6 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!!“

“Don’t let the gas station location fool you — that’s correct! This spot serves some seriously amazing food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were incredibly generous. The hospitality was just as impressive as the food; the staff made us feel genuinely welcome.

One thing to note: on holidays and busy weekends, they do sell out of some popular items, so it’s worth planning ahead or getting there early.

Definitely a hidden gem and absolutely a place I’d stop by again.“

“Buena comida y buen ambiente“

“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“
