What a great way to leave a visited city. Work went well people are nice. And I was able to try an amazing al pastor wet burrito from Papa Chevos. If you have a big appetite try them out. I'm full. read more

We went here thinking it'd be a simple, easy drive thru taco place but we've never been back and I wouldn't recommend this place because the prices are outrageous and the food was just ok. We were charged over $8 per taco for simple chicken street tacos !!!!! I've never seen anything like it, the prices were absolutely outrageous. Those prices weren't listed on the menu, but what happened is we ordered 3 chicken street tacos, the speaker guy said "and did you want lettuce cheese and salsa on that?" And we were like yeah sure, then when we get to the window we realized we were charged extra for saying yes to that- even though those are usually just things that come on tacos?? This area can be expensive, but there are certainly plenty of other places you could get better Mexican food at wayy more reasonable prices, even late at night. If you do try this place, please please be cautious. read more

I have been getting the relino burrito... always good .. last night at 6:00 pm to three on chicken ... other two were chilirelino burrito. First time the tostada was grilled so much it was flaking off. The relino was not cooked ... then the smallest amount of rice ... no pincodegato .it was wrapped around several times with it flaking ... had to search for the rice ... gust a few grains that I had to look for... I understand cook do there way in making them their way but grilling the wrap to a crispy flaking .. burritos are not fried and no rice Never again .. bent time time I'll try Seasides walking in ..sit down at the table ... if they get it wrong you can take it back to the counter.. when others are in line to order .. that quality checking.. it hard to to the when you are driving to salinas .... read more

2.5 stars. It's fine. I've had this spot many times because I worked next door and I have never been impressed by any aspect of this place, it's just a roadside taco spot. Average. Basic. Mid. Ok. I wish there was better Mexican food in Marina tbh read more

Best carnitas burrito around always my go to when craving a good burrito friendly service lots of other amazing food

Their bacon breakfast burrito is amazing for $9! I wasn't as impressed with their chili relleno burrito (too much rice and a little bland) but I will definitely be back for their breakfast burritos. So good! read more

Outstanding breakfast burritos, tacos, tostadas and more. Amazing flavor and the green sauce is a must have. Would highly recommend - quick and not too greezy either. read more

Food isn't terrible the salsa makes up for the lack of flavor. I had two tacos one asada and one carnitas. The asada were bland. The carnitas were okay. The tortillas were good but not the best. The price for my meal was definitely not worth it! $5 for one taco isn't worth it. read more

I've been going here for years! I went to college in the area and i this was that hole in the wall restaurant that the local college students love! You definitely have to try the carne asada fries which are loaded with toppings and extra salsa on the side! Keep in mind there is no indoor seating and the outdoor seating isn't too great. You might end up enjoying this in your car or at a nice spot on the beach. Fries, asada, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole Plus salsa! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. SERIOUS WARNING. My mom was possibly drugged after eating at Papa Chevo's in Marina, CA. Within a short time of eating her meal, she became extremely drowsy, disoriented, and felt "drunk" -- even though she hadn't had a single drop of alcohol. She could barely keep her eyes open, slurred her speech, and felt dizzy and confused. We had to make sure she got home safely, and it was absolutely terrifying. Something is very wrong here. Whether it was a contamination issue, a spiked item, or some other kind of tampering, no one should ever experience symptoms like that from a restaurant meal. We have since filed a police report and are pursuing answers, because no customer should leave a restaurant feeling drugged or incapacitated. I'm writing this because I don't want anyone else to go through what my mom did. Be careful and stay alert -- I strongly recommend avoiding this location until there are answers and accountability. What happened to her was beyond unacceptable, and we're not letting it go. read more

The food is consistent but be aware of the older lady who is usually there for breakfast/lunch. I've been short-changed twice in a row.

Be prepared to wait what feels like 5 hours even if someone in front of you just ordered 1 thing. And very overpriced. But food sometimes be good read more

love the food here always. Unfortunately the guy at the window with a red apple watch on was super rude. He said maybe 4 words to us. A very unpleasant experience. read more

I had another bad experience here on Saturday. I called in an order 30 minutes before arriving at the restaurant. They didn't start my order until I arrived. It took them another 20 minutes to get my food out. Very frustrating. Last time I came they forgot half my order. The employees are typically rushed or rude or maybe both. I won't come back here again. read more

I've been eating here for over two years. Today was a disappointment. I waited 10 minutes for a breakfast burrito, and it was good. But I was overcharged. Papa Chevo's will always be a great spot for mediocre Mexican food, but I highly recommend making sure you check what you're being charged. read more

Food was ok; prices high...service, uhhh. Nothing of note regarding service, took our order, we paid, received food...no interaction!

Been here a handful of time and service here is always terrible. Food is subpar at best and overpriced. Added a canned coke or my order and the price went up 5 dollars. Not to mention the wait is always long even when the line is short. read more

Tried to order twice and nobody responded. Waited 5 minutes and nothing. Atleast let me know you're busy and it'll be a few minutes.

I usually love this spot, but unfortunately I found a hair in my burrito. Really disappointing -- I'll miss coming here.

