Ticos is one of several excellent Mexican/American breakfast and lunch places in Marina. Food is good, service is friendly, parking not a problem. Lunch is also good, though the burgers are just average. A popular place, and rightly so.

Wevisited this restaurant for breakfast. It was exceptional. Greeted warmly on arrival. Not a fancy place but very down to earth and has the warmth one feels in a place run by people who care. Steak and eggs --- the steak was outstanding...perfectly done, wonderful flavor. On par with a fancy steakhouse. Pancakes were awesome --- light and fluffy. Seafood... More

Very surprising place!! Wonderful food and service. I did not like the looking and decor at first glance but the breakfast is really good and the service very charming. Eggs and pancakes are awesome. I truly recommend it !! It would be a paradise if they would redecorate it !!

This is a local place that was recommended by the front desk at Sanctuary Beach Resort. Don't be disheartened when you first pull up and walk in. It is a small low key restaurant with a few tables outside on the sidewalk. The breakfast here was delicious and the portions are very generous. They have a list of specials every... More

I have eaten both breakfast and lunch here and I can attest to the fantastic food. I would give the food and service 5 stars and the atmosphere probably 3 stars. Their home made sausage is delicious, their salads are fresh with a wonderful vinaigrette and the homemade marmalade is delicious.

Travelling to Monterey I wanted a place for lunch a bit different than the usual burger place. I checked the websites and found Tico's Restaurant. Our Navigation system took us to 330 Reservation Road but it took a little looking to find the place in the strip mall. Inside it is immaculately clean and fresh with nice tables and decor.... More

We went here on our last morning for breakfast before driving home. It is a small local family-owned restaurant. There are a lot of selections for breakfast. We throughly enoyed our omelets and fruit! The food is made fresh and is delicious! Friendly service. In a strip-type mall with no real atmosphere but good value and food is wonderful! We... More

Not just unusually well prepared food, but very nicely presented. A small attractive restaurant (9 tables) with great breakfasts and lunches. They had just started serving dinners on Fridays and Saturdays.

We were staying in Marina for a few days and ended up going to Tico's twice for breakfast because it was so great. The menu has lots of options plus there are several daily specials. The chef absolutely knows what he is doing, everything freshly made with care and beautifully presented. The eggs benedict were just as good as the... More
