The caldo de res is the best.. the service on a week day not so good.. they stood in the back and we had to walk up to ask for drinks.. because the employees were just talking for more than 10 minutes. Looking at the reciept I can't believe $6 for a soda fountains.. hopefully better service next time read more

Terrible service. Waited over an hour for food. When I asked if they could sit our large party the girl rolled her eyes. Not once did they come to our table to offer refills on drinks or chips. They didn't even want to take our order and seemed bothered to even take down what we were saying. Never again. Food was a 2/10 and prices were ridiculous. Stay away!! read more

Waited an hour and 15 minutes and never even got our waters refilled. I had to go up to the counter and ask for more salsa. Turns out our waitress, Alondra, never put in our order for two crispy tacos and a small albondigas. ( that was our complete order) went up to the manager and addressed this with her and she said she would check with the kitchen. No Apologies,no acknowledgemet, no nothing. This happened on a Sunday morning at 1130 am. We were a party of two. That was my first and last time trying this place. The salsa was good. Zero stars if I could. They dont know what customer service is. read more

Not sure what to expect, but pleasantly surprised! After reading mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in--but I was pleasantly surprised. I was seated quickly, and my waitress was friendly and attentive right from the start. She handed me a menu and asked what I'd like to drink. Shortly after, she returned with chips and two types of salsa: a red and a green. Both had good flavor--the red had a bit more kick but wasn't overly spicy. The menu layout is a bit odd. There are no prices listed next to the items--you have to flip to the back pages to find them. My guess is this setup makes it easier for the restaurant to update prices without reprinting the whole menu. The dining area had plenty of seating, and Mexican music was playing at a volume slightly above background level, but nothing overwhelming. I had no issue with it--it added to the atmosphere. Throughout the meal, my waitress checked in on me several times, which I appreciated. I ordered the carnitas with a salad instead of rice, and opted for flour tortillas. The homemade tortillas were piping hot and delicious. The carnitas were cooked perfectly--tender and full of flavor. The refried beans were also tasty. The salad came with lettuce, bell peppers, tomato slices, and avocado slices. I expected to be charged extra for the avocado, but surprisingly, I wasn't. They did charge a $1 credit card fee, which didn't bother me--it's fair for them to recoup processing costs. All in all, I'd definitely return the next time I'm in town. read more

I believe this place may be under new management, the inside looks complete remodeled and they also had a spot closed because it was still under construction. Price is on the higher side but the food made up for it. The service was great and we were seated right away. The barbacoa tacos were so good, very tender, soft with a lot of flavor. read more

We came here with our football team after a game. Parking was a bit limited, and from the outside, the place looked pretty small, but we were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of seating inside. We ordered a super quesadilla, a regular quesadilla, and some carne asada tacos. The portions were huge, which was great, but unfortunately, the food didn't have much flavor. I also had a Michelada, which was solid hard to go wrong with that. read more

The service is horrible, went there to eat and never got our drinks or chips refilled while we watched the table next to us get then refilled. Never got checked on once by our waiter and they were extremely unfriendly. Food was good but service is horrible definitely won't come again. read more

I ordered vaca birria and they gave me birria de chivo? It had so many bones and small ribs? It looks like very small ribs size of my pinky. It was weird. I live in Manteca and I didn't notice until I gave some to my dad thats when he immidiatly threw it away and stated that is not vaca birria. I called to request a refund and they said they would not. I am thinking of calling again and speaking with someone else. Anyways I don't eat chivo and she said it was probably chivo? But I cant tell the difference between chivo and vaca? I'm pretty sure chivo taste very different like more sweet? The lady said it was chivo what I got. When I specifically said I wanted vaca. Anyways I hope it was not cat like my dad stated. read more

