I read the really good reviews and wondered why we had not heard of, or visited, this local…read morerestaurant before. It is off the main road (Salinas) so if you don't know, you won't see it. We went for lunch. The restaurant was large, clean, and the server was polite. I ordered one if the specials listed on the board and menu, which included free iced tea. The enchiladas were okay. Both tacos were on soft flour tortillas. The beef fajitas in one were well cooked, but bland, nothing but small chunks of meat. The carne guisada in the second one was tender and flavorful, but too soggy to pick up in the taco. My husband ordered maricos soup, which was also bland, watery, and had only 3 small pieces of fish and a decent amount of shrimp. When I went to the counter to pay, I had to inform the cashier that my tea was supposed to be free. They also charge more for sweet tea than they do unsweet which was $3.54 in a regular sized glass, even though you can add all the sugar you want at the table. It was our first visit and will sadly be our last. There are too many really good Mexican restaurants around, so no need to go to a mediocre one again. Sorry...

The food was so good! The online menu does not reflect the current prices, but the owner explained she is not knowledgeable about how to change the website. The prices are higher than posted.

I couldn't believe the pancakes were so light and fluffy! They are so thick, but like a cloud! Eggs done to perfection with absolutely no runny whites!

And it was cold. We just wanted a snack so we split a Chicken Quesadilla. What could go wrong? Right? So, if you squint, you could see the cups with sour cream & guaq. Someone forgot the tortillas were on the grill, and were way overcooked. So, I guess you could say it was a pretty unpleasant snack. However, it seemed that this had a "club" atmosphere with strobe lights. If they moved tables there would be a dandy dance floor. Probably rocks on Sat/Fri nights. LOCALS ONLY BAR

I requested beef fajitas, two cheddar cheese enchiladas, a crispy corn taco with ground beef filling. The plate included rice and beans, guacamole and a choice of tortillas. I asked for flour. When my plate arrived the food looked hot, tasty and freshly made. After giving everything on my plate a try, here is my subjective assessment of the meal. Again, this was my only visit so I didn't try anything else. Service: 5 out 5, servers were friendly, helpful and attentive. You can tell they take pride in their jobs. They all wore matching black T-shirts. They refilled my drink and stopped by to ask if I needed anything else. Atmosphere: 5 out 5, not fancy but who cares. It was clean, comfortable and inviting. It feels like it's been there since 1972. Food: 3 out 5, although the items on my plate looked fresh and tasty, I felt only two items really stood out. The crispy taco was the best item on my plate. It was crunchy and delicious. The flour tortillas were freshly made and delicious. However, the beef fajitas were bland and chewy. The cheese enchiladas seriously lacked flavor. The cheese filling and enchilada sauce could and should have been better. The rice and refied beans were flavorless. Overall, the flavors were muted and I would say needed more seasoning. I wanted to give it a higher rating. I may try going again in the future but I'll order something different. They serve breakfast too.

We'll definitely be keeping this spot in mind whenever we're in the area. Thank you so much for the excellent food and service--5 stars all the way!

I put in an order for French toast, eggs, & coffee and paid for the meal, so I could just eat and run. I asked if I could sit anywhere. The cashier looked at me in surprise & said she thought I had ordered to go'. I said no, I wanted to eat there, but didn't have a lot of time, so was just ordering and prepaying for my meal. She told me to sit anywhere & she would bring my breakfast. There were a couple of waitresses standing around & after about 5 minutes I got one's attention & asked if I could get a cup of coffee. She brought my coffee and about five minutes later my breakfast arrived. . . But not on a plate. My breakfast was served in the plastic cover (not the plate itself, but the clear lid!) of the 'To go' box! Obviously, the cook must have been irate about my decision to eat there, rather than do take out! Since I'd only gotten a fork & spoon, I had to flag down another waitress to get a knife to cut my French toast. Once I was served my breakfast, nobody stopped to ask how was my meal, would I like more coffee, etc. I felt totally ignored! Needless to say I won't be going back to IHOP, nor would I recommend it! Decent food, bad customer service!

Mmmm mmm mmmm, was it TASTY! Our server was very friendly and attentive without hovering, despite it not being too busy. We all ordered burgers which were MASSIVE (1/2 lb maybe?) and cooked over a char-broiler evidently, as they had that "flame broiled taste". I added cheese to mine while a fellow golfer added grilled onions to his. I believe they all came with lettuce, onion, tomato and dill pickle slices. Condiments were served on the side. The fries seemed to be made "in house" as they were not the typical frozen French fry but were tasty. I noted they also had a breakfast menu for those living nearby or starting their round earlier in the morning. I'd definitely stop in if we lived closer, but as it's a 25 mile trip... I'll settle for a meal after a round of golf.

However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!
