Not knowing where to eat on Good Friday, we decided to try a small hole-in-the-wall spot after…read morereading several positive reviews. There are a few things worth noting. First, the restaurant is quite small with a very quiet atmosphere--surprisingly so, especially with a jukebox that wasn't in use. The space didn't feel particularly clean, and the chairs were outdated and could definitely use some refurbishing. When we received the menus, I was honestly shocked by the prices. This is something I wish more reviewers had mentioned. We ordered a shrimp tostada (about $13) and shrimp fajitas (around $24). The shrimp tostada was disappointing--the shrimp was chopped so finely that it was hard to tell it was even there. It was overwhelmed by cucumber, tomato, and cilantro. The fajitas were similarly underwhelming: the shrimp were cut in half and curled up, with maybe around ten pieces total, but there was an excessive amount of large-cut onions and bell peppers, which made the dish less enjoyable. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, and the horchata we ordered was excellent. I did mention that the bell peppers were overabundant and cut too thick, but my feedback didn't seem to go anywhere. One concern I had was seeing staff handle multiple tasks--taking payments, cleaning tables, and serving food--without ever noticing handwashing, which was a bit off-putting. I'm not completely writing this place off, as I'd like to return and try their breakfast. Most reviews are positive, so perhaps this was just an off night. Still, given today's prices, I expect the quality to match. Beans were bland and rice was cold, I'm sure made way ahead of time. I'll update my thoughts after a second visit--judge for yourself in the meantime.

Went again a week later and got the same thing and the meat had the texture of ground up beef Jerky and all you could taste was grease. A year later and I went tonight to give it another chance and the same exact thing, ground up mystery jerkey meat that clearly had been cooked days before. Its really sad when a business finally starts getting recognized then starts cutting corners to maximize profits. The 1 star is for the salsa which is the only thing that didn't make it to the trash after one bite. If you think im over exaggerating this is the only time iver ever left a review about food. Thats how bad it is!

There are no prices on the menu so I had to ask when I placed my to-go order. Burritos are $15 each, chicken quesadillas are just under $15. There's no extra fee for using credit cards or Apple Pay. We arrived to pick up our food and saw that Aliyah's is a humble shop located in the back of a convenience store. There are a few tables in a covered area. This is not a full service restaurant. If you want to dine in, you order at the counter and find a place to sit down. The lady employee was really nice and our food was hot and ready when we arrived. I asked for both the red and green sauce and they were both great, but just want to warn you that the red sauce is SPICY! I love spicy but this caught me by surprise. We got the chicken burrito, carnitas burrito, and chicken quesadilla. The burritos were pretty hefty in size and the quesadilla portion was big too! Flavors of all the food were fantastic, my whole family really enjoyed it! Definitely a hidden gem in the quiet town of Templeton, so if you're in the area, you should give it a try!

Tucked into the corner of a Starbucks location, this cute little spot is small but super inviting--and definitely lives up to the hype. As soon as we walked in, the place was clean and filled with the delicious smell of spices and fresh food. I ordered the chilaquiles (not listed on the menu, but they'll make it for you with your choice of meat or traditional eggs for the same price). I went with chili verde, and wow--I was not disappointed. It was loaded with meat, sauce, cheese, cilantro, onion, and sour cream. Absolutely worth the $13, and I'd 100% order it again--next time with al pastor! We also tried the chicken enchilada plate ($13), which was just as good. Great flavor, the perfect amount of sauce and cheese, and it came with rice and beans on the side. For drinks, they've got a wide selection, including alcoholic options. I grabbed a Jarritos--just a heads up, they're $3.50 each, a bit pricey, but ice cold and refreshing. Overall, this place was a hit for us. The waitress, Erma, was friendly, polite, and attentive--which, let's be honest, isn't always easy to find. The restaurant is clean, has plenty of seating, and judging by the steady flow of customers, it's definitely no secret anymore! Give it a try and see for yourself--I'm pretty sure you'll love it too. Thanks for reading! Follow me along for more hits and misses.

I happen to be eating next door and noticed a steady trickle of people coming n going from Touch of Mexico. It peaked my interest enough that the next feeding time, we decided to dine there. Good decision. The staff was welcoming. The interior has simple ambiance. The vibes and food were also simply comforting. The Hubs ordered a crispy taco and tamale Combo. He liked both. I took a bite of the tamale. Yum. The menu stated ground beef but it was what I consider shredded beef. The beef was seasoned well, nice flavor. The sauce over the tamale was ah-mazing. I ordered a sope. I would have preferred the sope being fried a bit longer. It was on the softer vs fried crispy texture.

Consistency here is a huge issue. The exact same menu item can taste wildly different on a second or third visit. Perhaps they have multiple chefs? The first time the relleno enchiladas were sooooo good. The second time was so so. The third time they were cold inside, the cheese wasn't melted, and there was a full tablespoon of seeds inside (the first two times the chef had cleaned the seeds). The chicken taco tasted off after one bite, so it was left on the plate. Their chips and salsa are very good, as are the beans and rice. Unfortunately the weak point is the main entree.
