The service and the food was amazing. My mom doesn't like eating out and this was the 1st time she requested to come back. The portions are huge. 1 plate can feed 2 people. We really enjoyed the family seafood platter. 10 out of 10 eat again!!!! read more

Food presentation is great, however the food is bland and needs flavor. The Cadillac margarita was great, as well as the service. Friendly and attentive staff, with fast service. I would suggest coming for drinks and appetizers. read more

Worse place in Salinas for Mex. food. The service is okay. Food comes out quickly.Reason for that is all the food is microwaved. I ordered a chimichanga to go after having lunch. The server took it upon himself to order the plate he didn't ask if I wanted a plate or A la cart. He knew I didn't not speak Spanish. When I bought it up after receiving my bill. He told the other server that I had ordered the plate. My cousin who does speak Spanish told him no she did not order the plate. He then said well since you two ordered a plate I assumed thats what you wanted. I didn't have a problem paying for it I do have a problem with LIARS. My 14 yr old granddaughter cooks better mex. food. Everything was bland and the "salsa" was over powered with CUMIN. It is not fresh. I will never recommend this restaurant. Are we as a society okay with accepting SUP PAR food and service? read more

The best Mexican restaurant in town! The best beans anywhere. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Taco salads and the enchiladas, plus burritos are always delish. The restaurant is really cute and huge inside. You can rent one of the bigger rooms for events. A good spot to bring out of town guests. read more

Walked in, seated and my chips and salsa in 2minutes food was delivered to my table in 8 minutes. Very friendly staff, great food. Cantina style sit down restaurant , music was not too loud. Had a pretty steady stream of customers. I Will be back read more

After m9ving back to the area we decided to have some food from here, they had been so good 10 years ago, now not so much, my burrito espcecial was disgusting, they sauce leaked all over the bag, the burrito was a nasty wet sloppy burrito, it was disgusting. Would not recommend this place. read more

Taquitos Mexican Restaurant is THE BEST! The quality food and service recently provided to my special customers: doctors & staff of the Respiratory dept. at Natividad Hospital in Salinas was excellent! From the fresh shrimp & veggies to the delicious beans & rice and authentic chips, salsa and guacamole, this business did everything right! To top it off, I had the pleasure of meeting both Sandra and Yesenia who are two genuine, kind and dedicated employees that ensured the wonderful lunch was delivered to the correct dept and on time. The attention to detail and care they demonstrated was by far the most superior service I have seen in a long time. I am ordering with them again today! Congratulations on your high quality food, service and standards! read more

One of our absolute favorites in Salinas. We have been going there for over 20 years. Food is great, staff is excellent!

The place is neat and clean, love the interior theme and design, friendly and inviting. The service is always great and fast. The foods are sooo delicious. We love Mexican foods and have tried many places but by far this is the best place in town. So glad my friend recommended this to us. This will be our go to place for Mexican foods. read more

Its great. Stopped by on a friday night for a michelada tower and they do not disapoint. Our server went above and beyond and was friendly and attentive to our needs she made the experience! The only reason why I didnt give them 5 stars was the nachos. To be clear. The size of the nachos was decent. They came out fast and were hot and tasty however, I am not a fan of nachos with melted cheese. When I think Nachos I want Nacho Cheese Sauce. Atmosphere was great, it was chill, not too busy and not too loud either. Service was great. MICHELADA TOWER WAS EXCELLENT 5/5 recommend! read more

This is the second time I've came and again their food is disgusting I went with a party of 6 and none of us ate more than a couple bites. Carnitas were trash, chicken was gross, rice and beans had no flavor, it's a cute place and staff is nice but the food is a waste read more

The ambiance is great as well as the service but the food itself is not good. DO NOT ORDER THE FISH OR SHRIMP TACOS! They were so poorly served. They were dry and flavorless. The fajitas I ordered were a 7/10 they could of had more flavor and the order comes with 2 tortilllas, rice, and beans. I won't be coming back nor recommending this restaurant. read more

Have been coming here for YEARS and the food and people never disappoint!!! I LOVE the chile relleno sauce I put it on everything!! The beans are always amazing as well! read more

We just Love this restaurant!!! From the start the salsa was so delicious fresh sweet taste Chiles and tomatoes were fresh tastings. I always test my New Mexican restaurants by ordering the Chile Rellenos. This was cooked to perfection not drowned in batter but the Chiles were toasted on the skin just right then lightly battered and was my favorite place yet. Thank you Service and pleasant atmosphere. We live in LA so it will have to be our favorite place to look for on our vacations as we go up the coast. Yummm read more

Service Food Drinks Ambiance Price That adds up to five stars!! The place is super cool inside, staff is amazing, drinks strong enough, food amazing. The topper, staff was so friendly and fast. This is a late post, we visited during a concert night on the eve of Rodeo, so think BUSY. It was clearly a high volume night but didn't seem to impact speed or quality. First, table of 6, we all had different things and I took a bite of everything. From the Super Burrito to the wet style burrito, to the relleno, to the torta, oh wow!! The meat quality, HOLY MOLY, I could not get over how good all of the meat types were. I'm not picky, but that doesn't mean everything impresses me, but their meat sure did (wish I had pics). This place is fun, family friendly and a great value!! Do yourself a favor and try them out!! Get meat! LoL have a Paloma, I had 3. read more

