    Not so cold coke
    Joe I.

    This place has good tacos . Reasonably priced. If I was just reviewing tacos I would say a 4. What is lacking here is the customer service. They take forever to serve you. I am use to taqueros being quick and speedy. Not here. I ordered 4 tacos and I was the only one waiting and ordering and it took them 20 minutes to prepare . And as I was waiting in the enchanting blaring music-another customer came in and was there to pick up an order he did by phone and it wasn't ready . Not bueno amigos.

    Tacos al vapor. Pastor, lengua, and cabeza!

    Moved out here about 2 months ago and soo bummed I barely discovered this place! Tacos al vapor eventhough a bit small are soo delicious!!! Definitely brought back memories as a child eating at the corner taco stands in Mexico.

    The Quesabirria is always amazing! They also make really good Carnitas. My wife really enjoyed the Cucumber/Pineapple agua fresca.

    Don't let the grilled windows and doors throw you off--this place is a genuine diamond in the rough…read moretucked away on a bustling Salinas street. Once you step inside, the vibe shifts instantly into a perfectly clean, well-organized Mexican eatery that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've been let in on a local secret. The food is quite frankly phenomenal. We're talking enchiladas cooked to perfection, delicious tortillas, quesadillas boasting that glorious, milky-stretchy cheese we all dream about, and bold salsas that bring just enough zing to make you reach for your napkin (and maybe a glass of water). Even the staples like refried beans and rice were flawless, leaving us with absolutely nothing to fault. If you're looking for a meal with enough soul and spice to make you sweat, this is a must-visit!

They need to work more on presentation with their food. If it don't look good, it don't taste good. The eggs tasted weird and the rice was terrible, I'm sure it was old rice. The beans were alright but I will not be back. Price is not worth it either 16$ is a no no for the food quality.

    This is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been too. Already just walking in…read morethe place, it is decorated super cute and cozy as if I'm in someone's home. Decor on the wall was very chic with a barnyard backyard type of feel; good ambiance for a simple date night or a night out with friends. We ordered: Paloma flight - you get to choose 3 flavors, super worth because 3 full cocktails for $38 ?! That's a steal. Usually for flights I get a smaller sample of each flavor so I was shocked when it came out so big as a flight Lobster enchiladas- OMG this was my absolute favorite! The sauce was amazing! The lobster pieces were huge. They were not skimpy on the lobster at all! It had so many amazing flavors combined together. Comes with beans and rice and I for sure mixed that sauce with the rice. Definite recommend!!! Ribeye aguachile - meat was cooked perfectly with a balance of chewy and tenderness, more on the citrus side but goes great with the tortilla Salsa and chips - comes complimentary but extra orders would incur a charge ($2) Service was exceptional, everyone was very nice and polite. This is a must go to when you're in Salinas and my go to every time I'm in town.

    If you know me, you know I LOVE Mexican food. I read an article about this restaurant with rave…read morereviews and decided this is where I wanted to go on Mother's Day. Drove two hours from the Bay Area to get there and it was totally with the trip. My son got the mole negro and I got the chile verde. Everything on both plates was authentic, delicious, and AMAZING. My son tried my chile verde and said it was the best he's ever tasted and I agreed. They were super busy because it was Mother's Day, but we were seated after a short wait and our waitress was super efficient and friendly. Several times during our meal someone checked to see if we needed anything. Not going to lie, we were a bit intimidated when we pulled up as there were no other non-Hispanic people in the large crowd outside waiting to be seated. I told my son that meant the food was definitely going to be good, but I was worried about how we would be received considering the political climate these days, but it wasn't an issue. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely be going back to try other items on their menu.
