We were supposed to go to a noodle place but they were "to go" only. We found this unassuming Mexican place a few doors down and we were quite pleased with the service and food. While waiting for our food, we were served chips and salsa. The chips were "the delicious" kind according to my daughter. Apparently, not all corn chips are made the same. The beef soup has good flavor and the veggies were fresh-very comforting indeed. The shrimp and octopus ceviche was seasoned well, the shrimp and octopus were freshly prepared. This is a solid Mexican joint. read more

The food was so bland the salsa was good, thank heavens. Service fine. No one in the restaurant except 1 other table not surprised. What a shame we were referred to this place. We have eaten at another Sarita's that was really tasty not sure what happened here. The inside needs a complete make over!! read more

Fast & friendly service and I mean it was quick! Not a busy night when I went in but I really thought I'd have more time to relax and get some work finished before my food was out. Salas was nice but I wanted some thing hot and I mean really hot and they didn't disappoint they have a Diablo sauce that you have to request and it's got the heat! Food was great. Super cool spot right by my hotel. read more

Always friendly service making anyone feel welcome! A great breakfast can be found here! So much flavor in the nopales and a great portion! A small restaurant but plenty of seating! read more

If I could give 0, I would. Not very tasty or authentic at all. I was excited to try the flan and it was gross. It came in a soupy mess and was very hard like it had been sitting there awhile. Also the flavor was not right. read more

Passing through & we stopped dinner. Small but clean and friendly. Ordered a chili relleno dinner. Great. Also a carne asada enchilada dinner. Also very good...the red sauce was great. Horchata was delicious. read more

I come here at least 3 times a week. I can't get enough of their great Good Morning breakfast and their cheese enchilada plate. So good.

We popped in here by chance due to the positive reviews on Yelp and it was a great decision. Our entree were each around $11 and we ordered the chicken enchilada and the chile relleno. The flavors were delicious and chips seemed like the home made kind. The chile relleno I've had in the past has more typically had a red sauce. This one did not but had hella cheese. It was still delicious but atypical. read more

Was staying in the motel across from the street with 0 breakfast options and walked over to Sarita's. Yummy food, fast service! I liked how they offered both traditional American & Mexican breakfasts. Chose to go with the chorizo con huevos. Can't complain read more

This place has been around forever and is very well loved. I haven't been too often over the years but when I have visited it's always been so delicious. Recently I ordered takeout for hub and I. Chili relleno and beef enchilada combo plates. All the flavors and sauce were delicious, however, we were just not feeling that very, very rubbery cheese used in the chili, that part was a bit disappointing and I wouldn't want to repeat. Other than that it was very delicious. read more

Sarita's is definitely the "go-to" place for some of the best Mexican Cuisine on The Monterey Peninsula. The service is always so great, friendly/warm, and you almost feel like family The ambiance is so nice, the menu(s) are situated within the tabletops This is such a plus... that way if you'd like to order more, you can make another selection immediately. I personally recommend The Enchiladas (either sauce is delish) The Nachos are slamming too! Please NOTE: THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL FEE; IF YOU DO NOT PAY WITH CASH read more

The menudo was delicious!!!! So good service was quick. Ambiance is on brand. Wish I had a bolillo to sop up the caldo but miner details.

We've visited Saritas over the years and find the good quality consistent and the wait staff attentive and competent. It's a regular stop for me. read more

We have been coming to this small place for awhile now and each time we have had a delicious meal and good service. Sometimes we opt for old favorites like tacos and enchiladas and other times, like last night, we try something different. I had a fish taco and chile rellano that was so good; I wasn't that hungry but I managed to eat the entire thing. Hubs chose the whole fish entree and it was huge and cooked so crisp and delicious. More than enough to share (had we known about portion size) but we took home and we'll use the fish for homemade sushi hand-rolls tonight! This Sarita's location is in a small strip mall, but don't let that deter you...it's worth a stop for homestyle Mexican food. read more

