I told her this was our first time here she explained about the buffet, (we went today Friday), how it works and what options we had. We saw online about the weekend buffet but didn't realize they also have it on Fridays, however, the weekend buffet has more items which include pancakes etc. Glad we had that. Sally and another lady checked with us a fair amount of time to see how we were and if we needed anything else, that's appreciated. The Chili Verde and Mole is absolutely delicious and authentic. The homemade tortillas are perfect. They have a dessert section as well, nice way to end a meal. Yummmm Thank you for a wonderful meal! This is now our number one destination for authentic Mexican food. The restaurant is clean and the bathroom.

So happy I found this place, what a gem! Was looking for a simple bean and cheese burrito and found…read moreLittle Mexico City based on their great Yelp reviews and proximity to Modesto. As others have said, don't be dissuaded by the location being in a gas station. It's very clean inside and has a sitting area with a fun TV advertising the popular dishes there (can't wait to try them all!). Nubia was very kind and helpful with great customer service. I ended up ordering a bean and cheese burrito (they grill it after making) and two street tacos (grilled/lightly fried tortillas). The bean and cheese burrito was delicious, and I enjoyed it with the cotija cheese. The chicken and pork pastor tacos were delicious and so fresh tasting, not greasy or heavy at all. Highly recommend and I am looking forward to trying their breakfast burritos (which they make all day) and tortas! Muy delicioso y buena gentes!

This place gets huge ratings and I've always wanted to try it, but I was never in town. However,…read morethat changed today when I gave my brother a ride to pick up his truck from the shop in Ceres. My son, brother, and I made the trek. Located inside a Chevron gas station, it is rather concealed if you don't know the location. We were greeted by the owner and, as first timers, asked him for the rundown. He said he is known for his tortas and recommended the Torta Cubana. That is what both my brother and I ordered (with egg added). My son custom made a breakfast burrito (which the owner said was also a popular choice, served all day). We each got Horchata drinks, which are handmade using the owner's mom's recipe. The dining room has lots of clean tables, so we sat and waited with eager anticipation. Our food came promptly and included two large squeeze jars of homemade salsa (green and red) to add as topping. The high ratings are well deserved. The Cubana torta was awesome, a great combination of meats. My son barely finished his breakfast burrito and he said it was one of the best he's had. Horchatas were awesome and the salsas were excellent. The owner was super helpful and extremely friendly. You can tell he takes pride in his food and wants the customer to enjoy their experience. Now that we know how good this place is, we won't be afraid to make the drive from out of town to visit again!

We had just left the fairgrounds and needed some Costco gas. We saw the taqueria and thought it…read moremight be a nice spot to try for lunch. We picked up food from a fast food location for our daughter (very limited menu for her) and hoped that Salt and Pepper would be ok with us bringing it in. Thankfully they were very accommodating! It was a quiet time and other than someone picking up a to-go order it was just us in the restaurant. We ordered the birria pizza and a side of chips and salsa. Portion size of the "pizza" was huge so we were only able to eat a little bit but took the rest home. The "pizza"/quasi-quesadilla was filled with juicy meat and had all the fixins on top. Overall y it was very tasty. The chips and salsa were good too.

Came to Salt and Pepper Taqueria on a whim for dinner and the SO and I are completely WOW'd by this…read morehole-in-the-wall! Located in the same parking lot as Costco in Turlock, Salt and Pepper serves amazing Mexican food. I really wished we walked into these doors earlier in life! This is one of the only taquerias I've found that does chilaquiles... and chilaquiles burritos! The inside is quite small, with two tables and two drink fridges in the forefront. The register is actually located further in if you follow the left wall. We ordered: Meat lovers burrito - we opted for birria, al pastor, and chicken as our three proteins. The SO loved that it only took half a burrito to fill him up (usually he will demolish it in one go), so the proportion to the value is reasonable. Chilaquiles burrito - I got this with al pastor and it was so good! There is also an egg prepared in your choice that is thrown in there. I loved that all burritos came with a grilled cheese exterior, adding extra crunch. Chile relleno a la carte - we got this with the salsa verde on the side, and I think that is the move here. They provide you with a pretty big bowl of the salsa and I was able to use this on my burrito as well. Service was really great. Waters were filled and patient when we didn't know to order. I found that we were accidentally charged for the chile relleno meal vs a la carte, and the cashier was able to refund me a few bucks in cash (even though there is a clear sign for patrons to check their order before paying - whoops!). I have been craving returning to Salt and Pepper to try their birria pizza. Will definitely make this a staple after-Costco meal for the future!

A lot of taco trucks have got my order wrong but they got everything right the first time. That already says a lot. On top of that they gave me FIVE salsas without me even asking. Most taco trucks either give you one tiny container or charge extra so that was a big plus. They also hooked it up with onions on the side plenty of limes and even extra plates. That level of service was refreshing and appreciated. The food came out quick too which is always a bonus. Solid spot. I'll definitely be coming back.

Also an easy in and out of I-99. We ordered tacos, shrimp burrito, rice and beans, and chips and salsa. They were all great! My husband wanted rice and beans but it was $3 each in a bowl. It would've been too much food. The lady at the front accommodated and allowed us to do half and half rice and beans. I liked their rice and beans as they weren't overpowering or too salty. There were a lot of meat on tacos. Burrito was excellent too. I tried their homemade salsa. Both green and red sauces were so good. Red one was extremely spicy but I loved it. So glad we found this place. I'll definitely come back.

Honestly, their food is pretty good. I got a super burrito de pollo asado. The pollo was nicely cooked. Juicy but had a nice smokiness to it. I love how they add fresh guac to their tacos, burritos, etc. My one critique is that it's overpriced. My burrito came out to $15 or close, and their aguas frescas are over $5 but the sizes do not match with their prices... This more of a once in a while spend eatery.
