I got a vegetarian burrito and let me tell you…This burrito was so good. They definitely filled that bad boy up and I was a huge fan of that. The guac was out of this world and I loved the flavor of the grill. We also got tons of sauces, and pickled onions and grilled onions. I had food for both lunch and dinner. I was a really big fan of this one and will be coming back very often. Super good! Was supposed to just take a bite in the car and ending up taking half of it haha

We had the Chicken Burrito and the Beef Burrito and they were absolutely delicious, my one takeaway though that the protein / meat ratio was too little compared to the rest of the ingredients, it was still very delicious and the service super great.

Can only rate the food because we got taken out. The gf and I are visiting Monterey for a week, working remote, and wanted something healthy as we had been eating out more than we usually do, being on a work-cation. This really hit the spot. Really nice chicken, rice, and beans, with a delicious salsa on the side. Out of towners be warned, their fresh salsa has some heat, and the grilled serranos can really pack a punch. I was so happy to have a delicious grilled meal with fluffy rice and flavorful beans. Thanks so much for the great meal.

Friendly and quick restaurant for chicken, beef, and sides. Recommend the chicken, rice, refried beans, and tortillas. Tasty chicken (not too juicy) and delicious salsa (not too spicy and full of flavor). Great price points. Perfect for take out to the beach or if heading home.

Authentic, delicious, and juicy Mexican chicken. We ordered a whole chicken meal with cactus strips, and horchata for everyone. The chips and salsa were on point as well. If you like heat theres grilled jalapeno and if you like a milder flavor theres grilled onion. I have no complaints.

We came here after reading a few good Google reviews, and the food/service/price were so good, we came back again the next day for dinner. The roasted chicken with rice and refried beans is easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The chicken tasted more like a family BBQ with that one person on the grill who doesn’t let anyone touch the grill than it did restaurant food. My 5 year old son has to be forced to eat daily, and he was serving himself. The people working there were super nice, the service was quick, and everything we ordered tasted fresh. We even came less than an hour before closing and the food STILL tasted fresh. We are only visiting the area for a few days or we would be back again, but for anyone in the area, or anyone who is visiting neighboring Monterey, this is definitely worth a try.

I visited this location after reading all of the wonderful reviews and I am so glad that I did. Their chicken is Hands-down one of the best chicken that I have ever had in my life. The service was excellent and the price was super resonable. I will definitely be visiting again.

Great meal. Well seasoned food. We had the whole chicken meal. There isnt much seating space for families so we took it to go. This place only rivals La Granja in Florida. Ill definitely go again.
