Stopped by for lunch here with my lady and the food was very delicious. The staff are all very friendly and kind. They have a chip and salsa bar which is a plus because you get to choose how much you want to eat and the chips are freshly cooked. If you're in the area, this place is a definite must to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We'll definitely be back here in the future. Thank you Papa Chano's.

This place is right next door to nacho bizness and is so much better than them!
Absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Monterey. Ordered the chile relleno burrito - it was amazing!
The staff was really nice and accommodating.
The menu has a ton of choices- wanted to order it all to try.
And they sell bottles of beer that you can pop open and drink while you wait.
Will definitely be back

Really liked the food here! They have free chips, the prices are reasonable and they have large portion sizes. It’s in the middle of downtown Monterey and you can get ice cream from revival across the afterwards ?
