I will be looking into how to file a complaint with the business bureau in Salinas against this establishment. This is the second time my partner goes in to buy burritos and is met with what I can only describe as discrimination. He does not know Spanish but always tries his best to use Spanish to communicate with the girls who work here because they tell him the don't know English. When ordering he asked for "2 carnitas burritos." The girls there started laughing at him as if they didn't understand what he said. The customer in front of him had left because they did the same thing to him. I understand not speaking English but to laugh at a customer who is trying to communicate with you and acting as if you don't understand what they are saying when they attempt to speak Spanish is ridiculous and bad for business. I'm sure the owner won't appreciate the fact that these girls are causing the business to lose customers due to their ignorance and immaturity. We will no longer be supporting these business and discourage anyone that we know to do the same. read more

This place rocks for carnitas ;) I would like less fat though! Service is amazing. Music is authentic!

the last two times that bought carnitas they are not even close to what they used be. They are dry and tasteless .Everyone in my family noticed I think they are using boneless pork picnic instead of shoulder.or maybe different chef . read more

Las cajeras no saben atender al cliente, estan de mal genio con mala actitud y muy poco profesionales.

Went in today because the pictures on Yelp looked delicious! 5 stars for the service, the ladies are great and sweet. The tacos are NOT it. Really dry they gave me a little droplet of salsa on each of my tacos and when I picked the taco up my tortilla just completely broke apart. Carne was super dry, tortillas stale and falls apart quickly. I think I'll still continue going to La Gruillense taqueria instead. read more

Saltillo Tortilleria - I picked my taco up and this is what happened. Tortilla fell apart and all the meat fell out. - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

The food itself is ok. I particularly like buying the wrapped up tortillas there for parties. However, the customer service is terrible. The women in the cashier is rude. She gave me my tortillas in a bag, even though we had left a cooler for her the day before. read more

They are not organized when it comes to attend people. No son muy organizados al despachar los clientes. read more

Their carnitas, chitcharron and tortillas (freshly made) simply the best! I will definitely be there again.

Amazing food and the carnitas are always on point! I 10/10 would recommend this to anyone who is looking for good carnitas and sides.

Ordered a torta ahogada and it was just a torta. So sad. I was super disappointed because I drove here for that.

Just went in for my first time Definitely recommend the carnitas super burrito. Really good service. I'll definitely be back for more.

Great carnitas- fresh and consistently good. They are a busy little place but they are quick to help you and get you out of there. It's a must. read more

Great service and Food! Eduardo is amazing! Our family is huge and Saltillo is the best for catering from there delicious chile verde,carnitas,rice and beans. Not to mention all there delicious salsas and tortillas read more

Ordered carnitas and rice since they were sold out of tortillas. Great customer service, they even brought order out to car since I wanted to avoid contact. Will be back to try the other items. read more

I love the carnitas here. I also love the customer service! The lady is very amiable. She's respectful. I like the tortillas that go hand in hand with the carnitas. You must try the chicharrón, las grasitas are pure fat, but they are delicious! The guacamole is a must try as well. I enjoy going here on Sunday's, just be ready to wait in line! I recommend you stop by! read more

Delicious authentic freshly made Mexican food. Corn tortillas were thin and good, guacamole is delicious on the spicy side. Burrito was large size for me ($6.00 approximately). read more

For more honest reviews visit my profile If you've ever been to Mexico for tortillas this place will take you back. bomb meats, get it for there or to go but space is limited, specially weekends. Tip: sign up to cut your hair next door and then go eat 2 tacos, you'll be happy when your getting your hair cut trust me. read more

This place was first initially known for their carnitas and freshly made tortillas made on site, hence the name Saltillo Tortilleria. Now all they have is Carnitas and some side dishes, their salsas are also decent but I used to visit this place for the combination of fresh tortillas and the carnitas. They actually chop up your carnitas and place them on butcher paper, which helps when you are trying to eat them at home. This place is strictly to go, they don't have any chairs inside, they also do carry some other dishes like chile rellenos but I have yet to try them. read more

2lbs carnitas, 1 lb buches, 1 lb cueritos, put all together..2 packs tortillas, 1 lb guacamole, 1 lb Chile molcajete...enjoy!

Craving carnitas and my place in Gilroy closes on Tuesdays. Carnitas are a weird color, don't know why...had a sample before I made purchased because of the color. Sample was good enough to satisfy craving. At home, flavor set in and kicked in. No bueno. The salsa was good, don't recommend and won't be back. read more

Unvelieveable gorditas, tacos dorados and chips. They fill them with whatever you want and since its a tortilla shop, the gordita itself is pure joy, melts in your mouth like a sweet corn drop. 2nd best chips in the world, rivaled only by Buy Low market in my hometown of Inglewood, maybe even tied for first. They are not greasy somehow but retain a crumbleful crunch that's salsa ready or even as a stand alone bite. Was debating even writing a review so as not to blow the cover on this spot, but how could I not? read more

Best carnitas in Salinas by far. They have catered for some of my families parties and they never disappoint. Prices are reasonable.

Hygiene is a must at any food place. The lady that was helping was very nice.. After she served my salsa in the To-go container and grabbed my tortillas which are wrapped in white paper, she went to the back to bring Change for register (the cashier sent her) well she came back to Finish helping me but she didn't even wash her hands!! their salsas, chicharrones and carnitas are very good, I will not be going back just because of that hygiene issue. I just don't understand why would somebody handling food just not was their hands after handling nasty money! I would have mentioned it to her if we would have been alone but the place was packed I didn't want to embarrass her. read more

This is a small mom-and-pop tortilleria that also makes and serves carnitas, chicharones and other yummy foods. Seating is a spartan courtesy, but the food is worth it. When my wife and I go south to visit my family we stop in here to get some food to take home for later, usually 2 pounds of carnitas and 2 dozen freshly made corn tortillas. Yum read more

What a great place! The tortillas were wonderful, the queso fresco was deeeelish and the carnitas was out of this world!

The carnitas are ok, they are better than most places. They have a redish color due to their seasoning, not what I'm use too. I had a burrito, they don't reheat the carnitas, so they are almost cold. Regathering drive north to Gilroy and eat at Carnitas Michoacan. 10 times better. read more

I was in town on business and wanted some Mexican food to take back to my hotel for later. I stopped by Saltillo's and was immediately impressed by the authentic tortilla making machine making fresh tortillas. I ordered a carnitas burrito and a chile verde burrito for later. Their carnitas are excellent. I'm pretty picky with my carnitas and these folks really know what they are doing.. they were crispy on the outside and juicy and tender inside. I will definitely go back soon when I'm in town. The owner mentioned that their menudo is also a local favorite. read more
