On my annual California trip, we made our way to Pacific Grove, where the Good Old Days Festival…read morefills the town every May. It's a huge farmers market-style event with just about everything you can think of, and it's always such a good time. I decided to stop by this barbecue spot because it immediately caught my eye. I'm all about my chicken legs, so I ordered the chicken legs with mac & cheese, greens, and cornbread. Another cool thing was seeing a father-son duo running the place, and being serviced by the young man himself--who is clearly putting his foot in this food--was pretty cool. The greens were moist and salty--just the way they're supposed to be. The chicken was melting in my mouth and falling right off the bone. Now, I'm a very picky mac & cheese girl, so discovering that theirs was actually pretty good was a nice surprise. I'm so happy to have found this needle in a haystack because there were so many options, and I'm glad I chose this one.

I've had their food 3 times because they go to my job before lunch. The first time was not good, so…read moreI thought giving them another chance. The day after 4th of July I ordered a simple quesadilla but the meat was hard and salty, tasted like old meat maybe it was from the previous Monday before the holiday. I also noticed how their salsas had no flavor. I can see how the food can impress those who have not had authentic Mexican food, but I will never buy again. This review is only about their food, but they do have great customer service and I give them 5 stars for that.

Nuevo Cairo is a street truck nestled in an Exxon parking lot in downtown Monterey. There's another…read morestreet truck parked next to it, Avatar Indo-Nepalese. I got to the truck around 12:30pm, and they were just opening up (10:30am is the quoted opening time, fwiw). There is a bench outside of the trucks with no cover from the elements. There is a shared restroom with the gas station, just a few parking spaces available. No street parking. As for the food and service, I ordered a combination of beef/lamb & chicken shawarma over rice. The rice wasn't ready to go, so I waited 20 minutes for the rice to be done. While I waited, they let me try the falafel (excellent) and a packet of sesame thins which were ok. As for the shawarma, it was good. It was full of flavor. There was a side of tzatziki sauce and a tasty salad that came with it. I'm very particular when it comes to halal street food having lived in NYC for years. It's good for the area. I think I'd try the kebab, gyro and falafel next time. For the foodies in Monterey, it's worth a try! Price: $16

Originally I ordered fried garlic prawns Hawaiian style with garlic Parmesan fries. There was a long wait however the food was worth it. It was nothing short of amazing!!!

The food was fresh, crisp, and flavorful like before. My friend had the garlic shrimp with cheese tacos. Talk about good food! Very delicious! My overall opinion is if you're looking for a tasty seafood meal and have time to wait, definitely try Cece's.
