“The online ordering made it easy. I'd rather not have to interact with anyone. Ordered and paid online through their app, which was easy to use. Went to pick it up and it was ready at the front for me. Easy. I ordered some breakfast crunchwraps. Highly recommended the Cali one.“

“Outstanding! I had the huaraches birria and was delighted with the flavors and textures. I also had the sangria preparado which was sweet and savory and delicious. Husband had the enchilada with chicken. Chicken was most and perfectly done and he cleaned his whole plate!“

“Man the food was amazing... Got 3 tacos, and a bean burrito... For $24 sounds like a lot, but the burrito ? was huge, and the tacos were fresh. Being from Alabama and I love these food trucks, this the only reason I'll come to California. Even though I hate this state, but the food is worth it“

“I love this place. I’ve been coming here for years since I was a little girl. literally my favorite go to taco place & im very picky with the meat I eat and if it has fat & the meat at this place doesn’t which is perfect. The tortas are also bomb and i’ve tried others at other places and they just aren’t as good as the ones here . I’ve also tried different tacos at other places and the ones here beat them everytime .“

“I'm not from Salinas. So it's not fair to rank or rate this restaurant to others nearby. But I'd say it was quintessential and has an authentic style for California Mexican restaurant.How can you go wrong with local, small business?First time eating a pickled carrot. Tasty, tart and a hint of spice.The four Tacos #1 was amazing.AMAZINGIt's off a main road so easy access but also traffic noise.
Parking: Plenty of parking for the size of the restaurant.
Kid-friendliness: Kids like food too, you know? Feed them
Wheelchair accessibility: Access.“

“Great food and terrific pricing for these times! This is a special Taqueria truck that is parked consistently at Fourth Street and San Jose St. in San Juan Bautista. Good selection of items; my favorites are their burrito made with chili verde or their yummy tacos with choice of meat. As of now (12/2024),Taco Tuesday’s price is $1.50/taco (also 3-9 pm on Thursdays.)
You can’t go wrong with Taqueria el Milagro (a genuine miracle!)“

We highly recommend Taquitos Restaurant. Today was Father’s Day and the Fajitas were delicious! My husband had the best Father’s Day dinner out. Thank you Taquitos you are the best!“

“Few things in life are as satisfying as tacos crafted with care, and the combination of tripa or lengua on handmade tortillas is a culinary experience worth savoring.
The tripa (beef tripe) is perfectly prepared—crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside, with a rich depth that only proper seasoning and technique can achieve. The lengua (beef tongue) is melt-in-your-mouth tender, subtly seasoned to highlight its natural buttery flavor. Together, they create a perfect balance of textures and taste. Highly recommend them“

“Ya know a place so well, that when you move to a different region in this country, nothing compares to your favorite Mexican Restaurant. This was it, from their Fajitas to the breaded shrimp and above all the steak. I miss this restaurant and the owners. I'm glad to see it's still open. This review comes all the way from Arkansas. GOD Bless.“

“Initially weren’t sure we descended upon the right place as we saw the sign on a gas station, but we were craving shawarma so we gave it a try and we’re glad we did. We were welcomed in by very friendly people. The food was AMAZING. I got the chicken shawarma salad and my husband got the beef and lamb shawarma plate. We devoured it in our car. There’s currently no seating but it’s in the plans to add some outdoor seating. Would def come back again“

“I came to Mama Lupita's for lunch one day after several hours in the court room listening to juror selection procedures. So I had pretty high expectations and an empty stomach.
There's not too much to say about the restaurant itself. It's somewhat bare, but it's the kind of raw, undesigned design where you can be pretty sure you're about to eat some incredible Mexican food.
But let's verify that. How good really was it?
To begin my meal, I was provided the standard chips and salsa, as well as a consommé that was more like a fiery noodle soup and was quite enjoyable. The chips tasted fresh and rich. But I was let down by the salsa. It really just tasted like watered down cayenne powder, with no interesting notes in flavor or texture. Thus it was also unjustifiably spicy, which is a terrible sin for a salsa to commit.
I ordered the costillas con nopales, and they arrived on an enormous platter with fresh, housemade corn tortillas. The dish was also quite spicy, but this time it felt earned. There were layers in the rich scarlet broth (it looked much brighter in person), some of which were supplied by the meat and nopales. It was a cohesive dish, and not like anything I've had before. The beans and rice were surprisingly good, as I thought they had an anemic appearance. The tortillas were intriguing as well. Not as succulent as a typical housemade corn tortilla but with a curious chewiness and leathery exterior that gave them a delightful mouthfeel. I wish I could have had a few more.
I had a pretty good lunch, and I had the good fortune to discover that Mama Lupita's also has rather comfortable bathrooms, which beat the courthouse stalls by a mile.
If you're looking to beat the jury duty blues I wouldn't off the bat recommend this place (there are plenty of others to try, and I have found better not too much farther away) but given the short walk and decent food I wouldn't tell you not to give it a shot -- just don't take that as legal advice.“

