Tacos y Tortas

This place smells like heaven. It's small and no frills, perfect for a quick bite. I ordered a Super Burrito with carne asada, it came out with ground beef but that's fine as I was well seasoned. My companion had chimichanga and it looked perfect. Added a horchata to balance that nicely spicy house salsa.

Carne asada fries were excellent. I'm usually not one to like nacho cheese on my fries, shredded is preferred, but here they do it right💯 definitely recommend to anyone looking for Mexican food it's hard to find good Mexican food up here

We came across this gem of a Mexican restaurant as we were looking for a lunch spot in Soledad. The service is super warm and friendly. The food is superb - we ordered the Tilapia fish and Corn quesadillas with carne asada and both were delicious and generous. They also offered free nachos and salsa. Everything tasted homemade. We left with a full tummy and half of our orders to go. Will definitely visit again the next time we are around the area.

We stopped by to eat after a hike at Pinnacles national park. It was perfect—the food was delicious, the atmosphere laid-back and chill, and the service was efficient. The food took a while to prepare but that was okay because it was made to order. They brought out my almost 2 year old daughter’s plate first, so she didn’t have to wait as long. That level of attention to detail is what made this restaurant even more memorable.

Feels like going to visit your Mexican aunt's house. Incredible food in a cute little house.

Great authentic Mexican food! Everything was a very reasonable price, and it all tasted amazing. Each dish was cooked and seasoned well, though the portions were huge though, so we couldn’t finish our food.

Amazing place! This is a restaurant where you can feel like home. Food is very authentic and veeeeeery tasty. Portions are generous and the host, Carla is a cherry on top. My glasses got a bit damaged and needed a quick fix. I tried to find a super glue in the store nearby but couldn't get it there, so I gave it a chance and asked Carla if she had any glue and if it wasn't a problem, if I could use a drop of it. She searched every inch of the restaurant and at the end, sent someone to buy it for me, without me even realizing. She did not want to accept any payment for that glue and gave it to me in case I would still need it later. That was so, so kind... Thank you for a delicious lunch and your kindness Carla and for anyone who's reading this comment - do not hesitate. Just get in and have something delicious ❤️

Amazing Mexican food! Came here after a long day of hiking at Pinnacles Natl Park and it was perfect. Friendly and fast service and great pricing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Free chips and salsa as well! Loved the fajitas and guacamole.

A gem of a place we came across on our way to Santa Cruz. Great service and Ambiance. Delicious food! Everything from the tortillas to pickles are freshly and deliciously made. The price is very reasonable. Glad we were able to eat there. They make their soups fresh order by order so it will take 25 minutes. Too bad we were in a rush to get back on the road. I know it would have been yummy!

My husband and I stopped here for a late lunch after visiting Pinnacles National Park and we cannot wait to come back! I had the fish tacos and my husband had the carne asada and both were to die for. We loved the atmosphere, the service was incredible and the salsa was spicy and delicious!

Exceptional and friendly service! The food is really tasty — 100% recommended. The atmosphere is welcoming, with the option of patio dining. Plus, the place is wheelchair accessible.

We have a 2-year-old son and the front desk lady just sent us a small plate of rice and bean to him when we just got our seat! Their food are fresh and tasty, so I hope you can come to have a nice meal here. My husband told me he will always remember this restaurant. What a great Mexican restaurant:)

We stopped here on our way back to Bay Area during our roadtrip. It's a small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seatings and a small bar. We went on Sunday afternoon (around 1pm) and was seated immediately. We ordered fried tilapia, pambasos with beef, and guacamole. The free salsa was delicious and good amount of spiciness - perfect compliment to the crispy chips. The lady who took our order was kind enough to play Cocomelon to entertain for my kid. It took quite some times to get our food but we didn't mind because everything tasted fresh & good! The portions were big for the price. My hubby got the fried tilapia. The fish was crispy and cooked perfectly. He liked the beans and said it was flavorful. He was super stuffed and had to take home half of it. I never had pambasos before so I didn't really know what to expect. My pambasos was huge and filled with lots of filling. The bread was actually dipped in sauce and then grilled which made it super flavorful! The beef inside was chopped into small pieces and yet so flavorful (and had a hint of smokiness). The sour cream brought brightness to the dish. I was also stuffed and had to brought half home. The guacamole was good and fresh. Overall, it tasted authentic and a good restaurant when you're in the area.

If your looking for authentic Mexican food and great service Cocuyos is a must go to. I have always had a great meal here. Yesterday I had the deep fried tilapia. It was delicious and so moist the fish fell off the bone. Usually, with fish I need to add sauces or lots of lemon but not in this case it was delicious without all those condiments. Plus, the corn tortillas taste like home made.

The food is always fresh and delicious and good dining atmosphere. Very generous portions. Called for a phone order for the first time the other day and no one was picking up then finally someone did and they hung up on me, called again and no one picked up. Eventually got someone and they said 10-15 mins, it was quick and yummy so no complaints.

This was the best asada plate I’ve ever ordered. The small side of french fries that comes with the plate was such a genius idea. Both types of salsa we had were so good, a little spicy if you are sensitive to spice. And the corn tortillas were nice and thick. We will absolutely be going back next time we are there.

Amazing homely Mexican food. The fish tacos were fresh and the cabbages were awesome. Great service and cute looking place.

Portions were huge enough. Fell in love with Horchata drink. Busy day with crowd so have to wait for some time to get fresh food.

Food was good. Authentic and organic feel. Great service and the waitress checked the table and took good care. Veggie fajita is their signature and tostadas was good too. A good visit. Will visit again on way to Monterey to Big Sur.

Finally stopped in to see what all the 5 star rating were all about . 4 pm Tuesday place was empty. I was the only customer, so I sat down and was greeted by Alice she said she would be my server and the cook. OK, she did not speak English, and I know a few words in Spanish, no big deal. First chips and salsa tiny bowl average at best cold unsalted chips. 2 tacos arrived carnitas and Carne asada. Homemade tortillas 3.25 reasonable flavor again average nothing special. Shrimp enchiladas main corse again nothing special Shrimp had no seasonings red sauce very spicy and only on the tortillas loaded up with lots of fresh lettuce onions and cheese. It looks impressive but lacking flavor dry and just spicy .I had to ask for guacamole and again tiny bowl and just average. I left full but underwhelmed, I wanted to give 5 stars, but honestly, I couldn't do it. The best thing about this place is the prices are very reasonable however the food did not live up to the hype.

Nice selection of breakfast 🥣 and lunch dishes, tried the Pambaso (well decorated) and Sopes, both were pretty good. Salsa had a small kick to it. Prices were reasonable. Service was good, food arrived very quickly after ordering. Parking on street was fine.

Good food, lots of vegetarian options, friendly service. I think there is just one person in the front and on in the back so it can be a little slow. Front porch smells a bit.
