This place is amazing!!! The food is delicious and flavorful, and I love how it’s packed with fresh veggies too. For a very reasonable affordable price! Our waitress Clara is so kind and attentive! I recommend this place, I guarantee you’d love it! I love the water too, they infuse it with strawberries, blueberries, cucumber, lemon, orange, and mint, very tasty! I also posted a picture of my husband’s huevos rancheros, very colorful with the veggies they added. He ate the whole thing, practically licking the plate

If you're looking for great portion sizes, this is the place for you! We tried 2 different burritos and then split them and they were both so good! There was enough food that I enjoyed another meal the next day.

Burrito King is a hidden gem located just off Main St. In downtown Salinas. I'm so happy to have found it this morning while looking for a place to get a bite to eat. And I might have walked right past had it not been for the sign on Main to advertise for the restaurant down the walkway. I ordered the breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes and cheese and it was both delicious and filling. I also brought horchata back to the office for my office manager. She loves it. Note: I got in and out with my to-go order in about 5 minutes at 11am.

We absolutely love this place! We always stop here for lunch on our way down to Monterey or Pismo Beach. We travel with dogs and babies and they always accommodate! In addition, their food is absolutely delicious and the service is wonderful! If you are in the mood for delicious Mexican food, we highly recommend!

This hidden gem is definitely a must for those who love traditional Mexican food. This restaurant is in Salinas Ca, tucked away in between 2 buildings and a quick walk down the hallway. You will arrive at your destination once you smell the food and see the smiling faces. I ordered the Breakfast Green Chilie Chilaquiles. It comes with the chilaquiles,beans, 2 eggs any way you like, and 2 homemade corn tortillas. The flavors are amazing, beans are fresh, my eggs were perfect over meadium, and chilaquiles were crispy topped with green chilie salsa & queso fresco & crema. This is definitely a locals' favorite and a must tey for anyone driving through Salinas California. I left pictures of other dishes my family ordered. I gave the atmosphere a 4 only because it's a small building inside, about three tables that sit 4 or 5 and a few tables outside.
