The Coastal Roots Hospitality Group - including Montrio restaurant at 414 Calle Principal - has designated Monterey County Film Commission as the nonprofit recipient of its Pick It Up - Pay It Forward Program for May and June 2026.

When you order takeout food from Montrio , 10% of your order will automatically be donated to this nonprofit organization which promotes our county to the film industry. (Offer doesn't apply to delivery orders.)

In May and June, if you order takeout from Montrio , Rio Grill , or Tarpy's , 10% of the cost will be donated to the Lighthouse District's own Monterey County Film Commission, a nonprofit organization promoting Monterey County locations, crew, and businesses to the film industry.
