They finally accept card and Apple Pay! I wish they would accept online or phone orders. That is the only thing keeping this place from a 5 star. The food is great and it's mainly a to go type place since these isn't a lot of seating. It's a small corner lot with about 12ish parking spots and like 12 tables I believe. The burritos are bomb. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's always as good as I remember growing up.

This place will always be my favorite! Tacos are authentic and bomb. Ceviche de Camaron super good one of the best in town. Shrimp and octopus cocktail is also one of the best. The service is meh, and the ambiance is also meh. But if you just want good food, this is that's place! And they take credit cards now.

It's been awhile since my last visit and check in here. They're consistent that's for sure, just as I remember. Well prepared and seasoned food. Large portions and solid service with smiles. These guys care about the building they work at and make our food in, always making an improvement here and there before it becomes an eyesore...clean. Last words...get ya some!

Shrimp were large and plentiful on my shrimp entero tostada, and price was reasonable. To stand shell was unremarkable. Outdoor dining only and bathroom is unmarked, but overall a good experience.

Friendly workers and delicious food, makes this spot a memorable one. Plenty of parking and seating is outside. Menu is pretty simple compared to other taqueria places, but simple makes for great focus on tasty food! I opted for the burrito de camaron, shrimp burrito, with everything except for beans. And omg, my burrito was stuffed with shrimp! Each bite had shrimp! Full sized shrimp too! The burrito itself was about 10inches long and thick. It was yummy and had a kick to it. The shrimp was a bit bland on its own, but was perfect inside the burrito. The wait for the burrito wasn't long even though there was always a new customer ordering. I'd definitely make a stop again!

One of my favorite go to places when passing through Salinas on my way to the central coast. I have been going here for about 13 years. They are always friendly, quick, and decently priced. Their seafood is always on point. My go to is usually their shrimp cocktail but this time my husband and I ordered two shrimp ceviche tostadas, two carne asada tacos, an horchata and an Agua Fresca to go for $24. They have a nice little patio to eat there but it was too hot so we preferred to eat in our air conditioned car. They gave us a huge cup full of ceviche and four corn tostada shells which we couldn't even finish cus it was so much food. As always, the shrimp ceviche tostada was delicious. The carne asada was a little chewy hence only the four stars but still good flavor. If I'm the area, definitely drop by.
