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.

Stopped by here on the way home from a work-related trip. Whenever I'm traveling for work, I like…read moreto look for good local eats, and this place had outstanding reviews, so I figured it was worth a try. After browsing through the photos, the gorditas immediately caught my eye. They looked too good to pass up, so that's exactly what I ordered. The restaurant is located inside La Placita Mercado, which added to the experience. I even got to put some of my Spanish skills to use while placing my order. It was definitely good practice! For the price, it was an excellent deal. I received two huge gorditas with rice and beans, and everything was delicious. The gorditas were perfectly crispy on the outside, while the fillings were generous and packed with flavor. Overall, this is a fantastic little hidden gem. Great food, generous portions, and excellent value. I'll definitely keep this spot on my radar whenever I'm back in the area!

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!

The restaurants exterior isn't the nicest. The exterior colors are bright and tacky. However,…read moreyou'll be glad you stopped once you try their food. We ordered one chicken enchilada plate and 2 chilaquiles plates. One chilaquiles plate was with green sauce and another with red sauce. All our entrees tasted very authentic and homemade. Neither of the rice or beans tasted canned or pre-made. The food had great flavor! We also ordered their agua fresca of the day which was pineapple. It was the cherry on top to a satisfying visit. It tasted very fresh without added sugar. Just natural fruit flavors. I highly recommend checking out this place if you're passing through Soledad.

I've had several of the shrimp dishes and all have been wonderful and cooked to perfection.

The Saturday server is usually Norma and she always has a good attitude and smile and gets everything accomplished quickly and efficiently. Her ability to manage everything out front and staying in tune with all the customers is truly amazing. A worthy stop in Soledad.

Perhaps they will have pity on me.... And share this recipe…read more I love a good Chile Relleno. But I have never had one as good as the one at Palmas. It is a sheet-style, there is no soup-ey red sauce, and it is perfectly crispy with amazing cheese. It is also visually stunning with a sour cream sauce drizzle. I used to live in Salinas and take advantage of the fact that these were available to me whenever. Now that I live more than one hundred miles away, I wish I could get the recipe and make it myself. Worth it every time, and the other good is amazing there too. Sorry no photos--I don't live in the area anymore but would like to share this experience!

It's always decorated nicely with a fresh flower on the table and the restaurant music is great. Today we had the mojarra plate, the aguachiles with fresh made tostadas, the Cali burrito, and quesabirria plate. Since we all wanted water, they made us a pitcher of fresh lemon water for the table. We also got to sample their in house carnitas with a taco. We have also tried their Cali burger, their chicken fajitas, and their taco plate. Their corn tortillas are always fresh as well and their chips and salsa. They also have a food truck that goes around to local events, so everyone needs to try this place

Walked in at the same time as another couple and there was just one guy behind the counter. The other couple got there first so it took a bit of time for our food - but that meant it was fresh - and so worth the wait! We both had 2 street tacos - one chicken and 3 carnitas. All were juicy and tender and so delicious! The side of refried beans were tasty. Sautéed onions were on both plates and they were the best we'd ever had - so good we had to ask how he made them! The ambiance was clean and inviting and we loved the red roses hanging from the ceiling - very cool idea! There were even fresh flowers on every table. If you get a chance to eat here - don't pass it up! (Forgot to take pix of the food!)
