“Being an old-ish Army Vet, I had to try the SOS, as it was the go to breakfast in the 80's Army. I was not disappointed with the flavor or the memories! Great, efficient servers, service and food. 12 stars outta 10 stars! (When the VA appointments send me this way again, I'll definitely be getting my breakfast here!)”

“Great food and awesome service. Worth the visit.”

“been there twice already, soo yummy, will be back again. Waiter was incredible kind in explaining the different types of ramen since some of the ingredients are in a different language.”

“My husband and I spend a lot of time and money at Michelin restaurants, and this restaurant, while it does not have a Michelin star, should have one. The food is excellent. We had the burrata, ratatouille, and branzino. All of it was fresh and delicious. We will
Be back without question.”

“Loved every aspect of this place . Casual , fun , items I have not seen before and the flavors were so good . We were visiting from out of town but will definitely come back . Hesitant to leave such a good review because I don’t want there to be a line when we come back . 🙂”

“This place has some really really really yummy food the bomb.com”

“I am from Seaside and I have to tell you this has to the best breakfast in Monterey County by far I will return”

“I have been coming here for years. The best Mexican Food for the best price!!!”

“today an amazing couple paid for our tab. We are a family of 6 trust when I say our bill was not cheap. Thank you so much and may God bless. The service is always great, the food is always on point.”

“I had a fantastic meal here recently. The food was served hot and everything tasted incredibly fresh.

I particularly loved the noodle dish, which was packed with colorful broccoli and tender pieces of meat. Each plate was portioned generously, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying lunch. I will definitely be back soon to try more of their menu.”

“The best kept secret in Monterey! First of all the FRESH hand-made corn tortillas! OMG! Best in town without question. Huevos rancheros and Chilaquiles were amazing! Authentic. You want spicy? They have the spicy. You prefer mild? Their tomatillo is super mild and DELICIOUS! Fast service with a smile. Plenty of parking. AND THE PRICES ARE SO LOW”

“Excellent boba! Will be visiting again”

“Jose’s the absolute best Mexican restaurant in the area! Their food is delicious, portions are great! Consider stopping by and supporting a local family owned business! Also available on DoorDash!!”

“Wonderful restaurant. Great for single diners!!”

“I recommend getting your kids involved with the wonderful experience.”

“excellent customer service ..DELICIOUS cookies , banana bread, cherry pound cake ..100% recommend. thank you Kim:).”

“The cappuccino was perfectly made. Love the strong coffee aroma. A negative is that there's very limited spots to sit on a bench in the parking lot, so it's a stand up set up. Also closes early.”

“It was nice but the beef/steak was too chewy I recommend chicken and some people brought alcohol from outside which I found interesting. That being said, it was a nice experience trying Japanese dishes with all halal options, workers were nice people and the establishment has great vibes.”

“They served authentic Japanese drinks, had amazing food and service. The mango & fish sushi was unique to restaurant and was delightful. The waiter was so kind and when we had left and forgot our bags after we finished they ran outside to give it back to us!! This was a great dinner experience.”

“the bread was so soft and fresh! Very good sandwiches! I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.”

“I had a Lamb & Beef Gyro. It made 👏 my 👏 day. It was scrumptious. The veggies were fresh, the sauces blended really well with everything, and the atmosphere was very friendly. They also have the best pitas you can find on the entire peninsula!!

Dietary restrictions: The menu is prepared a la carte, so you can request gluten free presentation and preparation.”

“9.2 💥. Pizza was amazing, the crust was crunchy, the sauce has a good garlic taste and the price was just right. Check this place out if you wanna try a good New York style pizza. 💥”

“Delicious food.... We had some red aguachiles and some green aguachiles. We’ve been here tons of times, but today when we went in, the service wasn’t the same, waitress seemed upset for some reason because I asked for extra avocado & I had to ask another waitress for some chips 20 minutes later because the original waitress never asked us if we needed anything else after they brought us our food. Besides that, food was delicious 👍🏿”

“Best hamburgers. Very fresh tasting.”

