Came to La Mo for brunch since the SO and I were running errands in Turlock for the day and I wanted to try somewhere new. I'm really glad we did because I enjoyed our meal. For a Saturday, we waited about 40 minutes for a table. They will text your phone when a table is ready. Their space is an indoor/outdoor courtyard area that I thought was super cute. Except for the flies that were bothersome during our meal. We ordered: Maple pecan latte - this had a nice autumn flavor, but I wished it wasn't so light/had more coffee flavor. Breakfast burrito with machaca - SO loved this and really enjoyed the flavor of the machaca. Also the burrito was hefty, the SO could only finish half. Chicken and waffles - this is only served on Saturdays I believe. Great texture to the cornmeal waffles and the chicken had a good crunchy exterior. I stole the SO's salsa to dip the chicken in. Service was fine - nothing too crazy. The black coffee we ordered had the same taste and consistency of the coffee leftover at the bottom of the carafe after a boring All-Hands meeting... it was definitely strong! Also I wasn't sure on the refill policy on the coffee since the one mug of it cost almost $5. Our total came to about $60, which in this economy is AIGHT I guess. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their other food options. read more

First time in Turlock, had to try out the most popular brunch spot in town. I get why it's busy, but I wouldn't go again unless it was off peak time. Got there at 11am, had to wait about 1.5 hours for a table, even then waited about 30 mins for food. The shrimp quesadilla was good, but felt like an appetizer size. Also, they were out of their pumpkin pancakes (which was the reason we came) The coffee was fantastic though. Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3.5 Marcels foodie score: 3.5 read more

This is a pretty cool breakfast, brunch, lunch spot. Indoor and outdoor seating. Check this out, in the winter time they have outdoor heaters and blankets to keep you cozy. That was a restaurant 1st for me. The food is good. I recommend the French toast and do not care for the breakfast tacos. The service is fine. The coffee was really good. You should check it out. read more

Tried this place for breakfast. Ordered the fr n h toast with fresh fruit. Some of the best French toast I have ever had. The service was amazing. They kept coming by asking if we needed more coffee or anything else. We sat outside in the center area. So relaxing and peaceful. The place filled up quickly though. read more

The ambiance is amazing, but the food is lacking. Came here because of several raving recommendations, they really hyped the spot up so I was excited for the most delicious brunch. The place is PACKED, which is a great sign, we waited maybe 30 minutes or so for a table. There's a ton of seating, multiple seating areas both inside and outside, with the inside areas having wide open doors so it's pretty much like outside minus open air overhead. The crowd is a nice mix of all ages... screaming kids included. The menu is small and it wasn't hard to make a decision- in hindsight we should have looked at the menu first before deciding to eat here. I got the Latin Benedict, fiancee got the chilaquiles and they had the same flavor because they were both over saturated in the same sauce. The regular coffee was pretty standard, the El Chapo coffee was a better choice, but someone's gotta do the driving! I think the experience would have been better if we had gotten some of the pretty and colorful alcoholic drinks, cause all those that had them were having a great time. Glad we tried it, but likely won't be coming here again when there's some much better breakfast choices on the same street. read more

The recent reviews on google about the coffee going downhill is very real and disappointing. I've been coming for years and the last 4-7 times I've come the coffee was very disappointing. ESPECIALLY for how expensive it is. I was having breakfast and had a horrible lattee and was beyond disappointed so we went to the cafe on the way out and I had a different coffee and that one was just as bad... idk wha happened to this place but I won't be back for awhile. Paid $11 for a tiny little kids pancake like it didn't even come with fruit?? Make it make sense... food/drinks are priced wayyy too high for the quality to not match it :/ read more

This place is so good! I wish I lived closer because they do have limited hours. It's a great place for brunch. The food was perfect and I love that they have Mexican options as well. The restaurant has beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. read more

We have been going to La Mo for years. My wife meets her friends there often. The place is solid for the atmosphere. Very serene setting and the owner takes pride in the restaurant. Clean and comfortable. Turlock needs more places like this. A little pricey but that's our life here in California. The food is usually on point and consistent. I had the Chili Rellenos today and they were good but I like my cheese melted. Beans, tortillas and rice were great. My wife had the shrimp enchiladas and loved them. She usually gets the iced tea but said that their tea is weak so she passed. My coffee was strong but good. Love the coffee cups. Our server, Benny, was fantastic. Gave good advice when we were debating what to get. Kept the coffee and water full. We will continue to go to La Mo and recommend it to friends and family. read more

This spot came highly recommend by the girl friend as one of the best brunches in Turlock for one thing, and it's the wedding chicken. Anthony Bourdain once said that if there's something on the menu with cream sauce, get it. I saw that quote a couple weeks ago, and realized it's a rule I've been living by for my whole life. Cream sauce is always the way to go, and the wedding chicken lived up to the hype. Creamy, spicy, flavorful, the sauce makes the dish. It came with chicken, fresh tortillas, rice and beans, and I found it to be really filling. We stared with the queso fundido, and I wasn't blown away by it, and would probs not order again, and just stick with the wedding chicken. The margaritas were tasty and was a refreshing beverage to battle the Central Valley heat. It was busy around 12pm but we were able to get a table in 30 minutes. There was a farmers market outside which made the time fly by. Overall, I'd come here again, just for that wedding chicken. Next time I look forward to trying it as a burrito. read more

