    Gordita and crunchy taco combo
    Lorissa W.

    Good authentic Mexican food. Delicious carnitas. Great salsa. Good prices for good portion size. My garlic shrimp was on the small side but still good. My husband loved his gordito and crunchy taco. He said the carnitas was above average and looked amazing. There was authentic Mexican music playing and it was not too loud. The booth was pretty comfortable in the bathroom was very clean. We were stopping by here on our way to Santa Barbara. I highly recommend this place to eat or to go. Might be better to go because the restaurant is not very pretty.

    Chips And Salsa.

    At El Taco Bravo Restaurant Been Awhile Since We've Been Here. We Were Quickly Greeted And Seated By Our Waitress. I'm Gonna Have A Papa Bravo Breakfast A Steak, Potatoes, Refried Beans, And Eggs. My Fiancée Is Having The Same. I Ordered A Dr. Pepper To Drink And My Fiancée Ordered A Chavela With Corona Beer.And We Also Ordered A Carne Asada Taco Plain For SANCHITO..!! It's A Nice And Chilly Morning.I Was Hoping Of Having MENUDO But Unfortunately They Were Out Already..!!! Sad Face..!!!

    Waiting patiently for that quesadilla.

    Stumbled upon this spot after filling up at the nearby gas station. The restaurant is a to-go or dine-in which is super convenient. The spot is pretty clean outside and inside, available restrooms for customers too. Super friendly staff. Now to the food: flavors and salsa are on point. The Chile relleno burrito was a homerun! Quesadilla was also cooked to perfection. You'd be surprised there are some places that mess up on a quesadilla. Food was not oily and definitely filling for the rest of the road trip down. Make sure you hit up this spot!

    Made a pitstop today in King city today on my way back up to the bay area. I had to get gas and found this great Taqueria nearby that we decided to try. And boy am I glad I did. I ordered the super burrito carne asada. The burrito was just fantastic. All the ingredients were cooked to perfection. The beef was very tender and flavorful however and what really separated this burrito apart from the ones I've had in the past at other Taqueria's was that they grilled the flour tortilla which gave it extra flavor. The beans were cooked just right, rice was flavorful and fluffy and the sour cream and guacamole were nice touches. They provided chips and salsa but the salsa to me was ok. I will definitely will be coming back to El Bravo Taco in the future especially if I travel along Highway 101 from Northern to Southern California and vice versa. It's a great spot to get a nice bite to eat and to take a break.

    The Chile relleno burrito is awesome

    If you like burritos, you must try the Chile Relleno Burrito. It is the best burrito I've ever had. It is amazing.

    The two chicken tacos, a bitch is burrito and the salsa serving!!

    I stopped here for a quick lunch on my drive up from LA and I was not disappointed. I got a bean and cheese burrito that was delicious and affordable and two chicken tacos and they gave me chips and salsa for free. Also the salsa serving was incredible and delicious and the whole meal was very filling.

    What an amazing gem this is in King City!! I was coming home from a camping trip in the area. I saw…read morethe reviews, the pictures and I had to try it!! This is one special family owned restaurant. The food is amazing!! The portions are plentiful and the flavors are divine. I was greeted upon entry by a very lovely young lady. She was very nice and provided excellent customer service. I had the bang bang shrimp appetizer and let me tell you....BANG BANG!!! The shrimps were large and in charge. I got at least 6, maybe 7 or 8. I tried to count afterwards, but I mangle my tails looking for all the shrimp meat!! They were so crispy and crunchy. Super fresh and uber delicious. BANG BANG says it all!!! A must have menu item if you love shrimp. I also had 2 of their signature surf n' turf tacos and they were very yummy. Every order that came out for other patrons looked delicious. Everyone had that whoa look on their face when their food arrived. I saw some great looking Michelada's come out with big shrimps on the rim!! They have a full bar as well and every table has a copy of today's newspaper...nice touch. Spectacular restaurant people!! The kind where foodies drive 40 minutes one way just to eat there, because Castro's Surf and Turf is an elite food experience!!

    This was a pit stop before reaching the west entrance of Pinnacles NSP coming from the east…read moreentrance. Saw a lot of hype in the reviews and wanted to check it out. Ambiance: Walking in has the vibe similar to a sports bar but as a sit down restaurant that serves surf n turf. A wooden boat hanging up on the ceiling and themed with space & fishes. Service: The worker was nice, but the restaurant felt like it was understaffed. Surf and turf tacos $6.39 (3.5/5): If I'm being honest, as much as I wanted it to taste as good as the reviews say it is. It was good but not amazing nor bad. It had a good amount of asada and 2 fried shrimp with a tangy sauce. As I was eating it, it definitely needed more sauce, as the orange sauce was not enough. Had to use additional provided hot sauce. 2 is enough just to be kind of filling. All the hype in the reviews, it definetly does not live up to it at all. It's a good spot but not exactly amazing.
