Los Grullenses - Salinas (CA)

4 /5 Jessie Johnson: I love the food at Los Grullenses. My go to order is the pastor quesadilla and a large of beans and rice. I can make three meals out of this order. But, if I’m honest, I really make the drive over from Monterey for their green salsa. It is sooo good. The atmosphere isn’t the best so I get my food to go. The constant struggle is the salsa. I’m not quite sure what the deal is. They make you pay for salsa, which I’m grouchy about but it’s my favorite so I’m willing to pay. The order for salsa is literally called “4 salsas” and the menu photo shows 4 tiny containers of salsa. Despite ordering it, I almost never get this in my to-go bag, sometimes it’s 2 or 3 tiny containers but rarely 4. So then I have to ask and I hate having to ask because I am paying for it, it’s part of my order, it shouldn’t be so hard. And I order via DoorDash takeaway so there is no room for a language barrier, it’s as plain as day: 4 salsas. I will continue to go and recommend LG but make sure you check your orders before leaving. Would definitely be 5 star for me if this wasn’t such a consistent issue.

4 /5 Bobbi Black: #1 4 tacos. Food: Meat tender and flavorful. Only downside is the tortillas had no flavor. Service: Spanish only, so was really difficult when they were calling out orders to be picked up. Didnt understand anything and had to go by sight of what I ordered. Atmosphere: nothing special just a hole in the wall place. What I did find amusing though, one wall had religious pictures on it, and across from it the other wall had a wanted poster. All in all 8/10

5 /5 Amy Minnick: Wow, so good! I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla and the flavoring is something Ive never tasted before. Very unique to me and I will be eating here again if Im in the area. Good selection of beer. The staff/owners are very friendly. Its a small building across the street from the Pilot. Thanks for a delicious meal!
