El Michoacano

Stopped here to have lunch while driving from SF to SB. I was expecting decent Mexican food, but this place was really excellent. We had fish tacos and a shrimp burrito— the shrimp and fish were both perfectly grilled & the salsas were fantastic. Probably just as well I don’t live close by — I’d eat here every chance I could!

Amazing, delicious molcajete mar y terra! This dish was LEGIT and large enough for 2 to share. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the chicken and steak were moist and delicious, the fried cheese and cactus were perfect. Service was great and the atmosphere was upbeat, clean and fun!! Can't say enough good things!! Worth the stop!!

On recommendation from Honda dealership a couple of years back and never looked back. The molcajete was to die for and has been my favorite ever since. Price is fair as the plate is enough for two persons. If you're lucky enough you can get treated to live music from norteño banda that show up from time to time. Fast and friendly service. Restrooms could use a bit of love but overall it's a great place to eat. Definitely a must when I'm in Salinas.

Food is okay, good portions but bland sometimes. I've eaten here a few times too try different dishes. A little overpriced for average Mexican food. Expect to pay around $30pp. Music can get very very very loud with their jukebox.

I ordered 10 tacos with everything, they gave me 8 tacos with everything & one taco with just the meat (one tortilla with nothing). While i wash counting my money i heard one of the guys tell the woman attending me "wash dishes" and they laughed about it. I went in and explained the problem and the 4 women working there just laughed at me, when confronting the women simply hide until they called her to the front with me. I don't know what was so funny so I probably caused a scene but like I told them I'm a paying customer. This place is overpriced $38.24 for 10 tacos or should i say 8 tacos plus a plain tortilla and plain taco i didnt ask for. I wouldn't complain if they would've simply acknowledged their wrong doing, not one sorry did i ever receive. The men working there gave me 3 tacos
