Baja Cantina

Lively Mexican joint

7166 Carmel Valley Road
Monterey and Carmel, CA 93923
United States
+1 831 625 2252

With all the vintage auto memorabilia hanging on the walls of this place, you will think you are back on a racetrack in 1910. Dine on the heated patio, which has a great view of the valley, or have an indoor feast. The place somewhat resembles a gas station, but the margaritas are dynamite and it serves up a wealth of reasonably priced Mexican dishes. There are daily specials and occasional live music out on the patio. The friendly staff attracts a wide-ranging clientele.

Club Jalapeno

Jalapeno jelly and tofu tacos San Carlos Street
(between Fifth and Sixth avenues)
Monterey and Carmel, CA 93923
United States
+1 831 626 1997 Some of the Oaxacan specialties on the menu at this place seem more nouveau than any California Cuisine chef's latest offering. Take, for example, the grilled fresh catch topped with a banana saute. The flavors are new to many diners, but they are traditional to certain regions of Mexico. Less adventurous eaters can stick with enchiladas, tostadas and fajitas. The wine selection is practically nil, but the selection of rare tequilas more than makes up for it. The decor strikes the right note: elegant, but not too stuffy.

El Palomar

Authentic Mexican Seafood 724 Abrego St
Monterey and Carmel, CA 93940
United States
+1 831 372 1032 The menu here is packed full of intriguing coastal specialties from South of the Border. The spacious and tastefully decorated interior with its tiered floors, assures one as to the quality of the food the moment one enters. Seafood is rendered into piquant dishes that can be ordered with confidence and that are served graciously. And there is plenty of chicken, beef, pork and a traditional array of enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and pozole, as well. Nor will vegetarians want for menu options. The bar is well stocked a variety tequilas and Mexican beers, as well as fine, locally grown wines. See website for menu, event calendar and more.

Power Juice and Food Company

Wheat grass cocktails and hummus 173 Crossroads Boulevard
Monterey and Carmel, CA 93923

+1 831 626 6577 This is a great place to grab a quick bite and relax while shopping at the Village. Place your order at the counter after choosing items from a chalkboard menu on the wall. You can eat indoors or at a table on the patio. The menu includes items from burritos to baked potatoes and herbed sandwiches to wheat grass cocktails. In addition, you can order fresh juices, smoothies, steamed rice with bananas, and more. Try a bagel with hummus.
