Their coffee is overrated. But I will say there breakfast sandwiches are good. But, if you get there 1 minute past b-fast time, your out of luck... no matter how far you drive for that damn sandwich 'hint hint' . . Dont come at me for having an opinion alright. !? read more

Somebody please tell the chef a pinch is a pinch of salt. Salty sauces very disappointing but the place is nice and bottomless mimosas are great when you got a good bus boy. Presentation is great sauces suck read more

The food was alright , but the owner really overstepped herself . As I'm feeding my 3 month old baby in her car seat on a big chair that they gave me to put her on this lady decides to pull the chair an car seat to move it out of "her way" (there was room to go around a table beside me) my baby was strapped in her car seat but the chair they gave me did not have support. My daughter almost fell! & could've chocked while I was feeding her her bottle . idc if ur the owner where are your manners !? NEVER going back again . This place is NOT KID FRIENDLY. They don't even have a changing table in the bathroom but a wooden bench in there like seriously ‍ read more

Great food! Love their salmon with jicama salad and tortilla soup! Easy to do take out. Friendly staff!

I've gone a few times.. Here is a honest review. First "atmosphere" is nice in the evening ( summertime). If you go at night for a coffee and dessert, the patio is strung with lights and is nice. During the day the same patio is nice too but you have to battle the flies. Tables are cute but some iron chairs are hard and may not be ok if you have back problems. Next the "food"... even though they are a Latin inspired place, they do not give complementary chips & salsa, we ordered it and the chips were so hard and dry that one scratched my throat going down. They plate the food nicely! The portions are not big so if you have a big appetite order enough food. I ordered a single chili relleno plate and should have ordered two, the pepper was not a full sized Pasilla chili but the size of a Jalapeño. Wedding Chicken was delicious and they make a lovely salad with fresh peaches in the summer time. It's not only beautiful but tastes awesome.. I gave 4 stars because it's a romantic evening date place and the desserts are nice with coffee... read more

This is an amazing restaurant, With good service And great food. Love the Mexican wedding chicken burrito.

Usually love La Mo but this time my food was soggy and cold :( disappointing, after almost a 2 hour wait it was not worth it

The venue is ideal because you can eat al fresco. Other than that it's nothing special. The food was way to salty and the service is sub par. Once we were seated, I asked for a glass of water and the person said "that's not my job." Everyone who was eating there acted like they were dining on Melrose. However, I could tell by the looks of them that they probably hadn't ever done that. My tacos were so soggy and salty that I didn't even want to finish them. The plating was awful and the service sucked. This is one of those places that I would give a ZERO. read more

I loved this place! The atmosphere is so cute, and the employees are really accommodating and friendly. I got the fingerling potato scramble but with quite a few alterations and they didn't make it seem like it was a bother at all which really goes a long way. The scramble was so delicious I was pleasantly surprised! The iced coffees took a while to reach our table after we ordered but no biggie, and they were yummy! If I was from the area I could see myself becoming a regular here at La Mo! read more

I just spent $95 at La Mo for 2 adults and 3 kids. That is pretty steep for Turlock, but I'm willing to pay for good food (ah, but the pain in my wallet when it's not good). The menu was intriguing and exciting, lovely dining area, dish presentation was nice. The wait staff seemed like they weren't very familiar with the menu, and we were neglected most of the time. The short rib was tender but the mole was bitter and flavorless (the menu boasts a berry sauce). The sopes shell was crunchy but the meat was dry as jerky and used throughout every other dish. The tamale ($5 ea) promised homemade Masa but it was drowned in green sauce and the fillings were bland (tried a shrimp and a jalapeño/cheese). The wedding Seafood entree was the only good thing we got, and halfway through we realized the salmon still had skin on it, even though it was swimming in sauce. I have been hearing good reviews since it opened. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I don't mind paying the price for great food, but this was a complete let down. read more

One of my favorite restaurants everything about La mo is great. The food is well done and delicious they have a great staff and the atmosphere is wonderful. If your looking for a nice spot to brunch, have breakfast or lunch this is the place to go read more

Small portions and food is just average. Too pricey for what they serve. I prefer going to El Charo a couple of miles away.

Their coffee tastes so much better than the popular drive through. Their pastries are authentic and delicious

One of my favorite places to relax and enjoy coffee, desserts, and welcoming atmosphere. It's a family-owned business worthy of your money.

