El Palmar

Cute place very old fashioned looking service was friendly. The food isn't too bad loved the sopa very tender beef. Gives you decent portions for the price very laid back and quiet.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food in Marina this is it! I’ve ordered the carne asada supreme burrito (it’s humengous!easily shareable for two people- they can cut it in half for ya) and the chicken enchiladas to go. The food taste great and the beans are real! (not out of a can like other places I’ve tried). The service is spectacular and they stay open till 9pm (on weekdays at least) so it’s the perfect place to hit up after work. They provide you with chips and salsa even if you order to go- the salsa is spicy but yummy! I’ll be going back soon to dine in since the environment in their restaurant is inviting.

Ya know a place so well, that when you move to a different region in this country, nothing compares to your favorite Mexican Restaurant. This was it, from their Fajitas to the breaded shrimp and above all the steak. I miss this restaurant and the owners. I'm glad to see it's still open. This review comes all the way from Arkansas. GOD Bless.

The best Mexican food in Monterey County. The food and service are always great. Cozy restaurant that keeps you coming back for more.

Have you ever driven by a restaurant for years and just never tried it I'm guilty of that, and this restaurant was impressive. After reading my friends review I had to try it and just look at my pictures. All the food plus dessert was 59$. Are you kidding me, and wow, so good. I got 4 tacos 2 Carne asada 2 pastor so much meat great flavor. These tacos have to be a half pound of meat in each, impressive. Spicy prawns with rice and beans excellent . I also tried chili Verde sopas outstanding flavor everything fresh and tasty,the delicate white corn sopas were outstanding. I got what I thought was a piece of bread pudding ,check out the picture, and they gave me 4 pieces with sauce, delicious. The tortillas are handmade in house so much better than store bought. I gave 4 stars for service because it can take 20 to 30 minutes for food to be prepared. I went at 1pm not busy plus I ordered lots of food .Stop driving by this gem, treat yourself they even have steak and know how to cook it

Hole in the wall mexican spot. Middle of the road for me. Place wasnt packed at 6pm. Food came out quick. Not super bold on flavors.

Had dinner here last night for the first time. The dining area is very inviting and clean, and the service was exceptional. The food is amazing too!
