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 .“

“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“

“When the lady at the local fruit stand suggested this taco truck, we knew it would be good. A steady flow of locals ordering from the seafood-focused menu was all the more assuring.The tacos made with shrimp and with fish were yummy, staying true to the actual flavor of fresh seafood. Minimal dress up. The mixed ceviche served on tostada came with hot sauce and ketchup — a must.One of many Mexican taco trucks along Highway 1 well-worth a pit 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“
