Villa Azteca - Salinas (CA)

5 /5 Elizabeth Bahn: Amazing mole. I enjoyed the spice. The shrimp and filet mignon were fantastic and flavorful. Best mole amarillo ever.

5 /5 Nicholas Olivares: Wow. Came here for a first date and they made it a very pleasant evening for my date and I. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was peaceful with a romantic vibe, and the food was amazing. My date couldn’t decide because everything looked so good. She had a filet mignon with mole sauce and shrimp and since she couldn’t decide between that and the lobster enchiladas I got that so we could share. Boy oh boy they were both amazing but the lobster enchiladas were especially amazing. The sauce was full of flavor and wasn’t too spicy. Definitely going back to this place again!

4 /5 Kristin Green: This place is fantastic, fresh and home made. I got the beer battered shrimp tacos and they were great. Handmade corn tortillas, too. They were a bit spicy but the nachos with the fresh corn was amazing. The staff are friendly and just kind and attentive. A great experience overall.

3 /5 Gabby Gonzalez: Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We waited a while in the doorway until we were greeted & seated, waited about 10mins to get our order taken, & another 30 for the food to arrive; It didn’t seem that busy. When the food finally came it was in a sizzling bowl with a delicious boiling salsa yummy meat, seafood, cheese, avocado, & scallions. Tortillas were delicious & hand made, but be careful because only 2 came with that huge molcajete, which is enough food for 2 people. We asked for more tortillas, which we never received & were charged $6 for them. The prices here were outrageous for what it was honestly. But food was good, regardless. Though service could really improve.

The dishes are so flavorful, they do a great job at cooking familiar dishes with unique tastes. The presentation of the dishes is also very beautiful and creatice. They have delicious drinks (alcoholic and non-alc) too!! I can’t wait to come back ☺️
