La Bahia Mexican Restaurant 675 Lighthouse Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940

"Maybe the tacos are better. Ended up getting the Mar & Tierra plate. The carne asada was ok, kind of thin slices that were unfortunately not fully cut through. The shrimp was decent. The beans were salty but tender. The grilled jalapeno was a great touch and spicy. The rice, just ok although a little dry. Tortillas normal. Chips freshly fried. The service was kind and fast. The atmosphere was casual although a bit empty for lunch. Mission19 Taqueria had a half hour wait for food."

"a great spot! i came in and tried their quesabirria tacos, which were SO good. for $12, you get 4 tacos, the console, and add-ins on the side (onion, cilantro, green onion, sauces). it was delicious and was definitely freshly made! i definitely recommend stopping here if you get the chance; you won’t regret it!"

"Came here for food before going to the aquarium and I'm glad we chose this spot. The food was cheap, but the size was too much to eat in one sitting, so you're really getting a bang for your buck. The restaurant was very clean including the restroom and the waitress was very kind. Next time I'm in town, I know the hidden gem of the town."

"Really good Mexican food their tacos are so tasty. It's one of the best birria places in Monterey County. Next time, I'll try their michelada porque se miran muy buenos!"

"Great place! Great price! Service was amazing! We had a big group and they accommodated us right away! Everyone loved their dish! The red sauce on the wet burrito is very spicy! So if you don’t like spicy food, omit the sauce. I like spicy, but even this was too spicy for me. But it was still super delicious and very huge! The fish inside was the best part and there was a lot of fish! The decor was amazing! Their chips and salsa tastes so fresh! I would buy their salsa, it’s that good! We’ll definitely come back!"
