“This place is small but the food and the customer service were phenomenal. Great first impression with everything. If we do go back to monterey , you best believe we will be back to Keiki's. We would have gone again but they are closed on weekends. At least the weekend we were there.”
“The best place for breakfasts in Marina. Hometown feel! The staff is always welcoming and make ya have that coming home feeling to family. Prices are reasonable and food is good.”
“My friends and I were headed to a different Chinese restaurant in Marina, but saw Ho-Wah and entered it. Boy were we glad! We were greeted, told what are the specials and delighted to note that the chef is popular for his vegan cuisine. We had egg rolls busting with veggies and crisp edamames for appetizers. The stir fried asparagus was out of the world! Garlic eggplant was perfectly flavored. The Hong Kong noodles were pan fried and we didn't feel guilty eating it. The sesame bun dessert was out of this world good!!! The owner was very friendly and food was made fresh and served fast. Other notable thing was the cleanliness of the bathroom being exceptionally clean. Highly recommend this gem in Marina!”
“The wide variety of both hot and cold sandwiches with the freshest ingredients is one of the reasons they deserve 5 stars. Marcus, the owner is personable, professional and always makes a delicious sandwich. The Reuben is absolutely incredible, and the portions are generous as well.Therefore, Locals is my #1 go to when visiting family in Marina!”
“Exceptional, incredible, amazing! The reviews do not lie! If you are looking for something out of the norm for Mexican food, please go here!! The staff were incredibly nice and everything was excellent and had its own special flair, you can't get this at a usual place. Best complete meal I've had in a long time!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Foods always great, adding a review to let people know they have a new bar inside! Drinks, modelos/Alvarado street brewery on tap. They said it should be ready to go in a week or so.”
“I go here almost every day and always have a great experience. It's way cheaper than sushi, and you get far more. The sauces are fantastic, too. Try the spicy mix you won't be disappointed! Great spot, my new go-to!”
“This is an excellent spot. Got to this place via a random search on my way back from Carmel. The people serving here are super nice. Made us feel instantly comfy even with a new born in a stroller. Food was super good. Fast service. Crab fried rice is a must try. They dont serve jasmine rice with the curries by ”
“Some of the best pupusas, perfect size, not too big or small. Pan con pollo was so good. We traveled from San Francisco just to come here. Yes there are plenty of restaurants in San Francisco and I love a few of them but I don't mind coming here once in a while. It's great and the beach is close by.”
“Get ready for a flavor fiesta that'll have your taste buds doing the salsa at Tico's! Despite its modest size, this place packs a punch that'll leave you craving more. As I stepped in, I caught Tico himself in action, orchestrating culinary magic in the kitchen. The food was so divine that I just had to snag a pic with the maestro himself to commemorate the moment. From flavor to service, Tico's hits all the right notes with its charming mom-and-pop vibe. If you find yourself in town, do yourself a favor and pay Tico a visit--it's a taste sensation you won't want to miss! ”
“I'm just here to leave a review on behalf of my best friend and I. We are former CSUMB graduates and this was our SPOT! We miss it all the time, we talk about it all the time. Whenever we visit they still remember our face and our usual orders. To the boss Lady you know who you are We miss your restaurant, the great hospitality you provide and comfortable ambiance! The chicken tortilla soup still is the best soup ever and I've yet to find a contender. I still dream about the blackened chicken plate. Please please support this local family owned restaurant. You won't be disappointed. Don't pay attention to any bad reviews because they speak more about the character of the reviewer and they speak NOTHING about the character of this little restaurant. We can't wait to visit again, please don't forget us! With Love and appreciation, Steph & Sam”
“Well the reviews were perfect they do have the best fish and chips the cod was amazing. Great selection of beer!! Kelly was our waitress, bartender, and she was so friendly it's like we had known her forever. The pub looked just like you would have expected. Excellent historical artifacts. It was great to see people playing cribbage and enjoying themselves. Hope to see you again soon!!”
“Great service with great people! Great food with an assortment of customizations from jalapeños, bacon, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and so much more! Will be going ”
“I got there 30 minutes before closing which I felt awful about but they still served us which I greatly appreciated. Super sweet women and the food is phenomenal. Also a nice cozy spot I will definitely go ”
