Culturas Hidalgo & Oaxaca Restaurant

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 !!!!!

Colorful hole in the wall, conveniently located close to 101. Large parking lot with handicap parking in front of the entrance or street parking. Very friendly and helpful staff, warmly greeted. Delicious, authentic food dishes from Hidalgo and Oaxaca. Extensive menu with vegetarian section. Very tasty, big portions, reasonably priced. We got take out (due to late arrival) and returned two days later for dinner. Yummy, highly recommended. Best Mexican food I recall. Apparently a family run business, lots of local patrons. Very busy in the evening, but order was served quickly. Must have restaurant stop when transiting or coming to Salinas!

The food is good. I've tried their chicken and asada tacos, as well as their pozole. The chips and salsa are good as well, especially their salsa verde.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but the food here was absolutely incredible! Beyond the delicious Mexican dishes, the waitresses were so kind, patient, and welcoming. I also loved the beautiful paintings on the walls; they added such a lovely touch to the atmosphere.
