La Enchilada Restaurant Gonzales Reviews
We were headed north on 101 to catch our flight out of SFO. A Google search for lunch along the way led us here. No disappointments! The people were very friendly and the food was super fresh and delicious. I had the shrimp fajitas and my husband had the chicken fajitas. Generous portions and fresh tortillas rounded out a fabulous meal. It's a small place, but don't let that fool you. It is big on flavor!
Finally tried this place for takeout & was thrilled with everything! Enchiladas were epic, beans & rice amazing, people & value were great. I’d give 7 stars if I could.
The aqua chile best in my life !! Huevos rancheros were a work of art!! And order the bacon.
The The was so great that's wat I ordered and it was great service I very much enjoyed them wat a bless day I had at la enchilada restaurant great customer service my name is Eddie bka Success I'm from Houston tx I'm a truck driver I'm so glad I had a pick over here in Gonzales CA thank y'all so much wat a great meal
Mother and daughter pair crank out amazing authentic food. Homemade tortillas, moles, birria de chivos on Sundays. This is our goto spot in Gonzales. Plan on hanging out a bit. This isn’t a fast food joint. Alondra is cranking in the kitchen doing it for reals.
I ordered the absolute BEST, most authentic birria de chivo and was served hand made tortillas and fresh salsa that I have ever had! Hands down best place in Monterey County! Place is a little small but ppL were being served in & out the entire time. Service was amazing. Definitely our new spot!
Best Mexican food in GONZALES!!!
¡Que rico! José and the team are so sweet, and the food was delicious. My 3 y/o picky eater devoured their a mushroom quesadilla, rice, and beans. Rest of the family had tacos, enchiladas, tostada, and chilaquiles. Stopped here on the way outta town and the customers and team alike gave kind family vibes. We'll certainly be back another time!
Best food I have during my stay in the US. The lady is very friendly and smiling anytime. Very cheap price for the great quality of food. The place isn't very fancy but contributes to the authentic experience
Hard working staff making authentic recipes, food hot and fresh, amazing home made salsas and tortillas, the real jalisco taste
Amazing people and made these chilaquelles to my liking, really good
AMAZING food. I drove 50min just to get my hands on a Torta Ahogada! The chef is very nice and was great to chat with. Reasonable pricing, amazing customer service, and delicious food! I will definitely be back!

Brought my family here from a friend's recommendation. Tried the goat birria, burrito, tacos and mixed molcajete plate. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants on this side of the state. The place is small but the food is delicious. We ate so fast that there was no time for pictures. Very friendly staff and great service.
An amazing staff who makes amazing food for very reasonable prices. If you ever pass through González or happen to live here, this is the place to be.
Just had a lovely lunch on our way back to Canada from Mexico. Perfect stop if your travelling the 101. Food was amazing. The homemade tortillas are the best we have ever had. And the staff and customers we met inside were so kind and friendly. We will definitely be back.
I had the most incredible dining experience at LA ENCHILADA RESTAURANT! From the moment i walked in, the warm inviting atmosphere, and the smells immediately reminded me of Mexico and authentic Mexican food! The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made me feel at home. Our food served was sooo delicious from beginning to end !! What really sets this restaurant apart is their commitment to authenticity. It's evident in every dish they serve. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine, or even if you're just looking for memorable dishes, I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. Delicious food, great service, and warm environment!
Cozy little spot my partner and I stopped on a road trip. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a few years. I got the carne asada and my partner had the cheese enchiladas. Both were very good, flavorful, and it was clear most things, sauces included, were made lovingly from scratch. Wish we had more spots like this back home
Authentic Mexican Food and atmosphere. Super kind people tbat made our dinning experience special. Thank you Jose!!

We found this little place on our way up north. The owner was super polite and we got to know him and his story. The food was very good. I got chicken enchiladas and my bf got shrimp tostadas. We will definitely return on our future trips.
I walked here from Taylor farms got a burrito it was amazing. Bean and rice was perfect the staff was friendly the food is amazing. Price wasn't to bad ether. It's not a bad walk from the Taylor I will definitely go back when im in town. It was so cute the owners daughter was passed out with her head on a table. Gotta love small towns
Good food, but you must be prepared to wait.

We had the Bistec Ranchero, Mulitas and the Guadalajara, all delicious! The handmade tortillas were amazing. I haven't had Bistec Ranchero since my dad died and this brought back many memories. The building is a bit rundown, but the service was lovely and we would definitely stop by again!
