50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Prunedale

“I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. The food is always amazing. Never disappoints. But nothing beats having the tag team Gabby and Arianna wait on you! I came in on a busy afternoon, but these two wonderful servers were quick to seat me and get drinks going (along with chips and salsa!). They were running all around trying to make sure all their tables and customers were taken care of. Such an amazing team those two! I wish all restaurants had servers like this. Food was delicious, and the service was even better. The BEST service comes from both Gabby and Arianna. Good job ladies!“

“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 .“

“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“

“Muy deliciosos los tacos de canasta. La salsa esta muy deliciosa igualmente! Muy recomendados!“

“We were passing by to take freeway and turned around to try these tacos .. boy were we surprised how good they are and beat part is home made tortillas on the spot A+ Absolutely going back next time in town Recommended takes a little time to get food but well worth it“

“Food was delicious, serves could of been better!!“

“We have lived in Salinas for over 50 years and can truly say Taquitos is amazing. The food is always on point perfect! The restaurant employees are always so nice. They make you feel at home. 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!“

“Tried this place today for lunch and the service was quick! The staff weree genuinely friendly and happy.
I ordered a super asada burrito, chile relleno , and a taco bowl.
The food is amazing and great quality. Also I love the salsa bar they have !
I will be coming again for lunch to try different items on the menu!“

“Awesome food my favorite every time I go Salinas 🏅“

“Humongous is the word to use for their supreme burrito. The carne asade filling has a pronounced grilled taste which is lovely, definitely will return for it again. The al pastor taco is yummy too.

Lady who took our order is super friendly and sweet. Highly recommend this place.“

“muy rico todo los tamales son de primera Calidad y los tacos mas ricos que he comido gracias por su dedication a su labor.“

“This lovely restaurant has excellent service. I got a chicken taco\sopa lunch combo. It was a lot of food! Food was served with 2-extra fresh made tortillas. So it was ironic that the chips tasted like bargain-store bought. The chicken was tasty but a little plain with a slight odd aftertaste. I know people don't usually think much about the water, but the water was filtered and yummier than usual. All in all I had a good meal, but I often go to a nearby place that I prefer.“

“great tasting food it was a packed little place with people waiting outside to be seated“

“We have been coming here for many years. The carnitas are always on point and delicious. We usually get an order of carnitas and buche to make tacos at home. Recently, we decided to try their tacos and they are pretty good. There was nowhere to sit inside. Service was good. Cash only!!“

“They ALWAYS present great food and they are just the nicest people you’d want to meet ! Sadly we’re moving to Maine and will definitely miss THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Monterey County ! Thanks for all the great food and smiles Chris Will“

“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.

“My husband and I visited this place before starting our hand rail tours, arriving with quite the appetite. We ordered the blackened shrimp quesadilla, which was both incredibly filling and delicious—the shrimp were impressively large and the portions generous. We also enjoyed the chips and salsa, which were very tasty. However, the highlight of our visit was the outstanding customer service. The gentleman who greeted us was exceptionally kind, charismatic, and accommodating. It's a pity we live in Hayward because we would definitely return! The restaurant is very clean and prices are great!“

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.“

“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.“

“Chorizo Tacos were delicious $3 each. Such a steal! Love them.“

“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.“

“muy rico en verdad les doy super like fue exactamente lo que quería 😍 un desayuno como en casa“

“You just never know when the last time you will eat at a restaurant is, for me it was when I first had a burrito and a quesadilla from here. So long, South Main Street Mexican food. It was a good time, but I spent more work making it taste better, and La Costa came all the way through and needed no adjustments. This is my new normal!“

“First time me and my husband went to try this restaurant. We were beyond pleasantly happy with what we had and everything was perfect service, food, ambience. definitely recommend it to anyone“

“I like to go on Sundays for the barbecue. The truth is that it is very good and they serve you well. You can almost always order a small glass of consommé to enjoy it while you wait to be served with handmade tortillas and it is very delicious.“

“I'm comparing to other taquerias, not some other type of restaurant. This is not a fine-dining sort of place, but if you want a quick meal in a casual atmosphere, this is a good choice.This has the feel of home cooking, complete with the attentive hostess/proprietor. She was delightful and offered us a sample of today's special (caldo de albondigas) before we ordered. It was delicious, so we went with that. We also ordered a couple of asada tacos--super tasty and she got my husband's special-order just right.The place is small and authentic feeling. They also have a comfortable outdoor seating area, which is where we chose to sit.The service was very fast.“

“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.“

“Best Mexican Seafood I have ever had! 5⭐️’s“

“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.“

“I love it for taco Tuesday when I'm in the area but not as good as Maria's taco Tuesday's in seaside on Fremont Ave across from O'Riley's she got the Vibe that you want & looking for & it's LGBTQ friendly ? she's a Doll♥️“

“Muy Buen Lugar Con Buena Vista Y Además Escuchando La Música Que Te Gusta Pero Sobre Todo Viendo Lo Que No Te Importa O Lo Que No Debes!“

“Ok..so this is the lunch truck right off of HWY 101 and 129. I be stopped by a few times now..great breakfast burrito..but their best is the tacos con papas! One of my coworkers got their cell number so we just call our order in..wait 10 minutes and head out to pick them up. Always nice hot and ready. Prices are reasonable and he always has people lined up to buy, which is always a good sign. So far everything we have ordered ha been made to order, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend!“

“Great place to stop and eat good Mexican food. The woman at the front is always so helpful and friendly! Have been here multiple times and will continue to come back.Writing this review because there was an extremely rude customer that cussed at the employee and she handled it very professionally.“
