Mexican Restaurants near Carmel Valley

“As a breakfast burrito self described snob, the bacon avocado breakfast burrito is the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. I would eat this for breakfast every day of the rest of my life. Pico de gallo was fresh, bacon I got extra crispy and the avocado was perfect. “Chefs Kiss” is what I think the cool kids are saying these days“

“I love the Bonilla family!! They are so amazing and it was a pleasure working for them. The food and dunks are amazing too!!“

“Wow the mark of a killer taqueria imo is the preparation of the meats. Asada, pastor y carnitas triple taco plate. Fantastic. Generous portions for solo tacos. Great salsa bar. Green u red spicy to mild options. Yummy guacamole. Husband had the lengua. Perfect location to follow up after some wine tasting in white oak plaza. Loved it. 10/10“

“Súper buen servicio buen sazón y una linda sonrisa del personal 100% recomendado“

“The best kept secret in Monterey! First of all the FRESH hand-made corn tortillas! OMG! Best in town without question. Huevos rancheros and Chilaquiles were amazing! Authentic. You want spicy? They have the spicy. You prefer mild? Their tomatillo is super mild and DELICIOUS! Fast service with a smile. Plenty of parking. AND THE PRICES ARE SO LOW“

“I will tell you if you're in town and you have a chance to stop into this little spot you will absolutely love it it's off the beaten path on style cooking my wife could not stop Heating and shrimp cocktail it was the best we had since being in Cabo San “

“I have never once been disappointed at this place. Not once. Their al pastor is seasoned and marinated to absolute *perfection* and their birria is *rich and melty*. They also serve seasoned, caramelized onions alongside their tacos which is a plus, so sweet and savory. Seriously, I could eat 10 tacos, no joke. My only regret is not leaving a review sooner.

Beautiful location along highway 68 under the live oaks. Classic California roadside charm.“

“I am a local from Monterey and I've enjoyed this establishment since childhood. Their food is so tasteful and memorable. They truly integrate the Oaxacan culture into their food, keeping it as authentic as possible.

My favorite thing I love to order that I would recommend would be their chicken mole or tortas. Their pastels (cakes) are very delicious as well. Top restaurant I would personally recommend in Monterey“

“This place has to be one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to , the food is super delicious, the prices are cheap! The amount of food they give you will shock you
And all the staff are friendly people
The place is super clean and the guacamole salsa they have is amazing“

“Delicious! Authentic, cool atmosphere, and great prices. Service was amazing. Will come back!“

“Ordered the carne asada super burrito and the chicken taquitos. Both were great and came with red and green salsas. Also ordered two kids quesadillas and they were a hit.
Next time we’ll try the taco plate and carne asada nachos.
They also serve breakfast burritos at very reasonable prices starting at 7am.

Parking: No issue with parking, large lot and easily accessible.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available with three options. Recommend the kids quesadillas.“

“Authentic mexican and south-american food restaurant. The service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere could be a little bit more comfortable. The food was on point (although the fish in the ceviche was cooked and shredded) and the michelada is a great choice!

Parking: More than five spots directly in front of the restaurant but there is space to park on the street, also.“

“Honestly don’t know why others say the portion sizes are small, they’re not - the food was delicious, with amazing pico de gallo and the staff was friendly. It also didn’t take long for food to be ready, the shrimp and asada tacos are delicious and the asada burrito was amazing! Will definitely be coming back.“

“Great Customer Service. And the food was Great“

“This place has some really really really yummy food the bomb.com“

“Delicious food.... We had some red aguachiles and some green aguachiles. We’ve been here tons of times, but today when we went in, the service wasn’t the same, waitress seemed upset for some reason because I asked for extra avocado & I had to ask another waitress for some chips 20 minutes later because the original waitress never asked us if we needed anything else after they brought us our food. Besides that, food was delicious 👍🏿“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en: Panadería y comida mexicana“

“Went here for lunch during EOB and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. The pupusas with cheese and loroca were absolutely delicious and some of the best i’ve had, also they were only $3 each which was insane to me I would have happily paid twice for the same meal. Our waitress was super sweet and my friend who got the chicken quesadilla said it was great as well. I will definitely be back soon and I’m happy I’ve found such an amazing restaurant!!“

“Lupita's strikes again! Once again, completely delicious food! The quality of their food is so good that you won't feel that yucky takeout feeling after eating there! You will feel like your Mexican mom made you a batch of rice and beans! The key is their oaxacan roots! I love how they make their quesadillas with like a thick masa. The tamales are bomb, masa is seasoned correctly and then the fillings are so good. we love the chicken mole ones but also like the rajas and the salsa verde. Today we branched out to try their tortas and new burrito bowls. outstanding! Ask for some Oaxacan cheese on your burrito bowl! Okay, now the bakery... There is always a debate on who has the best donuts on the Monterey Peninsula, I always hear about the donut places, but for me Lupita's is the best. their donut is substantial and then the chocolate on top is decadent! I really keep saying, who would go to any sole donut shop when you can get so much variety here? Donuts, donut holes, cakes, cookies, pan dulce! and my ultimate favorite... a loaf of morning glory bread!!! Like a carrot cake bread with oats! trust me! super delicious! Lastly, they are super friendly! I love their staff! I am currently working with them to do custom donuts for my son's upcoming birthday! They are always willing to work with their customers to make them happy!“

“excelente muy bueno para el caffecito por las mañanas y las tortas uuuuyy deliciosas yel servicio muy amable y el lugar está super limpio se los recomiendo“

“Las memelas están deliciosas y el champurrado igual el servicio todo muy bien regresaremos es seguro �“

“This is a solid place to get a burrito for the road. The staff is friendly. The Super Burrito is always good. But the quesadilla is soggy and the cheese on the Carne Asada fries is weird. I do love that it has a drive thru, though; so it's my go-to in Seaside.“

“This is by far my favorite location ☺️ The food is always hot and consistently tastes better than the taco bell I used to go to. However, there have been a few instances where 1-2 main items were missing when I ordered three or more set menu items, so I recommend checking your bag before you drive off. The employees are always friendly and provide great service.“
