    Chicharones appetizer, super delicious (drained fat, & crispy)
    Ssfnative R.

    Delectable food, great presentation, & hospitable service! Will definitely come back again once we get back in the neighborhood.

    My boyfriend and I stopped by to get food and we found this place. The place was nice and clean and customer service was good. We had chilaquiles verdes with carnitas and the purepecha tacos. Food was delicious. If you're in the area, stop by.

    The staff was friendly and patient with my bf and I, as it took us a while to decide what to get. We ended up with the family pack of 4lbs mixed, chicharron and guac. The guac wasn't really like the picture, it was a thinner consistency than all mashed avocado. We ordered a large, but the container it came in seemed smaller and it was different than that on display. The chicharron was hot and fresh. I thought the rice and beans could use a little salt, but no biggie. I ordered extra curtido which was picked onions. It didn't have much flavor. The red salsa had a bitter flavor. The green salsa was ok. The carnitas itself was good. I liked the buche. It wasn't super oily. The finding area was cute and I liked the hanging decorations. It was clean, too.

    Family decided to try this restaurant based on good things we heard from friends. Very clean restaurant with excellent service. Son got the California Breakfast burrito, wife got a wet asada Burrito with green sauce (Burrito Ahogado), and I got a pound of three different types of carnita meats (Carnitas por Libra). All the dishes were well liked and VERY filling. My carnitas order came with six handmade tortillas. The carnitas I had were very moist and had a great taste. Overall, I'd rate this as another above average Mexican restaurant in town! They have special cocktail offerings, wine, and bottled beer. Small dining area, so there is only one waitress.

    Yelp didn't steer me wrong, the reviews are legit. The place is adorable, decor is cute. Lovely vibe. Waitress was the nicest and helpful. Food did take a bit of time but came fresh and hot, did not disappoint. We had menudo, flautas, carne asada fries and shrimp tacos. The chicharrones themselves need a review, chefs kiss! If I lived in this area I'd be a regular!

    This review is long overdue, but this is truly our favorite place to eat! Food is delicious and we always love trying something new. What makes it really special are the staff and owner. They are always kind and welcoming when they see us. It feels like we are eating at home with family.

    I always get the carne en su juego and my hubby the carnitas. Today we decided to switch it up and I had the menudo and he had the quessabirrillas. They were both delicious. The have new items on their menu will definitely be back to try the est of the food.

    Absolutely delicious--Carnitas Purepecha is the best I've had so far! I haven't been to the store in person yet, but I've ordered through DoorDash multiple times and it's always spot on. I usually get the family meals and they're loaded with everything you need: soft, tender carnitas, fresh handmade tortillas, flavorful salsas, rice, and beans. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing (or having leftovers). Whether you're treating yourself or feeding the whole crew, this place is a must. Definitely my go-to for carnitas now!

    We are always treated like family , food is always awesome. Very clean bathrooms and dining area , affordable. Customer service is out of this world. Family own business support family own business and very cheap lunch specials the cheapest lunch specials In Turlock you gotta come now. Affordable. In the Walmart shopping center.geerRd

    Carnitas salad bowl to-go.
    Lea V.

    Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance is simple but nice and clean. I loved the cumbia music that was playing. I got the carnitas salad bowl to go and it was delicious! Well balanced, flavorful, and a significant portion that left me happy and full. I had a michelada with Pacifico while I waited. The michelada was simple but good. Came in a large glass with a shrimp, and slice of Orange and chamoy over the top. I was also offered free chips and salsa which I gladly accepted. Great for a quick lunch meal and the carnitas are delicious.

    If disappointment had a flavor, it would be the fajitas at El Charro…read more I ordered fajitas expecting that classic sizzling, seasoned, mouthwatering experience. What I got instead was what I can only describe as lightly warmed, paper-thin sadness. The meat was dry, completely unseasoned, and so thin I'm pretty sure it qualified as deli meat. I've had better flavor from airport food... and that's saying something. No sizzle, no aroma, no personality. Just a plate that looked like it gave up halfway through cooking. Service? Let's just say it matched the food--uninspired and forgettable. The only positive is that this meal actually helped my diet because after a few bites I had zero desire to keep eating. So technically... thanks for that? Would I come back? Only if I needed a reminder of what fajitas are not supposed to be. 0/10 for flavor 10/10 for reinforcing my self-control

    What a great find in Turlock! I've never been here.. but based on the handy dandy reviews on…read moreYelp... well, gave it a try. We were greeted immediately. cute inside with a full bar. a few beer handles too! even an IPA was flowing. it was packed. We were immediately served the warmest crispiest nice & salty chips! And the salsa... loved the salsa! I ordered the 1 item with beans and rice. $15.50. Cheese enchilada w/red sauce. The green sauce has pork in it:( our server was friendly and knowledgeable about menu. my friend ordered the carne asada tacos. I enjoyed my dinner. I would not rate the red sauce as my favorite. But it was good. I will definitely go back. also they have about 4 big screen TVs playing. Plenty of parking in back. I can't wait for warmer days as they have a cute little patio in front.

    Came here to celebrate a graduate - on of course, graduation weekend. Considering how busy it was,…read morethe wait wasn't too bad. We had a party of 10+. Chips and dips were given upon being seated, drink orders taken, and were received fairly quickly. The chips themselves were delicious & so were the bean dips and salsa. For my entree, I ordered probably the most bland-sounding thing I have ever ordered. I ordered Dos Huevo's w/ Carne Asada. My plate was great! Carne asada cooked & flavored well & the eggs were also perfect. The rice it came with was decent, nothing crazy. I will say, oddly enough, on that warm day, I got a hot coffee to drink. The coffee was really good! I pretty much inhaled it, twice! Overall the place is nice, attentive, and good food!

    I have seen so much traffic in and out for quite some time, so had this place on my "try it" list…read more The exterior looks nice, the lobby is pretty tasteful. So here are the pros: Service was good, chips, salsa and bean dip came out pretty quick. The bean dip is really good. The salsa is a little spicy and they don't have a milder option for spice intolerant folks like my wife. I enjoyed the salsa, she didn't. We ordered 2 chicken items, Garlic Chicken and diabla chicken. Both essentially the same item but with different sauces. The Garlic chicken was good for a bit, and then became pretty overpowering. The sauce is a butter sauce, that would probably be great on some pasta. The Diabla chicken was anything but spicy. The red sauce it was in was about as spicy as milk. The pickled jalapeño slices served on the plate were extremely spicy in comparison and they didn't have much heat to them. The service was much better than the food. I'm really surprised they have the amount of traffic they do with the food as lacking as it is. Might be the bar is where the draw is.
