First time eating here. It’s a little distance off the beaten path. As Carmel Valley tends to get hot weather other wise.

I sat inside and it was a relaxed atmosphere for a Saturday afternoon after 1pm. They had a Brunch menu that is on Saturday and Sunday until 2pm. I opted for the Breakfast burrito with sausage. It came with a small side salad that included Guacamole and Sour cream, it was a nice change to have that salad and was quite flavorful.

My server was great. Very polite and he came by to check on me. The food came out quick and I enjoyed it very much, not a huge burrito but just right in size and flavor.

I thought the prices were good especially for Carmel area. They have a huge outside patio and plenty of parking in a large shopping area.

I heard some kids so it’s kid friendly and a very clean place to eat. Many items on the menu and I would recommend it for great food and service.

I was expecting great food but was really disappointed. I had the chicken fajitas which were tasteless and cold, our party had also ordered two special combos which again disappointed with lack of taste. The other two meals, burgers, were expensive for what there was and the fries were cold. The atmosphere and service was really great but the food was not. It was overpriced for the quality and quantity. I would not visit again and I would not recommend.

Absolutely delicious food, beautiful outdoor dining area, waitstaff who know what they’re doing. Burrito as big as my head, and very reasonable pricing. Outdoor seating is plentiful, and has umbrellas for shade. Food came out quickly, waitress was very kind and attentive. Parking very plentiful. No reason to not give it a try! Bathroom was spotless as well!

What a place. I mean, a bit of touristy yet you feel the local touch. Like home made food. Watch out – spoiler alert – huge huge portions on both, food and cocktails. Get ready to share or take home.

Would definitely go back. I cannot recommend anything particular. We had different dishes and everything was great.
Love the vibe, with all the memorabilia around.

Eclectic decor focused on motor sports located across from Quail Lodge. I thought the place and food was really good. Pork mole enchiladas were excellent. Pineapple quesadilla and Mango enchilada were a tad sweet but otherwise good. Guacamole was smoothly blended

Phenomenal! Excellent food, excellent service and excellent experience overall. Well worth the stop! Came here at the recommendation of a friend and will be back. Came on a Monday night at the end of April and there was no wait around six pm for a table of six. Prices are what you would expect for the area but well worth the cost! I had the blacken chicken burrito and my wife had the TJ Taxi, both of us enjoyed our meals. The kids meals were really good as well, the chicken tenders comes with a cool paper car. The margaritas, while expensive were well worth the money! We will be back again.

Anyone who’s ever been to Garaje in San Francisco will love this spot. The garage motif is strong, and the food is excellent. They actually made a salad I wanted to eat with a really awesome vegetarian burrito that I couldn’t help but finish in one sitting. My partner had the rosemary chicken burrito and immediately said it was some of the best made chicken she’s ever had.

It’s a bit off the beaten path for anyone hanging around Monterey or Carmel, but it’s worth the trip. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Also the Oaxaca old fashioned was awesome, and the Ultimate margarita came in a pint glass. Enough said, make sure you have a DD

We had a bad experience on my mom’s birthday! The food was fine Pamela was our waitress and they charged $40.00 for a cake cutting fee and she didn’t cut the cake or do anything to help us with the cake! She gave us soup spoons to eat with! We asked to talk to a manger and she was no help either! We’re locals and frequent Baja Cantina, however we will NOT be coming back!

Do not eat here if you have food allergies or sensitivities!

The menu states that some enchilada dishes do not have Jack cheese. We asked the server to confirm and they kindly double checked, which I very much appreciated at the time. We were told that although typically the dish comes with Jack cheese, they could make it with only aged cheese (like cheddar, as the menu says anyways) upon request. I thanked the server for checking and stated that I have a tough time digesting some (higher lactose) cheeses and I appreciated it.

The food comes out and the server puts the enchiladas in front of me. The food looked pretty decent but I was told that the kitchen was unable to make it without jack cheese. There also appeared to be some crumbled cotija cheese or similar (which was not mentioned at any time). I told the server again that I didn’t want to eat it because the cheese didn’t agree with me. My wife restated that it would cause me digestion problems if I ate it. The server asked me what I wanted to do, and left the food at the table although I made it clear that I had no intention of eating it. I found this to be rude and the server’s tone was unapologetic.

I asked for a salad and waited while my partner watched their food get cold. I felt terrible and embarrassed.

When the salad came out it was okay. I found a walnut in the salad which is a foreign contaminate, presumably from some other dish. I don’t happen to be allergic to nuts but I know that is a matter of life or death for some.

There was no adjustment to the bill despite the menu being wrong about common allergen ingredients for 2 dishes and we were given wrong information about the food as well.

Overpriced, marginal service, inconsistencies about ingredients. Cannot recommend.
