Very good food. Great service. Reasonable wait time and they have a parking lot which we didn't know about so we parked a few blocks away. Very happy with our choice of lunch. read more

The service was slow and our drinks were left unfilled. The food was ok, it was not hot and it lacked a lot of seasoning. The pricing was not accurate on the menu. We had to show the menu to the server after we received the bill due to getting additional charges that were not published on their menu. I definitely think they're over priced for what they offer, and the quality of the food is not worth spending the money again. read more

They absolutely live up to their name! This is definitely the house of season. We ordered a wet chimichanga with red and green sauce, and an agua de horchata. The food was seasoned to perfection, shout out to the chefs cause WOW! Absolutely incredible. 15/10, the horchata is also 15/10.. Good music, friendly service, clean environment, and delicious food. We came from Sacramento and will definitely be back next time we're in Monterey. read more

Sadly we had the queso with chorizo ( extremely runny) they don't give enough tortilla chips & the menu indicates there's a charge for more chips. We also had flautas beef with corn tortillas & flour with chicken - They were ok. Best part was that the bottle of beer was only 4.00. read more

I'm so happy to see larger crowds in this lovely, authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is great, and if it takes a bit longer to get to your table, it's because no shortcuts are taken. Their molcajete is not found at just any restaurant, and it's delicious, with meat, seafood, or vegetarian options available. And don't forget to order their guacamole!!!!! It comes with freshly made flour tortilla chips, and is to die for!!!!!!! read more

Great food. Get any version of the molcajete w/medium spice & corn home made tortillas! Order a chavela & get your moneys worth! read more

Simple food with very good service from very caring waiter who double-checked that each food item I chose to consume was allergen-free. Thank you!! For soy-allergy or intolerant folks, be very careful when order as vegetable oil is used without another option. I had a cheese quesadilla with boiled beans & cinnamon coffee (and safe-no soy!). Everything was delicious & hot and coffee came with refills. My friend had a super burrito which was (indeed) super! He took half of it home since he had all the chips & salsa to himself. Location is convenient in downtown Monterey, so one can park anywhere & easily walk to the restaurant. There is street & onsite parking available. Restaurant appeared clean, but not tidy. We didn't use the restrooms. My spoon was dirty & server placed it into the coffee. This is the only reason that the restaurant lost a star. read more

Great kids options. Got my child French fries and chicken nuggets and I swear they sourced the same ones McDonald's sells but fry it better? I got a 2 taco plate. One shrimp and one birria with rice and refried beans. Bottle Coke. Spouse for a wet burrito he really liked and the hibiscus agua Fresca. The service was lovely. The ambiance was home style and comfy and clean. It was a really nice place to unwind after a long morning. read more

We were in town for a concert and stopped for a later lunch. Service was attentive and polite, and the food was delicious. I'm particular about Mexican food & know when it's not authentic. The taco plate was very tasty with great flavor and not dry. Good meats! Chips & salsa thumbs up also- good "kick" in the salsa. Will make a return trip read more

The food was pretty good. We got fresh flour tortillas soo good. The molcajete was super hot and filled! I couldn't finish the whole thing. Only down side was we only got one complimentary chip and salsa and no full bar. The service was ok. The ambiance was very chill. Not very busy when we went. read more

Good food at La Casa Del Sazon. We went in on a Sunday evening to a empty restaurant. I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. We were quickly seated. The decor was nice but we just had an annoying fly bugging my wife and I the whole time. I gave it four stars because we felt rushed by the waiter to pay our bill considering my wife and I in deep conversation in an almost empty restaurant. Other than that the food was flavorful (Molcajete and tostada) and the tortillas were hot and fresh. read more

Food amazing as always 100/10!! The people are so kind and the vibes are immaculate. ps get the grilled chicken tacos ‍

We were very happy with the service and food at La Casa Del Sazón. Try the green chilaquiles and add birria on top.. so good! We also tried the cucumber agua fresca, which was delicious and refreshing. Our waitress was very attentive and never left us without drinks or food in front of us. Definitely give it a try if you want authentic Mexican food! read more

My family walked here with our two kids after a fun day out in Monterey/Fisherman's Wharf. Terrible choice. We have a stroller for our 4mo old son. We might as well have walked in with a troll from the way the staff looked at us. We gave been happy to park the stroller in a corner, or outside, we even asked the staff at the entrance (only 2 tables occupied at 5pm on a Sunday, so they were all aggregated at the entrance chatting) if they have a kids menu and if we could come in with a stroller. They walked us in and then it occurred to them that this big plastic 4wheel cart has to go somewhere... The staff didn't come back to our table for 10min until we waived them down. I imagine they thought we'd just leave or maybe they forgot about us? They brought half the drink order after another 5min (2 cans of coke?). We wanted to place our order, but the person with the drinks said they'd get our waitress. Another 5 min wait and another can of coke came and we finally got to place our orders.... man, this was an exhausting experience. The kids food were from-frozen chicken nuggets and the al pastor was ~1/3 gristle. The food came out pretty quick, but it wasn't good. The al pastor burrito didn't have much meat and was flavorless, the asada fries were soggy and coated in a bland mayo sauce. The staff continued to just ignore us until my wife got up and just left with our baby to head to the car. I waived down another staff member to get the check. It wasn't too expensive, though $60 for 4 small plates, one of which was chicken nuggets. TL;DR: Bad service for bad food. read more

