    Haven't been here in years. This place rocks. Service was excellent. Food was awesome. No complaints from me. Forgot to take a lot of pics.

    I have to say I am pretty impressed with the food here. I've never heard of this place before until hubby told me it's a chain restaurant. I like the Latin twist to the typical diner. I did have the Menudo from the menu though it's not as good as the local Mexican restaurant by my house but it's OK. Everything else that came with. It was delicious and the service was acceptable. Price: $- $$ Quality: A Service: A

    Great Mom and Pop... Nothing taste better then home cooked food. I had the beef vegetable and my friend had menudo. Best soup ever! Mexican and American food. Large Menu.... The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. Say hello to Suzie, Valerie and Teresa for me.

    First thing: hands down, Cindy's makes the greatest salsa EVER! This unassuming spot is usually pretty busy, especially on a Saturday. It literally feels like home in there. It's clean and serves up the best comfort food. A restaurant serving American & Mexican dishes threw me off at first but it makes sense, especially for the area. It's a perfect combination of a typical American diner food and traditional Mexican dishes. Where else can you get good huevos rancheros and chicken fried steak and eggs?! Oh and did I mention free chips and salsa?! The parking lot here is super funky. It's right off golden state in a busy intersection so be careful! Overall, a must try for breakfast or lunch. Pro tip: you can order their delicious chips & salsa by the pound!!! It's always a hit at parties!

    This place is def a local breakfast spot. You can tell by the customers who come, they have been coming for years. Anyhow, the food. The food is OK. Food comes out hot but I can definitely make a better breakfast at home. The salsa, it tastes like an el pato can. The biscuits and gravy, I've had better for sure. The sausage didn't look too appealing. They offer Mexican and American, but the Mexican is not authentic. If everything else around is closed and this is the only place open, then I would come back.

    Yummy

    So I have lived in Turlock since 2007. Driven by Cindy's many many times but never stopped here for breakfast. Why? That's a darn good question. The wife and I finally made the pit stop and let me just say, we were glad we did. We were seated in the outside dining since the restaurant was packed. It was morning time so the weather was perfect. I went with their special which consisted of two eggs, I picked two sausage links, potatoes and toast. The wife went with the breakfast enchiladas. They offer chips and salsa which were YUMMY. Warm corn tortilla chip but they felt as if they were flour chips. Weird but delicious. The salsa had a kick. The kind of kick where your mouth is burning but you can't stop eating it. Did I mention they serve Pepsi products? I love me some Diet Pepsi. The food came out fast and it was time to eat. My food was delicious. My wife liked her plate to. Her only complaint and I agree, leave the lettuce garnish off the plate. No one likes wilted lettuce. Talk about a great experience overall. The food was great, the staff was awesome. They always checked on us.

    This place has been in Turlock ever since I could remeber. It's a little Cafe with Mexican American selections .every time my husband and I come here it never disappoints! It's Always so so good ! We had bacon cheese burger and fries and chili Verde dinner. We came for lunch this time , but let me tell you their breakfast is also out of this world delicious . If your ever in turlock stop by this small family owned business you won't be sorry !

    5/5 Love this old school diner…read more Ambiance: This restaurant is clean. It can get rather busy on eh weekends but we have never waited more than 10 minutes. Service: All staff members are sweet and attentive. They Al's ways ask if we've dined with them before. (They ask this so they can recommend some dishes if it's your first time) Food: Everything we have gotten here has truly been great. No fuss or frills, just really nice diner food done the right way. Our favorite breakfast items are the country fried steak and eggs, and the linguica and eggs. Our favorite sandwiches are the club on toasted wheat, tuna sandwhich (that we get as a melt on toasted rye for $1 more), and the Philly cheese steak. We love to get the garlic fries. The crinkle cut fries are so crispy yet fluffy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Overall the portions are generous, delicious, and reasonably priced.

    Solid restaurant. My wife and I went twice this week to have breakfast. Really enjoyed our meals…read more Service was great. Place is extremely clean. Very good atmosphere. You can see that the owners have their friends there and there is great banter and friendship. The mom is there with a huge smile and greeting. Just a friendly, happy place. They have very good iced tea and coffee. I like my hash browns really crispy and they delivered. Oh, and we can place Hot Spot keno while we enjoy our food, courtesy of the California Lottery. An added perk was they had college football on the big screen!

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!

I ordered a croissant sandwich and a couple of drinks, and let me tell you, it was the saddest croissant sandwich I've ever seen and tasted. As you can see in the picture, it's just the croissant, then the pesto spread, and the turkey is a separate price. How in the world can only the croissant cost $11? The coffee was a simple black coffee with no refill, and it was almost $5. When I asked if it was refillable, she said it was $.50, which was surprising enough. But she probably noticed my surprise, so she offered to give me a free refill, which I didn't take in the end since we were in a hurry. Allison seemed nice, but I would just suggest having a clearer menu with prices so that customers don't have to guess what they're paying for. I won't be coming back because I didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth.

Nice portions of food were you can take home. Since I was hungry and my boyfriend had already eaten, we decided to share the 1/2 sandwich and their soup of the day-a bowl of chicken n rice, DELICIOUS. 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! UPDATE: Went again a week ago, and yes the soup was delicious! We learned today that they have a variety of soups of the day. Even the lentil soup was delicious that we decided to take a bowl home to share or not.

So after church…read moretoday we decided to try the one in Turlock, thinking we'd experience the same quality food and service. We were sadly mistaken. Entering the restaurant, the first thing that caught our attention was the dirty floor, littered with food and paper products throughout the restaurant. Coffee and water came out quickly but never had a refill on the coffee until I had finished my meal. Not because I didn't want any, but our server was busy with other tables and didn't get to us until we were almost done. My wife's meal was mostly ok, but the English Muffin was hard enough to use as hockey pucks. My chicken fried steak had a weird flavor and not sure if it was on the gravy or the seasoning used on the meat. But it was just so-so, nothing to write home about. Best thing was the eggs, done perfectly and hashbrowns were pretty decent. Biggest complaint was the slow service, probably due to it being grad weekend and they were pretty busy with families (according to the cashier), and the extremely dirty place. The bathroom was also dirty, obviously nobody had cleaned it for quite a while. I blame management for not planning ahead and having at least 1 or 2 extra servers/busboys on hand to handle the larger crowd. We decided to return to the Ceres location and call that our home for Hod Rod Diner food. As another recommendation, I suggest taking the carpet out and just having a plain floor; much easier to keep clean than a carpet.
