We shared the plantain croquettes. My friend had the ginger mescalini while I had the Oaxacan cooler. She had the magic mushroom dish. I had the huitlacoche enchiladas. I had the bread pudding. My friend had the chocolate mousse cake. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was great, and the service was excellent.

Why doesn't this place have a Michelin Star? The food is exquisite. Complex and sophisticated. A real hidden gem. Definitely worth trying if you ever pass through Moss Landing.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Haute Enchilada Cafe, Social Club, and Gallery in Moss Landing, CA, and it was truly a delightful experience -- a wonderful getaway dining destination. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in its unique and lovely atmosphere. The Haute Enchilada not only offers delicious food but also serves as a social hub and gallery, making it a must-visit destination. The totally delicious food was complemented by the beautiful restful garden sanctuary patios, offering a serene setting to enjoy a meal. The colorful dining room is also lovely if you’d like to dine indoors. The menu features a diverse selection of Latin American-themed dishes, each bursting with flavor and color. We both ordered and enjoyed the Two Haute Chicken Enchiladas al Mole – a tantalizing combination of house-made mole poblano, jack, cheddar, greens, tomato, avocado scoop, garnished with onion, cilantro, and sour cream. Diners can also choose carnitas pork, braised beef, roasted veggies, or cheese if preferred. Incredible mole sauce! The dish also included of black beans, Spanish rice, or quinoa and we enjoyed the black beans and Spanish rice. The Peruvian empanadas were another standout dish, with their vibrant colors and bold flavors. Stuffed with squash blossoms, zucchini, and cotija cheese, and accompanied by a zesty chile de arbol aioli, they were a true culinary delight. We also indulged in the shrimp enchiladas, which were filled with flavorful shrimp and other veggies, adding a delightful twist to the meal. The staff was professional and helpful and the owner, Kim, is a delight! One additional charming aspect of our dining experience was Quinto, the 4-pawed greeter—an elegant, gentle large steel gray poodle who visited our table simply to be sure we were enjoying our meal. His presence added to the warm and inviting atmosphere of The Haute Enchilada. In addition to the colorful dishes on the menu, The Haute Enchilada also features an art gallery, showcasing the work of local, regional and international artists. filled with beautiful handmade jewelry, gorgeous dishes, unique leather purses, blankets, crafts and much more. Moss Landing, where The Haute Enchilada is situated, is a charming area filled with nature's wonders. It's a popular spot for antiquing, surfing, and nature watching. Located at the mouth of Elkhorn Slough, one of California's largest wetland areas and home to hundreds of species, Moss Landing offers a tranquil escape from city life. Overall, our experience at The Haute Enchilada was nothing short of fantastic and is an incredible experience! It truly provides a wonderful getaway feeling when going with family or friends. Whether you're looking for a casual meal, a social gathering, an air bnb getaway (there are 5 cottages here), or an artistic experience when shopping and enjoying their beautiful gallery, The Haute Enchilada delivers. We can't wait to return soon and explore more of what this unique establishment and Moss Landing have to offer. Very highly recommended!

Food and service were both amazing. This lovely older couple paid for our table (hearing that we were women in tech) which was the most genuine gesture of kindness ever, coming here made our day!

Whst makes Haute Enchilada Cafe special is the atmosphere, it is eclectic and relaxing. Almost every table offers some level of seclusion and privacy provided by the succulents and tropical greenery that has created natural walls or screens. The food is yummy, first time I've had an enchilada topped with mole sauce, different but tasty. The menu offers other Latin dishes with a twist. I highly recommend ordering the haute margarita, enjoy it while taking in the gardens. The service is excellent, on our visit it wad busy but we never had to wait for iur drinks and meals. If you're in the area, it is a bit off the beaten path, but worth the drive.

A Flavorful Adventure at Haute Enchilada Cafe! 🦀🌿 Discovering Haute Enchilada Cafe in Moss Landing was like stumbling upon a hidden gem. The first thing that hits you is the enchanting garden setting. You find yourself surrounded by local coastal plants, creating a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements your meal. And speaking of meals, this place is a testament to Latin seafood flair at its finest. The freshness of the ingredients is undeniable. Everything is locally sourced and organic, a commitment that you can taste in every bite. From the expertly crafted cocktails, to the appetizers, and onto the main course, we were consistently amazed by the depth and balance of flavors. The roasted poblano soup was a particular favorite of mine - it had a rich, smoky flavor that was simply divine. My son was completely taken with his sand dabs, declaring them the best he's ever had! The Haute Enchilada Cafe is truly a unique dining experience, where the enchantment of the setting is matched only by the quality and creativity of the food. If you find yourself in Moss Landing, do yourself a favor and indulge in a meal here. We're already planning our next visit!

Excellent. All around excellent. Save us a seat because we're going back. And try anything. Open yourself up to the zen of dining. And thank you Kinta for being such a wonderful ambassador of the Haute Enchilada Social Club. He's soooo soft and cuddly.

Amazing Gourmand find - literally a secret container garden in the middle of a Marina. Unexpected joy! Choose from a broad menu, roughly influenced by the flavors of Mexico. I had an excellent Mole sauce that paired very well with the Mexcal Marguerita. Get in your car and drive to Moss Landing and enjoy! #dogfriendly

One of the best new Mexican fusion restaurants I have visited. The patio garden setting is magical with gorgeous plants (mostly succulents) and flowers and antique artifacts (like a wooden cart with wooden wheels)