Dude, I LOVED this place. I think it's Drive-Thru only, but there may be a walk-up window, too. (We didn't see anyone at it when we visited). The line takes a bit because it's all fresh made stuff, so bring a podcast. :-) The breakfast burrito was KILLER and I recommend it. Nachos were great. The salsas were good as well. Definitely would visit again if we come back to the Marina area! read more

Best Adobada burrito and taco in Marina! The meat is cooked perfectly with flavor. Even though the wait time can be awhile if busy, but it's worth the wait! I highly recommend. A MUST TRY!! read more

Hands down the best items from here are the carnitas burrito and carne asada fries! I get this every single time I come to Monterey and I've never been let down. I've brought friends from San Diego who claim they have the best Mexican food and burritos in SD and they vouch for papa chevos and say it competes with SD. So please try their carnitas burrito and fries! Also, portions are huge and prices are very fair to the lower end! Honestly, writing this review right now has me craving papa chevos! read more

Ordered the #17 and the chili verde was all fat, with the exception of 2 pieces of meat. Rice and beans were good. Very saucy, slightly spicy but good flavor. Beef enchilada plate was tasty, very little sauce. read more

My #1 stop when I go home. I been eating their food since I was in middle school! Literally so good.

The food here is good, but I almost never get what I order, despite the nice lady correctly repeating back my order every time. I still come back because it's ok, but it's totally random what you get out of that window. read more

Pure yummy. Best Beef tacos in California & nevada!! The Supreme burrito delightful! Taquitos, I don't know where to start! Yummy!!!!!

The food is very authentic and so tasty!! The service was great. The girl taking our order was very patient when I stumbled on some Spanish words and then we had a great Spanglish conversation lol she was very nice! The tables outside were very clean and there wasn't any trash or anything like that. I got #18 for $15 6 taquitos, rice & beans. My husband got a burrito de carne asada, he said it was really good and very big portion! I also got one taco de carnitas (I asked for meat only) just to see how their tacos are and it was a great choice!! They did NOT skimp no the meat at all! read more

Awesome food and service. Been coming here for 10+ years. Always delicious and high recommend

The food is not the same. I have 25 years visiting this place and their food is not the same anymore. Ordering a burrito breakfast make my day but now is so nasty that I am not coming back. read more

I stumbled across this little Mexican spot while passing through Seaside. I ordered a super burrito. Overall I give it a 9/10. Really big and tasted really good. Fresh guac and pico. Got my burrito in less than 10 mins. Would definitely go back. read more

Drive thru, hello! The amount of wait time this place has is ridiculous. You would think they got the cheese from milking the cow and then preparing it lol. Ordered carne asada fries and they were decent but..not enough meat. I asked for green salsa after receiving my fooGood thing I did bc they don't put salsa in the fries. Basic customer service. No greeting just repeated what I ordered but she did say thank you and put 4 salsas and not just 1. She remembered the napkins too. read more

Wonderful burritos. Terrific burritos. No complaints Breakfast burritos and the quesabirria tacos slap read more

Charges are sketchy. I was charged $32 for carnes asada fries and a carnitas burrito. The fries were soggy and some not cooked through. The amount of carne asada is not even close to being worth $12. The carnitas burrito had a humongous flour tortilla with nothing but the meat inside and too much tortilla with inadequate amount of meat. No beans or rice for $8.50. Again, check your order before getting turning your cards or money over. According to the menu on the website, the total should've been $20.50 plus tax. The tax wouldn't have amounted to $32! I'll be contacting the chain and keep you updated. I will not be coming back. read more

We came around 9:30pm on a Sunday. Food was fresh, 1 car ahead of us in the drive-thru. The drive-thru was a nice option. Although, there is a walk-up window to order from as well and 2 tables for outdoor seating. They are also open pretty late, so it was a great stop for late night driving. We ordered: Carnitas Taco - this was good! Soft taco shell, crunchy carnitas, fresh pico de gallo, and guacamole. I think my exact words to my husband were, "this taco is pretty" Al Pastor Fries- came out piping hot. Lots of melty cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. The al pastor had an interesting smoky flavor. Big enough for 2 people to share. Pineapple Agua fresca- refreshing and they let me order it with "light ice". They are open late and are right off the freeway IN FRONT of the Valero gas station. Don't turn into the gas station as there is a fence separating the two businesses. The driveway may be easy to miss, so be wary of this. The guy at the window was friendly and efficient. Customer service was good. They have two locations-- one in Marina and Seaside. Come and give them a try! read more

MENU AND FOOD: They offer a pretty extensive list of Mexican favorites. Their menu can be a bit overwhelming to look at, which is a good thing to me! And, they are also open until Midnight. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is quick and efficient. Their exterior building looks dated and run down. They are a drive through place only, with a few picnic tables outside. PARKING: They having their own parking lot with enough spots. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: I had their shrimp rancheros with a side of rice, beans and tortillas. Overall, I was not too impressed, and their salsa quality didn't help. The food quality and presentation are pretty subpar. I would be willing to give them another try as I've heard good things about their burritos. read more

went through the drive thru and ordered 3 carne asada tacos. The stickers w/ the prices were peeling off and I went on thinking they were going to be average priced. When the lady at the window said 17 dollars I thought I had misheard her but nope. They were mid and cold. Not worth 20 dollars. read more
