So to start off our waiter was really nice and very attentive so that was good anyways the first thing I ordered was an horchata and honestly it was mid at best the only thing that was really holding it back was the fact that it was so watery I had no like creamy sort of like milky texture to it it just tasted like it had milk rice cinnamon and sugar but no condensed milk and lechera which is like one of the most important parts that give it that signature flavor but anyways after that I wanted something warm so I got un atole de cacahuate and that was pretty decent at first but then as I started to taste it more and more the flavor was getting stronger so it is pretty good and then for the actual food honestly the rice was so good I really liked it it had really good flavor I like the little vegetable pieces that it had in it and for the beans honestly the texture was pretty bad the beans were quite running instead of being more thick cuz that's how I normally refried beans are so they needed to let them cook a little longer so that they would get thicker and then for the actual pascala and honestly I thought it was going to be basically the same like regular mole but just green because that's what it says on the menu that it's green mole but anyways if it felt like very mushy instead of like a thick consistency that normally mole is oh so you can see in the image all the water on the side which can give you an idea of how liquidy this was also what was kind of weird is that it felt like if you Blended a bunch of vegetables together and then added water and put it over some boiled chicken and lastly the tortillas are realyy good they are nice and thin and also for the pascala it has like no flavor I was putting it on the tortilla with the beans and rice and I could literally taste the beans more than the actual sauce that's supposed to have more flavor and I also forgot to mention the beans had really good flavor as well just a texture messed them up

Went with 2 hungry vegan kids on a road trip and they did not disappoint. Even my 5 year old who needs everything to be exactly what she's used to, thought the black beans were amazing. My husband didn't love his burrito, but he hadn't had cactus before. We switched plates and he was happy (and I was too. That burrito was fantastic!). Everyone speaks English, but will greet you in Spanish. It really felt like being in Mexico again, and we loved it!

Great authentic food. Highly recommend

The food was yummy, we were quickly seated and promptly attended to. The interior really needs a good deep clean. Like the tables and chairs were clean, but it's clear that's the stuff that gets cleaned, and the rest kinda neglected.

I am here right now, enjoying an amazing dish, squash, blossoms, and mushrooms in a green pumpkin seed molé with rice and beans tortillas. Super flavorful, not at all oily really excellent!

If you are visiting Monterey or Salinas definitely this is a place to get a very good Mexican food. I highly recommend this place.

I love nopales (cactus) and huitlacoche (corn mushroom) and rarely do restaurants have them, but this place does and they are awesome. Love the different options and the prices are good.

Happened upon this gem while passing through Salinas. The best Oaxacan spot we’ve been to yet. We ordered half dark/green mole, quesabirrias, and pozole which were all packed with flavor. Agua frescas were also refreshing. Our server was so helpful in giving recommendations as it was our first time. Parking can be a bit difficult to find when busy so you might have to circle around.

To be honest the food is good. The flavor is on point. The lady working in the front was rude, but at the same time the place was busy to so ,I can assume she felt overwhelmed or something. We got a to go order and let me tell you,the portions were small and it's not worth the price of a full meal. The small containers can only hold so much. For anyone reading this if you want a to go plate of food worth your money El Zacatecano on Alisal is the best way to go and the food there is 5 🌟 they use the right container to put their to go plates. Anyway this restaurant does serve good flavored food but because of those two experiences I couldn't put 5 star sorry !!!!!
