Los Grullenses - Salinas

The food was excellent—fresh and served hot. The service was also great, though it does get quite busy during lunch hours.

The food was quite good. The portion sizes were reasonable, and everything was well prepared and flavorful. The restaurant was clean, but it does tend to get busy quickly.

It had been quite some time since I enjoyed amazing tacos, so I decided to visit this place based on a recommendation while attending a conference in Monterey. It was definitely worth the trip! I ordered the taco plate, which came with two carne asada and two al pastor tacos. They were absolutely perfect—just the right balance of fat and seasoning. I especially loved the pickled carrots, and while I don't think the tortillas were homemade, they were incredibly good. The tortillas held up well to the meat, and the heat was just flirty enough to make my nose run a little, but not overwhelmingly so. You definitely won't 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.

We did a rolling reset at the Pilot across the street. Went and had dinner the first night. Very tasty!! Decided to go back the second day and it didn’t disappoint! Pretty quick! Very good pollo tacos!! Yummy!!!
