6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Castroville

“One of the best Hidden Gems in Monterey County.! If you call in you can pick it up and skip the wait.Their lamb and beef shwarmas are so good, and if you like the heat ask for spicy.I haven't got anything else because it's so delicious anytime I pass by I'm craving one. I did get to a friend's Greek fries and they were so good and saucy.PSA ?: I don't see the banner outside on the cheveron anymore, just go inside the food mart cheveron.“

“The food is very delicious, recommended but the waitress gave us terrible service. I think the owner is busy seeing that all the time he was in the cell. I am a waiter when I go to my tables at least I give them a fake smile. But my waitress had a terrible character.“

“I first came here when they 1st opened so many years ago...it was delicious, then something changed and I stopped going. I was craving tacos and decided to give this place a try again ! Not disappointed! Really good tacos ! I will be coming again!“

“As busy as the holidays become, and you're craving Birria but don't have the hours and hours to slow cook your delicious meal , you have to go to the next best option that would be here in Castroville! We came in on a Monday right about 6 o'clock. It wasn't too busy we were seated promptly. Our order was taken just as quickly and with all that being said, the food came out, fresh and flavorful and generous portions. Because this location has been a staple in Castroville for years , the ambience of the restaurant has not changed much since the central Texan minus the chips, but that's OK because the beautiful wood finishes are charming no matter what everything was clean and bright and that is always a good sign. We came during happy hour, and that meant you could get three queso Birria tacos for 10 bucks not bad if you ask me! We each ordered a plate of three and got shrimp cocktail and the Birria Ramen to share. Everything was flavorful, hot and delicious we personally like our Birria a little more spicy but I do understand you have to appeal to the masses with the restaurant For everybody to enjoy it not only spicy lovers like ourselves. The shrimp cocktail had an abundance of large shrimp, not the tiny salad shrimps you get at some restaurants and the Ramen was good but again I think it was just missing that little bit of spice that we were craving but again that's personal preference, so I cannot blame them for that. However they have incredibly amazing hot salsa that took care of our need for spice my wonderful hubby enjoyed it very much and said it was spicy so if he thinks it's spicy you know it's spicy good I highly recommend trying out this establishment if you're going to go on the weekends, you better go early as a Castroville native seeing the lines on the weekend makes me appreciate them being open during the weekdays lol And again, if your lines are that long, you're doing something right notable mention if you like the traditional Birria De chivo- you're in luck as they are serving up the classic style most people are looking for I know it's not it for everybody but if you know you know. Run don't walk and bring your appetite!“

“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.“

“I love their tacos. The ingredients all taste so fresh and the grilled onions are the best. They have catered a fundraising event that I have attended in years past. Covid put everything on hold for two years but this year made a comeback.....I seriously go to this event for the tacos!!!“
