Our food was on the table within five minutes or our order being placed and we dined on a Friday evening when all tables and the bar was full. I got wet chicken burrito half red and half green sauce with sour cream on the side. The green sauce was significantly better in my opinion. Green sauce was an easy four stars red was a two stars for me. Green has more spice to it! My date got the La Compuesta salad, he loved his. He ate the whole thing which I could not have done. I took half my burrito home. The beans they serve with chips are delicious as you see in others reviews too. The salsa however left a lot to be desired. Price, food portion and service are with highlighting!

OK, listen... If you're going to do Mexican food, please at least get the rice right! It has…read moreabsolutely no flavor! You can tell just by looking at it. And what I've learned in my years is that you should never expect good quality, authentic ethnic food if the main demographic in the restaurant are white people. That's not saying anything bad about white people, but most of us don't know any better! We think Taco Bell is Mexican food and panda express is Chinese food... I had high hopes because the bean dip and chips were really good, but we were terribly disappointed with the nachos... It's definitely not what we were expecting. The portion sizes are ridiculous... But that's kind of what I have come to expect in Americanized Mexican restaurants. Definitely will not be returning... We wish the food was better, because the service was pretty decent.

I learned something today apparently when you order 12oz of chicken you only get 5.25. I called and…read morethey informed me that they weigh the chicken when it is raw and then as it cooks it loses weight. But 50% of its weight? The container was half full. When I have ordered this same item in the past the container is usually full. I don't know what is going on with their kitchen lately but the quality and serving sizes have significantly reduced. I would appreciate transparently with the price. If you're only going to give me 5.25 oz then say it's that not 12oz.

If you don't care, I don't care. I'm not eating here anymore. I'd rather make a bologna sandwich at home. Having eaten at Las Casuelas at least a dozen times, I've gotten the full experience. At best, the food here ever so slightly resembles something truly Mexican. The flavors are muted. The mole, for example, tastes like it was made out of box. It lacks complexity. The beans seem to just sit on hold and have the quality of leftovers. This place is more like Chevys than a real Mexican restaurant. If you want to drink beer, eat salsa, chips, and guacamole then this is the place for you. The service is friendly but that doesn't mean the service can be considered good. Frankly, I don't care if they throw the food at me as long as it tastes good! Just because you serve it with a smile doesn't make it taste any better. The focus seems to be on expediting the food out of the kitchen window instead of considering, "Would I serve this to my mother?" The restaurant doesn't appear to have consistent recipes nor the cooks who are trained and willing to live up to any standard. There is no attention to detail. For the most part, ingredients seem to be thrown together in a sloppy and haphazard way. I've always had to remind the servers to make sure my food comes out hot, please don't overcook the food, can you be sure to bring us some salsa??? This final time, I asked for Chicken Milanese which is essentially a pounded out piece of chicken breast. It's fried chicken. I asked them to please refrain from overcooking it. What arrived was a very, very thin peace a chicken that had been fried to a crisp. It was more of a cracker than poultry at that point. All of the juices and fat had been cooked right out of the chicken breast. Tasteless. If the same chicken had not been pounded down to the thickness of a fingernail, then it would have been harder to murder it in the deep fryer. I let the waiter know and he didn't care. My friend asked for soup without vegetables. Guess what? I spent my dinner watching him conduct soup-surgery, removing the vegetables like he was playing that game, Operation, and dripping broth all over the table in the process. People usually go to restaurants to have the cooks prepare the food for them and, unless you're at a Korean BBQ, most costumers expect the food to arrive at the table, "ready-to-eat". Alright, this is the nail in the coffin. They served me a tomato with the tomato pit in it. Do I need to prep the tomatoes now too? All of you can do better, you just don't.

We…read morewandered in here, and there were a few people sitting down to eat, but it was overall pretty quiet. The littles were asleep in the truck already, so we just ordered 3x carne asada super burritos and a kids quesadilla to go. Service was fast, friendly, and on par with our expectations. The carne asada was way more flavorful and moist than expected, and the burritos were delicious. The kids quesadilla, was just that- plain tortilla and cheese. Two (8 inch?) tortillas and a little bit of cheese melted in the middle. It wasn't much cheese and was surprisingly expensive for what it was, in my opinion. I definitely think this place has some yummy food and the service was good. Overall, I'd recommend Taqueria Ripon if you're in the area.

We were out shopping in Modesto for fathers day weekend and decided to drive a little…read morefurther to support a small business and were impressed with the high rating of this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered the arrachera plate, guacamole shrimp tostada, 3 asada tacos, and a quesabirria. The arrachera was severely overcooked, tough, flavorless, and consisted mostly of fat. It was completely inedible. The shrimp on the tostada also lacked any flavor. In the end, the only items we were able to eat were three plain asada tacos and one quesabirria, yet our bill still came to nearly $90. What made the situation even more frustrating was how it was handled. As soon as we received the arrachera plate, we notified our server that it was inedible. She said she would let the kitchen know, but never returned to follow up. In fact, her entire demeanor changed after that interaction. Throughout the rest of our meal, service was poor and we had to repeatedly flag someone down just to get our tiny glasses of water refilled. After about 45 minutes, a different server finally brought our check. When she read the total, I explained that we had already informed the other server about the issue with the arrachera. She went to speak with the kitchen and returned to tell us there was nothing they could do and that we would still have to pay for the two untouched plates. We were never offered a replacement, an alternative dish, or any attempt to make the situation right. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is about how those mistakes are handled. Being charged full price for food that was untouched because it was inedible, while receiving poor service throughout the meal, left a very bad impression. We will not be returning.

Their menu is fairly extensive and includes all the typical dishes you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. I did find the prices to be a bit higher compared to similar spots, but I don't mind paying more when the quality and flavor justify it. They also offer Taco Tuesdays from 3-9 PM, Thursdays from 4-9 PM, and happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4-8 PM. We ordered the carnitas street tacos and chicken rolled taquitos. Shortly after being seated, our server brought out complimentary chips and salsa. The chips tasted fresh, and the salsa had great flavor. The tacos were enjoyable overall, but unfortunately the taquitos fell short. They had a good crunch, but were pretty bland on their own and needed salsa to add flavor. This probably wouldn't become one of my regular spots, but I'd come back occasionally to try other menu items.

Bean dip: 5/5 -- I could come here just for this! Warm refried beans with crema, queso fresco, and salsa verde.