The location is probably the best thing about the restaurant. Wonderful outdoor seating on an enclosed patio and open alcoves. Would be a great place for brunch and mimosas. The service is also very good and attentive. Plenty of staff and nothing feels rushed, but I never had to wait for service or the check. The food was a bit disappointing to me, especially for the price. My country potatoes were great, but the chilaquilles I ordered were just warmed chips with sauce in top. The sauce was good, with grilled onions and cilantro on top, but that isn't chilaquilles. The best part of my meal was my coffee. A beautifully made cinnamon and bourbon cappuccino called El Chapo. Would order this again, but the food just wasn't worth it. read more

The service was great but the food was flavorless Got garden scramble with more flavor in the potato then on the eggs and they were a bit burned Potato's needed to be cooked a bit more thoroughly Honestly smelled the burned egg and tasted a bit of both and lost my appetite Chilaquiles lack flavor both red and green had the coloring but not actual taste Queso fundido was okay but the only thing we actually finished I felt out of everything tried I wanted the black beans from the queso fundido more than anything else read more

I have been coming to La Mo for over 7 years and realized I've never written a review for it. Over the years, my thoughts have changed and this is where I stand at the moment: La Mo Cafe - literally would give the Cafe (not the restaurant) a 5/5. The coffee is ALWAYS consistently good. I think from the +7 years I've been coming to the cafe, I've only had one bad drink. I do need to emphasize that they rotate their coffee routinely between roasters. Their pastries are also top notch! Super good and a great variety. The breakfast bagels are literally such an option if we don't want to go to the restaurant. Moving on the restaurant. Ambiance - 5/5 really love the outside patio! It's so nice during the warmer months where is very lively and refreshing to be outdoors. During the winter, it's not so pleasant, but they do their best with heaters. Service - 5/5 in all my years coming here, I've never had bad service. Everyone is always kind! Food - 3/5 the food selection is pretty nice. It's not a diner where there is an overwhelming amount of options, this is a bistro and they are slim on their menu. They do have seasonal/special offering which they'll have throughout the week/season. However, since going for so long, I can now state that their food quality is not where it used to be. A few years back, I would be going every week, and the food never wavered. That has changed, the food is not as consistent as a used to be, and that is why I can't give it a 5. Overall, both the Cafe and Restaurant are great options to try if you're in the area. read more

I usually really enjoy coming to this place but this is the second time I've had bad experience. The first time, the service wasn't so great, customer service sucked. Decided to go there again today. Put our name on the wait list and the girl in the front putting us on waitlist had a lot of attitude and she seemed bothered when I was asking her questions and she would respond with lots of attitude. Try said wait list is about 15-20 mins... 30 mins later we sat down and once we were ready to order food and drinks, the waitress told us they won't take any orders for coffee or tea because the cafe is backed up... so we left without ordering. This should have been something that they discussed prior to sitting us down because we literally waisted 30 mins for nothing. Seems like customer service keeps getting worse. You could do better La Mo read more

Loved my lunch at La Mo last week. Met a friend for early lunch. The restuarant was busy but we were seated quickly. You can choose to sit either in or outside. Menu has many options, I decided on the french toast with fresh fruit and cream. Customer service was excellent, attenative and on it. We were seated close to the kitchen and every time they brought a plate out I was making a mental note to order that next time. Atmosphere was pleasant, service was excellent and food was delicious. Cannot wait to return and try something new! read more

I absolutely love the coffees I've gotten from here. My current favorite is La Lechada. However, I've had breakfast here on a few occasions and every single time my stomach ends up hurting. The most recent time was a week ago when a friend took me out for my birthday and I ordered the chilaquiles. They tasted great but once again I ended up with a stomach ache. I think I'll stick to the coffee from now on! read more

First timers at La Mo, and food is good, hospitality is great. It is a bit pricey. We had two coffees, two sides , 1 appetizer, and 1 stack of pancakes for $75. We would give the food 8/10. Coffee (all made there) 10/10. read more

The food was good, had the breakfast burritos with chorizo. The restaurant has two indoor dining areas and an outdoor area. By the groups of young adults who were there for brunch, it appears to be the in place for a margarita and loud conversations. read more

Good food, amazing coffee! The location is my favorite part. The outside seating area is so comforting, with the heaters and blankets. You do have to wait for your coffee longer than usual at times (we have received cold coffee a few times) So be prepared in case you're in a hurry or looking forward to having it first (as we always are) I understand they have to serve the cafe next door as well, but this has been happening lately. We have been having to get their attention several times throughout our meals (in need of more water, another drink, condiments or reminder of our coffee order) since we have been just served and they're gone. We haven't been going as often as that gets tiring and becomes difficult to enjoy our meals. read more

I would give a 5, but....I get really annoyed sitting inside a place and flies landing on my food:( I was wishing I had a tail soo don't constantly have to use my hand to get them off:( Having said that....Kris.. aka Tina is a 5 star!! Excellent service and suggestions. We came in pretty close to closing and she never made us feel rushed. She's a professional! Food is good. I personally didn't care fore the little block of cilantro rice, but to each his own. Enchiladas were good and mashed black beans. Homemade corn tortillas... who wouldn't appreciate that! I wish modesto had cute places like this. Jelly of downtown Turlock's plethora of food choices and hip relaxing atmosphere. Not one person hit me up for money to sing a few notes of Amazing Grace!! read more