“great service and the food was deliscious plus they had great Musica”

“Try the curry chicken pizza and it will change your life and thoughts of pizza. This place was amazing and the owners were welcoming and lovely. Will definitely come here again”

“Tacos were ok. Chips from the chip bar were old and a little stale. There were people on the establishment that come here often and really enjoy it, so my tacos could be an isolated 👎.”

“awesome place for date or any occasions”

“Very nice service with a great selection of Korean food! The spicy seafood soup and rolls were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. Would definitely come back!”

“Love the green matcha milk tea with boba! My new favorite drink…”

“Wanted a bacon breakfast burrito and found this place during our time in Monterey and we loved it that we had to come back the next day. The portion size is great for what you pay. They also serve a complimentary chips and salsa. Give this place a try if you’re looking for a good bacon breakfast burrito.”

“Stopped in while my car was being serviced down the street. Have been there a couple times before and really enjoyed it but really just chilled today. Had a mocha and a Fessell (sp?) and decided to stay for some tea (Scarlett) after. Emma and I chatted about many things and I even got to pick out some vinyl to play while I hung out. Truly good vibes here (and of course, coffee and tea are ON POINT) Check it out!”

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.”

“dj on monday nights. karaoke on Thursday”

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en: Panadería y comida mexicana”

“Thank you so much for hosting my 70th Birthday surprise party on June 10th. It was awesome and memorable!”

“Always good tasty food. Service fast with a smile and positive attitude. Clean and neat , A true 5 star restaurant”

“A wonderful German restaurant run by a lovely German couple. I ordered the Rindsroulade and it was delicious! I highly recommend this place for a nice evening out!”

“Lupita's strikes again! Once again, completely delicious food! The quality of their food is so good that you won't feel that yucky takeout feeling after eating there! You will feel like your Mexican mom made you a batch of rice and beans! The key is their oaxacan roots! I love how they make their quesadillas with like a thick masa. The tamales are bomb, masa is seasoned correctly and then the fillings are so good. we love the chicken mole ones but also like the rajas and the salsa verde. Today we branched out to try their tortas and new burrito bowls. outstanding! Ask for some Oaxacan cheese on your burrito bowl! Okay, now the bakery... There is always a debate on who has the best donuts on the Monterey Peninsula, I always hear about the donut places, but for me Lupita's is the best. their donut is substantial and then the chocolate on top is decadent! I really keep saying, who would go to any sole donut shop when you can get so much variety here? Donuts, donut holes, cakes, cookies, pan dulce! and my ultimate favorite... a loaf of morning glory bread!!! Like a carrot cake bread with oats! trust me! super delicious! Lastly, they are super friendly! I love their staff! I am currently working with them to do custom donuts for my son's upcoming birthday! They are always willing to work with their customers to make them happy!”

“This is a great place to grab a casual bite to eat — with amazing beer! We came with our kids and they all had a good time. The food was delicious and they even have unique and tasty mocktails. The outdoor space is nice and protected from the elements as it sits in the middle of the Carmel Plaza. We always love coming here and taking our friends visiting from out-of-town too!”

“Freaking awesome! All of the breads are always freshly delicious. Eric was a gentleman and courteously helped us even if we arrived a few minutes after closing. Palermo Bakery made our weekend brunch significantly better! Thank you Palermo Bakery for being superb.”

“Traveled to the area and knew we would eat breakfast here. Always good food. Wonderful service and delicious options for our brood. 10 out of 10 will eat here again.”

“My family and I have been coming to The Orient for over 10 years. This place is the best. It's run by the same family and the deliciousness of their food hasn't changed either. The beef Pho is great, best around I think. I really like their fried rice, salt pepper squid and egg foo young. Pretty much everything here is good. Their lunch specials are deal too.”

“I attended from 2001-2006. At that time it was still very new and evolving quickly, I had some really amazing professors and a few not so great. Living here and getting experience so much of nature through my classes was amazing, I loved all my ESSP classes (I think it’s a new name now).”

