My favorite place to eat in Turlock! The food is always so delicious and so fresh! The wait is usually pretty long but that's understandable because everyone and their mother is trying to eat here! Can't recommend it enough if you're in Turlock for just one day this is the place you should eat. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Turlock. They're always so friendly, they're good and coffee is consistently great. Plenty of vegetarian options which is nice, and they try to use local and seasonal produce. Really great cafe, highly recommended! read more

Words cannot describe how thankful i am for staff. I lost my purse in the restroom today and was very upset. Staff members were so attentive and caring. They later called me to let me know my purse was found. What a huge relieve. So thankful for all staff members including Gloria and the owner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

This is a great place to come for a good cup of coffee, great atmosphere, comfortable indoor and patio seating. The riced coffee cold brew is a great choice, cool and refreshing. read more

Great place to have brunch. The waitress' are on top of their game! Everyone was very friendly and the food was great!

Their chicken enchilada soup is so yummy and the environment is super cute and welcoming. Love coming here.

Omg! Cutest little hole in the wall.. beautiful little restaurant tucked in the corner. I had the healthy burrito, loved that they use veggies from local growers. And my favorite part... they offer prayer on Monday mornings!! Amazing! & they're mimosas are on point! read more

Great Coffee and excellent pastries. I met the pastry chef Myranda. I ordered the Peach Tart on her recommendation. It was delicious and beautifully made. It was so tempting I forgot to take a picture and ate it all up! They had scones and other pastries as well. read more

Been coming in here for quite a while. Never posted a review. For the record, best espresso in Turlock.

They have the cutest barista with blue hair!! I am so in love with their lemonade and bagels. I cannot wait to go back!!!!

Love the latin Benedict. Absolutely amazing for brunch. Also i had their seasonal fig and cheese quesadilla abt a month ago and that was exceptional! Too bad it was obly around for a short time. Love sitting outside on a beautiful sunny cool morning ! Clean, good service and delicious food!! Oh and they sell their wedding sauce!!!!! Had a GF blueberry scone from the cafe.....SO amazing Thank you La Mo, thank you. read more

Food is always good, unfortunately usually a wait time to get a table but always worth it! While you wait they have a joint coffee shop you can visit. Also antique shops/boutiques around to window shop while you wait for them to text you that your table is ready. I like that the menu is familiar dishes with slight twists, so picky eaters can find something they like but at the same time it won't be a dish you could get just anywhere. Vegetarian options are good especially for brunch. Very vibrant and cheery atmosphere with both the inside and outside seating. Great for instagram photos. read more

Hands down the best restaurant in Turlock. I have wanted to try this place since they opened. Not only was the food amazing but it was a wonderful atmosphere. Perfect twist of traditional Mexican food with Latin flavors infused. Loved that they had Gypsy Kings music playing! I had the chilaquiles and they were amazing. My new favorite restaurant. Thank you La Mo for exceeding my expectations! read more

See all

Went here for breakfast and it was amazing. The coffee, food and ambience are top notch.

Unfortunately I have to give one star as I cannot go lower. I am shocked at how things went today as I have been here several other times and gave either 4-5!stars. So, let's hit on what went wrong and why you need to evaluate coming here. Let's first start off as i do have food allergies and one of them being celiac disease. I've been here before and came across no issues. This time the attitude of the person who said she was an owner was that she could not accommodate me. Now I have eaten all over Turlock and other locations where this was no problem. The part that threw me for a loop was how rude she was about it. Even my son who is very laid back said this is horrible and let's leave. The so called owner said all of our food is prepped a week in advance and we cannot insure cross contamination. Ok. But prepped a week in advance? Who wants to eat somewhere where the food has been prepped out that far? Fresh? I guess not. In other words there was nothing to review food wise as the service was below one star we got up and left. What happened to this place???? read more

After sitting and ordering, relaxation took place and I felt like i was on another continent. Menu items vastly different than the norm, tropical but elegant decor, worldly music, great vibe. read more

Total satisfaction! I am so glad my gps led me here. I am particular but not impossible to please. La mo Cafe provided excellent service and turned average French toast into something wholesome and exciting! read more

Favorite coffee shop in town. High quality coffee and a wide variety of Rishi tea. Excellent lattes with unique, aromatic ingredients. My favorites are the Turkish Latte and Valencia. Most importantly, service is perfect. Wonderful job of making people feel like part of a respected community rather just another customer. Strongly recommended! read more

This place is terrible!! The one star is only for the artsy atmosphere. The service is bad and the food... Well not impressed. Went for dinner and they made us wait while they sat people who came after us without a reservation.....wow. Very slow service. Then Went for brunch to give them a second chance, this time with a reservation and still made us wait 25 mins while others got seated without one. Ran out of potatoes and had to get up to ask for silverware and coffee fills. The chilaquiles were like breakfast nachos. No third chance. read more

