Aquino's Birrieria & Brunch offers a mix of experiences, with a focus on flavorful food. While the pastor tacos were disappointing, the birria burrito stands out as flavorful, juicy, and large. The birria quesadilla is also noted as huge and delicious, making it a great choice. Recent reviews highlight the amazing food, with the jalapeño cheese burrito being called the best burrito ever. The portions are generous, and the food is described as authentic and well done.
Customer service has room for improvement, as some staff seemed indifferent, but there are positive notes about the hospitality from the kind people working in the front. The atmosphere is strange, with an empty dining room and a lack of welcoming ambiance, but it is spacious enough for families with strollers. Despite some issues, the birria meat and consomé received praise, and the restaurant is recommended as a top spot for birria in Monterey. Overall, the delicious food, including the Birria Burger and carne asada fries, makes it a place worth revisiting, perhaps for a takeaway order after a long night.
