    Burrito
    Jessie D.

    There are only a few Mexican restaurants in this area to choose from, and I think this may be my favorite. My vegetarian burrito was lovely, with a very good mix of toppings. The interior of the restaurant is very cute too. I'll definitely have to come back and try again!

    Churros

    Fantastic experience! Attentive service and delicious food! I ordered the chicken mole enchiladads (phenomenal) and the chile verde (great flavor). I also ordered a margarita and churros for dessert. I would definitely recommend the chicken mole enchiladas and the churro! So good! The chike verde had great flsvor but could be a bit more tender. Overall, it was a great meal and i will definitely recommend to others!

    Local place that never disappoints. Large portions and the food is fresh and so tasty. The service is fast and friendly. Love the quesadillas, breakfast burritos and chicken tortilla soup. The chips and salsa are the bomb. Been coming here for years and they satisfy my need for local authentic Mexican food.

    My family was craving Mexican food after a hike-filled day in Big Sur so we decided to check out Los Amigos after looking up recs on Yelp! The restaurant is located in downtown Pacific Grove which seemed to be a lively area. There is limited parking in front of and behind the restaurant. When we arrived around 8:15pm, the restaurant was winding down so not too crowded. We ordered family style: veggie chimichanga, veggie burrito, veggie fajitas, and churro. We enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa! Note for vegetarians/vegans: the rice is cooked with chicken stock so we requested our meals without it. All the dishes were tasty! The ingredients were very fresh. My family appreciated how there were plenty of vegetables (including cauliflower which is not very common!). Generous portion sizes. The veggie fajitas was huge and came with lots of sides! My personal favorite was the chimichanga - thought it had the most flavor and I liked the guacamole, sour cream, and pick de gallo on top. The churros were delicious! I liked how they were filled with Dulce de leche and also how it came with vanilla ice cream (which was amazing!). The churro itself was a little savory which contrasted nicely with the ice cream. I would definitely recommend Los Amigos. Flavorful food, good bang for buck, and friendly customer service. When we told the waiter about our vegetarian dietary restriction, he gave us a heads up about the rice and appropriately gave us suggestions from the menu. Food came out fairly quick. Support local businesses like Los Amigos!

    I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I was really disappointed with my first experience here at this place. While eating my food, I found a small knotted hairball embedded into my food. It completely ruined my appetite and made me uncomfortable finishing the meal. What bothered me even more was that when I brought it to their attention, there wasn't even an apology for it happening. Cleanliness and customer service are really important when serving customers, so I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and improves their food handling and how they respond to situations like this.

    El Jefe Super Grande Burrito

    I recently moved to Pacific Grove from Monterey and decided to try a new Mexican restaurant. I ordered a Chile Relleno, which was delicious. My roommate ordered the El Jefe Super Grande Burrito. It looked so good that I ordered it with shredded chicken the next day. Hands down, the BEST burrito I have ever had in my life. The shredded chicken was so tender and flavorful, the enchilada sauce was the most unique I have ever had and I thoroughly enjoyed every last bite. I will definitely be returning on a routine basis!

    Cute little place at the back of a parking lot. Spacious and they do have a tv above the bar to watch games and such. Ordered quite a bit for dinner and lunch the next day. Cheese fries are a good little snack. Come with tons of catch up so if that's not your thing say so. Flautas come with a bunch of sour cream so also say something if that's not your thing. Tamales are good but they don't come with rice or beans and they do come completely drenched in sauce. The chicken with red sauce was far more flavorful than the pork with green sauce. Agua frescas are apparently mixed as one of us asked for jimaica and the other tamarindo and we got the same thing. Super burrito is bursting out of the tortilla and i specifically asked for everything but sour cream sooooo good. Guacamole is fresh! The chips and salsa that comes with ordering are extra yummy. Perfectly light and clean fried chips.... And that salsa **drool** huge fan! Service is fast, so make sure you order with and without the things you like. As not everything is listed on the menu as ingredients that come with. Would definitely pop back in to this local spot.

    I forgot how good the food is here. In PG for dentist appointment and got a craving for Mexican food. Sat at the bar, ordered the enchiladas suiza with chicken. Man they have the best chips and salsa I've ever had. Perfect amount of spice and everything is chopped up evenly. The enchiladas were good but I wasn't really a fan of the green sauce, tasted too sweet. Ended up ordering a pint of salsa to go. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area.

    Had dinner here tonight, they weren't super busy, i ordered a chimichanga & beans, my friend had chicken enchilada & flautas with beans & rice, we had chips & salsa, our dinner was good, we enjoyed it, our waitress was really sweet

    Inviting and calm atmosphere! Super quick and friendly service. The music that was played throughout the restaurant was very relaxing and not overstimulating/loud at all. Complementary chips and salsa were served to us once we sat down. Great food, good value!

You can tell it's been a local favorite for decades--the hand-scrawled signs and slogans everywhere give it so much character. They've been around for 40 years! The Blackened Chicken sandwich is what they're famous for, and it lives up to the hype as I've been ordering it since middle school. It's got a solid kick, and that buttermilk garlic dressing they use is addictive. If you're leaning more toward the taqueria side, the Blackened Shrimp Tacos and the Steak Fajitas are the move. I also get the House Burrito a lot as it's one of their famous specialties. Everything feels fresh and grilled, not greasy, which is a nice change of pace. The service is fast and friendly and the portions are huge for the price. It's a small, no-frills spot inside, but they have plenty of seating and a steady stream of locals picking up takeout which is always a good sign. Every meal comes with chips and salsa! Pro tip: They're closed on Sundays, so make sure you get your fix during the week. Definitely the best spot in PG for a quick, high-quality lunch that won't break the bank.

The employees were kind and helpful, we probably were the only people that didn't speak Spanish well in the restaurant but that wasn't an issue, SCW got the number 2 combo, I got the mole. Also ordered an appetizer. Seated and waited about 10 minutes and our order came out. Everything was freaking amazing. Such great flavors and so fresh.

The crunchy jalapeños with the chips, beans and guacamole were the perfect balance. As a meat eater, the texture of the faux meat was a touch odd, but the flavor more than made up for it. The staff was helpful and attentive even as they were balancing supporting customers, answer phone orders, and taking regular orders. My wife and will definitely be stopping by here more often!!

The food was fine, the atmosphere was fine, the service was fine -- nothing memorable, nothing bad. The real issue is price. Adding shrimp to a salad cost about $15, and our total with tip came out to around $140 for two people. For that price point in Monterey, I expected more from the food and overall experience. Would I come back? Probably not at full price. But if you have the Amex Platinum and quarterly Resy dining credits to use, it softens the blow enough to make it worth trying once.

The service was pleasant, although at times it felt a little condescending. They have their own very specific tequila collection, so don't expect to see many familiar brands. That's not necessarily a bad thing. We're always willing to try something new. The margaritas, however, were very tart. Just too much lime juice. We ordered tacos and asked for flour tortillas, only to be surprised when they arrived on corn tortillas. When we asked about it, we were told they simply don't serve flour tortillas. Fair enough, but that would have been helpful to know when we ordered. The good news: the chicken tinga, barbacoa, and carnitas were all excellent. Unfortunately, we just couldn't get past the corn tortillas which fell apart when you tried to eat the tacos. Ended up using a fork. For dessert, we ordered one of our favorites, churros. They arrived warm, but were very dry and tough. A churro should make you happy. These made us wish we'd stopped for dessert somewhere else. There were definitely some bright spots, especially the meats and the cozy atmosphere, but restaurants generally get one first chance to make us want to come back. Unfortunately, this one didn't.
