MELBA’S SOULFOOD KITCHEN - (Near San Bernardino, CA)

Adeline Robinson Bihlmaier Really impressed with their quality of sushi! Each piece was melt-in-your-mouth incredible, and even the rice in the nigiri had amazing flavor. We loved every one of the rolls and each bite called for pause to enjoy it. Staff was friendly and attentive, and the layout and style of the restaurant was great. Definitely coming back here next time Im in town.

Gracie Ceja delicious burritos & sushi. getting the food is kind of confusing at first. (idk about the coffee place because I have not gone there). There is a big line that goes past the restaurants & also some shelves that have food & drinks already. You pay at the cashier at the end of the line. At the burrito place, they make it in front of you like at subway. but there are a few preset options to choose from and then you pick the salsa. the potato korroke burger is so delicious. However, it is pricy.

Sherry This is genuinely one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever been to, and I just adore the communal dining space. They’re most known for their brunchy items, but we were here to try their more traditional dishes. The sauce in the garlic shrimp pasta was to die for, we had to use the cheese toast to mop it up. And the vongole pasta with clams was just perfection, it was SO fresh and delicious. And don’t even get me started on the pizza! I think there was a hint of honey in it? that made it so addicting. And where else can you get a blueberry matcha latte or orange creamsicle matcha with dinner? This spot is such a vibe and the food does not miss. Thanks for reading! ^-^

l r Had a great turkey bacon sandwich & salad. Back porch along river is very cool! Nice staff, kind service. Bike shop in same building. I ate half my sandwich & then decided it was so delicious that I should take a picture and give them a good review.

Pietsch Walter “Wally” Colorful hole in the wall, conveniently located close to 101. Large parking lot with handicap parking in front of the entrance or street parking. Very friendly and helpful staff, warmly greeted. Delicious, authentic food dishes from Hidalgo and Oaxaca. Extensive menu with vegetarian section. Very tasty, big portions, reasonably priced. We got take out (due to late arrival) and returned two days later for dinner. Yummy, highly recommended. Best Mexican food I recall. Apparently a family run business, lots of local patrons. Very busy in the evening, but order was served quickly. Must have restaurant stop when transiting or coming to Salinas!

Josiphina Garcia I order every morning hot oats from this location through DoorDash. Whoever is securing the bags by stapling it from end to end, thank you. I feel so secure opening my food knowing it wasn’t tampered with.
