly, I didn't think it was anything special. Fish taco = wrap + lettuce + tomatos + some white sauce + battered fish. my co-worker told me to word the "super" burrito, but I decided to order the jumbo burrito with carne asade. Jumbo means JUMBO here. It's freaking nearly the size of my arm!!!!! It's from my elbow to just above my wrist, thats freaking like 16 inchs!!! To be honest with ya, its 7PM and I'm eating it for dinner since I only ate like 1/4 - 1/3 of it for lunch. LOL The burrito consisted of beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream, and carne asade. They didn't skimp on the beef because there was at least 2-3 pieces with each bite I took. So if you want a lunch to surprise your co-workers, $8 will be the cost of this JUMBO burrito that'll feed 3 people, or 1 very very hungry person. PS: I had to carry it with two hands. ROFL. read more

This specific location has gotten me sick on two different occasions, and the lady who runs the counter has the worst attitude in the Monterey food service scene. Like nevermind the virus cultures that's definitely growing on the treys that don't seem to get washed quite every month, if they don't get you sick, the fact the items that should be refrigerated get left out, all day, day after day will for sure give you the runs. read more

After we left the comedy club "The Planet" we wanted something to eat and I wanted to go somewhere so I could yelp about it. We ended up down the road on Fremont street at Papa Chevo's. It was clean, fast, cheap and tasted ok. I'd rate it a step above Taco Bell. It seems like the Taquerias in the Monterey area are kind of a hit and miss. If anyone knows of a good one with a suggestion for an entree, let me know. Thanks read more

This place used to be really good, but in the last few years, they SERIOUSLY have gone downhill. I don't know if it's new management or lower quality ingredients to cut costs, but the food just isn't the same. There's so many better options, I just wouldn't waste your money here. read more

A-Okay in my book! You can't go wrong with Chevo's - regardless of the location. Breakfast Burrito with Bacon. Mountains of Salsa Verde. End of story. read more

This is one of the few places that is open late in the area. When I'm up late studying, Papa Chevo's comes through! My favorite is their Taco Salad - it's not like any taco salad I've ever had before. Instead of a taco shell, they put their fixins on top of a bed of tortilla chips. It's easy to eat and delicious. I get it with carnitas, which is always tender and never dry. They also have great big breakfast burritos - they will make it however you like. Asada fries are also an excellent choice. I wasn't a big fan of their crunchy tacos. read more

Giving this one star on behalf of the others I know who like this place. Once upon a time, I got sick after eating here 3 times in a row and swore off. One night, my friends insisted we go again, and I decided I would only get chips because there no way you can get sick off of chips. I got sick off the chips. read more

Best burritos I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. They prepare the food so fast and the staff is always polite. Love this place

Seaside location is my favorite one for breakfast burritos! Big size and very yummy! My favorite is the bacon burrito. It has eggs, cheese, bacon and potatoes!! The location is very bland not much decor, but I usually go in and order to go. read more

Best chicken tacos in the peninsula. Customer service is always great and their red sauce is the only way to go

Great food not very expensive semi friendly staff: The carne Asada burrito was a bit greasy but good and my rolled taco and guacamole bomb read more

1st time in Monterey & this place was highly referred by family members. Boyyyy, I'd come allllll the way back to Seaside just for their burritos and huge quesadillas alone. read more

Papa Chevo's food is typically always good, I've eaten here a lot in the past. Although as of a year ago, I stopped eating at this location after discovering that there are roaches in the kitchen. Now don't let this discourage you from eating at other locations, it's this entire building at this location that has roaches. Honestly I believe it's just the lack of cleanliness here at this location. read more

Delicious. I got the supreme steak burrito. I would definitely go back. Their steak fries looked good. I think I'll get that next time

Best breakfast burritos! Whenever I am in town I buy 1 a day then a few to take home so I can cherish it till I'm back in town.