Food is good but when I came on to pick up An order the lady on there started yelling at me saying I came there too soon and that she couldn't help me. All I did was walk in and when a lady asked me if I needed help I just said I was coming to pick up an order but I was in no rush. I am not sure what upset the other lady so much but was waving her hands and pointing her finger at me while yelling across the restaurant Very weird I won't be back read more

Sarita's wasn't that bad when I was looking for some Mexican food on the fly. In fact, it hit the spot when the taco cravings kicked in. They brought some delicious homemade salsa to the table that hit the spot. They were super generous with how much salsa was brought in this bowl even though I was flying solo. Yes, I said salsa bowl. Not a little cup. They do not have al pastor available which is my go to. Bummed about that but was able to move on and get carne asada instead. The shredded chicken wins the award for the most flavorful and succulent chicken ever. Its moist and packed with flavor. The Chile relleno is nothing to write home about. It wasn't very good. In fact, one bite was enough for me and I left the rest there. The only beer here is Corona, Modelo and Pacifico. Ewww....... That's was a bummer since I'm from craft beer land of Sonoma County. I know I'm not in Kansas anymore Toto. It's over the rainbow to Modelo land. Blehhhh..... This place was a mixed bag. Good salsa No pastor Great chicken Not so great Chile relleno Great service Beer selection is poor read more

I am Mexican and I hate to give a Mexican restaurant a hard time or bad feedback but I don't think I'll be coming back to eat here. I hate to give bad reviews but these nachos were terrible , there's hella chips and not Even not enough meat and the cheese is really nasty. Usually other Mexican restaurants put Monterey white cheese on top of the chips and melt it but this one is yellow American cheese melted on top of the chips and taste horrible. I even tipped 5 dollars I wish I can take it back. read more

Sarita's Mexican Restaurant - Nachos that are horrible - Mexican Near Me - Seaside, California

I only tried this place because I was running low on time for my lunch break and unfortunately I was slightly disappointed. The beans were good & a good serving but my cheese nachos were a different story. I'd say they were more disappointing than gas station nachos & I payed 11.50 for them. I did eat some because I was hungry but I took a pic for Yelp when I finished. (Didn't feel like finishing the rest) maybe consider using nacho cheese or better melting cheese for the nachos. read more

I was in town a couple of nights and this place was nearby so I thought I'd try it. Waste of money. I took a few bites and threw it away.

Saritas is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant So many fabulous choices on the menu it is hard to decide . I always go for the shredded beef enchiladas along with cheese enchilada. I always ask for a bowl of green salsa to go with the hot chips they set on your table. It is really great stuff. The flan for dessert is really drlicious. Whether it be tacos, burritos, machaca, or enchiladas, everything is incredibly drlicious. read more

The food, service and cleanliness of this Sarita's location is poor at best. I lived in Marina for 10-years and went to that location 2-3 times a month and so I expected more when I went to the Seaside location. The nearly empty restaurant at dinner-time should have been my first clue but I ignored my instincts and ordered dinner anyway. There was only one other table with customers but it took a long time for our food to come out and not once during that 30-minutes we waited did the waitress come and check on us or let us know it would take so long. She also never bothered to ask if we wanted chip or drink refills. When we finally got our food, the chimichanga we ordered was dark brown. Judging by the taste, it was both over cooked and cooked in old oil. My order was wrong and the waitress noticed it after I already started eating (she got orders mixed up between the only two tables with customers in the restaurant). I really didn't want to wait another 30-minutes so I ate what they delivered. It was a bland mess and even though I was starving, I regretted eating any of it. read more

I asked for soft tacos with no lettuce nothing. I got hard shell tacos with literally everything you can think on it . Then I got chili colorado . Before I could even make it home the whole meal spilled out the food box into the bag . WAY TOO MESSY! To say the least I won't be eating here again ! Don't waste your time . Their good reviews are bogus or they make them their selves . I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone . read more

Sweet and simple: good food for cheap! I've been here a couple times and it's always cheap, fast, and tastes good. I like that the rice is a little bit salty. My friend and I split the 2 item plate cause we weren't super hungry. Got 2 chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. We left work at 11, got there and ordered, got our food and finished it by 11:34. Granted my friend and I eat on the faster side but the food was brought out in a flash too. read more