Ordered chicken salad. The service was excellent! They went out of their way by giving me sliced avocado on my salad because I'm allergic to cilantro. And even guacamole had cilantro . I really appreciate the extra effort. I was torn between giving a 2 Or 3 rating. My biggest complaint is that you should have at least 50% lettuce or veggies to call it a salad. it's more than 70% refried beans. About 1 1/2 pints of beans. About 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce. The chicken had a good flavor but over cooked. I would return to the restaurant but not for this subpar dish. read more

I'm not one to typically leave reviews but after coming here I have too. My bf and I came here on a Friday evening to support his nephew during poetry night. I ordered the enchiladas rojas with chicken and he ordered sopes de asada. I am aware that most restaurants don't make the traditional from scratch enchilada sauce, but the canned sauce they used was disgusting and not even warm. The tortilla itself had the taste of burnt old oil. I took 2-3 bites and left the whole plate. My bfs sopes were so thick and fried in the same burnt oil. The asada meat was bland, huge pieces of meat they didn't even try cutting it into bite size pieces. He too left both sopes. It was my first and last time coming here. read more

Everyone's food looked really good. 1st hand I will comment that I only ordered a soft corn tortilla fish taco, it was delicious I want to go back for more and my husband enjoyed his Chimichanga The area that I reserved is for bigger parties. I called for a final count and asked what was their max for that area. It is for 28 max I, said great our party is for 25 and 1 high chair. I apologize for the my miss count. We ended up with a party of 31. I greatly appreciate for Taquitos Restaurant making it work and adding the extra sitting. The service was more than adequate. Our server did a wonderful job serving our party. Greatly appreciated Thank you read more

I ordered enchiladas and they were good the price even better very generous amount of meat. michelada was really good overall my family and I enjoyed the food. I won't be so stubborn next time lol read more

This place is bomb ! Authentic Mexican food! The best in town in my opinion. The people are amazing and treat you like one of their own. Excellent food & service! read more

The hallway to the bathrooms smells literally like poop. The ladies room was rancid with the smell that I gagged and had to hold my breath. The chips were not like the used to be and had a weird flavor to them. Two other restaurants in Salinas must buy the same brand. The rice had no flavor, the beans were watery and the cheese on the enchiladas tasted too strongly of cheddar. Not really the best cheese. Disappointed and not going back. read more

Been seeing so much hype about this restaurant on social media, decided to give it it a try again. I used to dine here many years ago then relocated and now returned to the area. Place is dated inside but appears clean and the look adds some charm. The young guy that greeted and seated us was definitely the wrong person to have at front door. Not rude, but not friendly either. After being seated about 10 minutes we were greeted by our waiter. Pleasant but by observing around us - overworked as many places struggle with staffing. We placed our app order of chicken nachos and were pleased - nice portion and very flavorful. We all ordered our entree's. I went with chili verde which won't be my choice in future - High saltiness and tartness of tomatillo, sauce was too thick which in turn made it dry. The beans and rice were good. Other guests with me went with Posole, which looked great. I tasted it and definitely a better option, it was a nice red broth and tender pork with hominy. Guest three went with the chimichanga. Not too bad and was a sizable portion - 1/2 went home. We were never checked on after meals arrived. Overall experience wasn't a wow. I may try it again but consider other options first. read more

I should've taken a pic of our meals, very much appreciated the warm chips & salsa and on perfect beat our meals served, looked as delicious to taste. We were especially impressed and pleased with our service. Two waiters handled the lunch crowd with great work ethic. Everything was up to par. I had to write review - there was not one thing I can say could've been better. Service and meal over exceeds the usual expectations. Great service and a great meal! read more

Just back from another wonderful dinner at Taquitos. Tonight was carne asada platter. Well, I'm not a fan of eating steak at restaurants, being disappointed more than pleased. But I heard theirs was worth ordering. Glad I did. The meat was flavorful, rice and beans complemented it nicely, and the tortillas are homemade. I had a meal that made me happy. Side note: we were in Tahoe and ate at a famous restaurant from Hell and had the beef Wellington. Taquitos steak was more flavorful than that (relatively) tasteless piece of nice looking meat. The place is family friendly, warm, and has good food. Taquitos is affordable too. read more

Updating my review~ for the bar only ~ One coin op bar size pool table. $1.50 per game. Only 5 sticks. Great deal on draft beer. 24 Oz Bud light only $7.00. Nice warm complimentary chips and salsa. Both were good. I like that they have specials during the week. Food and drinks. Nice bartender. read more

The food sucks! It's soo bland and overcooked. Also the tall lady server was terrible! She looked pissed and didn't even greet us. She seemed like she didn't want to work there. She kept dropping the Tabasco bottles with anger. She didn't even smiled. She just took the order and tried leaving as fast to avoid communicating. I didn't tip her for the shitty service she gave. They need to fire her! read more

Nice atmosphere. Not too expensive. Exceptionally nice staff. The food? Oh boy, there's something wrong with the food. I don't know what it is. I was with a group of people, we all had different orders, and all of us thought the food was bad bad. One person in our party took two bites and pushed the plate away. Is the food old? Cooked poorly? Are the recipes faulty? I don't know. Maybe all of the above. I feel bad leaving such a negative review because the staff was so nice. But the food was not good, and even the easy to please people in my group thought so. read more

We were looking for a quick bite to eat in this area, so I pulled out my handy Yelp app and found this place. They were opened for breakfast so it was perfect. I ordered a steak and egg breakfast burrito; it was HUGE for the price!! My hubby had a prawn salad, the prawns were really good. They had a good variety of salsa, too bad our meal didn't come with chips :( Overall the food was good. Great value for the price. Parking is easy. read more
