The BEST tripas ever! Both my friend and I agreed that this was the most perfectly cooked tripas we've had. Normally we would have to ask places to make it extra crispy so it's not too chewy but even without asking the tripas came out nicely with a perfect balance of crispiness and slightly chewy. Tacos were loaded so the two tacos were enough. Refried beans had a good consistency but could had used a little salt. Rice was nicely cooked and seasoned. The order counter is located in the middle and you do have to order before taking a seat. They'll bring your food out to you. There is self served scoops and sauces station. Both chips and sauces could had use some salt. But the red sauce had a nice little kick. Service was good and they have multiple TVs that were showing the FIFA game with Mexico playing so that was fun to watch while eating. Good place to enjoy the food and watch the game. Vibe was there. Plenty of chairs and tables if you're wanting to dine in. The parking lot is a shared one with a lot of other businesses so it took a bit to find parking. read more

Las Cazuelas - Taco Plate - Tripas - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Their carne asada tacos are really good. I ordered two yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I also love the salsa bar with a variety of sauces and fresh veggies. This has stayed continuously good. This is a great place to eat, catch up with friends, and hang out with family. read more

Las Cazuelas - What the outside looks like :) - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Mando was way too spicy. It should say on the menu that it's hot. Other than that, everything was pretty good.

Did a quick search for Mexican food in Seaside and read the reviews that the Super Burritos are huge and the best in town. I do agree that the burrito is huge. I haven't been to enough Mexican spots to know if they are the best, but they are a solid 4 star. The service was friendly, and the dining room was clean and relaxed. The burrito came out two minutes after I ordered, which always makes me nervous. I ordered the carne asada burrito and the meat was tender and full of flavor. The only negative was that the burrito was warm - not hot, not cold, just warm. read more

This is a definitely a gem! Walking in, you are met with aromas of your friend's mom's house as she is cooking chile for that evening's dinner with a hint of tortillas de maiz aromas in the background. The venue is small, but the ambiance is great. Lots of earthenware tile and decor from Mexico adorning the walls. Service is quick. It's walk up, order, and seat yourself. There's a chips, salsa, and condiments bar that is self-serve. Everything was fresh, and salsas were chilled. The food was made fresh, upon order. While we were recommended to go to a different place, we were glad to have found this location. The food was exactly what we were all craving! Definitely one to add to the list of places to eat when in Monterrey. read more

What an amazing place - the food was excellent - like - this place would do well in LA or San Diego so what a treat to find it in Seaside! The prices were reasonable, the staff was friendly... and this was all great BEFORE I found the *free* chips-and-salsa bar! The amazing salsa bar includes a bunch of different/unique salsas as well as spicy carrots, cucumber and radish. HIGHLY recommended - what a great experience! read more

Las Cazuelas - Carne Asada Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Las Cazuelas is a solid choice for Mexican food. Sure, it's a bit watered down compared to "more authentic" Mexican taquerias but there's nothing to shame here when it comes down to food that tastes good that comes with quick and efficient service. The location shares a parking lot with other businesses so parking can get crowded. There's a popular buffalo wing chain next door (you know which one I'm talking about). So, depending on when you visit, be prepared to park a bit further than you'd expect. The interior of the location is smaller than you'd expect from looking at the outside. Judging by the fact that the restaurant even has a "to-go container" shelf by the registers with a hand written note on it saying "do not touch" leads me to believe that the kitchen area is probably quite cramped as well. So they're trying to maximize the interior footprint the best they can. Even so, I didn't have trouble finding a table for two. Something I always appreciate when going out for Mexican food / Tex-mex is a good salsa bar. This place delivers on that. From cucumbers, to radishes, escabeche, and a couple of different salsas to choose from, there are plenty of options. There's one mild green salsa and a spicier red salsa, plus pico de gallo available. I ordered the regular Carne asada burrito which came out really quickly after I ordered it. I'm talking about less than 3 minutes. It was hot, wrapped well, and ready for devouring. The carne itself was a bit dry and the rice didn't taste overly seasoned. The beans were cooked perfectly though (I hate when they're overdone) and had a nice "bite" to them. With that said; Was this the best burrito I've ever had? No. Would I come back and try another one? Yes. Overall, the shortcomings here are minimal and the food itself is good enough to warrant another try. The prices are fair ($11.95 for my burrito) so, if you're in the area, it's worth a try yourself. Otherwise, there are plenty of stellar options for Mexican food in the area. read more

Breakfast burritos were huge and delicious! Could have definitely shared one. I added guacamole and didn't even need salsa. It wasn't dry like some breakfast burritos can be. They add refried beans to it too. Bacon, ham or chorizo read more

Las Cazuelas - Carne Asada Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Seaside, Ca. We were actually looking for a different place when we happened onto this mall based restaurant. It's set up to look like fast food Mexican, though it's really a bit better than that. My tacos were ok, good but not a lot in them, I would avoid the crispy version if your hoping for a larger portion of protein, My wife ordered the Chile relleno and a taco ala carte but it came out with the typical rice and crappy refried beans. She took it back in and they removed the offending extras but offered to refund for the charge of a combination plate. read more