My wife and I have always loved La Mo for their incredible breakfast and lunch fare and have always wished they served dinners - well, last night our wish came true as we learned that La Mo is now serving dinners on Thursday and Friday evenings. We visited with another couple and all ordered different dishes. The Wedding Chicken Burrito that I ordered was wonderful with large pieces of chicken wrapped in the burrito topped with an incredible sauce that had a very unique and mildly spicy flavor. While it may be Mexican food served at La Mo, by no means is it your typical Mexican fare. From fresh, healthy, and often locally grown ingredients, to unique sauces and combinations of tastes, the dishes come to your table arranged in an attractive setting. We couldn't resist trying a dessert, so my wife and I ordered Sonja's Flan Cake. WOW, a rich chocolate cake topped with equally-rich flan, drizzled with a caramelized sauce and topped with light whipped cream and berries - my mouth is watering as I describe it here! The service was prompt, efficient, and you definitely receive very good value for your dollar. I can't wait to return. read more

Menu variety and uniqueness is a pleasant surprise in Turlock. If there is any question as to what you should order just get wedding chicken or wedding prawns and be prepared to have your tastebuds delighted. Sangria is fantastic and seasonal mixed drinks will entertain the soul. Ask for the Nutella & Strawberry crepes they are da bomb finish to a LaMo dinner! Open for dinner again please read more

Seriously one of the best Cafes in the world. The staff is friendly, their drinks are fantastic. I know this place already has a bunch of reviews, but they deserve a bunch more. Thank you La Mo!!! read more

This place is amazing!! Everything I look for in a brunch place for the weekend. Great selection of hot drinks/coffees and a delicious menu of well balanced dishes that combine an equal amount of great flavor with a small hint of decadence. I love Mexican food so this place is a hit in my books. Their salsas could use a little work, but it's okay cause I understand why their not spicy. Extremely long wait so plan ahead to come early cause they don't take reservations on the weekend. Will definitely come back!! read more

Love La Mo. What I love most about them is from a creativity standpoint. It's evident that they're not complacent. They stay on the cutting edge of coffee drinks, seasonal menu items, and even their displayed artwork. All the while, providing a quality product and efficient service that you can rely on. Such a cool, inspiring atmosphere... Creativity begets creativity. read more

I am hesitate to give this place one star because the cafe has great quality food. My friend and I look forward to the coffee once and a while. But today's experience was HORRIBLE!!!!! We pulled up and there were (not kidding) 30 homeless people hanging around. We didn't think much of it until we sat down and began enjoying the food we paid for when we noticed that the shop was giving away free coffee to homeless people. I am all for giving to the needy, but I felt this was a little unfair as I just paid $12 for a coffee and bagel. A man was trying to enjoy his coffee outside and got in a small argument with a few homeless people because they were smoking right next to him. He clearly had to back down because more homeless people came over to argue. To top it off, my friend and I had to pack up our breakfast and coffee to go because one homeless person smelt so bad that we couldn't even enjoy our food. The looks on other paying customers was the same as ours. I wanted to talk to management but it was a bunch of young kids working. If you see a bunch of homeless hanging around I do not recommend going in. If there isn't, the cafe could be a lovely experience. read more

I love his place but every time I want to go it's freakin closed!!!! They always have some weird thing going on with their hours or there's an exception. The hours listed on here aren't right. Apparently they temporarily stopped doing dinner now, so it's only a lunch place now ..... CALL MAKE SURE THEY ARE OPEN read more

My favorite place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and get some homework done before and after school. Go La Mo.

Food is delicious. Definitely try the Wedding Chicken...one of the best I've ever tasted. Like that they've "fancied" up some of the dishes- eating outside when the weather is nice is a definite plus. read more

The wait is ridiculous, that's how popular it is But there is also stores meant to kill time We asked for an inside table but they gave us a table next to the heater since we were waiting so long maybe more than 35 min Took my mom out for breakfast for her birthday We first ordered tea, water and I also ordered a hot chocolate from the cafe which is awesome And it tasted awesome Anyhow it was so cold outside but they also have blankets for people to use I ordered the wedding chicken My mom ordered the two tamales with salad and then also chilaquiles The wedding chicken was okay, not great. Beans and white rice that came along with it were okay. There was also a bit of greens on the side which I asked for a side of avocado to eat it with which was nice. I posted a review a long time ago that they shouldn't put greens on top of hot food. So I was glad it wasn't on top I tasted the tamales my mom had which weren't that good. I liked the the salad on the side had strawberries We asked for hot salsa and that actually tasted good with the beans and rice The chilaquiles were okay, not great the red sauce isn't that great. Had to order egg whites because my mom has diebetes although the fried tortilla chips in the chilaquiles are bad for her too But she said she liked her food either way I wouldn't mind coming back again Healthy choices in the menu too read more

This place is so beautiful! Straight out of Sunset magazine! Hospitality experts! What a great place. Great food, great staff, love everything about it! you absolutely must check this place out!!! If I could give it 6 stars I would. read more

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

I used to live a few blocks away. Then I moved and this place is what I miss most about Turlock (other than my friends, of course).

