Chimichanga Supreme
Noel F.

Best Mexican food I've had in the Central Valley since I moved here 8 months ago. Definitely worth a try.

Fajita Burrito Supreme
Mike S.

This was my first visit and I'm impressed. The small restaurant appears fully staffed with attentive, friendly service. The portion sizes are large and the flavors are authentic.

Rice and beans
Monique M.

Ordered food to go. Said it would be ready in about 15-20 minutes and it was. Food tasted great. I like how they include the sides. Prices are worth the size of the plates. My only confusion is that ive ordered the same plate multiple times to go and ive been charged 3 different prices out of the 4 times ive went there. Ill be asking for a receipt next time because now I'm worried they may be adding an additional tip on top of what I include or maybe they just ring things up differently with each person. Either way I feel of in ordering the exact same plate each time, I should only be charged one price. Other than that customer service isn't bad. They get busy, but I haven't had any real issues coming here. Obviously I keep coming back and that's because the food tastes pretty good

Steak Fajitas for 2
Michael M.

Delicious food! We came after a day at The Great Wolf Lodge and are glad we picked this spot! The margarita tastes great and the alcohol pours were very gracious. Got the famous steak fajitas and I get why they are famous. Killer flavor. Yum. Great service. 20/10 !!

Salsa guacamole
Geneva W.

Came in for our first time on a Sunday evening place was crossed waiting around 25-30 minutes to sit at a table. Service was quick and attentive chips and salsa arrived quick and they are so good and fresh Drinks arrived a few minutes except for my alcohol drinks which always take longer so no issues there I ordered the margarita flight so many yummy selections We ordered chicken nachos half order and it's huge and delicious- trio fajita with steak chicken and shrimp- super steak burrito with red sauce everything was perfect temp and delicious I will say we enjoyed our dinner only complaint I heard at our table was they wished the nachos came with grilled chicken instead of shredded chicken

Fish plate
Nicki P.

We are here for lunch yesterday after volunteering at the food bank. This was my second visit to this restaurant. Our party was promptly seated and drink/food orders taken. We were brought chips and salsa to snack on while our food was being prepared. I ordered the fish plate as a healthy option. It came out with two large fillets, veggies, and salad as my side. The portions were huge so I took most of it home. Excellent meal and great service!

Snapper
Mary H.

We had a little wait as we wanted a booth but could have been seated right away at a table. Our server was sweet, Olivia, and introduced herself and took our beverage order. We were given a nice big basket of chips and really good salsa. They also give a little dish of cabbage with dressing. I ordered the pollo in crema, and hubby ordered the snapper. Both were excellent and so much food we have another meal each. Everything was really good and we will return.

Veggie Fajitas
Bri V.

One of my favorite restaurant best Mexican food in Manteca I recommend the steak or veggie fajitas foods delicious good service ambience is great it is a little bit pricey though.

Shrimp Taco Salad
chellz c.

Came here for a Breast Cancer Survivor meet up. Restaurant is in a busy shopping center. Safeway, Walmart, Pho restaurant, etc. So parking can be challenging. It was a Thursday night too and parking was bad. Very welcoming staff greeted me when arrived. Cute restaurant with decor! Ordered the Shrimp Taco salad which I have had at others places. This didn't really have a lot of flavor and 4 baby shrimps. Our waiter was good but just he just needed to smile (probably was having a bad day) Not sure if I'll return, but if I do I'll try something else on the menu.

Tres Favoritos
Joi L.

The seafood burrito was amazing! Food had always been delicious the few time we've visited. Servers are always cool and allow us enough time to order. This is a relaxed restaurant where you come for really good food!

Also great !! House margarita with a corona and my wife had a pomegranate margarita

Hour of arrival was around 5pm. We were greeted by Natalie and welcome in. We sat at the bar. Shortly after we were greeted by Caroline. We spoke about what brought us here. I explained to her i saw thier Yelp page and a pictures of a pizza caught my eye. She explains in detail of what she is doing with this style of pizza and the ingredients she uses. We were sold. We ordered 3 new haven style pizza or apizza as advertised. We ordered the Mozz , Margherita and one not on the menu Pepperoni hot honey apizza. This is the order she suggested we have them and we complied. I'm no expert of new haven style pizza but I'll watched enough Dave Portnoy to maybe not necessarily be a judge but to recognize what makes a apizza. Let me start by saying these pizzas were delicious. As for the characteristics of a new haven there were some. I'll let you be the judge by the picture or your own experience dinning here. We tried all 3 as they were coming out the oven and also tried them with Caroline customizations. In short they elevated the apizza. She also mentioned she puts some parmigiano reggiano on her pizza and has a big wheel of it in the back which I didn't get the chance to see and take a picture. None the less another thing to like about her pizza.. Natalie crafted some fine spirits for us to accompany our pizzas although I wish they were a bit more unbalanced in a good way but then again the are mixed drink. The ambiance was great with Contemporary jazz playing. I like jazz so it was delightful. If you are at the bar you may need to talk a little louder to your friend. 3 pizzas 5 mixed drinks plus tip $190. I will certainly be back with my wife I think she will like the Alfredo pasta. Caroline signature dish. Heavy cream she says.

The inside is very classy chic with a Mexican twist . I went during the week so it was happy hour . Their happy hour is pretty sweet ! It's from Monday - Friday 4-6 pm, Dine-In Only . They offered $10 drinks and also $10 appetizers. I ended up getting their tacos de papa from their happy hour, which is two tacos, but they are very fulfilling. They're very delicious and I did not see them in the regular menu so if you go during happy hour, it's definitely a must try. I also ordered Jesse's favorite, which is a Chile that looks like a chille relleno, but it's not instead of the egg it has a cream sauce on top and inside it has ground beef . My dad ordered the fajitas which they came with a side of cilantro rice and beans and also all the fixings like guacamole and stuff. Let me tell you the fajitas meal was huge. You could definitely share it with somebody else. I have to say their portions are very generous. For drinks they have beers margaritas my mother had a Chavela, which is beer with lime. I'm not a big tequila fan, but they do have a full bar so I just changed the dirty linen drink for Gin instead of tequila and it was very delicious . The service everyone was really nice and attentive. Overall, we had a great dinner my family and I we had a lot of food and a lot of good laughs. I would definitely come back. I have to say I love their tacos de Papa and for them being on happy hour it's a win-win.

On our visit they were only taking cash -luckily we had enough on us as the prices were very reasonable & portions huge! My hubby had the gigantic Chili relleno burrito with Carne asada & fresh veggies; i had the Huevos Mexicana with the very savory sauce on top that was not that spicy/perfect for my taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the homemade corn tortillas and homemade chips & salsa that came with our meals. Very clear that this place is frequented by a steady stream of regulars stopping by for take out, or sitting down for Menudo or Birria tacos. Highly recommend this place if you are hungry because of the large filling portions, quality & well prepared food at a small family run business.

Overall I would for sure come back and try other things on their menu.
