    Inside dining area

    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.

    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!

    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

    Mom and Pop place with a little higher ambience than most such places. Sitting in the dining area you notice that thought went into every detail of this restaurant (cloth napkins!). The owners have been turning out their specialty carnitas for years and everything down to the presentation is top notch yet still reasonably priced. You don't have to save room for the flan your stomach will make room when you see it.

The outdoor patio is quite large and for a warm day, it's shaded and comfortable. They have a fun drink menu, and do mimosa flights with unique flavors. I tried their red sangria and enjoyed it, it's not too sweet and more tart. My friend had the lemon drop, and at first it wasn't the proper color of one it was more orange than yellow. We had an accident with the baby and he knocked over the drink and water and they were kind enough to remake her the cocktail and the next time around it was the correct color and tasted better. The food menu also had unique items, I was intrigued to try a few things! We started with the ceviche, I really liked it! Typically I always go for chilaquiles so I was torn but I decided to be different and since it is a crepe place I went with the mushroom and bacon crepe. The sauce they use on the crepe is decently spicy, so if you're spice sensitive I recommend getting it on the side. My friend's daughter had the breakfast crepe and it also had the same sauce and she had to eat around it, but she trooped through! My girlfriend ordered the steak bowl and she enjoyed it, it came with a lot of steak!

He only directed his attention to my daughter not both of us. He took our order, didn't offer any suggestions or ask if we wanted a margarita or soda or anything to drink. He took a long time to bring our check and he didn't return to pick up the payment. I took it to the hostess. Other than that, I ordered the Tex-Mex chicken salad. It was good and plenty of chicken.

I called on Friday to make a reservation for the following evening and was told that reservations are only accepted for parties of ten or more. Although I would have made other arrangements at that point, I was then told that if I called about 30 minutes before arriving, they could put us on a waitlist and have a table ready. I was grateful for that option and followed those instructions. However, when I called 30 minutes before our arrival, the person who answered said they did not offer that option and implied that I had been misinformed. We were told they were fully booked and could not accommodate us. At that point, it was too late to find availability at other restaurants. This was meant to be a special dinner to celebrate my daughter's engagement, and unfortunately, it was disrupted due to conflicting information and lack of accommodation. I was very disappointed with the experience.

Nice portions of food were you can take home.

Wonderful friendly helpful waitresses, who are attentive, great customer service, inside and outside seating-weather permitting. Right of Fwy 99 and Main St., in Turlock. Opens at 6:00 am and closes at 3 pm everyday- its a diner, and casual atmosphere! I would highly recommend my family, friends, and new comers. The waitresses are so friendly in Turlock and the cook is so cool. They are all off of Fwy 99 in Hilmar, Ceres and Turlock off of Main St nearby the freeway and and you will see McDonald's on your right side and Hot Rod on your left side facing the freeway. ENJOY!

Even the lentil soup was delicious that we decided to take a bowl home to share or not.
