On a Saturday, I wandered in there around lunch time. The place is where it should be, but you can't really see it from the street (I was driving), so I circled several times before I decided just to park and look for it later. Parking was easy to find; I did end up on a side street about a block away. I was greeted immediately by an enthusiastic server, which is always a good beginning. I came alone and sat at one of the small tables right near the bathroom (not a bad thing), so I was able to look out the window and "people watch." A minute after I sat down, I was asked what I wanted to drink. I got an iced tea, and soon after I ordered. I asked for a description of the beef picadillo, and my server knew how it was made and what was in the dish. During the entire time, I was helped by several different people, which is great because you don't have to worry so much about asking for things from the right waiter or bus boy. I'd look up and there was always someone available to quickly get me a refill, get the bill, etc. The food tasted very good and the dish was presented well. I'm trying not to eat so much salty foods, and my dish fit the bill. The beef had the flavor, but the black beans didn't, so it was the perfect pairing. I got the feeling that the food was very fresh, and I didn't feel sick (too oily) afterwards. I would definitely return and would recommend this place to others. It's a great place to sit and catch up with old friends or in my case to relax and read a couple chapters of my book. read more

This place is such a treat! They have delicious food and warm service. They didn't get 5 stars only because our food took maybe 30 minutes to get to our table. BUT... It was soooo worth the wait! Chicken tortilla soup is served with some fresh tomato. Can't wait to come back and try everything else on their menu! read more

i ordered the chilaquiles, and they were honestly the worst chilaquiles i've had! very bland and unauthentic.

All I can give is 1 star if I could it be 0 never got the opportunity to try the food because the service was that bad!!! Waited to be seated no problems all downhill from there not one person out of 4 that continually walked by me like I was invisible I even put the menus to the side terribly bad service!!! Young people these days have no clue everything starts with first impressions read more

Went up north this weekend hoping to be able to get my La Mo craving satisfied, unfortunately they are CLOSED ON SUNDAYS...... made me sad but I guess all good things come to those who wait... til next time La Mo. I wish I knew you weren't open on Sundays ahead of time. read more

La Mo Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Turlock, California

Excellent food and very good customer service. This place is family owned and apparently two sisters manage it. One manages the kitchen and the other walks the floor. They both do an awesome job. The ingredients in the omelette were truly garden fresh, and black beans were as tasty as a Latina mom would make them at home. The oatmeal pancakes were awesome, and the coffee (my personal obsession) was surprisingly good. I got a kick out of the coffee mugs too. We were coming from up north and just passing through, but if we ever go that way again, we will surely visit them again. read more

This hidden gem in Turlock is definitely a must try. Been here 3 different times and each meal was absolutely delightful. This is not the place to come if you are looking for the "standard fare" of rice & refried beans. La Mo Café offeres patrons much more rich and indulgent flavors which are reminiscent of the Caribbean. The first time I had a bowl of the homemade chicken tortilla soup and grilled chicken sandwich. The soup was definitely a treat and is the best chicken tortilla soup I've had so far. The sandwich was also very tasty and I love the black beans that come as a side. The second time we came here and had the 3 mini sope appetizer with carne asada, Black beans, cotiza cheese and nopales. (I don't like the taste nor texture of nopales, but I have to say that they nailed this dish because I haven't had nopales since I left home for college. And that my friends has been quite some time now.) Our entré was an amazing lamb in red mole. Holy smokes was that good! The flavors of the homemade mole were all there and the tenderness of the lamb was on point. It was one of those moments when you both have a mouth full, look at each other and go..."MMMM". Toady I tried the daily special charred corn, cauliflower & goat cheese quesadilla. It's made with local cilantro goat cheese from Nicolau farms and grilled red onion in a whole wheat tortilla. (I added chicken to it.) Man was my server on point with her suggestion to try it. It was absolutely fantastic! But with other daily specials such as the roasted red pepper soup, super kale salad tamales and grilled snapper tacos, you can't go wrong. Oh and they play awesome salsa music in the courtyard while you dine. If you're a foodie, it's a must! read more

