An Upbeat Restaurant with a Harbor View.
Specializing in Fresh Seafood from the Monterey Bay

Voted "Best Mexican Restaurant" in readers' polls we invite you to taste some of the best seafood around. The catch of the day is right off the local fishing boats and prepared in the authentic Mexican coastal style. You've never tasted tamales like ours, fresh sweet white corn tamales filled with chicken and topped with our cilantro cream sauce. Oaxacan tamal filled with fresh albacore or chicken, wrapped in a banana leaf and drenched in a rich, dark mole salsa. Check out Tamale Wednesday and try them all. Many to choose from. Served a la carte.

Indulge yourself with a fresh fruit or cucumber Margarita while dining inside or out. Enjoy the harbor view or sit and relax on the patio surrounded by our lush garden. We specialize in a wide variety of Tequila to choose from. If you enjoy live music, be sure to stop in to listen and enjoy our Sunday afternoon jazz and blues next door to The Whole Enchilada at the Moss Landing Inn.. Should you need an event catered no gathering is too large or too small. Choose from our Menu or customize your own. Our Chef Luis Solano is sure to make it splendid! Join us at The Lighthouse Harbor Grill  for Breakfast or Lunch. The Lighthouse is open daily from 6:30am to 4pm. Call for more information 633-3858.

The Whole Enchilada Restaurant is just 15 minutes south of Santa Cruz and 15 minutes north of Monterey, located in the quaint fishing village of Moss Landing. Moss Landing is also home to world reknown antique dealers and shop owners as well as Moss Landing Marine Lab and The Monterey Bay Research Institute. Moss Landing is host to the Annual Antique Fair the last weekend of July. Dealers gather from all over the country for this huge event. We are near the mouth of the Elkhorn Slough, a wetland of natural beauty and delightful wildlife. The Monterey Bay Bird Festival is held in Moss Landing the first weekend in October.
