Came here on July 25th of this year for the first time; completely empty except for some patrons who had just left. Girl who helped me showed me the basics and recommendations. I got a chicken and asada Superior Burrito, with red sauce on top and a soda, and she was very accommodating when asked for additions or substitutions. The seating was pretty open since I was the only customer. When the food arrived, needless to say, I was SHOCKED at its girth (lol); I can't believe it fit in the carton so easily. I was thankful for the knife and fork, because that thing was gonna go all over me if I tried to two-hand it. The Burrito was very flavorful and fulfilling; I polished off a good 2/3rds of it before taking the rest home. Service was very attentive and nice and I would recommend coming again. read more

Great tacos, good service, prices good. Thank you Yelp for feeding us on our journey! Not the best ambiance, but definitely a good find for lunch. Lock your car, small parking lot, next to Subway. read more

Customer service was good, but I ordered to go and I got home my chile verde burrito was ice cold. Mind you I only live 3 min away. I had to reheat it and it wasn't very good. A lot of just pure fat in a burrito with cold beans . read more

We both had the menudo. It was very tasty and came with all the extras for toppings. Very friendly and attentive service. Bathroom was clean although a key was required to open it. read more

Can't believe I found a new favorite Mexican restaurant. I saw the Yelp reviews and had to give it a try, I'm stoked that I did. Definitely going into the rotation. I had the asada burrito supreme, delicious, huge and priced nicely. I also got a side of rice and beans, so good. The guacamole was fantastic as well as the pico de gallo. We all loved the freshly made tortilla chips. Amy said her California burrito was delicious and packed with asada. The green and red sauce were also perfectly done. The service is great, friendly and quick. The ambiance is fine. For me it's a to-go restaurant, but there are tables and chairs if you decide to eat here. Love the food and prices. read more

The foods great from what I ordered. My problem is WHY is the menu's prices covered with duct tape??? I ordered a regular burrito and it was like 10 something, then the next time I come over and order i get charged more? Like 11.90...what??? PUT THE PRICES ON THE MENU!!! read more

They make excellent breakfast burritos but don't go often at all because it's too expensive

They have excellent food I really enjoy their TRIPAS and random specials. They have really good thick chili and their staff is always so kind and polite. Plus their MENUDO is really delicious for the price and that's it's right around the corner from me. Sometimes I go there for just fries or for an HORCHATA with light ice because that's how I prefer my drinks on a regular base. CLIMATE & POLITICAL move in one order, almost like silent but deadly politics. ALSO, I have yet to try their burgers! Colorful place and space inside, I like the booths. read more

Two of us stopped in for a late lunch while travelling through and... wow, delicious!!!! Had the special of the day and some street tacos. Could have (should have) gone back for more!! It's in a little shopping center that's a bit run down, but don't let that put you off. Prices are good, service is quick, and the food is top notch!! The restroom had a sign that said out of service - if you need to use it just ask and they will give you a key. We will be eating here again!!! read more

Ordered a burrito Got a flop of meat on tortilla No care for how it comes out or how customer will enjoy eating Obviously it cannot be help by hand must be eaten with fork And taste is bad too, same as the service read more

I can eat breakfast for every meal and Jose's Bacon breakfast burrito is out of this world. There is so much of it and I don't know what brand of bacon he uses, it's WONDERFUL. The burrito is huge and I generally can't get through one, I manage to get through at least half way. I will save the other half for lunch(dinner) if I have room for more. It reheats great. This has become a great go to for quick meals. read more

I'll be real, walking up to the place I wasn't sure how it would be bc it's a lil bit of a rough looking corner.... But lemme tell you the food is so damn good I wanted to come back for more! The staff was super nice and felt like my Tia in law's place and I know for sure if I'm back in town I'll be back there for sure. read more

Speedy service and good breakfast burritos! Stopped her on our way down to souther California for some breakfast. They were very quick in getting our food ready. I got the bean, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. The tortillas were soft and the beans and cheese were good. Overall, a decent place to stop if you're in the mood for breakfast burritos for a reasonable price read more

Asada for the burrito was good but after telling me lite on the beans, they over staked it. They made me a limp burrito. But other than that it was great. Provided me with some tasty salsa as we'll probably will not return. read more

Good food, close to neighborhoods easy to walk there not far drive, clean inside, fast serving. Last time i walked in there, they dont have the menu price upfront. Have to asked multiple food items how much it was, then it was awkard... read more

I ordered 3 carnitas taco supreme and a chile relleno (a la cart) and my husband got a carnitas burrito supreme (no beans). The taco were very good, they do not put salsas on them so make sure to ask for some. The chile relleno I didn't enjoy as much but was very surprised the gave guac, lettuce, sour cream and a tomato on the side since it was a la cart. My husband love his burrito and they did not add beans as requested. There lady that took my order was patient with me since I like to review the menu 1000 times and restaurant was very clean. The only thing I really don't like is that when you order tacos or something that's not wrapped to-go the put it on a plate style container and cover it with foil and then sit your other food on top so now you have to scrap your food off the foil. But I'll go back. read more

Absolutely delicious chile verde super burrito! The chile verde wasn't as deeply flavorful as some others I've had (it's my go-to meat for burritos) but it was certainly still delicious and the rest of the burrito was spot on! The tortilla was especially great. The burrito came on a styrofoam plate with foil covering, not the super tight wrap style you'll find in the Bay, so I recommend eating over the plate in case all the amazing juices escape. Highly recommended for burritos! read more

