“Been here several times; the food is always delicious. It is traditional California style Mexican food. I've eaten Mexican food in Mexico and to me CA style is better. I wouldn't say this food is the best I've had, but when I'm craving a chili verde burrito, beans/rice, it works, and it is tasty. They serve their sodas in cans with a glass of ice. Each time you want a new soda you have to buy a new can. It's a bit expensive, about $42 for 2 adults with no drinks or tip. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is nice.“

“Great place good food love it!!!!“

“Finest chimichanga in this universe! 👌👅🌈“

“Really tasty enchiladas, sopes, and chili rellanos. The salsa, chips and frijoles refritos were so good. Great California flavors.“

“Breakfast here was great.
Ordered the Steak Ranchero's with eggs, food was great and came with handmade corn tortillas. Great seasoning and salsa is good and spicy. Reasonably priced with big portions.
Good service and attentive staff. Will be coming back with my family“

“Todo muy sabroso no se diga la barbacoa“

“Food is fantastic. Can't go wrong there. It is always busy, but can't complain because food is wort it. Itis more on the expensive side and be prepared to pay for everything separately, that's why O gave the 4 star instead of 5. Everything has an added charge apart from the expensive the food already is.“

“Best kept secret in California...and I don't say that lightly! WOW, the food is good! If you like shrimp and bacon...try the Camerones Momia. Of course that dish is rather rich...so consider getting a Tostadas de Cameron's Pescado o Pulpo to go with it...AMAZINGLY fresh and bursting with flavor! This place is EXACTLY why you need to adventure and try new places. Just wish I had found it sooner...and/or it was closer to Ohio.“

“awesome staff and great food. They are supporting the community by giving back to the families from the tragic shooting in Gilroy.“

“El Michoacano Restaurant truly impressed me with its generous portions and flavorful dishes. The seafood and meats are delicious, and the servings are big enough to satisfy even the hungriest appetite.

The shrimp burrito ahumado (wet) is seasoned to perfection, with shrimp cooked just right, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The carne asada burrito is massive, and every bite fills your entire mouth. Fair warning: it requires plenty of jaw action, but it is absolutely worth it. Yum.

When I cannot decide what to order, the two item combo with a chicken enchilada and crunchy beef taco hits the spot every time. The beans taste just like Nana used to make: refried, creamy, perfectly salted, and seasoned with all the right spices. The rice is juicy, flavorful, and pairs perfectly with everything on the plate.

Overall, I left with that pleasantly plump and satisfied feeling after a great meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for relaxed and enjoyable conversation. A wonderful spot I am excited to return to to try their monster drink cocktail menu and more seafood.“

“The taco's are consistently delicious and so worth the cost. If you're feeling like having tacos at any time, breakfast, lunch, or dinner... well, you will be doing big things if you choose to satisfy this craving at this restaurant.“

“After my motorcycle lessons at Gavilan College, I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing menu. I tried a Pacific Dopeness on tap along with the chicken satay. The service and quality were top-notch! I will definitely return for dinner next time.“

“Warning! Tacos are hella big ! These are not your street tacos that you get for a dollar, these are some hefty ass tacos. I usually only need 2 tacos to fill me up.

Meat options always taste top notch. The pastor is fresh off the trompo, the carnitas are juicy and flavorful, even the chicken has some character to it. This has to be one of my favorite spots in Gilroy for sure !“

“Went to buy cookies with the kids at Tristians and smelled the carne asada. Taco Tuesday, so took advantage of that plus purchased a carne asada burrito. Good stuff! Plus there are two tablets you can order your food the way you want it. Super easy and fast. Will be back“
