3 reviews for Alfonso's Authentic Mexican Food
Went here with my girlfriend and her father while passing through Castroville on our way to Monterey, looking for a taqueria. This was the perfect little place.
We got a window seat right away, were served quickly, and the food was pretty good. I ordered a chile relleno dish that was about $6, and it wasn't a blandly flavored one either -- it had its kick! I'd say that tells you how authentic a place's Mexican food is: the chile relleno has to actually be spicy.
In retrospect, I wish I'd also tried something with the artichoke, since that's what Castroville's known for, and we were right across the street from the Giant Artichoke Restaurant. There was even a specials menu at the door as well, advertising things like various fish tacos. Nonetheless, everything I had was top notch and affordable, from the chips & salsa onward. Worth a second visit.
Kinda expensive but the artichoke enchiladas are da bomb!!!!!!!!!!!
Mmmm, artichoke enchiladas. Alfonso's Authentic Mexican Food is right off the freeway, and possibly the best artichoke-involved Mexican food I have ever had, complete with authentic super-depressing strip mall surroundings. Perfect pit-stop when you're stuck in traffic coming back from Big Sur or Monterey.
