    Drink menu 9/5/2025
    Rob M.

    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 heard about this spot and finally decided to check it out. They did not disappoint. The food, drinks and service was amazing.

    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!

    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.

    Carnitas salad bowl to-go.

    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.

    I came here on a Friday night, I arrived about 6 PM. It was just me, so I offered to sit at the bar…read moreas it was full service. When I got there, there were still some empty open tables, however, as I was leaving, it seems like they're just about all filled up. I got the Mr. milkman cocktail and it was pretty tasty, although I did notice how it appeared, as if there were a lot of wines and other beverages that they were out of. Even with my cocktail, they had to substitute the base with soda water, although it was still tasty. There was probably about 7 to 8 wines/sakes that were crossed out on the menu. Food came out fast, and the service was decent on that chefs end. I got the Korean Stone bowl dish, and It was pretty tasty, although fairly expensive for what it was... rice, veggies, and a little bit of beef, but I do like the concept of having a hot bowl that progressively warms up the rest of the food inside. I really do wish there was more meat inside for the price, I feel like only two or three bites had beef. One thing that I really noticed (and I think I noticed even more because I was sitting at the bar) was how servers and the bartenders spent a lot more time conversing with their friends (who were sitting at the bar) then checking in on some of the other people. Someone did approach me to put in my drink order, but I flagged down the server to put all my other food orders in. I don't think anybody came and asked how my meal was either. I do enjoy the overall ambience of the place, dim mood lighting, a minimalist esthetic, and a bar that really nicely displays some of their high end liquors.

The food was always top notch! After the first ownership change, it seemed to have lost it's value a bit. I went last year and I'm not sure who was the owner at that time, but it seemed to be back up to par. A few weeks ago, some girlfriends and myself stopped by for dinner and drinks. My friend wanted an indigeny and we were told they were out and that the menu was most likely inaccurate regarding beers, due to how often they change them. She wanted a cider and was told dustbowl strawberry margarita is a cider. It is in fact a seltzer and not what she wanted. I asked for a mango mojito and was told they were out of mint. I'd decided to order anyway and when the drink arrived, it was not flavored at all. I asked if it was mango and he said no and went to change it, saying the bartender got mixed up. While it was better as mango, a mojito needs mint. One of my friends ordered fries and what came to the table was not what we would consider fries. It was slices of potato and I didn't find it to have much seasoning. Another friend ordered arancini and an artichoke, while the last friend ordered arancini with tomato sauce on the side. Her arancini arrived with the tomato sauce on the bowl and not on side as requested and the waiter took it back to fix it. The artichoke was not cleaned, leaving the choke (fuzzy part) in the middle and my friend had started to eat it. At $18 for an artichoke, it should be cleaned correctly. The anancini were tasty and I enjoyed both the tomato and the pesto sauce that accompanied it. Before we ordered our mains, the waiter came back to say they were out of burgers and the cut of steak for both the black and bleu and the Jack Daniel's steaks, but could sub a ribeye instead. Ribeyes were market price vs the $37 of those 2 items. I was going to get the black and bleu, but then decided I would try to fish of the day. It was a white fish with a cream sauce and baby shrimp over mashed potatoes and green beans and I thought it was done very well. The fish was flaky, the mash creamy and the green beans had just enough bite! I ended up ordering another drink, but opted for wine to make it more simple. One of my friends had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and she thought it was OK. While I had hoped for a better experience, I will probably return to see if things are the same or they were just having an off day.

    The reviews about the loud music is true and it's not changing any time soon…read more I visited for dinner ~6:30pm. Immediately when walking in I noticed the music was overwhelmingly loud. It felt more like a club scene rather than a nice dinner spot. I asked if the waitress could lower the music and she said they weren't allowed to touch it. Upon seeing the reviews of this place, I see why. The business owner claims that they're trying to curate a "lively atmosphere" and it's "not for everyone". That's wack. If half of your reviews are telling you the music is too loud, lower it. I could barely hear my partner speak and had to read lips just to try to have a conversation. Plus some of the waitstaff were changing songs midway through or skipping songs. It was distracting. On top of that, the main dishes do not come with a side. Every single side option is an up charge. I knew when ordering the salmon, that it wouldn't come with a side. But everyone should note that you're spending $25 on an 8oz salmon and two slices of lemon with not a single side. No rice, no nothing. To be honest, you can go to Texas Roadhouse and get the same exact thing for the same exact price and get two sides for free. Plus you're not hounded by extremely loud music. Last thing to note, our waitress was also working the bar. There was a couple at one other table and someone at the bar. Other than that, the restaurant was completely empty. We barely saw our waitress and had to wait for quite a while when we wanted to order another drink. We spent a lot of extra time than we wanted to waiting around. My positive about this restaurant is that the decor is nice and that they let you modify the dish a bit. We ordered the pasta trio and they let us get two of one type of pasta. The pesto was really good. The deals on Thursday for drinks is good. The bread and butter was really good but an extra $5. Overall? Business owner: please take note of what customers are saying and compromise. If a customer asks for the server to lower the music, staff should be allowed to, even if just a little bit. What sort of "lively atmosphere" are you trying to create on a Thursday night at 7pm with a restaurant 90% empty? Maybe change the vibe of the music based on the time of day. Your decorations say "nice dinner" your music says "sports bar". There is an in between and I know it can be found. I hope everyone can learn something from this review.

The Atrium has a totally different look than the previous restaurant Toscana's. They have spent a lot of time and attention to detail to create a more upscale atmosphere. The light fixtures, the moody floral motif on the ceiling, the serpent gold "A", and the greenery wall decor all create a unique look and feel apart from any other restaurant in Turlock. The menu offerings are designed to be shared which is a fun change from other area restaurants. The service was friendly and efficient with prompt attention and helpful recommendations. The only area we found that could be improved upon was the music volume. It was super loud which made it difficult to have a conversation over our meal. We were told that Atrium is trying to cater to a younger crowd. While we totally understand and appreciate the image they are trying to convey, the music volume really impacts the overall dining experience and not for the better. A recommendation would be to have the music volume a little lower during the dinner service and then switch from dinner service to light bites and cocktails, dim lights, and play the music louder to cater to a younger crowd. Of course that is just our opinion. We will give it another try in the future to see if things have improved, but in the meantime, we do hope they succeed.