If I could give this place 0 starts, that would be my option. I arrived to the restaurant to pick my food up and apparently, the not so smart person behind the counter gave my food to a doordasher. The employee lacking common sense did not utilize the importance of reading the name of the individual who ordered the food. The lack of her willingness to help remediate the situation was appalling and forcefully insisted she has nothing to do with doordash but, doesn't comprehend the importance of reviewing an order before handing it to a customer or in this case, the doordasher. I've been going here for many years and this establishment has been removed from me ever ordering from here again! This is a notice to beware of the employee who might give your food to another customer, then blame you for her mistake. I feel bad for this person and I hope her life experiences of ignorance will one day teach her common sense through idiotic adversity in equivalence to non sensical rational decision making.

We were running errands. Some of us wanted breakfast some lunch. Always love Mexican food. We are not local. This is really close to Costco. Only one server and she took care of all of the tables with a friendly attitude and great service! Food was very good. We had chili verde and it was great! Not fatty and very flavorful! Give them your business! They do take outs too and family packs. Hue is rancheros were a hit. read more

We were passing through town and decided on Sarita's after discovering our initial pick was closed. Sarita's was a fine choice. The restaurant is colorful and clean, and the service is friendly. Breakfast is served all day, and while we dined in, it's a fairly promising restaurant for take out. My partner and I ordered two egg dishes: Nopales con Huevos and Huevos a La Mexicana. We ordered a side of rice and beans with corn tortillas, automatically assembling breakfast tacos like the Texans we are. The salsa was terrific with a subtle chipotle kick. The nopales was wonderful and cooked perfectly. In the kitchen, I saw the big cast iron pans, so prepare for some moderately oily food. My one disappointment in my meal was the corn tortillas. They were fine, but not terribly fresh. Rating a 4 for the value and service, food a 3.5. read more

A small place in little strip mall but super yummy with huge portions. Horchata and salsa from scratch. Huge Chile rellenos and awesome rice and beans. We ordered the fiesta tostada (taco salad) a few combo platters (assorted tacos and burritos) plus lots of chips and salsa for our table of 7. The lady was super sweet and my kiddos were so happy to share their beach adventures with her. We will definitely stop here when we are in town again. read more

Went here for breakfast with a friend of mine while attending the Monterey Jazz Festival. Pretty good little place... Nothing fancy, but our food was good, service was friendly and fairly efficient. I opted for the chili verde omelette , which is my go-to Sunday morning pre-jazz festival breakfast. :-) it was pretty good. Could've been a little spicier for my taste, but I asked for their salsa on the side, so all was well. My friend opted for the huevos rancheros, and he had a clean plate at the end, so that's also a good sign I think. This place is way way better option than the Denny's that's next to our hotel, I can promise you that! read more

Great service with a smile. My chicken soup was fantastic and the portions were HUGE. The sausage part of the broth was insanely yummy though I wasn't the keenest on them leaving the bones on the meat. They happily split the check for us and I left with a full belly and a smile. Yum! read more

Visiting the coast from out-of-town and we wanted something local, and Sarita's did not disappoint. It's a small establishment, but we felt welcome and the service was great. My cheese enchilada was tasty. My shredded beef taco was fine but using a preformed taco shell was disappointing. Chips and salsa also good - not spicy (I'm a wimp). Glad to support a local business! read more

Ordered chicken enchiladas pretty sure the chicken was undercooked. A little too pink for my taste

Sarita's Mexican Restaurant is a staple in Monterey County. With locations in Marina, Prunedale, and Seaside. We usually visit the Seaside local. Always friendly. With so many Mexican food joints around it is hard to tell which ones are great. Well Saritas is good food and friendly service. The employees have all been there for the 10-12 years we have been going here. They treat us like locals which is always a plus. We see many locals while we are eating here. Probably the most delicious dish is the Molchejita, or some sort of name like that. it is cactus, Bacon wrapped shrimp, steak, chicken, and Oaxacan cheese. I always get the BIG BURRITO, chile verde, wet with cheese on top! This can't be beat for 6.99. Cheers to this great place. read more
