Los Grullenses

It’s been a really long time since I had amazing tacos - I came here cause someone recommended it while attending a conference in Monterey. It was well worth the trip to come and have the taco plate with 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor. The tacos were perfect , Just the right amount of fat, seasoning , love the pickled carrots and the tortillas were not home at least I don’t think they were but damn where they good. The tortillas held up to the meat well and the heat was Flirtatious right amount to make your nose run a little bit but not too much definitely will not be disappointed

I always look for a good Mexican restaurant and being new to the Salinas area, I kept getting poor recommendations from people that thought Chipotle was good and considered "Mexican" food. A buddy recommended this place and I have been going there for breakfast and dinner. Tacos are small but packed with amazing flavors. Salsas were good (tasted homemade) and the torta de carne asada was delectable! Docked a point for the size of the tacos though.

Amazing tacos. This is one of those little shops that cares way more about the quality of the food over how Instagram worthy their decor is and that's what makes it so good. Staff is friendly, speak English and Spanish so if you don't speak the language you can still order, don't worry. They even have the bottled coke from Mexico (the drink, calm down) which is way better than the American recipe. It gets busy here but they turn out the orders within minutes so if you see a line, don't move on, you'll get your food pretty quick regardless. Some could argue that the environment isn't very 'high end' and the eating area justifies 4 stars but this place knows what it is, and what it isn't. They're there to make amazing food, plain and simple, and for that I give 5 stars.
