Cult Taco

Did a taco tour while traveling Monterey and went to a bunch of places trying all their fish tacos. Ran in the door 5 minutes before closing and the sweet girls made me tacos anyways. Let me tell you these were the best tacos by far. Great customer service and amazing tacos. Their taco sauce is drinkable Sooo good!

Got myself a nice mushroom taco today and it was superb. The flavor was so good, the spices were very prominent, the corn tortilla was fresh, the salsa had a nice balance of salt and lime, and there was nothing simple about this mushroom taco, as basic as it sounds. The one critique I have is the fact that they dont accept cash, I know this is a common practice in local eateries, I was just thrown off, but other than that there was nothing I'd change.

Tacos are on point. Price is right. Only major critique is that the music is the absolute biggest mismatch. It’s sort of a funky hip taco joint but the music is the slowest spa/jazz music. We’ve been twice and both times the same music was playing. Kinda kills the vibe. Out with the friends for a good time getting tacos, but gets put to sleep by the lullaby saxophone. Weird.

Excellent food. My wife's dish was incredible. Be wary though. Under the taco menu, there's a taco called "Beyond". The description claims it's a cilantro, onion and salsa taco. It fails to mention that there's a nasty vegan meat paste in it as well. Don't order this taco unless you're hoping to save a cute little cow. They need to relabel their menu to clearly state that the "Beyond" taco has a meat substitute as one of the ingredients.

We absolutely LOVE cult taco! Where to begin; well first of all, the food is absolutely delicious! The flavor profiles are on par to win the best tacos in California in my opinion. I’m retired military and have traveled across the country and these tacos are my favorite, minus the fish tacos in Seattle. Secondly, the owner is the most genuine person you can come across. My husband and I would frequent cult taco on the daily, and the owner took the time to get to know us on a personal level; where he actually offered to do a fundraiser for my second upcoming vascular surgery. Moral of the story is this, if you want bomb tacos and a great atmosphere, go to cult taco!

Crazy good wagu barbacoa, chicken, and shrimp tacos. Outstanding guacamole (heavy on lime, just right saltiness). Self-order and pay at a kiosk, but they bring your food to your table and check in on you. I'm thinking of a second visit in my week long vacation to Monterey, and I really try to never repeat a place during the same trip.
