7 Best Mexican Restaurants near Capitola

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“Don't knock it just because it is in the mall. This is by far one of the best mexican food joints I have ever been at. The food is amazing! The meat is always seasoned beautifully. Their servings are quite generous. Their burritos and tacos are always loaded up as humanly possible. The staff is professional and super friendly. This is definitely a place I visit multiple times a week!“

“Great chicken tacos 🌮 chips & salsa - the whole family enjoyed 👍🏼 Friendly service as well.“

“I came here on a sunny day in January around 12.30ish.
I ordered at the counter and tried to look for a table - but didn't find any - so got takeout
As soon as I was done I saw a table empty out - and I took that one.
The staff was kind enough to accomodate the change.
The patio view is superb and the tacos 💯
I got the chips and guac - guac was fresh, and had the creamy feel of the avocado and the salsas were spicy and tangy , the chips were crispy and the little sprinkle of salt made all the difference
The fish taco has fried fish and the taco was a great crunchy one with the spicy and crispy feels
The shrimp taco is a little warm taco with grilled shrimp and a little mellow sauces .
Overall good food and view 👍🏽“

“The Al Pastor was dry, I like it aged and dry, not sweet. The tacos were large and with thinly sliced fresh cabbage, tomatoes and beans. The waitstaff was excellent and the chair was comfortable. I am disappointed they didn’t have taquitos and I did not see sides of rice and beans offered on the menu. ?“

“How can we not be friends ✊. thank you for your kind Grindz and awesome hospitality 💯. Love your food and family 💚“

“El Toro Bravo was closed for 391 days following a Christmas Day gas explosion, that destroyed the apartment attached to the back of the restaurant. Luckily no one was seriously hurt!

We are so blessed to have El Toro Bravo back. The same great menu and warm friendly staff. I got the tacolotta and my wife enjoyed some taquitos. The sweet enchiladas sauce will entice you to eat the whole thing (pro tip ask for a to go box so you can save some)

The food is great and we ran into a lot of people we know so a fun dinner spot that you should leave full and happy“
