Having been in California for several years, Ive gotten used to good Mexican food. This restaurant was a reminder of how truly mediocre someone can make a burrito. While the service was nice, it doesnt make up for the fact that the Char-Broil steak burrito was the physical manifestation of the concept of bland. I would say this food is of a quality you would expect in an overly large cafeteria rather than in a restaurant. It does the job if youre starving but isnt somewhere you want to go for a night out.

Stopped here after a long hike in Pinnacles National Park for a late lunch on a Wednesday. Chips and salsa were good and served almost immediately after we sat down which is great when youre hungry. Drinks came really quickly too. Same benefit. We tried the red chili enchiladas which were good. Their red sauce is very new Mexico legit but with zero heat. Coke served in bottles with cane sugar as expected. Beans and rice were good. Very solid overall nothing to complain about. Great option in a good and safe area.

Some of the best tacos youll find in Monterey county. They have their own unique take on a taco but its totally worth doing. Try the blackened shrimp!

This is the best place for Mexican and American food. I order for them about every day on DoorDash. Thank you very much I’ve been very pleased with all Michael’s Grill’s and Taqueria.

Another of those hole-in-the-wall restaurants, I can think of few places with the quality of food at such reasonable prices. Anything they make with blackened shrimp. Is especially good, again at a more-than-reasonable price. Located not too far from the Amtrack / Greyhound station, its well worth a visit.

Appetizing is everything we find appealing, mouth-watering, delectable, savory, delicious, palatable, inviting, tantalizing, toothsome, luscious, tempting, tasty, enticing... all in this one plate of food! My first visit and definitely not my last!! Reasonably priced, friendly staff and cooks that make Michaels Grill and Cantina feel as if you had a home cooked meal.

Good food, abundant portions at a great price, fast service. Order incorrect as chicken instead of shrimp, and sugar soda instead of diet. Parking available a block away.

I have seen all 5 *s to this delicious and tiny spot in Salinas. It appears to be nothing changed much. We visited this place in 2017 Dec on our way to LA. Remember this taqueria and Salinas always. My original review 👇Truly authentic Mexican ... On the main road of Salina,CA. Order 1 Burrito and a Fajitas.... to taste all items. .. Blackened shrimps and chicken combi neatly rolled in soft tortilla with the gravy... all are mouth watering. Served in traditional way. Staff is nice. Price reasonable.

45min+ wait for tacos, 20min wait for 1 horchata and a double shot that was more like a single. Ppl with phone orders took priority over walk-ins and dine ins. The tacos were nothing special, tried it out due to its proximity and amount of traffic. Michaels needs more workers or a hells kitchen visit.

1$ taco Tuesday is amazing. Lots of meat options. Service is great. Social distancing is setup with outside seating.
