I had a pretty good experience at La mo overall. The food wasn't the best, but it was good. I love breakfast burritos and honestly this one was just okay. The service was excellent and I did like that their menu had a lot of creative dishes. The restaurant is pretty big and has like 3 different places to sit which is cool. If you go on a Saturday you can go to the farmers market while you wait for your table.
First Time! Really surprised by this place! Always thought it to be a small hole in the wall cafe that was overbooked all the time! It is far from that! The wife has been coming here on a regular with our dog friend Dreem! She raves about it! I'm amazed at the space, speed of service, and the food selections that are delish! Now that I have been pleasantly surprised - I will add it to the list of places to eat in Turlock!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very good food, cute vibes, great service, nice outdoor patio, adorable cups that were for sale and for a reasonable price! bought 2 of them
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.
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.
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.

My absolute favorite restaurant in the county!! Service, menu, ambience, drinks, etc., can't be beat! I've been going her for lunch and dinner for years and have NEVER been disappointed. The food is incredible, a upscale mixture of south American and Mexican cuisine. Furthermore, this family establishment is warm and inviting and is willing to cater to your needs. I love sitting on the outdoor patio. They often have live music events. Whether your looking for brunch, lunch, or dinner entrees, this is the place. This restaurant puts Turlock on the map! read more

Greeter was rude, originally estimated 40 minute wait ended up being an hour and change. When we asked if we were still on the list she asked us if we wanted to be taken off. Hilarious. They serve you coffee but don't even give you a spoon to mix it, just a fork and knife. Ambiance is fine but nothing special. If you want to wait an hour to eat a ~mid~ $20.50 burrito, this is the place for you! read more

Food was great, service was nice. Coffee was a miss! There's mugs are gross and make the coffee taste awful. I don't think they are coated in the inside. I was too grossed out to order a different coffee. Cute yes, but made the coffee weird. read more

Small wait without a reservation. The cafe is on the street entrance of the plaza and the restaurant is inside the plaza. Food was good but not the best Mexican, the spicy Benedict was their best dish imo read more

Another great experience. We were seated right when we arrived, which was unexpected for a Saturday! All the food was fantastic, though mine was not quite as hot as I would have liked. Great flavors and such a lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back again soon! 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
