Los Grullenses 655 Sanborn Place, Salinas Mexican • $

“I have been to Los Grullenses many times over the years, and it remains one of my favorite places in Salinas for tacos. It’s the kind of spot I keep coming back to when I’m craving good tacos.

My go to are tacos al pastor tacos and a chicken sope, and both were delicious. The corn tortillas for the tacos are grilled with some of the flavorful juices from the meat, which gives them an extra layer of flavor. The al pastor was juicy, well seasoned, and full of flavour, and the tortillas really helped bring everything together. The chicken sope was also very tasty. The sope itself had a nice little crispiness to it, the beans were good, and the chicken was flavorful and delicious. Everything is seasoned well, it really works. My husband ordered the tripas tacos, and these were probably the highlight of the meal. The tripas were crispy, flavorful, and cooked exactly the way we like them. If you enjoy tripas, this is definitely one of my favorite ways to have them. We also ordered Jamaica, which unfortunately was just okay. The biggest disappointment was that the drink was served warm despite having ice in it, so it wasn’t nearly as refreshing as it should have been.

Overall, the tacos are flavorful, the meats are cooked well, and the grilled tortillas make a noticeable difference. Definitely one of my go-to taco restaurants in Salinas, and I’ll continue coming back for those tripas and al pastor tacos!”

Their ambiance here is okay and though this place can feel old and rundown at certain times.

In addition, along with the normal sodas, they have a few shakes though last time I went recently they didn’t have boba. Service here is great and usually doesn’t take long though employees can be a bit hard to understand sometimes due to their accents. Prices here are pretty reasonable, especially with the portions you get and restrooms, while not the cleanest, are fine.”

“I’ve been to a lot of bagel shops over the years, and this place has quickly become one of my favorites. The bagels are incredibly fresh with the perfect balance of a crisp exterior and soft, chewy inside. The sandwiches are generously made, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything is prepared with care.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. The service is fast, the atmosphere is warm, and you can tell they take pride in what they do.

It’s the kind of local business that’s easy to support because they consistently deliver great food and great customer service. If you’re anywhere near Salinas and looking for breakfast or lunch, do yourself a favor and stop in—you won’t be disappointed. Easily 5 stars, and I’ll definitely be back!”

It was so loud my husband and I had to lean across the table and almost shout to hear eachother. Food was ok, not good enough to make a special trip for. Service...about 80% self serve, and had to chase down someone if we ever needed anything.”

EL PRIMO TAQUERIA 1390 Nogal Dr, Salinas Mexican • $

“I got the birra torta here and two tacos al pastor. The tacos were good but the torta was surprisingly delicious upon first bite due to the quality of the birria. The overall taste profile at this location is balanced and deep, meaning it is well-seasoned and flavorful without being excessive or greasy. It is food that can be eaten every day without feeling overloaded. It is also at a very nice location next to a park and lots of trees.

I randomly met the owner one day prior at an unrelated place, and I can see that there is a reason he confidently invited me to try his food, where his lovely wife operates the business and cooking! It is because he knows he can deliver a great food experience! Through word of mouth, I know that I am not the only one who liked the torta here.

There is quite an extensive menu, and I will definitely be back to try more items. I highly recommend the birria. Overall a great spot!”

“Taking a road trip up the coast and I finally got to stop here and eat/drink after enjoying some of their beers at home. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious, service in the beer garden was great, and as always the beer was on point. Had the Paloma Pizzazz which is good if you like grapefruit and their guest beer the Muddlin Forte was sooo good. The only negative was they were out of all their large t-shirts so I'll just have to go shopping online. Hope to be in the area again soon to try some more things.”

My son ordered two rolls, including the fried California roll, and honestly, that ended up being my favourite! It was so tasty and had the perfect mix of flavors. Our waitress, Monica, was great. She was sweet, kind, and attentive. We had great food, great and fast service, and a really enjoyable lunch with my son. We would definitely return and recommend it.”

From the very first time I came in, she was so welcoming, helpful, and easy to talk to. She actually takes the time to have conversations with customers instead of just rushing everyone through the line, and that really makes people feel comfortable.

She did an amazing job taking my order, made sure everything was right, and constantly checked that I had everything I needed. Even though we had never met before, she treated me with so much kindness and respect. Employees like Rachel are hard to find these days because she genuinely cares about the customers and creates such a positive experience. She definitely deserves recognition for all the hard work she puts in. Give my girl the raise she deserves! 🫶🏻”
