I had a really great experience eating at this restaurant. All the seafood was extremely delicious and flavorful. Restaurant was clean and the service was quick. It's one of those meals that just puts a smile on your face. Recommend checking in them out. If someone could please tell them to open a restaurant in Sacramento I'll be there for sure read more

The food here really rates 5 stars! Fresh ingredients, well prepared with just the right seasonings made the meal one to remember. The place is modest, but clean and comfortable. Our server was pleasant and efficient even though she didn't seem to speak much English. The stand out dish was the chile relleno. The chile was sweet with a perfect texture. Bathed in a savory slow roasted delectable sauce and the right amount of melty cheese. Chips and salsa were top notch. The whole fried snapper was crispy and well seasoned and was accompanied by yellow rice, beans, salad and two wonderful spicy sauces: one red and one green. The other dishes we had were tasty as well. Tacos & taquitos with rice and beans. I will definitely return when I'm in the area. read more

The seafood was so fresh and beautifully cooked. Loved it. Happy to finally find a great seafood place in Castroville.

"Authentic" Californian Mexican tacos, rice and beans. Excellent service and accommodated takeout

If you like tasty Mexican food, this is the place! Pretty downscale seating and atmosphere, but that's ok but you come for the food. Whole fried fish, chili rellenos (2 on the plate!), and other combinations were generous, VERY tasty, and spiced just right. So, so good! read more

Needed somewhere to eat came across this gem! This place only had a few people but the line was pretty constant as we sat. It was good service and the food was very flavorful. I will be back. I had a picky person and they loved the soup. read more

Tried this place because of the 5-star reviews. This spot is easy to locate as it is on the main drag. We saw a mariachi band playing inside this small establishment...uh oh, I know it will be loud! We had a choice of tables since the restaurant was 1/3 full at 5 pm on a Saturday. Complimentary chips and salsa were served. The chips were crispy and warm but a little greasy. The salsa was good- you could taste the garlic and the flavors, so we asked for another serving. My spouse ordered a lengua super burrito that was well seasoned, however, the burrito was regular-sized, not super-sized like other restaurants have. Nevertheless, he enjoyed his burrito, which came with a small salad. My daughter ordered a single carnitas taco, in a freshly made flour tortilla- only $5, which filled her up. Though it was well seasoned, it was a little salty and dry. I had the most expensive dish, a fish fillet sauted with garlic. The fish was good but overcooked and, unfortunately, also too salty. The Spanish rice was salty too, and had bits of corn and carrots mixed in. My dish came with a small salad and batter-coated tasty fries, which my kiddo enjoyed the latter. Homemade corn tortillas were thick and appreciated! This place is small, but well kept and the bathrooms were clean with nice service I would give it a 4.5 from our experience. It would be a five if they lighten up on the salt! read more

The nicest people and the best food! Authentic with a great atmosphere, you will not be disappointed.

El Sazon De La Tia - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Castroville, California

this is a true diamond . I was completely blown away by the true authenticity of the cesa birria tacos and consomme. the service was super and the salsa was crazy good. one of the best experiences I've ever had with true birria tacos. I live 3 hours away but wouldn't think twice to travel just for the awesome food that this place has got to offer. next time I'm going to try the el gobernador tacos and the shrimp empanadas chow!!! I wonder if they sell the consommé by the gallon because it was crazy good. perfect for a cold winter day. oh! and the agua de Jamaica is super good to. I would also like to thank the awesome waitress that went above and beyond to put together a super hot saldo the blew my Sox off. she needs a raise for sure read more

Delicious food! Cameron ceviche was really delicious! Jaimaca juice was on point. Def recommend this place!

This place is awesome. The service was great and the food was even better. We had the shrimp party (fiesta de camarones) and the molcajete mixto which was meat in a bowl of sauce. Went for lunch with a group of 6 about $100 for all of us and the share plate was super easy the two platters were perfect for all of us. read more
