“The people at the time that I go, which is at 2:30 am, are very friendly and attentive, the bread is delicious and there is a great variety and best of all, it is open 24 hours”

“Very good food, has a "home cooked" flavor to it. I would describe this truly authentic as opposed to other Mexican restaurants in the area. Definitely worth a try.”

“It's Jack in the box, what can I say. Love the food and folk they drive thru seem cool enough for me

Parking: Tad bit tight when drive thru is backed up”

The brought our orders to the table ++

Much higher prices and smaller servings. -”

“Esta bien vergas todo mas lo taquitos”

“Ive been coming here for years. Ive moved out of salinas 20 years ago and I still drive 40 minutes when I crave Chinese food.

Its a family own business and they are always kind.”

“Greatness 💯🔥. Very friendly. Good good food.”

“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!”

“I ordered coffee, French Toast combo (French toast along with scrambled eggs and Hash-brown). Those are the best and the most freshly made hash-browns I’ve ever had yummy 😋 🤤”

“The pizza here is like no other in town. Immediately you taste the fresh ingredients. I bought a combination large pizza and I can't wait to go back for more. This is by far the best in town check them out you won't be disappointed”

“Every single time I go to this restaurant, the food is excellent! Ana is the best server! My family and extended family love, love, love everything we have tried. My current favorite is Hunan Beef. The Singapore Rice Noodles are great, eggplant, every variation of rock cod, Peking pork… They can vary any dish to your liking. The lunches are a good deal, enough food for two meals for me. However, going with my family and getting a variety of dishes is what we like the best. Usually there are six to eight of us and we get to eat all of our favorites.”

“Easily the best Denny’s in Salinas. The staff always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. Every server we’ve had has been fantastic. The manager, Maria, is especially amazing and familiar with us every time we go there for dinner. The restaurant is hardly ever busy, although it should be with the great amount of care that goes into it. Awesome food as well. Thank you, Denny’s team!”

“It was our first time going to this place and it will for sure won’t be our last it was delicious… food 10/10 and the place10/10 very welcoming as well.”

“We decided to go Thai for dinner today at this restaurant. The restaurant is clean, simple and small. We ordered Tom Yum Bowl soup, Red curry with tofu, and Cashew Chicken stir-fry. Everything turned out as expected, spice level was perfect. They don’t add steamed rice with entree, so you need to order separately. The server was nice and courteous. It seems like a family business so the entire experience was homely. Definitely recommend it.”

“They always have what I want. Buns, sweet bread, flan, cookies. $6.50 for a cake made of ham or turkey with everything! They accept EBT Yummy, fruit eaters made right in front of you. I love the green juice. Nice, sweet ladies always there. Neighborhood store that I will miss when I leave Salinas.

They always have what I want. Bolillos, sweet bread, flan, claws. $6.50 for a ham or turkey pot pie and they accept EBT. Flan for $3, many breads cost less than $1.75. The fruit waters and green juice are so delicious.”

“Fresh and tasty bagels, good coffee, adequate parking and service, takes a while to take an order and have it ready to take, employees do hustle and are very busy.”

“Been buying here since it was built. Love the food and the personnel.”

“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!”

“Come at Bengard 2-3 times a months for pickups and loading, really a nice people and company existing in Salinas, quick loading and nice place, even have a scale for truckers to check your weight.”

“First time coming. Halo Halo was bomb! Also, bought Pork Rib Adobo. So much flavor! 10/10 Found my new favorite spot! Also, Lawrence helped us and was very welcoming and funny. 😄 See you tomorrow for the Dinuguan (Chocolate Meat) 🥰”

“I was able to special order a Lemon Meringue pie and it was the best! It's hard to find a local bakery that makes lemon meringue pies. The crust was flaky, the lemon curd filling was not too tart, and the meringue was perfection! Everyone really enjoyed it! Thank you for doing special orders that are not listed on your regular menu.”

“Robyn, Susan, and Justin are the best”

“I am very disappointed that I did not know about this place until A couple days ago!!!
My coworker brought some food to work and I tried it, and I am currently obsessed!!!!

All the sauces are delicious!

Literally the best Hawaiian barbecue I’ve ever been to. Their pasta salad is incredible. I wish I could order 20 containers. The crab Rangoon‘s were really good and both the Hawaiian barbecue plate and barbecue chicken plate were incredible.

I will definitely be coming back!!! Even after finishing my food, I’m still craving more!!!!

Great service, great environment, great staff, and good quantity of portions!!!”

“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.”

“Best place ever. Super friendly staff and amazingly delicious food!”

“good food. good musi. Service was wonderful”

“Always fresh seafood. had me two cups of shrimp cocktail and one tostada fish”

“Great food, the best in town. I have been eating here for over 25 year, probably one of their original customers as I worked near by.”

“If you have children, and don't mind noise, a lot of noise, you might like Angelina's. A LOT of kids teams were also there which is nice, but when there is already excess noise, it makes it tough. 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.”

“Made with love! This is definitely a go to for me in Salinas. Not my first time going but the first time I’ve felt the NEED to let other people know about a food spot. If you want homemade tortillas, good cuts of meat and awesome service this is the spot! Ps. I’m picky when it comes to taco trucks so if you are too this one won’t disappoint.”

“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.”

“This taco truck is right down the street from my house. And it’s so good. I had tacos, burritos, and potatoes from here. And everything is so delicious. Best quality”

“Service: was a bit slow especially since the restaurant was empty.

Food: was good, generous portion of noodles. I enjoyed my food and smoothie.

Price: was reasonable came out to around $70, for 3 people.

Overall experience was good will come back if im near the area.”

“Good place, good service, and good food. Waitress Jen was great always positive attitude. Thank you”

“Our first time here and won't be our last. We ordered the new item FISH AND CHIPS. Chips were seasoned and delicious and FISH was super. Coleslaw subperb. Waitress coul.dn't have been better. THANK YOU ALL... oh and they have desserts in cases that wow.. I had to run past”

“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.”

“Been coming to this place for years love it”

“Great food, the best in town. I have been eating here for over 25 year, probably one of their original customers as I worked near by.”

“We recently went to Wing Stop after over 6 months of not trying it. One new thing I noticed and liked was their digital board that shows the progress of your order. Super helpful knowing when your food is coming out instead of just waiting around wondering or having to go to the counter and ask. We ordered the 30 piece meal with 2 drinks and spent $56.89, which honestly felt a bit pricey, but the food was mostly good. We got the Original Buffalo wings, Honey Hot Rub, and Boneless Lemon Pepper. The meal also came with fries and veggies, but we substituted the veggies with the mini corn instead, which was a pleasant surprise that was an option. I am happy the cashier mentioned we could substitute the sides.

The wings were mostly delicious overall. The Honey Hot Rub wings had a really good flavorful coating, but the flavor didn't go all the way into the wing like the others did. The Original Buffalo and Lemon Pepper definitely had more flavor throughout, so we will probably stick with our favorites next time. The fries are honestly some of my favorite fast food fries. They are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and not cut too thin, which is the way I prefer my fries. The ranch is also really good for dipping the fries and wings. I did notice this visit the ranch seemed a little more runny than I remember.

Overall, I love our go to wing flavors, extra enjoy the French fries and the ranch! We do enjoy treating to Wingstop once in a while. We will definitely be back!”

“Came in the morning ordered food for my wife and Ivan was very helpful .Its always nice and easy to order at this Salinas location and very fast . Always the fresh food and great atmosphere . You guys are amazing 💪🏽
