8 Best Mexican Restaurants near Castroville

“I love this place. I’ve been coming here for years since I was a little girl. literally my favorite go to taco place & im very picky with the meat I eat and if it has fat & the meat at this place doesn’t which is perfect. The tortas are also bomb and i’ve tried others at other places and they just aren’t as good as the ones here . I’ve also tried different tacos at other places and the ones here beat them everytime .“

“Buena comida y buen ambiente“

“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“

“Food was delicious, serves could of been better!!“

“Food is good but you had better brush up on your Spanish, your going to need it. Oh and they have Salsa dancing lesson. How cool is that.

Vegetarian options: Non meet eaters can find stuff to eat.

Parking: Their parking lot is small and we had to back our way out. It was tricky. We almost were blocked in by other cars.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“
