Here at La Gran Diabla and loving it! This place has such a cool vibe — from the artwork to the lighting, everything feels on point. The drinks are bomb and full of flavor, definitely some of the best I’ve had in a while. If you’re looking for a spot with great energy and great drinks, La Gran Diabla is a must!

Drinks were larger than I was anticipating but hit the spot. Maybe a little pricey, but worth it for the atmosphere and good food.

La Gran Diabla is a jewel of Mexican cuisine. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere envelops you with a mixture of tradition and modernity that perfectly reflects what you will find on its menu: authentic Mexican cuisine with a creative and contemporary touch. Well-served and exquisite cocktails with variant ingredients that make them unique and different from other restaurants. Without a doubt, La Gran Diabla is a place you will return to again and again.

Amazing food, phenomenal and super attentive staff, great decor, and some really creative and delicious drinks. The Lady Gaga drink was fantastic! I do wish they had more dessert options, but that's only because everything they make is really good.

This place is a little dark atmosphere, but maybe it's supposed be like Diabla logo. Make no mistake, if you're in Salinas (We went one evening for Bingo) than you must stop in for the best unique Tacos ! WOW! Great cocktails, and spicy Tacos with hot salsa. We tried the Diablo Shrimp tacos and my favorite, the Stuffed Poblano Taco. Absolutely delicious!

Came here with my wife on Cinco de Mayo because I wanted to try this Mexican restaurant and have a margarita. So we were seated, and my wife ordered a Sprite soda, and I asked for a margarita, Padron Siver on the rocks with no salt. To my disappointment, they don't have Patron Tequila or any top shelf liquor! WTH? So I asked for a Moscow mule. Nope, no vodka. Strike 2. So I asked for a Coors. Surely, they gotta have Coors. Nope. Strike 3. OMG!! Was ready to just get up and leave this 4.7 star establishment. I settled for a corona. I ordered the Diabla burger, and the wife ordered tacos. I was so disappointed, to say the least, then the food came. The chef saved the 1 star rating. I was ready to give this place. The burger was just freaking amazing, and the wife's order was just as amazing. Even the French fries were better than most. The waitress, Sara, explained to me that they only had a eine and beer license yet, hence the reason for no hard liquior. I believe this place deserves a 2nd chance.

Was so hyped to go to this Restaurant since I had seen it on social media often. The ambiance was great, love the painted murals. Food was great as well as the specialty drinks but disappointed that being a restaurant/ Bar they do not serve Tap/ draft beers! Also we arrived around 2pmish and no other patrons where there and for some reason half of our order was forgotten!!!! Never received our appetizer sushi rolls nor one of our lunch plates. Took about 30min before we got that plate, had to cancel the rolls since they where the appetizers, service was not good. Will not be returning any time soon, and honestly a little over priced!

Food was just ok! Micheledas were good, and the $6 price for them was great. The Service though, really sucked. They really need to work on that

Food is way too expensive. A chicken salad is $24. Even more expensive than Hacienda. Hacienda is nicer, bigger and better food. Ended up only getting drinks. Horchata and Jamaica.

This place is very overstimulating, with the ridiculously loud music and all of the different lights. They had a woman singing non stop with the mic turned all the way up. In all honesty it was like nails on a chalk board and made for an overwhelming dining experience. Food was ok but took forever to come out on a slow day. Also if you're taking kids they do not offer any kids menu or drinks.

Food was a bit pricey but ok. Customer service was the worse the older lady with glasses the one that was seating the guest was seating random couples together even her coworkers looked annoyed. First time here, i won't be coming back, avoid this place. I asked the same lady for some mapkins and she ignored me, servers won't check in with you if you need something they only care about putting as much people inside.

worst bar experience ever. There was live music and even though the band and singers were two feet away, their speakers were blaring louder than I even knew was possible. My waiter and I had to scream into each others ears to communicate. I didn’t even bother trying to talk to my husband bc it was literally impossible. I seriously have no clue how anyone could enjoy getting their eardrums blown out like that. I hated every second of my time there, can’t wait to NEVER come back again.

I didn’t like how I wasn’t allowed to eat here. Sara and I know each other on a personal level and I feel uncomfortable fully supporting a place where I felt attacked socially. I’m going to have to make a personal video as a defense in case they say something about me later, but I have no intention to release this information. This 1 star review is a warning to never attack someone like me again or else I’ll release information of what you said about your partner. There are also stalkers that harassed me and I’m unsure of why Sara had romantic interest in me at all actually; perhaps just as an ego boost…