“Muy buen servicio y la cómida deliciosa 👌”

“We are here right now! This place is the only one with high quality music, live!!!!! Darrell the owner is jus sweet and gave us lots of updates on what is coming for the future!
Love the place…”

“We stopped by for lunch today and ordered the lemon grass/chicken dry noodle dish and the barbeque pork dry noodle dish. They both were fabulous, good quality meat, large portions at affordable prices. So glad we didn't go to a chain. Our new fave place”

“To the last two employees tonight, April 11th, Thank you for making our samdwiches even after you had been closed for 11 minutes and things were being cleaned. I didnt get your names but you two are exceptional employees and hope the management recognizes you! ps the samdwiches were also made perfect!! Great Job Togo's!”

“Love this place! Great shakes! Great people! ♥️”

“OMG. ! These are the most delicious tamales I've had. So fresh. I ordered the Jalapeño & Cheese, Green Chile chicken, and Corn. They were all just perfect. I steamed them 2 days after I bought them and they still tasted moist, delicious and fresh. They also have Elote; very good. I'm happy to support small and local business people. I'll be a regular from now on.”

“The staff over at the new Marriott highly recommended we try this restaurant, and we're so glad we did. Authentic Mexican and El Salvadorian food in a small family-run restaurant. The carnitas and the pupusa's were amazing! You got to try this place. We'll be back, for sure.”

“We were more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The garlic fries were an excellent start, followed by the pan seared salmon. Even the sides were delicious. Thanks to our server Eric, for the wonderful service. It's so nice to have such a good restaurant right in the hotel.

Update: Back for a second night because last night was so good. Had to have the Garlic Fries again. Oh my... so good! Then it was Chicken Carnitas Quesadilla and Fish and Chips. Excellent! Really good. We went for dessert tonight. Turtle Cheesecake. Oh my!!! We may have to have it again before we leave. Thanks Eric!!! You are the best! So glad you had our table again. Thank you for your kindness!!!”

“5/31/26: Order thru Door Dash @ Taqueria Zarape {Seaside} for the first time from this restaurant. After looking thru my choices of dishes, I decided to order the menudo, available Saturday and Sunday only{$15.25} along with Large Spanish Rice {$6.38} and two cans of Pepsi {$4.00}.Lately I’ve tried Sarita’s Mexican Grill{Monterey}, and Las Cazuelas {Seaside} thru Door Dash,although both were okay wasn’t completely satisfied with the taste of their dishes. Both places I tried the Campechana Cocktail and the Spanish rice giving them two tries. Hopefully the Menudo and Spanish Rice will be delicious from this restaurant 🤔.

The Menudo came in a large plastic container that Full all the way, it was Hot. The menudo came with cilantro and onions,which I added to the dish.The tripe and everything was sooo good! Definitely I will repeat ordering this dish on weekends .The rice was in a small container and was regular taste and I added the sauce from the menudo which gave it some flavor. Overall I was satisfied with this meal and would order again

5/31/26: Second time ordering thru Door Dash at Taqueria Zarape {Seaside} today. Earlier I ordered the Menudo, Spanish Rice, and two Pepsi. I enjoyed the Menudo, so I wanted to try their Campechana. Previous orders of Campechana I tried at Sarita’s Mexican Grill {Monterey} and Las Cazuelas {Seaside} and both of them I tried twice and wasn’t satisfied with their Campechana. Hopefully Taqueria Zarape will be tasty and enjoyable just like the Menudo was. I also ordered a small Spanish Rice and two cans of Pepsi. Placed order @ 6:07p.m, ETA: 6:30-6:36p.m.,{Marina}, Dasher🚚: Jennifer, Arrived:6:45pm. Received my order, and hopefully it will be good as the first order from here earlier today{Menudo}. Subtotal {$29.67}, Delivery Fee: {$0.00}, Service Fee {$1.99}, Estimated Tax {$2.74}, Dasher Tip {$4.00} Total { $38.40} The Campechana was full of Shrimp, big cuts of Octopus 🐙, avocado 🥑, spiced perfectly. Definitely enjoy and best tasting over the others I’ve tried at Sarita’s Mexican Grill and Cazuelas.

