Restaurants near Castroville

“This gem is very well hidden in a drab shopping mall. Even on a Tuesday night in November it was busy though! Unsurprisingly as the food and service are excellent. Such lovely staff who genuinely want you to enjoy your food. Ignore the surroundings and enjoy a treat.”

“Initially weren’t sure we descended upon the right place as we saw the sign on a gas station, but we were craving shawarma so we gave it a try and we’re glad we did. We were welcomed in by very friendly people. The food was AMAZING. I got the chicken shawarma salad and my husband got the beef and lamb shawarma plate. We devoured it in our car. There’s currently no seating but it’s in the plans to add some outdoor seating. Would def come back again”

“Stopped here on the way to Carmel-by-the-sea and OMG!!! They had a mix of beaker goods but also breakfast burritos,tacos and tamales. And i tired the chicken tamales and i was in heaven. So so so good. You need to stop by here and I'll be back.”

“They ALWAYS present great food and they are just the nicest people you’d want to meet ! Sadly we’re moving to Maine and will definitely miss THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Monterey County ! Thanks for all the great food and smiles Chris Will”

“I ordered huevos con tocina, comes with eggs, bacon, rice and beans. The tortillas are hand made and also a side of salsa. Very tasty. Service was really good and there was no wait time. Happy I found this place, a hidden gem. If I'm ever in town again I will definitely be coming back.”

“I stopped by for a quick coffee break and really loved pastries, but unfortunately coffee wasn’t so good, but still a good place to stop by to have a tasty snack!”

“Carlina was a wonderful waiters the young man that took our order was very pleasant. The food was hot and flavorful and the restaurant is so cute and clean! Thank you”

“The cheesy garlic bread, jalapeño poppers, garlic twists, mozzarella sticks, thin crust, and original crust are all on point here. Couple that with an amazing service and that it's owned and operated by a navy veteran that prides himself on perfecting his craft and you have the perfect recipe for a fun night for the family! If you haven't tried them, you need to today!”

“As with another reviewer, a fruit stand lady up the road recommended this place to us. We’d planned on taking our fish tacos to the beach to eat, but it’s a good thing we didn’t. They were so good we had to go back to order more immediately! One negative is that I don’t think the shrimp in the ceviche was cooked. I’d skip that or ask them to grill the shrimp up a bit. I know ceviche is usually raw, but I’ve never seen the shrimp raw before. Could just be me.
In any case, definitely worth a stop!”

“The food here is great. My family and I have been eating here for years and it still tastes delicious. The employees are also wonderful. They are very nice and courteous.”

“A must stop whenever I’m in Monterrey”

“I stopped by the taqueria inside Santa Fe Foods and was unexpectedly impressed. I ordered three regular carne asada tacos and a large horchata, and the total came out to $16.66, worth every penny.
The carne asada was flavorful and juicy, and the meat-to-tortilla ratio was perfect nothing skimpy here. I’m a big salsa guy, that either makes it or breaks it for me and their salsa definitely made it. The green salsa is full of flavor and the red has the kick.
The horchata looked hand made and was smooth, refreshing, just the right amount of sweet. Overall, a great meal with authentic flavor and generous portions. I left full and satisfied. I’ll be coming back for more real soon”

“went in for a quick bite.

Parking: this Subway is in a small outlet mall, but still plenty of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: if i remember right...there's only 2 blue??‍ parking ?️ in front of building.”

“At least the place I went to the previous afternoon seemed to be understaffed because they took too long between ordering, cooking and delivering my hamburger. Despite this, the employees are few and they know that in reality my father asked me that Vienna would honor our new”

“Overall great customer service only problem is them staying open when there’s literally no more cookie flavors anymore but the cheesecake ones they can at least put a sign saying there’s only cakes left that way I won’t be in line only to be dissapointed, anyways I love this location because they are very friendly and their secret menu flavors are always excellent!!”

“Outstanding! I had the huaraches birria and was delighted with the flavors and textures. I also had the sangria preparado which was sweet and savory and delicious. Husband had the enchilada with chicken. Chicken was most and perfectly done and he cleaned his whole plate!”

“Great place for quick lunch”