“This is a nice place to eat. The place is supper clean, the ladies there keeps on cleaning and takes away any plates that are not being used.
The food is served very quick, that means that the chefs are on top of the game. We requested to drain a cup and they were very kind to offer us a new one.
The food is fresh and comes hot.“

“Food is good but you had better brush up on your Spanish, your going to need it. Oh and they have Salsa dancing lesson. How cool is that.
Vegetarian options: Non meet eaters can find stuff to eat.
Parking: Their parking lot is small and we had to back our way out. It was tricky. We almost were blocked in by other cars.“
“100% Delicious, Comfort food ! it tastes like my Mama's home cooking to go! My son loves the quesabirria tacos and the walking Taco. Loved the homemade tortilla tacos, the flautas, and the Gorditas. It's worth the drive to pick up my order. I call my order in ahead, and they have great customer service.“

“I stopped by this place on the way to the Laguna Seca raceway. I really loved their tacos. Ordered three because usually it’s my normal size in SF, but their tacos were huge and very tasty. The service was great. I will stop there again for sure.I read many reviews about the price. Probably, it was a good price for me compared to the city prices“

“I was craving their delicious, unforgettable sopes.
As soon as we walked in, the lady greeted us. She said we could sit anywhere and she was so friendly to all of us, including my baby.
The food was scrumptious. My mom loved her Caldo de Res. Her caldo came with a side of rice and hand made tortillas.
My enchilada plate was so delicious.
My daughter ordered an OJ and it’s so fresh. They make it right then and there.
It’s so calm inside- just the server, the customers, and the person cooking.
They have plants inside and a vase of sunflowers.
In addition, they have a bathroom for customers only.
Of course, the only downside is parking. Park on the street or behind the building but, you’ll be lucky if you can find any because there’s only a few spaces in the back. Do not park in the super market parking; they will tow your car.
Kid-friendliness: High chairs are available.“

“Bacon Breakfast burrito is dang good! Loved the beans. Didn't like the salsa. Didn't have flavor. Torta carne asada was not great. The meat was chopped up so tiny. And it has lettuce and tomato.. not much going on. The bread was good. The food took awhile..but that didn't bother us. It means they were actually cooking it.
This store is clean and has a lot going on. TVs to watch while you eat. Tons of drinks and Liquor and even non alcoholic. Snacks, chips, candy, and things. Very cool little store.. customer service was good. I'd definitely go back.“

“I go here for Caldo de res, and imo they have the best fried breaded chicken around. Their Menudo broth is a little fattier Mama Lupitas and Fish n Chips but comes with more than just tripe which I love, and its available regularly everyday. The lady at the register is always super nice and service is always quick. Prices are very fair for what you get.“

“I had to get my windshield replaced in pajaro, and the guy said it would take about an hour so we went out for breakfast and found this Mexican restaurant and I mean to tell you this is a real Mexican restaurant. Absolutely the best food I have ever tasted. Just went there this morning. My girlfriend was asking them for some pico de gallo they don't carry that, because all they do is carry the freshest of fresh everything so they chopped up and made her some salsa on the spot. :-)! I couldn't believe it. You do not get service like this anywhere else. Now the only drawback was I don't speak Spanish I'm half Hawaiian half Irish I don't speak Spanish I should but I'm too old I should have used Google translate because there is no English spoken here that's why you know it's a real Mexican restaurant haha I love this place I gave them as much as a tip as I could. Because I'm a broke dog. But I still gave them a nice big tip because they deserved it. The atmosphere was wonderful there weren't too many people this early in the morning having breakfast. So we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have seen anywhere. So I left it just as clean. Everything was shiny. The paint was nice. No gang riding on the wall. Isn't that amazing these days? Wonderful wonderful place I hope anybody who reads this goes there and gives it a try for some real Mexican food and the best salsa in the world.“

“I lived in Salinas many years ago, discovered Eva's Cafe by accident and was truly overwhelmed with the food. the atmosphere, and the service. So much so that I brought my friends at every opportunity. I left the area for about 15 years and upon my return, the first chance I got, returned to Eva's. I was so pleased they were still there and again bring my friends over and over. I have traveled the world in my career and can say with honesty Eva's has the best Mexican food on the planet.“