If I was on death row... their wedding chicken would be my chosen last meal. Everything that comes out of their kitchen is delicious and full of flavor! The atmosphere of the cafe and restaurant is always so welcoming and happy. Love everything about this place! read more

The food is amazing. I highly recommend getting the chilaquiles and la lechera coffee if you're having breakfast here. If you care a lot about atmosphere than this is great for you. The outside seating area is very open and very nice. My favorite place to eat in Turlock. read more

This place is awesome. I love the environment and the outside sitting. The food is fantastic. I had Wedding Chicken and half of the Jamaican Salad. My wife had the chilaquiles and my daughter had the Mickey pancakes. I recommend this place. read more

I used to frequent this place all the time between 2012 and 2014 when I was a lowly undergraduate student at CSU stan. It had great grub that actually digested well and didn't leave you needing water the rest of the day. Nice environment as well. Peaceful and quiet. Visited today for the first time since 2014 and it was like a turlock hipster convention. Much different vibe. Felt like a place to be seen rather than enjoy some good chow. They told my pal and I it would be a hour wait and they would send me a text when something opened. 6 hours later and no text. Followed up after 1.5 hours and they said 20 more minutes. So much for that... This place has some special memories for me however it has definitely changed. If one is looking for food and isn't worried about being perceived as cool and hip as well as getting a solid Instagram picture I would go to somewhere on west main. read more

I love coming here after yoga--Warrior Yoga, which is an excellent studio by the way! Anyways, the staff is always pleasant and friendly and the drinks are delicious just a little overpriced in my opinion sometimes. But, they have seasonal drinks that are always tasty--I loved the pumpkin spice latte in the fall and the London Fog made me a believer of tea. Although I love the variety of pastry options, the ones I had were tasty but not amazing. I had a scone that was kinda dry, a muffin that was good and a few other things that were just fine. If you are looking for a local place with some vegan and gluten-free options, then here is a good place. Overall, I would (and do) return for the atmosphere mostly, but the coffee is pretty good too. read more

Always great for an afternoon caffeine jolt and pastry when working in downtown Turlock!

They have great customer service, and the owner the sweetest. They have pretty good food.

Amazing service and food. Vibes are immaculate. Totally worth it. Patio seating is exceptional to try with a date and in the middle of a gorgeous Downtown read more

I love this place! I really like their breakfast and brunch options! I usually get the latin benedict or veggie scramble. Their seasonal pancakes are always delicious! The staff here is very friendly and attentive. They also have great coffee and treats at the cafe. I also love the London Fog drink. They have many gluten free options! My favorite place on Main Street :). read more

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to Yosemite and even though it made the drive longer I have NO REGRETS. The food was amazing and the espresso drinks were delicious as well. We ordered the huevos rancheros and sourdough french toast plus a side of toast which came with house made strawberry jam. For drinks we got the spicy mexican chocolate drink which had espresso as well as the dulce de leche latte (sorry can't remember the names!), both were so cute with their latte art and tasted amazing. Definitely worth the stop even though it's a little bit off of the highway. read more

Probably one of the top three restaurants in the Turlock area if you're able to get a reservation I would not miss this place

We wanted to have breakfast in Merced but our favorite place was closed, so we headed up to Turlock to check out La Mo for the first time. A hidden gem (literally) tucked inside a corridor off of Main Street, it was beautiful outside with all the plants and shade, and we both loved what we had. My friend had the breakfast burrito and said it was the perfect size (plus it looked delicious with the avocado), while I gave in and ordered the sourdough-orange french toast. It's dipped in an orange liquor and topped with creme fraiche and fresh fruit, and it was AMAZING. Also, this place knows how to perfectly cook bacon-- just well done enough. I was so impressed that they use organic local eggs and locally roasted coffee. Service was friendly and prompt, and we will definitely return to check out their dinner menu! read more

I took my Mom here for brunch Mother's Day, we didn't have a reservation and it took a while to be seated, which I expected. We were seated outdoors, it was a cool morning but one of the girls promptly asked my Mom if she was cold and brought her a blanket. A nice touch, plus it's my Mom, so I appreciated the gesture. There were three people in my party. Mom ordered the veggie omelet, Dad got the breakfast burrito and I got the flank steak w/chimchurri sauce. I also ordered a plate of french toast for our table to share because I'd read all the reveiws about it lol. Veggie Omelet/Veggie Scramble - Mom loved it! Breakfast burrito - had nice bright flavors but the citrus in the guacamole was overwhelming after a while. My flank steak w/chimchurri (or some type of red sauce on the side) - Meh, I wasn't impressed. The meat was cold and the sauce was rather bitter. The french toast was AMAZING - but I was searching for the orange flavor in it - still very good! The atmosphere was inviting, homey & beachy. For whatever reason it reminded me of being in a beach town. I spent about $60'ish, maybe more??? Update: 10/6 - I was later sent a "compliment" from one of the co-owners basically saying I posted a fake review. Errr... nice PR lady?!!! I stand by my original 3-star rating because of the service I received when I took my parents out. I'm glad I didn't take my daughter there for french toast last weekend. That being said, there isn't anything on the menu that I tried that can't be recreated in my own kitchen. I certainly won't return to the establishment, especially when a co-owner intentionally went out of her way to be snarky to me over a review based on my experience there, I guess "A" for effort on sabotaging your own business... read more