So I went to this place thinking it was the same as the restaurant but nope which was no big deal though. Turns out the restaurant was directly behind the cafe so that's good to know. I had a Dulce Macchiato which wasn't too sweet but good enough and warm. Had a Breakfast Bagel that had what looks like ham or turkey, lettuce, tomato, BACON, cheese and on jalapeno bread ( I think). The bagel was better than any breakfast sandwich I had elsewhere which was a major positive to me. The atmosphere of this cafe is like a Starbucks but upgraded to look all classy and fancy. I will be coming back but this time to the restaurant lol read more

La Mo Cafe - Dulce Macchiato and Breakfast Bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Turlock, California

This is for the coffee shop not the restaurant! Coffee and asthetic are pretty good. Barista staff is not the friendliest which is too bad because I love what LaMo has to offer as far as food and atmosphere. I'm happy to order a coffee drink while dining in because I don't have to interact with cafe staff but I've decided to take my coffee business down the street to Cafe Rome if I'm just stopping for a drink. LaMo's coffee drinks are just a bit too sweet, too expensive and unfortunately the "I'm better than you" barista attitude is pervasive among the cafe staff. read more

La Mo Cafe - Valencia- orange and chocolate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Turlock, California

This cute little find is full of beauty. Their outdoor seating area, coffee, food, customer service, and ambiance...perfect.

This is a wonderful local spot. It's a hidden Gem in Turlock. I tried one of the daily specials and wasn't disappointed. The service is very good. The food is amazing! I highly recommend this place. Support the local businesses that's what I say. read more

Cute place. $3.89 is expensive for a small cup of house coffee. Outside seating is great when it is warm. Wish there were more outlets for studying and later hours to chill. That would make the $3.89 house coffee worth it. read more

Loooove La Mo. The sauces are tasty and unique. Very flavorful meals and the service and ambiance is lovely. Everything is good

The food was good in flavor but was cold when it arrived. The service was also a little slow but besides that the experience was nice. The outside dining is very trendy and provides a cool vibe/atmosphere ! The cafe also has some yummy treats as well. read more

The ambiance and food is great but I do wish they had a better system when it came to reservations! Great table service!

Excellent food and ambiance every time. They start with quality ingredients and execution is excellent.

The ambiance is lovely and it's great that I can bring my dog. The wait is often long so you should plan to get there early. And the food is good, but not the most amazing thing ever. It's a little pricey but you're paying for the cute venue and the experience more than anything else. read more

Although there was a delay with the order the first time there, they meet my standards for outstanding food. I had the chilaquilles breakfast which was flavorful, the salsa was amazing, and the second time I had the sourdough French toast breakfast with fresh fruit and Lavender Honey Latte. I returned for lunch and tried their shrimp quesadilla which did not disappoint. Overall, the food is delicious, the place is cute, and the service was attentive so I do recommend this place. read more

I love going to La Mo Cafe. They have the best coffees and brunch options. The staff is always super friendly and very accommodating. The cafe area is also a great place to study and do homework. read more

Tried to get in at 3:pm on Saturday and was told they were closed. They sign and also interest claim they were open for business. Drove into this small town to try them, it is ok, I went some other business that was open. read more

Almost speechless! Their wedding sauce is to-die-for. They should sell it in jars. Any dish that comes with this sauce is an automatic WOW! Mimosa is also priced at $6, which is very fair. Will come back to try other dishes. (Seriously La Mo, sell that sauce in jars!) read more

Brit is our favorite person at La Mo. My wife and I try to eat there weekly to experience their food and drink specials.

