Lopez Taqueria & Liquor

Super yummy! We enjoyed the food after our drive down from Campbell. Service was great. The elderly man who took our order was so nice & friendly. Food was fresh to order. It was my first time having the white beans and it was delicious! I asked what kind it was - and he happily told me about the Peruano bean. We were with our 2 young kids and they were able to accomodate our request of plain shrimp & fish taco. The camarones diablo was too spicy for me but the hubby enjoyed it. Definitely a no frills place but the food was worth the visit. Will definitely come by again the next time we’re in town.

The best place to get tacos from and enjoy them on the beach! So glad we found this place. Some of the best tacos we ever had!

Best tacos we ever had.

Great service and great food! Skip the touristy areas and get some real food!

It's a very good counter deli. The grandma cooks up amazing carnitas and hand rolls each burrito with care. All of the ingredients seem really fresh and the beans and rice are amazing.

$12 super burrito pretty good. Definitely filling. Had better but definitely not the worst it was pretty good 8.5/10. The people who work there are SUPER nice and the girl behind the counter is gorgeous 😁. I definitely recommend

We stop by there to pick up some Beverages But man manny hooked is up with this Spicy Margarita package That made my drink experience and Experience Go check him out

This place rocks, little spots like this are always the best spot for authentic, delicious food

I've lived in Monterey my entire life and this is my go to spot. Grab yourself a few tall cans and a carne asada torta with some salsa verde, all for less than 15 bucks. Best prices in the area, great, chill, no frills watering hole.

Probably the best and most authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. I got the chicken tacos, the food was prepared by the cashier’s grandma and it’s as close to a really good home-cooked meal as you can get without actually going to a Mexican household. I really recommend it!

Restaurant hours are not standardized (maybe this is typical of small town businesses?) and they don’t always answer the phone which can be annoying.

Best quesadillas and chili verde in all of Monterey and I’ve def tried them all at least once in the 5yrs I’ve been here.

They got some good breakfast burritos,worth the price 😋,as well as Taco's ,the food is prepared like it's homemade ,quick service ,friendly staff

We went into the restaurant/store at 8:30pm. The older woman behind the counter, went and made us six of the best tacos we have ever had. We had the pescado, carnitas and carne asada. They were all worth getting and delicious. Highly recommend this place. It is a hidden gem.

Great food here, we ordered burritos (asada and carnitas) they were very tasty and a good size, we also ordered asada tacos with just meat for the kids and they liked their food. I recommend going here if you're craving Mexican food and want to stay near the wharf.

Such care and attention to details were put into making the delicious burritos and tacos I had. Birria tacos made me feel like I was eating something my grandmother lovingly prepared for me, with amazing salsa verde and just the right amount of red onions. A hidden gem.

Great takeout, amazing people. So much love for this place. Burritos as big as a baby’s arm, the cheapest smokes in town, and every flavor of Paletas? Perfection. ❤❤❤

This is the best place to eat. The ghetto makes everything better. The burrito was so delicious I felt light headed. It was true Mexican orange rice. Just like I have at home. To top this off the music was loud to sooth everything down.

My favorite convenience store, bodega, burrito place in town. You can get a liter of cola, tacos, burritos, chips. Literally anything you need before or after heading to Del Monte beach or the fisherman’s wharf.