awful service i wish i would've read the reviews before coming here. i seen a few nasty ones on here how the servers are rude i so agree with them. they're not very friendly. they don't even come to refill your drinks this was an awful choice. i brought my cousin here for her birthday to celebrate and it was a disaster. we ordered food and it took about an hour to get there then when i got my fajitas with the three meats because i told them i didn't want it spicy it had no flavor. the chicken was overcooked. the meat was overcooked. the shrimp was dry and tasteless. i told the server that i didn't want this plate. i want something else at that point i really wanted to just leave, but i was trying to make the best out of it, but i will never ever come by here again and to top it off when i got my fajitas, it didn't come with no side of sour cream guacamole like other restaurants too, so i would highly recommend not to come to this restaurant. it's not worth it and their attitudes and another thing they don't speak english thank god i do speak a little spanish, but imagine people come in here that don't talk spanish. good luck.!!!!! i would have rather went to. carnitas michoacán on mitchell ,, but my cousin wanted to check this place out since it was her birthday. i had her pick the location... she ordered a shrimp plate and it was awful as well. dried shrimp no flavor. what a disappointment. i will never come back to this place again and i will never recommend this place to anybody. save your money and go elsewhere, but don't go here.!!! i give it a- 0000000 **** stay away from this place don't waste your money*** i put a one star because you don't have a choice to put zero stars. they need to have a choice on that as well.!!! read more

For the life of me, I cannot give this place any higher than two stars. They seems to try to squeeze every penny from the customers. They charge one dollar for using debit or credit card, $.10 for every to go containers and $5.99 for one drink. I can see this kind of outrageous charges at a high-end restaurant (like at Hollywood) but not a taqueria. I expect $5.99 soda at Disneyland or Universal Studios or even at food festival but not at a mexican restaurant. There were more cons than pros. No wonder even Google has the most 3 stars. No sweetener (sweet n low, equal, stevia, etc....). First and only restaurant that doesn't offer sweetener. We ordered ice tea and we were served sweetened tea, UGH. Also, their menu was so confusing. The prices were on the last two pages while the rest of the menu showed pictures of their food but no prices. ODD! And lastly their music in the dining room was LOUD!!!! Hubby had to ask our sever several times what she had said. The only positive part about our dining experience was their chile colorado was good and tender. Also it was obvious their tortilla was house baked and good but doesn't make up for everything else we experienced. Will we return? Highly unlikely. Quality of food: B Quality of service: B Price: $$+ Recommendation: review your receipt before leaving the restaurant. there may be unexpected charges on it that you are not aware of. read more

The food was ok. The Menudo has no hominy. The taste was bland. Had to ask for onions, cilantro and red chili flakes. The homemade tortillas were good.The mechialadas were ok. The service was alright. read more

Decided to try this with a few friends. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The service was terrible, we sat with empty drinks and no chip refills until we got our food. I ordered the four enchiladas plate. They tasted like they were double nuked in the microwave and had absolutely no flavor. The rice was lukewarm at best. My friends stated their burritos lacked flavor as well. Then to be faced with a $5.99 charge for a fountain soda was wild! My bill ended up being $30 for absolutely terrible food! Their menu also lacks pricing. So you're taking a shot in the dark in ordering. read more

Food was nasty and restaurant very dirty. I don't understand why they're always so busy! For the price we could've gone to La Parilla which is 100x better! The servers all stand around talking. Will never go back, & I don't recommend! read more

me and my family ordered tacos and soup, waited for an hour and not a single time did our waitress, Alondra, come by and check to see if we needed anything. we ended up leaving without getting our food because they took so long and of course no apology or anything form any staff. the place was not packed either. the manager sat and saw us the entire time and also did nothing to help fix our situation, if i could give a half star review i would. read more

I came here with my family while I was visiting from Houston. We had a party of 9 and they were able to sit us right away. They must've hired better servers who were bilingual because the server who waited on our group spoke perfect English and they checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed and asked us about refills. They also must've listened to the feedback regarding the music because it wasn't very loud at all. It was recently remodeled so everything seemed pretty new. I ordered their tacos de carnitas con papas and they were really tasty. They asked if I wanted shredded lettuce or cabbage on top of the tacos, which was nice. The rest of the group ordered the albóndigas, menudo, caldo de res, chorizo and eggs breakfast plate, a breakfast burrito and the enchiladas with the green chile sauce. Everyone agreed that their food was delicious. They had the biggest and most delicious homemade corn tortillas I have ever had at a restaurant. The rice and beans were also delicious. They reminded me of my mom's cooking. Don't let the bad reviews deter you from eating here. You'll be missing out if you do. I wish I would've taken pictures but was so hungry that I didn't remember to. read more

