Birrieria Coalcoman — Restaurant in California

You guys are scamming people. The fact that the “acting” manager told me it wasn’t her problem. Was very rude. Lady it is your problem as a manager. It seemed as people got better service than us. Our server had an attitude and dirty look on her face. the service was just awful. It suck’s that your foods so good. I had went here in prior months this year and as the “Enchiladas con cecina” says on the menu and when you order on online that in fact that it does come with rice beans. It also does NOT say on your “new” menus that it does NOT. That fact that I paid 20 bucks excuse me for 4 enchiladas is crazy and you guys are robbing people. My fiancé meal was a birria torta and it came with consume and fries was charged 18.99. She proceeded to tell me that some meals came with rice and beans and some didn’t because it’s a new menu. No matter how you tried to explain it, it didn’t make sense. Also the server never talked to us at all just asking are you good? Also NO one ever informed us that it was a separate charge for rice and beans. That is ridiculous. TO THE OWNER YOURE GOING TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS FOR BEING A CHEAP SKATE. the lady was nice enough to take the charge off. AS YOU SHOULD. Stop scamming people if you’re going to change your menu and take things off and upcharge make sure to do it online as well and for pick up as you are giving people the expectation that they will also be getting rice and beans for that price when In fact that are not. Ripoff. Your food is so yummy but customer...

We came in here for tacos. They have a wide selection from tacos to enchiladas to quesadillas. I wanted to try the sopas because I've never had that before. It was delicious. I also got some crispy tacos those were okay. I had added to order of the chicken tortilla soup. The soup was in a clear broth unlike other places which has a tomato base to the chicken broth. The soup was very nicely made. There was plenty of chicken and crispy tortillas as it's soaked up the soup giving it more flavor. They have other soups depending on the day of the week and I really wanted the posolli which I'm going to have to try and go back.

The service is friendly but there was a slight language barrier because the waitress didn't speak English and I spent a lot of time pointing at the menu which was fine. I actually had to pull up my Google translator cuz I was trying to add soup to my order at she was having a difficult time understanding but it all worked out well and she and I did our best to communicate. I liked that she was making extra effort even though I couldn't understand her to ensure that we got everything that we needed. So service was excellent here.

As we were leaving somebody had ordered that's with this beautiful sauce with tortillas and salsa. I'm going to go back and try that because it smelled great when she walked by. this is definitely a place that locals in the area eat at because everybody came in was comfortable just...

We ended up here after chatting with a Salinas local, who told us despite dozens of taco joints there, she goes up to Castroville to this place.

Easy to see why. Clean, comfortable dining room, friendly and attentive staff, and safe parking.

Handmade tortillas are a benchmark of their menu. Although you have to pay a little extra for them, their perfectly light, fluffy texture is worth it.

We tried quesabirria, asada, pastor, pollo, and cabeza tacos. All were great, especially the cabeza. I don't believe the pastor is trumpo roasted and was spicier than expected but still good.

In general, their dishes highlight the flavor of good meat, instead of burying marginal quality in spices like so many restaurants. If you want to ramp up the heat the house red sauce will certainly get you there, but the tomatillo sauce has nicer flavor.

Overall, this might not be the most instagrammy spot around, but it is excellent, authentic food in a...