6/3/26:Third time ordering thru Door Dash for Taqueria Zarape. 5/31 ordering Menudo, and Campechana , along with Spanish Rice. Enjoyed the Menudo, Campechana 👍😄, Definitely a repeat order. 6/1 ordered Jumbo Lengua Burrito and Lengua Enchilada. Not worth it very bland no repeating this order. TODAY I’m reordering the Campechana Cocktail 🍹 which comes with many shrimp 🍤 , Octopus 🐙, sliced avocado 🥑 and taste the 💣 bomb! Ordering this dish you won’t be disappointed {Tried Sarita’s Mexican Grill, Monterey & Las Cazuelas, Seaside and their Campechana can’t compare😖} BEST IN THE BAY! I also ordered Small Spanish Rice and two cans of PEPSI. The Shrimp and Octopus pieces are big and very delicious 😋 Spiced so well, but might add sliced lemon or lime 🍋‍🟩”

“The adobada burrito is the first thing I tried here, and I can’t make myself try anything else, it is so delicious!! I must have it every time I’m in town!”

“We had a very pleasant party at Juicy crab Cajun Seafood on 8/9/2025, foods are very good, my wife and I like the pork ribs best, green bean and fried noodle are also delicious, the price is very reasonable.”

“Great to know that you can order out and enjoy great food, while spending time with or without friends and family, just to know that eating good is always great.”

“I'm from SC I have been looking for a good Philly since I got to CA, welp looks like I found it, Both halves were full of steak,cheese, and onions. Fries were hot and crispy, felt welcomed from the moment I walked in the door until the sec I walked out. I'll be back for sure.

Kid-friendliness: There were a couple kids in there ,but it is a Bar type atmosphere.”

“The very good service are very friendly and the food is ás ú per ly everything very clean [Original] El servicio muy bueno son muy amables y la comida está súper ly todo muy limpio”

“Delicious food!
The fish burrito is amazing.
Feels like you’re on Mexico!
Great service.
Bottled beer $6, a little steep for this kind of restaurant.”

“Not sure why that name came up but it is chili's. Food is always consistent. Wasn't very busy at 5.

Parking: Definitely not enough handicap parking. Lots of regular parking though.”

“Enjoyed the company, food, and atmosphere 😊”

“excelente muy bueno para el caffecito por las mañanas y las tortas uuuuyy deliciosas yel servicio muy amable y el lugar está super limpio se los recomiendo”

“Good food, must come and try. Worth the wait. In seaside. We enjoyed coming here to eat.”

“Went on a Friday evening and the Service and Atmosphere is great here. Not a lot of health options though but the food they have is good. We were two adults and a toddler. We had apps, mains, and a dessert the bill was $80.”

“Lucky Bamboo is open for takeout during the Coronavirus shutdown. My wife and I got takeout last night. We had chicken chow mein, beef with asparagus, and chicken with black mushrooms. The food was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The person who helped me was very friendly and appreciative to have the business.”

“I went into the Broadway store a couple of weeks ago to buy a bunch of gift cards. Micheal was super helpful and patient when things weren't working for him. He was friendly and kind and despite having to process 12 separate gift cards in between customers, her maintained professionalism and was pleasant, never getting stressed. I am in customer service too and I appreciated his work and wanted to make sure he was recognized for it. I would have tipped him but I couldn't since I was making a work purchase. Thank you!!!”

“Las memelas están deliciosas y el champurrado igual el servicio todo muy bien regresaremos es seguro �”

“The food here is always great. We always call a head of time just to make sure the chow mein and orange chicken is ready sometimes it sells out QUICK! The atmosphere can be a be loud and hectic, but it’s. A great place. We get our food to go.”

“Blanca took my order in drive through .
She was very attentive, polite, my food was very much fresh 😋 and delicious as always 😋 .
Sometimes I walked to the park and after that, I stopped by This 🍗 KFC, because this is my favorite location 😋 😍
My baby and I really enjoyed this chicken 🐔 😋”

“This is a solid place to get a burrito for the road. The staff is friendly. The Super Burrito is always good. But the quesadilla is soggy and the cheese on the Carne Asada fries is weird. I do love that it has a drive thru, though; so it's my go-to in Seaside.”

“Mozzarella sticks were a little big and marinara sauce was cold. Still MM’s has good pizza compared to their competitors. Good sauce, good cheese, and they don’t skimp on toppings.”