Best asada fries I have ever had and that shrimp burrito was fire. Would come back again. read more

If you want a burrito don't go here. You'll have to bring your own fork to eat it because they don't know how to wrap them. Also, don't even bother telling them you have an allergy they won't care and will make your food the way they feel like making it. They have the mentality of you get what you get. There are plenty of other great Mexican food places in Merced. Skip this one. read more

Quick service and amazing burritos. The salsa is seriously delicious! I've been back multiple times and everything I've had I would happily eat over and over (asada burrito regular and supreme, and the carne asada fries). Clean and tidy on the inside, everyone is very polite read more

This is the shittiest taco shop in town. The old hag they have in front can't hear what you order and then argues with you about what you ordered when its ready. The picture includes these nasty ass nachos read more

Doesn't care if you have allergies to specific foods, will still put it in your food after asking them not to. Then won't remake your food. Don't go here, disgusting way to run a business. read more

Fucked up my order & didn't want to fix it when it was their fault. Was not too happy about it.

Customer service and stand by their orders, made wrong and make it right it should be a zero star, but they don't give bad option

Food allergy nightmare! If you have any type of allergy or ingredient preference, don't waste your time and money here. Chances are they will make your order wrong and refuse to remake it. Service is terrible and the food isn't any better than the service. read more

Would rate 0 stars if possible, this place does NOT care about their customers. I went here for a quick late bite with my husband and he is mildly allergic to tomatoes, so he specifically asked no tomatoes in his burrito. When we received our order his burrito had tomatoes so we let them know. And they said there is nothing they can do about it and said they could not remake it even though it was their mistake. The cashier asked the owner and the owner told her no and cowardly hid in the back. On another note, My burrito was not that good either. We will NEVER be eating here again. read more

This is our to go place when we do not feel like cooking and everyone will be happy with their meal! I have been getting food from this place since 2017, I loved the green salsa was my favorite dressing for the burritos and plates, it was perfect Flavorful and a little hot! but around 2019 they change the recipe.. it was so hot I couldn't stand to use it anymore now at the begging of this year I took the green salsa again and the old recipe was back! Now the other day I got 2 green salsas and here is the proof that they have 2 different kind of "green" salsa besides the red one; one is for sure green (the one with the happy face) you can see it is green and delicious! and the other one has a hint of red and that one my friends is hot! so whoever is messing out the green salsa please stop! Thank you!. Anyways so far everything we have tried so far from this taco shop is deli! read more

Great place to grab dinner to go on the way home; delicious shrimp burrito. Ask about the daily special.

The best taco shop. The best prices and nicest staff. A+ They have the grilled chicken fries that are bomb!

We stopped through on a drive up north from los angeles. I had green enchiladas, and the sauce was awesome. Hubby had ed sauce, and he also said they were amazing. Super hot and fresh. Loved it. Highly recommend read more

I am only leaving 4 stars for this place because I will always prefer my mom and abuela's food over fast-food/restaurant Mexican food, but this place is the closest I've ever been to leaving 5 stars for a Mexican restaurant. The staff is friendly and their food is just bomb. Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. I would recommend getting the burrito loco (it's very huge, so I would just eat the first half and save the other half for the next day, it reheats very well). The Super Carne Asada Fries are amazing as well. If you're going to get a drink, make sure to get Jamaica or Horchata. (My mom also always gets the Shrimp Tacos every time we go there, so if you like shrimp, get those). I've been going here since 2015? Somewhere around that year. I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

First time trying and I ordered a Burrito Loco with a regular size horchata. It was so good and hit the spot!They were super quick with getting our order out. Good quality food for a good price. Will be coming back! read more

Best menudo in town. Only place we will buy from and have never been disappointed. Have tried other foods on menu and never disappointed.

I was very happy to see my fish lunch. A very hefty portion of white breaded fish, with a garnish salad and beans with rice. The sauces were paired nicely with the fish (I prefer green) and the steaming hot tortillas allowed me to make three tacos. I appreciate the great customer service and on Friday's this was the special of the day. $10 bucks well spent. I gotta say that this place is always clean and the service is very fast. I have tried everything, and I can say that their menudo is also delicious. I even tried their burger. I work not too far away and enjoy the quiet atmosphere and the programming on tv (I appreciate the low volume). Keep up the good food and great customer service, I'll keep coming back for more!!! read more

First time trying this taco shop and ordered the quesadilla supreme. with everything they put inside this quesadilla, it makes it so sloppy and not enjoyable to eat. i would suggest to put all the extras on the side instead of inside the quesadilla because it's impossible to eat this without making a mess. had to throw away a whole $8 plate. the 1 star is for the good customer service. read more

Absolutely delicious! Great service food came out fast and was a good amount for the price. Very flavorful and tasty. Highly recommend

Whoa the size of this burrito is surprising lol. I was kind of skeptical cause the price says $9.99 for a shrimp and steak burrito. I thought it was standard to have cheese/sour cream on a super burrito but I guess not at this place, theirs come with ranch ? Yuck. I asked for no ranch/pico de Gallo, and for it to have cheese/sour cream. It went from $9.99 to $13.00 for cheese and sour cream ?? Damn lol. I just took a bite though and I'm it even going to lie it's hella good haha. It's a great size and the meat (at least the carne asada) is packed in there. Im for sure going to enjoy this big ass burrito !! Will be back :) read more
