I love the food at Los Grullenses. My go to order is the pastor quesadilla and a large of beans and rice. I can make three meals out of this order. But, if I’m honest, I really make the drive over from Monterey for their green salsa. It is sooo good. The atmosphere isn’t the best so I get my food to go.
The constant struggle is the salsa. I’m not quite sure what the deal is. They make you pay for salsa, which I’m grouchy about but it’s my favorite so I’m willing to pay. The order for salsa is literally called “4 salsas” and the menu photo shows 4 tiny containers of salsa. Despite ordering it, I almost never get this in my to-go bag, sometimes it’s 2 or 3 tiny containers but rarely 4. So then I have to ask and I hate having to ask because I am paying for it, it’s part of my order, it shouldn’t be so hard. And I order via DoorDash takeaway so there is no room for a language barrier, it’s as plain as day: 4 salsas.
I will continue to go and recommend LG but make sure you check your orders before leaving. Would definitely be 5 star for me if this wasn’t such a consistent issue.

Best authentic Mexican food. Every time I go to Salinas to pick up, I make it a priority to stop here. I always get their agua chillé, asada tacos or the plate with jalapeños and onions on the side.

The establishment offers exceptionally prepared tripe tacos; however, customers should specify a preference for extra crispiness when ordering.

#1 4 tacos. Food: Meat tender and flavorful. Only downside is the tortillas had no flavor. Service: Spanish only, so was really difficult when they were calling out orders to be picked up. Didn't understand anything and had to go by sight of what I ordered. Atmosphere: nothing special just a hole in the wall place. What I did find amusing though, one wall had religious pictures on it, and across from it the other wall had a wanted poster. All in all 8/10

I love Mexican food. I came here because I wanted authentic food . I had seen a post a while ago from a famous Latino singer who came here. He saids great things,I pass by once /twice a month and had never stopped. I am glad I finally gave this place a try. They have vegetarian options plus lot of meat for those that eat meat. I ordered veggie sopes plus an order of chips and salsa. Everything was delicious and authentic. The salsa's were great, plus freshly made chips (you can't get any better). I would recommend to try this place out

Overall ambiance wasn't great. It had a run down vibe to it. But I tried burrito & that was delicious. Also the service was lightening fast.

Really solid tacos and quite cheap. It's kind of dumpy inside, but if you're passing through and looking for a taco this is a good spot.
Pretty quick and good food
Best mexican food must try