I'm not really happy with my first visit here. The jicama salad was dry. Hardly any dressing. The chicken enchilada had more veggies than chicken. I had to look for it. The chicken tortilla soup was loaded with dry canned chicken. I have to say the food looks better than it tastes. No refills on drinks. I will give it a second chance as I believe you should give things a second chance. We'll see...... read more

Food is always good here, but the service is so, so slow. We went on Saturday morning at 10. After we were seated it took 10 minutes for someone to take our order. After ordering it took 55 minutes for our food to come and when we got it, it was cold. This is just unacceptable anywhere! read more

So ecstatic to find this place. My wife and I recently moved to Los Banos from the bay area, and this week was our 13th wedding anniversary. We were on a budget, so couldn't do much more than dine to celebrate, but I wanted to make sure that we could at least have a really nice place to dine. I went with this place, a bit out of the way from Los Banos, but the mass of five-star reviews won me over. To say I was not disappointed, would be a shameful understatement. We were absolutely blown away by how awesome this place was. Every bite was fantastic, and the service was excellent. Even more, the wait staff actively cooperated. If a waiter, not ours, noticed we had a dessert menu sitting out, she'd ask if our waiter had taken our dessert order yet, and pass it along. We shared a bowl of the tortilla soup (which comes as a brothy chicken soup, to which you add the tortilla strips and everything else, choosing what you want to go in - but even just the broth was amazingly good, I don't know what they put in it), and I got the enchiladas with wedding sauce (which is as good as everyone says it is), while my wife got a classic taco, and a shrimp taco, both of which were excellent. When dessert time came, we decided to get the tres leches cake and the caramel flan, both of which were exquisite (I think what really makes it for both of them, is the thick, almost frosting-thick whipped cream topping). We left very, very happy, and will definitely look for another excuse to come again. Please note that they only serve dinner two nights out of the week (as of this writing). Also, I was unable to make a reservation over the phone, as no one would pick up (I tried at different times on different days), but I was able to make a reservation over email (and they said they'd check their phones). read more

This restaurant was awesome! Great service and great food. Was busier than I thought it would be for the middle of the week but the fast service was definitely appreciated! read more

I came to the farmers market and we happened to walk by this cafe. Hoping to find a new mocha spot. We walked in and the menu appeared enticing so I ordered the mocha. Wow this mocha didn't fall short, it fell off the earth. It tasted more like a coffee, not a good tasting coffee with a tiny bit of chocolate and whip cream. This was such a bad mocha, that I took about 5 sips and tossed it in the garbage. Money doesn't grow on trees but I just wasted $4.25. The smore cookie was good though. This is why I gave it two stars and not one. I won't be returning. I had high hopes for this place. Too bad. read more

Where can I start? First off, I am always at La Mo. I am probably one of their regulars. I love everything about this place, from the people, to the beautiful ambience and of course, the FOOD. It's not your average Mexican food place. It's different. For breakfast, I normally order their huevos rancheros plate and for lunch and dinner I always order shrimp enchiladas in EXTRA wedding sauce. Their wedding sauce is so creamy and delicious! Also, don't forget to try out their appetizers. The Regular is pretty awesome because you get to try a little bit of everything. Their thick corn chips are perfect with their guacamole and salsa and I'm not even a big fan of guacamole. I also love when they make their Mexican hot chocolate... Yum... Anyhow, you've got to try this place if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed. read more

I just can't get enough! I got a sangria and sat there. Then had another and sat there. Then another and sat there some more. Then another and sat there. Then had some chips and salsa and sat there. Then another sangria and sat there. Then ate a burrito and sat there. Then had a sangria and sat there. Then had dessert and just sat there. Then went home and sat on the couch and just sat there. Then went to bed but I tried to sleep but couldn't so I just sat there. Then finally fell asleep and woke up The next day and just sat there. read more

I feasted on a my selections of Cochinita pork, chilled summer squash soup and a casaba cocktail drink. Lovely patio area with fountain, friendly, efficient staff. Everything was delicious with beautiful presentation. I will plan to return on a future occasion. The only thing that kept this from 5 stars was gritty salad mix which was served as a garnish on my the plate with the cup of soup was served on. Since this was a garnish I didn't need to eat it. I mentioned this to my server and I would expect that the greens were washed again. read more

Cute lunch/dinner/brunch spot in Turlock. Came here for a girls' dinner. We all ordered the wedding chicken (based on the yelp reviews) and it was pretty good. I had it as a plate and another friend had it as a burrito--options! It was definitely filling and healthy, meaning it wasn't greasy or heavy feeling at the end. We also ordered a carafe of sangria ($15) which was a good deal. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would be back to try the other dishes and their brunch. The service was decent. There was a huge party going on in the opposite room but nothing too distracting from the service. Nice that you can reserve one side for a huge party/event. read more