OK here we are in Monterey and we're both thinking we want seafood. So I said why don't we try out tacos Gobernador (shrimp tacos) over at La Casa del Sazón. It was really really good. My wife and I both ordered the same plate and we each finished everything. They brought out a mild salsa where we could add to it in case we wanted a little more spicy. And that way we could adjust the heat level. Because the tacos were not very spicy at all to begin with, which was perfect for us so we could adjust accordingly so these tacos crispy cheesy shrimpy goodness. They put a little coleslaw on the side, but it's more Mexican style without the mayonnaise. I also really enjoyed my drink which had cucumber and lime. I am very happy and I'm looking forward to the next time we come back. I forgot to mention that I also thought that the bill was a good value about sixty dollars for everything and we each had three tacos loaded with shrimp. Also there was no extra charge for the chips and salsa like some places do. read more

Visited 6/1/25. Served by Dakota - top notch service and friendly. Took our order , promptly, followed by drinks and our dinner- chilled on us often and made sure our order was served. Nothing short of great service and food - definitely will be back. Please open in Salinas. read more

I came back to Monterey after 10 years and learned they'd opened this location in Monterey. Usually when businesses expand to multiple locations, the quality tends to fall, but this wasn't the case at all! This place is as amazing as I remembered that the food is as flavorful and the staff is just as nice. I can't believe how good this place still is! read more

Came here for dinner and it was awesome! Eating out with a 3 year old and 18 month old can be a lot of work and they were so nice and accommodating. They had paper and crayons for the kiddos and the kids also loved the food. I had the chili relleno's and they weee great. read more

This place is simply delicious. I ordered the Carne Asada Nachos, Carne Asada Burrito and Chilaquiles w/ green salsa. My experience: The restaurant was very accommodating as we brought our dog on a road trip and gave us outdoor seating. The service was very kind and welcoming. This restaurant is also in a very nice location with a private parking lot and in walkable distance to the Monterey shore! Right after ordered, they brought out complimentary salsa and chips, and soon the food arrived. The Chilaquiles ARE TO DIE FOR!! The portions are also very large so I definitely left feeling stuffed. This place definitely did not disappoint and i would definitely return next time I'm in the area read more

This is a real authentic Mexican restaurant. Fresh and deliciously prepared. I have had many fish tacos in my life and this was one of the best. I chose fresh vegetables and refried beans to go with it. Just off downtown old Monterey downtown. Very friendly staff and easy to find parking. A couple stopped me in Carmel Valley a few hours later asking for a good place to eat, I directed them here. read more

Nice Mexican restaurant with outdoor (small) seating which we needed for our dog. Food was good and prices average. Would go again.

I have been going to this place forever and it is truly my favorite. Their tortillas are so good and the staff is so friendly. Shout out to Dakota he is so kind and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is taken care of! read more

Just like I remember, the molcajete is a must with those hand made tortillas and a perfect salsa, grilled onions, cactus, packed with steak, chicken and don't forget to add some shrimp for that bundle of perfection. Thanks again for the awesome meal. After a nice walk on the wharf some killer Mexican food is hits perfectly. read more

Best Mexican food in the area!! Service is friendly and the absolute best. Such a warm and inviting environment. Definitely recommend.

Stopped in here for some takeout. Kind, friendly staff. Ordered the super burrito with fish (sea bass) .Delicious . It hit the spot. Salsa was fresh. You can taste the homemade goodness. read more

We love their Molcajete. We haven't ordered anything else from here. The medium is pretty spicy so be a little conservative on choice of spiciness. We love spicy food and medium is almost a little too spicy but we always order the medium . They are a little on the pricey side but good. My only recommendation for them is their rice and beans side order is very minimal for the price. read more

Walked in to have a drink with a buddy and ordered a white claw. Bartender Ignacio said no white claws available. This is not a bad review only a review to get some white claws for your establishment. Bartender Ignacio made the best margaritas and he offered some chips and salsa to our visit. I'll be back to this bar soon. Hopefully you will have white claws lol read more

Food was amazing, but the service was really slow. There were only 2 servers for the whole place. We waited over 20 minutes for drinks and were there for over an hour. I watched hot food sit in the pickup window and get cold before it was picked up to be served. Our food was also kind of cold. read more

Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in the peninsula. I personally have heard so many good things about this restaurant, as they have various locations in the peninsula. I have never tried it till now. I am boy have I been missing out! Our server was kind and friendly. Right away, he took our order for our beverages, in which I ordered an Horchata. They Horchata itself was delicious, and definitely not artificial. I went ahead and ordered the quesabirria tacos. My boyfriend ordered some Asada Gorditas, and my parents ordered their famous Molcajete, and added shrimp. Our food was served to us right away and looked super appealing. These Quesabirria tacos definitely did not disappoint. The taco it was super crispy and fall of shredded birria and cheese. Both my parents and my boyfriend love their seasoning, and how rich the food was. The flavoring of everything was just phenomenal. This location is quite big, and has both booths and tables available for sitting inside. I'll definitely be back ! read more

The food was amazing, and the service even better. Would absolutely come back ! Thank you Giselle and Dakota !

Ordered a combination plate-1 cheese enchilada and 1 beef crispy taco. Red sauce on the enchilada had a little kick of spice but fairly good. The taco tasted ok -not great but good size. Disappointed there was not much rice & beans on the plate. Chips & salsa came with the meal and I had a Mexican Coca-cola. Service was good and did not have to wait too long for my food. Ambiance was ok-music not too loud and had a few diners in for lunch. Price for my meal was extremely expensive for a combo lunch plate-my total bill was over $30 which included a $5.00 tip. Slightly cheaper if you pay cash. They also impose a 4% maintenance fee??? I don't think I'll be back anytime soon-there are a lot more other Mexican restaurants with better taste and value for your money. read more
