El Michoacano — Restaurant in Salinas

Look, I am going to tell you my opinion in two parts. Food then non-food review. The food was 100% authentic with thick hand made corn tortillas (my choice rather than flour). The chips were warmed and salsa was delicious. I had a molcajete (Mar y tierra) which is a hot basalt bowl containing a menagerie of cheese, meats, and veggies. You have quesadilla, grilled nopal or cactus, green onion, chicken, shrimp, beef and more. I also had huevos rancheros. The egg was mixed and on top of a tasty tostada (hard tortilla base) with beans and rice. I didn't take a picture of this because of my momentum while eating I forgot because I was having such a good meal. We had coffee and canned soda with our meals. Now for the non food part of the review. Seating was quick while IHOP and Dennys was packed on a Sunday around 11am. We found easy parking and service was good. We sat near the kitchen so it was nice placement for giving our order and such. I like the intimacy of it and a neighbor asked to share the tapatio hot sauce the tables are so close. It was a great random find and I have friends who confirm their mexican moms come here for the caldos (soup). I'll have a michelada next time which are huge mugs filled with celery, and other classic ingredients. Go where...

I ordered 10 tacos with everything, they gave me 8 tacos with everything & one taco with just the meat (one tortilla with nothing). While i wash counting my money i heard one of the guys tell the woman attending me "wash dishes" and they laughed about it. I went in and explained the problem and the 4 women working there just laughed at me, when confronting the women simply hide until they called her to the front with me. I don't know what was so funny so I probably caused a scene but like I told them I'm a paying customer. This place is overpriced $38.24 for 10 tacos. I wouldn't complain if they would've simply acknowledged their wrong doing. The men working there gave me 3 tacos but I'm not gonna eat it nor will I be coming back...

I had call to make an order once the girl answer the phone she was mad informing me that I would call to make order and never get pick up I inform her my husband would always go and pick up the order and she told me that if I would want to order I would need to go in person and order my food to go. First she was mistaking me and at the end she wants to talk to me all nice I hang up on her. My husband went to made a complain in person and talk to her boss made it seem that it was another waitress if they make it seem that people just order and never pick up their food then they shouldn’t even be open or taking...