Well for some reason my first review was deleted. so I'm adding it again... My husband and I called to make a reservation since we were really wanting to try La Mo after seeing it down town by accident... The place is very quaint and the outdoor garden area is where I asked to be seated. The waiter seated us right away but I had to request another chair.. There were many outdoor garden styles to choose from so the second one was better for my back than the first which was plastic. We were asked if we wanted chips and salsa for the table which we agreed. They were a charge but we would have been ok with that, but the chips were very dry and hard; I actually had one poke my throat when I swallowed it. My husband ordered the chili relleno and I ordered the quinoa salad which was on special; I asked for the option to add chicken. The waiter said that the chili relleno's were pretty decent sized so my husband ordered one but should have ordered two since it was the size of a jalapeno pepper... I will say that the flavor was great but he was still hungry after eating it; I think they should make 2 the standard instead of an option. My lunch came and they had forgot the chicken; the waiter went to the back and came out with chicken immediately. It obviously was already sitting on a plate cold and not cooked for me; it was also dry and under-seasoned. We were so undewhelmed and hungry after our lunch since the portions were tiny; I would have asked for a refill of chips but they weren't worth eating. We mentioned our disappointment to the waiter and he offered to bring us a "free dessert".. I have to say the dessert was awesome; it was a piece of choclate cake with berries and whip cream and a carmel drizzle... Yum... The desert would be the only thing I would go there for; it's a lovely place, they need to make some changes to the food though! read more

Ok so I get the good reviews about the place . La Mo has an excellent garden ambience and is a hit with the locals. The food was presented with attention and flair and it looked good. The only thing missing was enough seasoning. Maybe its the health food kick that La Mo strives to cater to, but to me all the food lacked some salt. Now you may as well comment "well why didnt you go ahead and just add some?" . Well I usually like to taste the food the chef has in mind first so that I get an idea of his/her palate. The other thing that was a little off was the laissez-faire attitude of our server. She forgot that we had asked for the tamales, and I guess was too hungry to check up on us after the food was served. We saw her eating by herself with her back turned to us for quite a while, so we had to ask the other wait staff to re-fill our drinks etc. That usually means a 10% tip in my book and thats what she got, Overall a good place for lunch, and for what I guess is healthier mexican food, but I think Mi Casa is still my to go place for Mexican. read more

This place is just "ok" in my opinion. Maybe it was just what I ordered that wasn't too impressing. I ordered the chicken enchilada and it was extremely dry and very bland. On the small side too for the price I paid. Also the waiter didn't seem to be too professional at his job and didn't receive any refills on my drink either. This was my first time here and I don't plan on coming back. Slow service and was just expecting a lot better! read more

My significant other has a gluten allergy. We go to La mo to have gluten-free treats, without fear of cross-contamination. I cant tell you how many places say "gluten-free" but still give him reactions. Coffee is great too! read more

Fairly healthy, but rather meager portions with little flavor. Service has also been exceedingly slow. Been to La Mo three times, but will not go back again. I MUCH prefer (in Turlock) either Mundo's or El Jardin for Latin/Mexican food... read more

Def the coffee spot to go to around here! The coffee is really good, the atmosphere is great, and the baristas are very nice. The food they have is pretty yummy too, especially those lemon tarts. Great place to get a coffee and read or do whatever! read more

Not what I expected. All the reviews are great so I was definitely excited to try this place out but I didn't like the food. The wait was long and we were seated outside when we had requested an inside table. I wasn't able to enjoy my food with all the Flys and bugs flying around my food. The food didn't have much of a flavor and it was pretty pricey. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

One of my all-time favorite spots in Turlock, for brunch, lunch or dinner! You can go wrong with any of the menu specials, or pretty much anything on the menu. My personal favorites include the pumpkin pancakes or huevos rancheros for breakfast, or the wedding sauce shrimp enchiladas for lunch or dinner. I also love their kale salad -- the homemade dressing is AMAZING! Zesty and spicy. You can't go wrong with anything here! read more

The oatmeal pancakes are super yummy... The Endless memosas are legit... So my brunch experience was delightful, rofl... Seriously :-)
