On a porch for lunch! Cocuyo's Restaurant in Soledad is an outstanding Mexican restaurant in the…read moreSalinas Valley (Soledad). Passing through on our way for a Cal Poly visit, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The chicken and shrimp tacos were outstanding--but the real star? The homemade corn tortillas. Fresh, warm, and full of flavor, they took everything to another level. It's a small spot, with big taste. Friendly, relaxed outdoor seating, and exactly the kind of authentic stop you hope to find on the road.

TL:DR - great spot…read more Service - friendly, efficient Food Shrimp tacos are delicious Fish is good but shrimp were my favorite. Side of beans and rice - very mild. Not your typical refried beans. Tortilla and salads - we can at opening at the chips were still hot! Awesome

Stopped here on my way home from Monterey to SoCal…read more Cute little spot!. Looked clean and welcoming. The hostess/waitress was super nice and greeted us as soon as we walked in. The free chips and salsa were a good start. Salsa wash fresh and chips were crispy. Al Pastor Torta: 8/10 Bread was fresh and nicely toasted on the outside. The torta was very good except not a 10 because I am used to the style of tortas in OC which are full and mighty. The dipped Torta with chorizo: 8/10 Very filling with good flavors. At the end you basically get a side salad from all the droppings - which I finished off for my bf :) Would come here again if I'm driving by. The food was better than expected for not being familiar with the area!

Thank goodness for the Spanish I do speak because they didn't speak a lick of English - or so they said. Lol. The simple establishment was clean (they mopped with bleach) and the only thing open other than McD's. They were about to close and it was empty inside then a rush of people came in last-minute right behind my family. At that point, I felt like I could relax because I picked the right spot to eat on a road trip. I never realized that Soledad was such a small place. But this bright shining star of a restaurant I will never forget, quite literally. ...Last plaza on the right before the road becomes the freeway.

Some meats cost more than others which is normal. I've eaten from here several times and have not experienced this issue. I don't review much but this taco truck by far is my favorite in town and deserves better ratings. I constantly see people ordering and coming back. I also like that their food is not too oily or covered in fatty meats. Highly recommend you try it.
