Ordered Super Giant Carne Asada Quesadilla, Flan, and a Corona. Most delicious carne asada quesadilla I’ve had in a very long time. As a chef and traveler, I’ve tried a lot of quesadillas and this one stood out because of the flavors and how they blended harmoniously without any one flavor becoming too dominant. It resulted in a quesadilla that was very flavorful and each bite highlighted a new note in the dish. The salsa wasn’t overpowering like many taquerias, instead I could taste the ingredients in the salsa and it balanced well with the guacamole and steak. I would definitely return again and try other foods on the menu. The staff were all helpful and the place was very clean. The atmosphere was welcoming and had a vibe of modern because of the large open windows yet still an authentic traditional upscale taqueria. Would recommend to my family, friends, and Mexican food lovers
Nice taqueria. Very clean and inviting. My wife and I stopped in to grab a quick bite to eat on our way out of Monterey. I had a lengua burrito and the wife had a asada burrito and both were on point! Lengua was perfectly cooked. They had a nice aqua fresca selection and a great chips and salsa bar as well. Food came out quick too. Would recommend and will be back again. Thanks Las Cazuelas.
Really big breakfast portions for their huevos rancheros and also super nachos. For their nachos, I usually order them with al pastor and it usually sends me into a food coma afterwards, the best kind tho! If you dine in take advantage of their self serve chips and salsa bar. They’re really friendly and give v good customer service. Great local spot for top-notch Mexican food.
This Mexican restaurant was clean, spacious, and had excellent customer service! We ordered the potato tacos, a burrito, and the giant mega quesadilla! Everything was absolutely delicious. We also tried the pineapple agua fresca, which was super refreshing. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!
Friendly service and reasonable prices for a good amount of food! I like the salsa bar I like being able to get my own salsa. The food was very decent its a good choice for mexican food.
Nice place to dine in!! There is a huge bar in case!! Friendly staff. Great environment to enjoy Mexican food. Free salsa and chips.
The mechilada was amazing, I ordered tacos de asada and it came pretty loaded with double tortilla so you can make more out of the three it comes with. The establishment is new and the ambient is pretty inviting. This is my go to mexican resturant during my lunch period before attending lecture. Spent 15$ for my meal.