Everything we tried was very well seasoned. They're easy with customization and substitutions for your dish. And they had GIANT FRESH MADE TORTILLAS!!! Would definitely come back again and bring my family. read more

Food is authentic with loads of flavors. Great ambience on the weekends with live music

Really Enjoy coming here. The food is delicious and the prices are affordable and fair. They renovated so the ambiance is modern. Only negative Is probably the loud music playing a would like it at a lower octave or two. However it's a good place to bring family and friends to eat some good food. read more

We had the asada torta, asada sope, asada tacos, and the puerco con papa tacos... all of them were great! Service was good and the food was great! read more

Sadly, experience is same as many other 1 star reviews on here. The food is just okay, not bad not great. As far as service, it's terrible. And based off all the other reviews it seems to be a frequent problem the owner/manager is willing to overlook. Might as well just have people order at the register. read more

The establishment counts with great traditional plates with great flavor, however the customer service is absolutely horrible. so dicide if thata a dealbreaker for you. read more

I repeatedly tried to give this place a chance. Service is a zero. Flautas a zero. Those were out of a box frozen flautas. They brought me flautas with no beans and rice. Then 5inutes later the rice and beans come. I had a wet burrito and the asada was crunchy like they gave me the last of whatever meat was left for the day but it was 6pm. Every meat I've had here besides the quesabirria was dry. The service is basically non existent. The servers basically walk in circles cleaning and not serving. One girl literally had a towel in her hand acting like she was cleaning after I asked her for cream and water. 2x. Illl give a 2 because place used to be good. read more

Food was delicious and service was great! It gets busy so staff does the best they can. Really enjoyed our meal!

Worst place ever. Who the hell wraps a torta in foil when you're dining in! Came out here for brunch and didn't feel like ordering a big meal so I asked for a carnitas torta with sour cream on the side. A few minutes later the waiter brought out the torta wrapped in foil as if I was taking out. Why??? Where the damn logic in that! In my mind I was hoping for a toasted bread with delicious carnitas and pico de gallo. But what did I get instead? A soggy ass piece of bread with meat. The worst torta I've ever been served. I ate the meat and left their soggy bread on the plate. My companion said I was supposed to ask to toast the bread?!? WTH I didn't ask for a soggy bread and that's exactly what I got! I should've known better than to come to a 2.5 star restaurant. Do not recommend and will never come back. read more

Wow.. to tell me this was worth $50 is insane. 2 burritos and 4 tacos. All asada, not anything out of the ordinary. But 1) no rice and beans to warrant $50.. 2) the tortillas weren't even grilled for the burritos, they were average and honestly taco trucks are WAY better and 1/2 the price. And 3) ONE LIME. For 3 items of food. 3 people. At least if you're going to charge me $50.. add rice and beans or a lime per person. No the price was definitely not worth the meal. read more

Hands down one of the best mexican fast food You can get In this area, I've never went there and had a bad experience.Everything is

This place deserves zero stars. The waitress forgot to put out order in and left, I asked various servers and they all said will check and see, not until way later did one server come and tell us the truth. Than they get angry and won't give u a name for a supervisor. The ppl they hire are incompetent and rude. The sad part is they couldn't even apologize or expedite are food so we left disappointed and will never come back.. I will make sure to tell family and friends and colleagues not to ever go there.. read more

I was hesitant to go because of the reviews, but it was the only place near me that sells menudo on a Friday. I was pleasantly surprised by the service it was very friendly from the second we walked through the door. We had multiple servers check in on us. The food was delicious and the portions were big. The hand made tortillas were huge and sooo good. I ordered a michelada and it's honestly one of the best I've had in the area, Even my picky husband loved it. The only thing I can add that was a bummer for my old butt but it's definitely preference the music was too loud for my taste. read more

I like their food, it's very well-seasoned But their prices are equal to a gourmet restaurant which they are not!! Mexican food to most is supposed to be tasty and reasonable. They have the tasty part right but reasonable has left the building. We would most likely have eaten there 2 to 3 times a month. Even though we can easily afford it, (We both hate the feeling of being gouged), we will probably just go there a couple of times a year or maybe not at all! read more
