    Their version of tacos dorados de papa?

    I asked for tacos dorados de papa/ and they put French fries inside a tortilla. I'm so grossed out right now. It's supposed to be mashed potatoes inside the toritilla. estoy embarazada y me dio tano asco esta porquería que me isieron. Si no se puede aser no se puede pero esto no es tacos dorados de papa. Y page $20 dólares con tip y asta de le olvidó mis chips y salsa que compré. I feel disrespected next time just say you don't know or have the ingredients to make an order I would hv loved to come back but I will not after what they made me. I find this disrespectful

    Good food and friendly service. I tried a burrito and it was not the best I've had, but it was pretty good. I ordered a super burrito and didn't find the guacamole that was supposed to be inside, but it was still pretty tasty. The salsa served on the side was delicious. I'll be back to try some of the other menu options.

    Ive noticed this spot running in and out of little cesars. This is my first time here. I will come again. It was really good. The lady that waited on us was friendly and fast. The horchata was so good. Check in for yourself.

    The visit here today was an accident...a very happy accident! I was visiting a friend in the hospital down in Salinas, and then realized I hadn't eaten all day. I noticed this little place near the hospital so decided to pop in. The place was light, airy, and sparkling. The sweet Christmas tree was also very appealing. I was alone, it was Wednesday, and I ordered two fish tacos with the works, accompanied by refried beans and Mexican-style rice. The young woman who took my order was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the food and its preparation. The tacos were street style with two small soft corn tortillas each, and totally loaded with grilled white fish, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a fantastic dressing! The flavor was divine. The frijoles were just like in Mexico, creamy and rich. The rice was fresh, hot, fluffy, and a real treat! This little gem of a restaurant is family-owned and family-run. Mama is the cook, and a great one! If you're ever in Salinas, give yourself a treat, and check out Taqueria Cortes!

I got the green chicken Mexican Enchiladas my boyfriend got the Fajitas Mixtas and we couldn't of been more satisfied! Home made tortillas too!

    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!

Chilaquiles 9/10 Made perfectly, spicy, and full of flavor. The beans are always great soft with cheese and super comforting. Only bummer was the eggs ordered 3 sunny side up but no runny yolk. Still amazing overall. Chicken Enchiladas 8.5/10 Really good, would definitely order again. The sauce and chicken were on point, tons of flavor. Just wish it had a little more texture everything was a bit soft, maybe some veggies or a little crisp on the tortilla. Still super nostalgic and tasty. Service was quick and friendly like always. The vibe hasn't changed since I was a kid super nostalgic, and I love that.

    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.
