"I grew up in Los Angeles eating authentic Mexican food as a kid. This is not that food. Nope. My carne asada burrito had these teeny tiny nearly oblivious pieces of carne asada. It looked like very seriously like someone chopped up one single piece of thin sliced roast beef lunch meat (and not much of it) and tossed that in. If there were 2 tablespoons of meat in here, I'd be shocked. For all practcal purposes, I had a bean burrito. Salsas weren't great either. Chips that came with the burrito were totally lackluster. Not even a hint of salt. $11..95 for a carne asada burrito (without much meat that i could identify). $13.95 for a vegetarian burrito These guys are laughing at how they are selling this stuff to the Carmel crowd at ridiculous prices and for this quality. Will never order from here again and neither should you."

I visited the Carmel/Monterey area on Cinco de Mayo and was looking for good food without the crowds. This place truly met my expectations! View menu
Tina
The food was excellent and the service was very friendly. It's a charming little place. Since I need to meet the 85-character requirement on Yelp, this is me filling out the rest!
Eric
Food was great-tasting, super fresh and in generous portions. Mahi-Mahi Taco, Tofu Island Taco, and Cheese Quesadilla were all excellent. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free and veg options

Slow service, waited in line 10 mins just for the gal to take the 1 order in front of us. Waited another 20 mins for our food and my husband and I shared a burrito. Shredded chicken, pinto beans, and rice. No sour cream, no salsa, no cheese. And it was served cold. I had to ask for my water. I will not go back View menu

I got this order to go on my way to Big Sur. It was quiet for a Friday night, but people started coming in after I placed my order. I ordered a fish taco and it was fine. In hindsight, I should have got something like a chicken taco or taquitos. There were two small pieces of fish in my taco. Service was good, the salsa is pre-packed to go, which is less mess. I didn't hate it but it was fine.

This place looks promising with the pictures and menu options.....heck it got my attention. The best place to description the food would be 90 's elementary school cafeteria Mexican food. I was so disappointed. It was flavorless and if it had any flavor, it was just straight weird and the ingredients used did not coincide with each other. We are what we could stomach, thanked the nice girl at the counter and walked out politely but extremely disappointed. After $32 including tip I sat in my car, took a deep breath, and said I would 've been happier with Taco Bell. Things happen, oh well.
