11 Best Taco Restaurants in Salinas

“We were passing by to take freeway and turned around to try these tacos .. boy were we surprised how good they are and beat part is home made tortillas on the spot A+ Absolutely going back next time in town Recommended takes a little time to get food but well worth it“

“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!“

“Leo, the new dealer, is awesome! He’s friendly, professional, and knows how to keep the table fun and welcoming. He really makes the experience enjoyable for everyone. I’m not surprised he came from Vegas—you can definitely see the difference. Hope to see him dealing more often!“

“Well, Tacos Los Patrones really made our business mixer a PARTY! Our group LeTip of Carmel had them come over and provide the food and beverages for our mixer this week and I think it was one of the most fun events we’ve ever had. The food is so fresh and delicious - the quesadillas, the tacos (of course) and even their homemade guacamole is wonderful. So convenient and fun to have their mobile kitchen roll up to our meeting place, too. They are also so friendly and fun - totally recommend them!“

“I am having a love-hate relationship with Jack in the box right now. I love their deep fried tacos, but lately it seems that they have stopped putting the slice of cheese in the taco. and if it doesn't have the slice of cheese, it's just not worth eating. It only happens occasionally it's not something I can fully complain about until it's happening consistently. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. hopefully they come through for me.“

“Man the food was amazing... Got 3 tacos, and a bean burrito... For $24 sounds like a lot, but the burrito ? was huge, and the tacos were fresh. Being from Alabama and I love these food trucks, this the only reason I'll come to California. Even though I hate this state, but the food is worth it“

“Best place to go eat on a low budget and good fast mexican food.Mexican Pizza- family favorite, try it!

Vegetarian options: They have vegeterian options for vegans or like myself that enjoys the vegan menu during lents

Kid-friendliness: Kids love the food and have high chairs.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes my dad would fit with his mobile rascal which is an electric wheel chair basically.“

“Good food and fast service!!! Close to the freeway!“

“I visited Taco Bell in Spring 2024 in Salinas - Williams Ranch, CA next to both N Sanborn Road and E Boronda Road. The parking lot was very easy and comfortable to park in including the disabled parking. Taco Bell in Salinas, CA was my favorite restaurant that offers and delivers sodas and more. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent.“

“Food was Great like Always. Service was Top Notch. Young Man was very Polite and Respectful with a very Confused and Disrespectful Customer. Which Turned Out that Her Order was Correct. I don't know if I would of been as Polite and Respectful.“