Love Papa Chevo's in seaside! Been around for a while and always has good mexican food. Great place to stop in for lunch. Has great breakfast burritos. Today i got the rolled tacos. I love how they pile on the toppings. Fresh and fast service. Friendly staff. Will always recommend to anyone. read more

Bomb.com carne asada burrito is our favorite here in Monterey. We also think the breakfast burritos are awesome, but get it without potatoes otherwise it's way to much food! There it's always a line so you could call ahead. read more

Nothing great.. The shrimp a la diabla was really crappy. The orchata was watered down. The carne asada burrito and quessidia were ok

The people here are so nice and they always hook it up with tasty breakfast burritos. Would def recommend

Shoutout to my Migos at Papa Chevo's! Everything you could ask for in a local taqueria. They're open late night like every real taqueria is and have good prices. read more

They overcharged me, and he knew his mistake but instead of fixing it he didn't give me the receipt and made me feel uncomfortable to ask for it. I suspected something went wrong when he put in the order because he kind of took a while and made some adjustments before giving me my total. I knew it seemed off but I assumed he had fixed it. When I asked for the receipt he said, he threw it away because I initially didn't ask for it. I attempted to check my mobile banking to see if he overcharged me before accusing him, but the app was down. The next morning I checked the app, and sure enough he over charged me almost double. I'm assuming he accidentally charged me for 2 burritos, and when he realized, it was too late, yet he did nothing or said anything and just let it happen. If you're from out of town stay away, they know you won't be back anyways. read more

I spent $8 for approximately a cup of rice and beans. If a customer asks for something to be left off, leave it off. Guacamole makes me violently ill and of course my meal is absolutely smothered in it. Can't even remove the top layer it's that bad. I've never had this problem with the girl cashier. read more

Been waiting for afew years to get back here.so good got a monster burrito. It was the best

Breakfast burritos were amazing!!!!!!!! I am very impressed by this little shop and can't wait for my next burrito!

Worst customer service ever. He tried to tell me they couldn't give me a receipt. He also tried to short me on my change. Horrible customer service. Do not recommend read more

these guys hold it down, the food is perfect for what it is, and the people are rad too! Its unreal 4-5 days in a row I have eaten a carneasda burrito once (some days twice) and I'm still gunna get one tomorrow. Its a problem how good they are! thanks guys read more

Basic taco shop. Only place in the area that I could find that does rolled tacos . Lines are long so I would call it in for take out

Love love love the bacon breakfast burritos. I honestly cant get enough of them. My favourite work commute treat.

When first walking in the front door, we were hit by the heavy scent of bleach. We all ordered and sat down inside. Our food didn't take long. Once it arrived I tried my food. Bland bland bland. Really no flavor at all. I'm not sure if it was the blandness of the food or the horrible scent of bleach, but none of us enjoyed our food and left without finishing. Growing up in east San Jose, maybe we were spoiled with fantastic Mexican food? But this place was such a let down. Will not return. read more

No taste. I got the carnitas taco and carne asada fries. Word of advice, salt and pepper. Ever boil meat? Well there you go. read more

Machaca burrito is delicious! I get my meals to go because the extremely casual atmosphere is not for me. The food is wonderful with fair prices. Yes, try the Machaca!!! read more

Menudo was not great! It was to much fat, over cooked and the broth didnt have any flavor what so ever. The smell wasnt pleasant. Wont recommend it.. read more

Ok NO stars for the atmosphere and the service (the lady was sweeping inside the restaurant which is great but she kept swishing dust into my face and making me sneeze) but OMG their Carne Asada is AMAZING! I'm a carnitas girl and I tired a carnitas taco but not so much. The carne asada kicked it's ass. So most Mexicana joints overdo the cilantro and onions which takeover the flavor of the meat... not at Papa Chevos! The onions were cut in minuscule pieces as were the cilantro and with the nice layer of guac it made for a perfect taco. Moist and delicious, not dry at all. I was super impressed!!!!! So my lady friends told me about Papa Chevo's (it's their fave) so I gave them a whirl since I was in Seaside. Very glad I stopped by! I think I just found a new addiction. I guess carne asada is healthier than the rest of my addictions (believe it or not!) HIYO!!!!. Thanks ladies! read more

This place was a staple when I was living on the peninsula. The shrimp burrito is my favorite and a must try! If you're looking for authentic Mexican this is the place to go. read more

I ordered chicken enchiladas and when received it my plate had two tortillas with some chicken inside a small sprinkle of shredded cheese and lots of lettuce on top. It was very plain and not really what chicken enchiladas should be. It was not worth almost $8. Ordered Horchata and got it with no ice. Once I ordered fish tacos and instead of cabbage in them, they put lettuce. Will not be going back. read more
