Instead of bread/butter, Lalla brought a small bucket of house-made potato chips to begin. Good chips, and we asked for more. We both opted for half sandwich with soup for lunch, and both were delighted with the food. My wife's BLT was loaded beyond the ability of the bread to hold it all, so I got to sample crisp bacon as well as canadian bacon from the overflow. My brisket melt was also tasty and the soup was terrific.

I was with a friend on a casual visit to Monterey. We ate lunch here. Now, it was perfect for what we were looking for...good food, good price, casual atmosphere. We couldn't finish our food, the portions were big. Now, I would have been disappointed in the ambiance, had I come here for dinner with my husband. This restaurant was coming up as #2 in Monterey for Mexican food. Again, for our purposes, it worked out just fine and I would eat there again but if you are looking for ambiance...I wouldn't rank this high in there regard. Nice people though!

I'm glad I gave this restaurant a try despite a few recent negative reviews on TripAdvisor. Frankly, I don't know what those people were talking about because our visit was great!While the store front is a little hard to find, once you're there the parking is ample and the food good. My family ate dinner for all of $23. We left full (perhaps over full) and happy. The food was good and tasty, and the service prompt. Give it a try.

It feels like you are dining on a big ship. The restaurant has wonderful views to the Monterey Bay. Try the frozen margaritas. And the food was pretty good. Huge portions and well served. Fajitas, tacos, enchiladas... quesadillas. We tried several things... everything was very good. 100% recommendable