Stopped by for an easy Mexican dinner. Nice Ambiance and service was great, people friendly .. but I was disappointed with the food. I got the Chicken Enchiladas and hubby got burrito. They have a self service chip bar with a heat lamp but chips were not fresh. Enchiladas looked good but absolutely no flavor, which really surprised me, I don't think I tasted any salt of pepper even.. my husband said his burritos was very dry and flavorless also. Had more beans than anything else.. Disappointed read more

Las Cazuelas - Chicken Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Sure...another taqueria. Nothing special and nothing wrong. It's just okay. Average in all ways. Has this what it's come to? Is average what we crave? Five of us sat and ate dinner. Got up and went outside. Not a word about dinner was spoken. What! Before all of us getting into our cars and driving away I asked " how was the food." " Good, okay and alright " were the answers. Boring Mexican restaurants and food in such a culturally rich Hispanic place as Monterey county is a drag. There's better. I want better, great, so delicious. Last words...keep trying. read more

Las Cazuelas - Super nachos asada - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

This fast/casual Mexican restaurant is more than a fast restaurant (not necessarily a fast food place as you walk up to the ordering counter, pay for your food and they will bring your food to your table.) There is no way you can argue with the fact that this place has almost 5-star reviews from people who've dined there, and today, I joined one of them. Quality food, good service are offered at this place on top of the authentic feel of a/any Mexican place you'd expect to see. Prices are just right, too (if you do an a-la carte of two items, salsa bar and a bottle of beer would come to about $20 which is not bad for a restaurant in Seaside/Monterey area.) Employees are constantly walking around the place to ensure if we are enjoying our food, if we need anything else etc. Their attentiveness is/was top notch. The place is/was clean as well. Our home city (Denver) would love to have a restaurant like this in every major areas in it. I wonder if they'd consider opening a location in CO in the future?? I'm crossing my fingers for that!! read more

I think honestly they deserve a 3 1/2 star but that's not an option. You ask why: well that chips were stale and they are not authentic. The portions are excellent and service is quick. The girl at the cash register greeted us with a smile. The salsa bar was fresh. The bathroom were not the cleanest. I think they can do better. read more

Las Cazuelas - Nachos with Carne asados - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Good food at a decent price (these days) - it was a late night option for us and it filled the need.

Going in to the restaurant my first impression was that it was spacious and clean. You order first and they bring the food to you. The mid-age man taking our order was not very friendly and almost rude. As for the food, the carne en su jugo was in point just like the other reviews. The enchiladas were horrible as I mentioned in my picture. I just can't believe they would serve something like that. We also got nachos, they give you plenty of meat and chips but the flavor was just okay. read more

Las Cazuelas - Don't! Worst enchiladas I have ever had. Sauce tastes like tomato sauce, borderline ketchup. - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

Chose this place, as out-of-towners, based on Yelp reviews. Four stars. People generally like it. Admittedly, was looking for a quick bite after a tough day so we weren't seeking a super nice downtown Paso experience. But these flavors were barely pedestrian. Salsa and sauces hardly made the grade. Uninspired. Cheese enchilada (rather than my norm because I wanted to fuel the machine not have a gastro-delight) was borderline. Same with the hubs' fish tacos. Rice was not good at all to my palate. It had a slightly rancid taste. If you follow my reviews, I wanna be nice, fun, spotlight smaller family owned spots, but this was not particularly good. Not completely unacceptable but they haven't got far to go to get there. Off night? Me? Dunno but it's not worth a second chance in my book. read more

YES YES AND YES! I have been searching for an authentic Taqueria for a while now since I was you ger. This place is OG with their incredibly generous servings and rich flavor. We got the super nachos, carne asada plate, and a bunch of enchilada plates. The carne asada plate is the way to go for a plate with salad, guacamole, crema, and rice and beans. The staff was really kind and helpful too! I'll be back the next time I am in Monterey! read more

Recently I ordered a grilled chicken burrito and the burrito was not hot. It was warm at best. Almost no flavor. Got asada tacos and the meat looked like it was boiled. No flavor no sear. The beans looked and tasted like rosarita canned beans. Super disappointing this last time going. I gave it 3 stars cause I have gone here in the past and food was great. Idk what happened in the short months since going. I'll definitely not be returning. read more

We were playing some pinball down the street at Lynn's and wanted to take advantage of their unlimited in and outs to go get some food. Craving a taqueria, I knew this was the spot! I've been a frequent visitor of their marina location, but haven't stopped in here before. I'm glad to say the quality has not been impacted by their expansion. Wanting something to help soak up the couple of craft beers I had, I went with my go to, carne in sujugo. It is a mix of beans, bacon, carne asada and avocado in an insanely tasty broth. It is served with corn or flour tortillas to make little tacos. I especially liked it with their avocado hot salsa. They have a chip and salsa bar with about 5 different salsa ranging from pico to spicy. My friend was very impressed (and very full) with his chicken burrito, and my other friends loved their 5 tacos. Las Cazuelas is a great addition to the Seaside Broadway area. read more

Best tripas I've ever had! Everyone was so nice and welcoming and the foood was amazing!

Cashier had poor customer service, he promised chips and salads. Never delivered. He locked the bathrooms so no one could use them since he already cleaned it. Refused to give the key and claimed there was already someone in there. Instead he gave the key to someone else while no one came out as he claimed there was someone in there. The agua Fresca was not available and put away way before closing time. I would never revisit this place again. read more
