Perfectly average Mexican place. Everyone is really friendly and theres plenty of old white guys hanging around. Food is just average, nothing really noteworthy, but in a nice nostalgic way. Salsa is decent but still has that cheap canned tomato flavor. I'd come back just for the vibes and convenience.

Last minute order on super-bowl Sunday. Amazing service and food was fresh and delicious . The salsa is sooo good! Totally recommend.

I forgot how good the food is here. In PG for dentist appointment and got a craving for Mexican food. Sat at the bar, ordered the enchiladas suiza with chicken. Man they have the best chips and salsa I've ever had. Perfect amount of spice and everything is chopped up evenly. The enchiladas were good but I wasn't really a fan of the green sauce, tasted too sweet. Ended up ordering a pint of salsa to go. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area.

In my opinion this is the best Mexican food in Pacific Grove. That El Jefe burrito is amazing.

Cute little place at the back of a parking lot. Spacious and they do have a tv above the bar to watch games and such. Ordered quite a bit for dinner and lunch the next day. Cheese fries are a good little snack. Come with tons of catch up so if that's not your thing say so. Flautas come with a bunch of sour cream so also say something if that's not your thing. Tamales are good but they don't come with rice or beans and they do come completely drenched in sauce. The chicken with red sauce was far more flavorful than the pork with green sauce. Agua frescas are apparently mixed as one of us asked for jimaica and the other tamarindo and we got the same thing. Super burrito is bursting out of the tortilla and i specifically asked for everything but sour cream sooooo good. Guacamole is fresh! The chips and salsa that comes with ordering are extra yummy. Perfectly light and clean fried chips.... And that salsa **drool** huge fan! Service is fast, so make sure you order with and without the things you like. As not everything is listed on the menu as ingredients that come with. Would definitely pop back in to this local spot.

I have ordered their food often on DoorDash over the years, and I love this place. The cream cheese chimichangas are addicting and I crave them all of the time. Best items: Flautas, super grande burrito, Chile relleno, cream cheese chimichangas Skip: chicken mole enchiladas, tamales, crispy tacos, flan

This is my go-to Mexican spot in Pacific Grove. This family owned restaurant has an expansive menu of various Mexican dishes and staples. My favorite items to get are the daily Mexican soups and menudo that is served on the weekends. The menudo uses honeycomb tripe which is soft and fluffy rather than the prickly and chewy kind of tripe. They give you generous helpings of hominy and all the various seasonings and onions and cilantro to custom your cup. Menudo is not just great for hangovers but a good low calorie soup with lots of vitamins and minerals. Try it! I wish they made the pozole everyday but they sometimes make it with chicken or pork. I like both varieties but have been favoring the chicken pozole a tad more. Since PG gets some so much fog and is pretty mild and chilly usually, the soups are an excellent idea. I also like the albondigas (or meatball) soup. My other faves are the chicken flautas appetizer, grilled artichokes, shrimp cocktail, and the nachos con todo. One critique is I find the chips a tad salty but I eat them anyway. And depending on the cook that day, the same item may be assembled slightly differently than the previous day. For instance, when ordering the flautas one time they provided a heaping side of guacamole and this diced onion Pico de gallo mixture along with sour cream and queso fresco but other times I've not had that extra pico. Service is always friendly and fast. Parking is easy in the parking lot or behind Safeway.

This place is located in the very back of a cul-de-sac that houses a lot of other restaurant options. Inside is small but comfortable and the staff are really friendly. We were told to seat ourselves and there were three other groups in the restaurant during our visit. Everyone is really short staffed right now so service takes a bit of time to get to you. After ordering, there is also a bit of a wait for food to come out. Luckily, they offer complementary chips and salsa so you have some snacks to munch on while you wait for your entrées and your appetizer. The flautas were really fresh and made for a fantastic appetizer. 10/10 would recommend. When our burritos were delivered, they were delivered to the incorrect person which caused a bit of confusion between my buddy and I, as we took some large bites out of the ends of our burritos, and then realized that we were eating each other's food. Haha, whoops! Having been able to try the chipotle burrito as well as a Carne Asada burrito, I can say that I recommend both but the chipotle burrito is definitely better because if the added salsas/chipotle sauce. Their menus on their website are outdated so make sure you check here on yelp for updated offerings. Tip; their burritos are stuffed with wet ingredients and have a tendency to fall apart, so be prepared to turn this into a fork and knife burrito rather than a fully handheld one.
