The food was amazing. Good authentic Mexican food. My husband got the tacos "regular with cheese," my daughter got the poke tamales, and I got the nachos. Recommended this spot to anyone who is caving Mexican food. Eat

This has the San Francisco Seal of Approval for Mexican Food ? The steak was particularly delicious, and all the food was very fresh. Definitely a little pricey, but that's sort of to be expected on a street like this.

Delicious as always. Vegetarian burrito and lots of extra pico is my go to. BTW, the refried beans are vegetarian too. ?Vegetarian options: I called and asked about the refried beans and was assured that they were not made with lard. Lots of other options too.

This was so good, literally everything was delicious and perfect. We had the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, steak tacos, cheese tamale and beans and rice. The horchata was also so bomb. Don’t sleep on this spot it’s really it.
This is good food with fresh self serve salsa and chips. Everything is FRESH! The atmosphere is more of a quirky, casual Monterey vibe. If you are looking for an affordable option to bring a group Pap Chano's has you covered. The owner is onsight and takes extra care to provide personal service!

I can only speak to the nachos. Those nachos have been my favorite since I was a kid. The portion is big and the carne asada is the best meat for the nachos. The chip bar is also great - love me a good pico de gallo! The prices have raised but pretty much in line with every other spot.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. The quality has never gone down. So glad to see a local business continue to make it out here. Skip chipotle down the road. Come here and get a Monterey staple instead. The Pico De Gallo / chips are always free and the meats are well seasoned. Don’t skip on this place.
