I stopped by Tacos Hidalgo and ordered a quesadilla and 5 tacos supreme and I have to say the food…read moreitself was really good. The flavor was on point easily a 9/10. The meat was well seasoned the tacos were loaded and the quesadilla was cheesy and satisfying. Definitely the kind of spot you go to when you're craving solid tacos that actually hit the spot. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is a couple small things. They don't automatically give you any salsas which was surprising because most taco spots will at least throw in a few. Also I paid with a credit card and there was a $2 charge on a $25 order just for using a card. That said the food quality really carries this place. If you're looking for flavorful tacos and a good quesadilla this spot delivers. Just be aware of the card fee or bring cash and make sure to ask for salsas. Overall still a place I'd come back to for the food.

Hey Marco, I've seen…read moreyou in that corner for a while now. I finally came back to give you a try... And wow these are pretty good... and avocado on everything? that's my kryptonite. How did you know and why didn't you say so earlier? Avocado makes everything better. Also makes the value more palatable. Usually when I go to Taco Trucks, my way of evaluating how good the food is by seeing how they make Carnitas (is it a good mix of crunchy edges and warm juicy meat). I also like to try to Pastor since everyone makes that one a little bit different. I usually don't judge the Carne Asada, bc generally the kind of meat used is kind cheap and not as good. But... I think Carne Asada is my favorite here. It's different. not chunks or strips, but diced into almost ground beef size. Yes it doesn't sound good, but it just works bc it's crunchy. Call me crazy but somehow it works. I like it. Either way, the Avocado helps up the ante. You are... in my top 3 tacos in Merced. Not #1 tho :). Not gonna say who that is here... Oh get over it.

Great breakfast burrito! I read on Reddit to ask for the potatoes in my burrito to be hash browns…read more It's true - it probably elevated this to one of the best breakfast burritos we had on our recent trip. Lotsa bacon, eggs, cheese, beans, and hash browns. It was the perfect blend of flavor. I used the chipotle salsa from the salsa bar and that gave it more character. This place wasn't on our way back to the freeway to head home, but was worth going a few miles out of the way. This place is on repeat!

Idk what it is, but the burritos here are stellar and so moist and tasty. Hands down, the best burritos in Merced. El Palmar was also one of the first places to offer Birria in Merced. I have always enjoyed their Birria Tacos and would highly recommend. They also have Birria ramen too if you'd like to try it. The restaurant is pretty clean and has plenty of parking. If not, you can go park in the Chevron area next door. When dining in, they'll give you some chips and salsa. They do have beer available for dine-in. They don't have a self-serve salsa bar so you'll have to ask the cashier for all of your condiments (salsa, lime, etc). This is my favorite Mexican joint and has never let me down! Come enjoy!

Me and my family had dinner here recently and this place seems like a very popular spot. As soon as…read morewe walked in we were greeted with a friendly face and was seated. It's not a very big restaurant, but when you walk in it seems there might be a private room immediately on the right side of entry, unless it's just a small area to the restrooms. Almost all the tables were taken, but these ladies hustled! As soon as we ordered the service was fast and they did not miss a beat. As soon as my son sipped his last drink, here comes the lady with another drink. I was so impressed with the service here. I watched other tables and she was on top of those tables too! The menu has so much to choose from that I didn't know what to get. I ended up getting a shrimp plate and I was sooo full that I didn't finish my food. They serve pretty good size portions here that I was anticipating eating all my food because I was hungry, but they came out with this big oval sized plate. I would love to come again. Service was amazing, it seems like a family owned business and they are super friendly and welcoming here. If you love Mexican food and you're from this are and don't know where to go, check this place out next time!

The service was so slow and we were the only ones there that day…read more In the couple of times I been there. The prices are high for the restaurant. Ordered a couple of the drinks and they were good. The food not so much. Ordered; the coconut shrimp so disappointing. 1/5 Bland Ceviche samplers 2/5. The wings were ok. 3/5 The best thing was the camarones ala plancha nothing out of the ordinary. But the best thing the had. Not sure if I want to be back. I believe it's to expensive for what it is.

You know the food's gonna be good when there are Mexican grandmas eating breakfast there. We were brought chips with three different types of salsa. All were good but just different. The chips were amazing. Warm and crunchy. Our meals came out quickly and the chilaquiles were perfect: great sauce, the toppings were just right, the chips were still crunchy and not soggy. The beans were good. I do not speak on rice because I just don't love any Spanish rice. Overall, an excellent meal. We will be back.

Order: Shrimp Burrito with Carne Asada it came with chips and 3 different salsas…read more This was an outstanding burrito! I cannot express how good everything really was from top to bottom on the burrito. Carne asada was light, not chewy, seasoned well enough. Shrimp tasted like it was just freshly cooked. Tortilla was super thin and light, but held surprisingly well. Rice, which I often hate, was excellent. The Smokey chipotle sauce that comes with it was outstanding! On top of that all of their chips are VERY good. Salas had to of been made that day. They were spicy and exactly what I had hoped for in a salsa. Service was solid, my burrito was piping hot. I'd consider this place to be much more like a hole in the wall type business. They aren't big on the thrills, but man they deliver on the food. Burrito: 8.6/10 DEFINITELY will be back!
