“Papa Chanos never disappoints! First thing I noticed walking in was how clean the restaurant was — seriously spotless. We ordered burritos, asada fries, quesadillas, and beans and rice, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were way bigger than expected — those quesadillas were LOADED. We got so much more food than we anticipated, which is always a win!
My son ordered the bean burrito and gave it a solid 10/10 — his words, not mine — and honestly I couldn’t argue with him. It was that good. The asada fries and beans and rice were just as satisfying.
The free chips and salsa bar is such a great touch. Fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to start the meal while you wait. Speaking of waiting — we barely had to! Our food came out super fast, which is impressive considering how fresh and well-made everything tasted.
If you’re looking for a go-to Mexican spot with great food, generous portions, and a clean, welcoming environment, Papa Chanos is it. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Omg the sopes, ah-mazing. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in awhile, if ever. They were busy and I can see why. 100% worth the wait, fast friendly service and off the charts good. I had the chicken which was flavorful, green sauce, just yum. Just go.“

“Visiting from out of state. Stopped by and oh my word. The food is so good! Definitely recommend this place.“
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Urban Kitchen for our wedding, and I truly cannot say enough good things about Rene and his team. From the very beginning, Rene was always available. No matter how many questions we had or when we called he answered the phone and made us feel like family. Rene’s communication and reliability meant everything to us.
What stood out most was how genuinely excited he was for our marriage and wedding day. It never felt like “just another event” from him. We could feel that he truly cared and wanted everything to be special for us.
The food was wonderful. The service was smooth and the entire experience helped take so much stress off our shoulders. We are incredibly grateful we chose Urban Kitchen for such an important day.
Thank you, Rene, for being a part of our story and helping make our wedding day memorable.

Perfect place to hang out with friends, have a few drinks, and enjoy a night out that’s different from the usual. Staff was friendly and the whole place had a really good vibe. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in Monterey!“

“My wife and I came to visit Monterey for the weekend and stayed at the red lion on our second night. The urban kitchen is located on site at the hotel. The owner/host Renee was gracious and friendly. He went out of his way with service. Also the food was delicious enjoyed the artichoke enchilada and seafood soup!! Definitely recommend staying at the red lion and eating at the Urb. kitchen“

“Our first visit to Lalla Grill Del Monte and it was fabulous! The food was delicious. Our waiter Tino was friendly, professional, and on top of everything. Later we went to the bar. It was fully stocked and the bartender, Rae, was the bomb! Worth a visit if you are in the area! Highly recommend.“
