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

“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.“

“I had the chicken noodle soup and my friend had a curry noodle soup. Both were excellent. Service was fast and friendly. Shrimp spring rolls were ginormous. Came in last night in the place was packed, no seats, left and had Mexican food. Tonight, one table free, and I enjoyed my dinner.“

“Super Fresh! Super Delish! It really made my day & hit the spot. What a pleasant surprise to find a great meal when you’re on the road. It’s a quick stop if you’re traveling through Salinas on the 101 and well worth your time. You won’t be disappointed.“

“the food was authentic and delicious.“

“This is definitely the best pizza in town! The crust, the toppings, etc are all so wonderful. The people who work here as well as the owners are great too!“

“Lovely experience in this restaurant. It's my first time having Pecking Duck in CA and it's the best. The first time I had this beautiful dish was in Texas and I thought I would only be able to have it there. But this place totally exceeded my expectations and matched it. The egg tarts were so flaky with the custard having a beautiful texture full of flavor and not overly sweet. Just how like desserts. If I'm ever in Salinas again, this is where I will come back to eat Chinese food. Oh and the Chinese Broccoli amazing!“

“Our go to favorite Chinese Restaurant weather its eat in or take out, really good food, generous portions.“

“THE BEST. I used to live close and its the only place for Tortilla's. As far as I am concerned if you haven't tried them your missing out on the Best tortillas ever. An awesome local family bus❣ 5 + Stars I am going to be in the area over the next week....YAY“

“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.“

“The food is absolutely delicious....Mmmmm, the best In town!“

“I really like the food at this restaurant. I had always preferred it—until today. The service is atrocious. It used to be friendly and courteous under the previous owners, but now the manager (or the person in charge) was incredibly rude. I don't know; I felt discriminated against by the way she treated me. When I tried to tell her why I was unhappy with her attitude, she simply ignored me and shrugged, leaving me talking to myself. That is why I’m giving zero stars for the poor service and only one star on Athmosphere for making me feel so uncomfortable while eating there. They should really just offer takeout, because their bad attitude makes me not want to come back.“

“Excelente experiencia 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍“

“nice place to go eat.. with familia“

“All food we ordered was amazing… It actually looked so good we wanted to take pictures but didn’t because we just enjoyed it. 😊 Our party ordered the rooster sandwich with sweet potato fries, onion rings, garlic, fries, wings, and a pepperoni pizza. We all shared because it was so good! Highly recommend from two adults and two teen / high school boys with big appetites! Great atmosphere and service as well.“

“The pizza is good. Crunchy crust. Just how I like it👍“

“I love this place have been going to it since I was 7 I’m almost 18 now !! This place is very good never had any problems it’s family owned prices are amazing my whole family loves this place and we get it pretty often and the workers always recognize my family super sweet the food is honestly amazing no other place can top this !! China center is my favorite and always will be !!💗“

“I haven't had Mountain Mike's Pizza in years and decided to have it again. It was very good, we enjoyed it. We ordered a Mt Vegimore with chicken and Sun dried tomatoes. There was a lot of topping on the pizza and it wasn't soggy at all.“

“Always greeted w/ a smile and a friendly good morning! Service is always great and the food is always on point!“

“Been going here for years with the parents since it was at the old location. Was kinda bummed when it burnt down but glad it's back open. Food is still great. Probably little too much for one person but I eat alot so I have no complaints.“

“We enjoyed dinner at Grillin & Chillin Alehouse. We started with sharing a pretzel. It was ok. The bread was fresh and soft, however the portion wasn't large. The mustard was tasty, the cheese wasn't great. For mains, I had a veggie calzone and my husband had a bacon avocado burger. The calzone was better than I expected. It had a lot of cheese and a good amount of veggies. There was a nice amount of spinach, which I think was put in uncooked and softened with the heat inside. My husband thought the burger was very good. He said the beef was high quality. There was a lot of avocado which was actually guacamole. They have lots of TV screens with different games.“

“Our family loves it!! And the girls are so good to us!! ❤️“

“This is a casual recently remodeled, local Taqueria in Hollister, CA in the Ace Hardware parking lot next to the liquor store. Has a nice clean, modern vibe with multiple flatscreen TVs to watch all the games and a small bar area. You can get your order to-go or dine-in. They have a nice menu board with pictures and prices. You order at the counter and then they will either call your number for you to come get the food or they will bring it to your table depending on who's working. I haven't tried everything on the menu, but the tacos are pretty darn good. I got the Carne Asada tacos which you can get 4 for around $10-$12 something like that. They are nice and juicy and the sauce is a little spicy but not overwhelming. My daughter got the shrimp tacos, which looked pretty good, and were extremely juicy looking and so good she even ordered more when she was finished and at $3 each not bad. The only thing and I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly when I ordered nachos a while back, they were not that great as they used what look like 7-Eleven cheese. For the price for the nachos and being a Taqueria I was expecting they use grilled cheese and melted on the order not some liquid cheese from a bottle or jar. So basically, to recap, I would highly recommend the tacos as they are delicious, but hold off on the nachos until they get better cheese. The only thing I wish they would put on the tacos would be a little bit of cilantro, but other than that they're still pretty good. Non-alcoholic beverages are a little bit overpriced. I mean for one can of soda it's $3 and for 1 bottle of the Mexican sodas, which she usually get at the store for $1 - $1.25 are around $4.25-$4.50 for 1 bottle.... they probably get them at Costco and cost under a dollar apiece and I get it. They have to mark it up and make a profit but that's ridiculous. Either way, I still recommend this Taqueria as the services good and the tacos are definitely good!!! 👍🏼“

“Everything was delicious! The ceviche was fresh, the flavors were on point, and the portions were great. The service was even better—the young lady helping us was super kind and attentive the whole time. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“pizza was really good. definitely going back“

“I grew up on the last honest pizza. I moved from CA in 1988. every time I travel back To CA, it's the first thing I eat when I land and the last thing I eat before I leave. I hope that they would expand to the south. preferably Charleston S.C.“

“Chef Lee's is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in town! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Their General Tso's Chicken is crispy and tangy, the dumplings are handmade and packed with flavor, and the hot & sour soup is the best I've had. The portions are generous, and the service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and attentive. Whether dining in or taking out, the experience is always fantastic. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine!“
