Kathy's Little Kitchen — Restaurant in Monterey

The first time I visited Kathy's, I tried their chile relleno plate. The two chile rellenos it came with were very small and had little cheese in them, and the sauce it came with was unfortunately mild and bland, as was the rice (honestly maybe the most flavorless spanish rice i've had out many). For the amount of food you get, I would definitely say it's overpriced as well.

I work in the area, and decided to try Kathy's for a second time in hopes that it had just been an off day the first time I went. I tried a standard carne asada (beef) burrito without any rice. The tortilla that the burrito was wrapped in was pretty hard and seemed maybe stale. There were plenty of beans throughout, and very large pieces of carne asada that were very fatty and chewy. Halfway though I almost choked on a long chewy piece of meat and had to use my fingers to pull it out of my throat. I actually took a picture but decided not to post so I don't disgust anyone. I have probably had hundreds of carne asada burritos, and this was for sure one of the worst.

After both visits, I unfortunately don't plan to come back. If you are visiting from out of the area, I would recommend stopping by a number of spots on the peninsula or if you get the chance to definitely look up places in Salinas, some of the best mexican food...

Amazing place to eat. We came as a family for breakfast and I had the Huevos Rancheros, a few ordered the breakfast burritos, and one had the pancakes and eggs and bacon. Make sure you ask for what spice level dishes are served, I like things a little spicier and the Huevos Rancheros was amazing, you can ask for the green sauce if you want it not so spicy. The breakfast burritos were packed with fresh bacon, potatoes and eggs. We sat outside and even though the main road is right there it was pleasant to sit outside in the morning. The staff was so kind and food came out promptly, prices were fair, we will be...

I used to be a regular patron on weekends until I moved out of Monterey County. I decided to pay a visit after some years and let me tell you, their food tastes as good as I can remember. The chiles rellenos are one of their specialties and they never disappoint! Their tacos de chorizo are generous in portion and their aguas frescas are very refreshing. I used to order their menudo almost every weekend back and it was good. I am sure it continues to be as good. Hopefully, I can return more often. I highly recommend checking out this little...