My favorite place to get coffee. The environment is really friendly and everything about the cafe is nice. Recommendation(s): Chai Latte Rice Coffee (may not be on menu anymore) read more

I enjoyed brunch at this very lovely establishment with a friend last Saturday. While waiting for a table, we enjoyed the extended Farmer's Market (larger than usual). The wait time was about the time the hostess had anticipated. Our sever was very friendly. Our stemmed glasses needed to be switched out, as one had lipstick residue, and the other had what appeared to be dried orange pulp. One of the glasses that was brought out was wet inside and out. It took a while to receive our new glasses at which time we enjoyed our champagne. The food was nicley presented. My friend asked for the owner because the waitress had placed a 2' x 2' floor fan about two feet from our table and it was blowing up all the dust from the ground which could easily be seen from the sunlit patio and our vantage point. The owner was kind enough to shut it off for "almost" our entire stay. Surely the intention is to keep the guests cool during the summer heat, but it is not okay to blow up dust in a food establishment, least yet--during COVID. I would recommend purchasing misters in place of the ground fans. All-in-all, it was a lovely brunch with beautiful ambience, and obviously, a favorite spot in Turlock. Sincerely, Brunchesque read more

What a great coffee shop! It was my first time in here and I had a great experience. You can tell that the staff really cares about what they are doing and do a great job at making one feel comfortable. I ordered the La Lechada latte and a homemade apple poptart. My sister also got the La Lechada but ordered it cold. This is definitely going to be my new coffee shop! read more

Have been here twice. The first time I was so exited to try this new place, we waited patiently a long time until someone noticed that our waitress forgot to add our order in before she left for break. Finally food arrived, it looked so pretty and tasted delicious!! I ordered the French Toast. However they did waived out honey lattes as a courtesy for the wait. Second time here was better and the food was delish! I really loved their Mexican Mai Tai. Worth the drive from Modesto read more

They are always consistent with excellence, even with Takeout! I'm always so happy eating their food. I've had multiple dishes and they all have been delicious! They make sure presentation is up to par. read more

The staff are so genuinely sweet. So many, if not all of the coffee's syrups are homemade, and a lot of the ingredients in their food are locally-sourced. The location is so dreamy too!! I go to La Mo every week, and it's because I think it's Turlock's greatest treasure. The aesthetic is trendy and so cozy, I feel super relaxed and at home when I am here. read more

Surprising gem in downtown Turlock! The wedding chicken was amazing. In fact, we went back 2 days later to get it again.

I came to visit my sister from San Jose and I was searching for a good breakfast place saw this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed it was better than I expected the coffee was delicious, the food was fresh, and the service was outstanding! read more

Great take on Mexican cuisine with a healthy twist. I bet you don't hear those two word in a sentence often "Mexican" and "healthy." Before you get offended know that I'm Mexican, so I can say that! Any-who their red sangria is great and their wedding sauce is also tasty! read more

The energy from some of the baristas sometimes is so condescending it's off putting. However, the coffee is good and it's the only acceptable option within a 15 mile radius. read more

Coffee was great. Service was friendly. All-in-all, great quality and atmosphere. Chill-vibe and relaxing. read more

Loved La Mo's. The food combinations are interesting and tasty. Not your typical greasy breakfast joint. People are nice, the ambiance is very nice and the food is great. A hat trick! read more

My husband and I went for brunch. He had the Chilaquiles and I had the Wedding Chicken. I Did Not like my dish at all. In fact didn't even finish eating it. My husband did not care for his dish either. Besides that meal we waited 45 minutes to get a table THEN over 30 minutes for our meal. Save your money and your time. Skip this place. read more

Good cafe but they almost always make my drink wrong (particularly iced instead of hot). I've told them before and they remake it but they do make you feel a bit like it's your fault so after I while I've just stopped saying anything because sometimes it's just too early to be made to feel like you're the reason they made it wrong. I have checked my receipts on my phone to assure that I did in fact order my drinks hot. I guess if it's summer time this is the perfect place lol. I'll always have a special place in my heart for la mo but I am ready for another coffee shop to open up in Turlock some day just so the I have the option to venture elsewhere once in while. Perhaps somewhere that pays better attention to their orders. read more
