A great style of mexican food. Perfect if you like burritos, tacos, and grilled chicken.
The food taste fresh and has great flavor.
Both salsa have a mild amount of spice.
Very spicy for novice spicy lovers.
Also ordered extra grilled serrano peppers (thankfully they are fresh, not pickled).
The elote was a unexpected treat. Very traditional. They allowed a custom order with no mayo.
Very reasonable on pricing. Lunch for us was about $20 + $5 tip
Definitely a gem in the area

Super authentic restaurant for amazing-smelling grill, roasting chilies, onions, chicken and carne asada.
Expectations: 5 stars
Chicken: may be 4-5 stars
My personal service experience and carne asada experience: 3 stars
Around 4 pm I walked in and waves of amazing roasting chilies and onions came my way.
There were many half chickens roasting and looking really great.
Prices for burritos look very fair, so when it came time to order the combo meal, my expectations were it would be a value.
I ordered carne asada (1lb), and it came with beans, rice, tortillas roasted onions and chilies with a few small containers of 2 different salsas. $32.99! The counter person advised I order an additional pound if eating for two.
The carne asada was inedible in parts. Much of it was incredibly difficult to pull apart, some of the fat being too tough and hard to even cut or chew.
The beans and rice were tasty, as were the roasted chilies and onions.
I cannot imagine how, though, the meal combo and extra 1lb of extraordinarily tough carne asada could cost over $70.
Additionally, I added a tip. Unfortunately, when I came back in to pick up my order that was on the counter, the lady that rang me up was gone and another lady said she would be with me and took a while to return. She ended up unpacking my whole order, went through it, and repacked it before she gave it back to me. She said she didn’t know what was in it or if it was mine and I showed her my receipt.
So, I would definitely never have tipped for such an experience.
I would think about returning for a chicken burrito- but NO combo meals and NO carne asada.

First time here so we ordered a lot of food so we could taste. The carne asada tacos were my least favorite. Tortillas were too dense and did not care for the guac on top. Carne asada was good, plentiful and lean. Then we tried the wings, half mango habenero and half dry rubbed. Delicious, spicy and lots of meat on them.. I could see ordering a bunch for a football game. Then we ordered their #4 half chicken. OMG, that was the win of the night! It had that open flame flavour and wow was it moist and delicious. I know I’m going to be thinking about that chicken when I’m in the area. Great place, all in all. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. Was very busy when we went but thankfully they had one table left. I’m excited to go back and try more things! Excellent!!!

We ordered 2 full chickens to go and they were amazing! We had the rice and beans added too. Everything was delicious, it also comes with some grilled onions, jalapeños and tortillas! YUM!

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

Came during Monterey Car Week. Although it was a busy day it was great service and the authenticity of the food was Top Tier.
The meat was roasted so well. I got a super burrito everything was distributed perfect in the burrito and not a greasy or soggy tortilla.

I have never dined in at the restaurant, but I have been a regular take-out customer for about three years. My family and I have enjoyed their food at least once a week. Over time, I noticed the prices increased, but the quality of the food remained good, so it felt justified.
Unfortunately, our most recent order was very disappointing. I ordered a whole chicken, but what I received looked like scraps with very little meat. The quality was poor. The frijoles were very bland, the juice tasted watered down, and the guacamole was poorly made. Considering the price, the overall quality of the meal was unacceptable.
Sadly, after this experience, we will not be ordering from them again.

The food here is absolutely delicious, especially the Super Burrito! I always enjoy coming back—such a great experience every time!

mediocre, bowl was almost $13 and only had half of what Chipotle would’ve offered. Flavor is what makes it good but my bowl must’ve only been like 8oz. When i walked in the cashier seemed annoyed at my questions
