We wanted food from the neighborhood and found it here. Could watch everything being made in front of us. It felt like we were sitting in a friend's kitchen eating food prepared for us personally. And of course it was delicious.

Hidden gem!!!! If you care about delicious food & love people who know how to cook come here!! We ordered the whole chicken combo & a carne asada plate. Both husband and I ate all of it!! Flavors were delicious along with Amazing beans, salsa, pickled onions, grilled onions & jalapeños and rice and tortillas. Not many places cook meat this well. Wish we lived closer!!!!

The best chicken I have had in a long time. So freakin good

The food is definitely good but it's not consistent. Not caring or realizing or both that consistency brings people back is lacks cabezas. Serving tough carne asada with hard tendon in the a la Carta to save a few pennies isn't muy intelligent. On the fly we might return but for the same coin, about $50, a couple wagu steaks from safeway and some store bought la tortilla factory organic yellow corn tortilla is a much much better option. The chicken seems to be costco bought and over grilled burnt to hide it's origin. Wouldn't post this if they actually served what was advertised on a consistent basis. The server appears to be loco.

OK, this place is the perfect example of why you should eat at small family owned businesses and restaurants. Food here is amazing super friendly service and really fast. This is what El Pollo Loco wants to be but can’t do it because it’s a huge chain now.

Amazing food at a reasonable price. Would go again. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the Monterey area.

Mixto bowl good but not enough meat and had no chicken. I'm disappointed with this dish.

Love the chicken

Food is good but after ordering online and getting the wrong items I will strongly reconsider in the future. Also, no one picks up the phone during peak times sadly.
We were in town visiting and stumbled upon this restaurant. We ordered a whole chicken meal combo that comes with rice, beans and torrillas so delicious. The chips and salsa were on point as well. If you like heat there's grilled jalapenos. I have no complaints authentic Mexican food full of flavor and loaded. If ever in the area will come back.

WOW HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! My bf and I shared the half chicken combo which comes with rice, beans, tortillas, and a grilled onion and this was more than enough food for the both of us. This is one of the best chicken spots I ever had hands down. Service was great and quick and it's a very casual spot! We were one our way to Big Sur and we got recommended by this spot from someone back in LA so we had to make the stop and it was completely worth it. Ready to make the trip back to order this again
Honestly my favorite restaurant. We go here all the time. At this point its routine. Highly recommend making it part of your routine as well. Great food, great prices, and super quick service.
