We shared the plantain croquettes. My friend had the ginger mescalini while I had the Oaxacan cooler. She had the magic mushroom dish. I had the huitlacoche empanadas. I had the bread pudding. My friend had the chocolate mousse cake. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was great, and service was excellent.

Service and atmosphere here are above and beyond. There's also a very friendly grey poodle roaming the property and greeting customers.

Food was unfortunately underwhelming. The chicken in my mole enchiladas was a bit dry and flavorless. Mole sauce however was delicious.

The haute-rita was refreshing and had a good kick from the Serrano pepper.

Overall a very nice vibe to be in and worth trying for yourself at least once, especially on a beautiful day.

Why doesn't this place have a Michelin Star? The food is exquisite. Complex and sophisticated. A real hidden gem. Definitely worth trying if you ever pass through Moss Landing.

A very special place for many special reasons. Not only is Quinto the handsome poodle a friendly and superior host, but the food is consistently delectable, the service is excellent, the front and back garden settings are lush and luxuriant, and the art gallery is out of this world. Everything is local and yet international, unique and yet familiar. It's a balance that the owner and her staff have been offering for many years and it just gets better. For our group birthday lunch we even received complimentary hand-picked succulent bouquets to take home. Thank you for a wonderful occasion!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Haute Enchilada Cafe, Social Club, and Gallery in Moss Landing, CA, and it was truly a delightful experience -- a wonderful getaway dining destination. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in its unique and lovely atmosphere. The Haute Enchilada not only offers delicious food but also serves as a social hub and gallery, making it a must-visit destination. The totally delicious food was complemented by the beautiful restful garden sanctuary patios, offering a serene setting to enjoy a meal. The colorful dining room is also lovely if you’d like to dine indoors.The menu features a diverse selection of Latin American-themed dishes, each bursting with flavor and color. We both ordered and enjoyed the Two Haute Chicken Enchiladas al Mole – a tantalizing combination of house-made mole poblano, jack, cheddar, greens, tomato, avocado scoop, garnished with onion, cilantro, and sour cream. Diners can also choose carnitas pork, braised beef, roasted veggies, or cheese if preferred. Incredible mole sauce! The dish also included of black beans, Spanish rice, or quinoa and we enjoyed the black beans and Spanish rice.The Peruvian empanadas were another standout dish, with their vibrant colors and bold flavors. Stuffed with squash blossoms, zucchini, and cotija cheese, and accompanied by a zesty chile de arbol aioli, they were a true culinary delight.We also indulged in the shrimp enchiladas, which were filled with flavorful shrimp and other veggies, adding a delightful twist to the meal.The staff was professional and helpful and the owner, Kim, is a delight! One additional charming aspect of our dining experience was Quinto, the 4-pawed greeter—an elegant, gentle large steel gray poodle who visited our table simply to be sure we were enjoying our meal. His presence added to the warm and inviting atmosphere of The Haute Enchilada.In addition to the colorful dishes on the menu, The Haute Enchilada also features an art gallery, showcasing the work of local, regional and international artists. filled with beautiful handmade jewelry, gorgeous dishes, unique leather purses, blankets, crafts and much more.Moss Landing, where The Haute Enchilada is situated, is a charming area filled with nature's wonders.
