Honestly best Mexican spot around! Food is always great, cooked well, and great service. The even have really amazing vegetarian options!

Food was delicious, and the server was amazing! So kind and very welcoming and attentive. Beautifully decorated.

Not sure where the "fine" comes in, I didnt think the menu was all that fine. A couple of large parties were there that night so that slowed down the process and wait times were long. So what happens endlessly baskets of chips and salsa. I had the fajitas, other friend carne asada and my sister had tacos. Again nothing special. I love Mexican food and I don't think the food lived up to the name of the restaurant. It is a table service restaurant that hands out a fork wrapped in a paper napkin. Again, I am confused with the name of the restaurant. The server was very nice and alerted us that the food was coming. Value wise, at $110 I would have expected more. Lastly, I mentioned they had some birthday celebrations going on, they have something going with that, but one party had these sparklers going off and it was a nuisance with all the smoke as we were eating our meals. If the server had more time I would inquired about the significance of the name of the restaurant. The chips were tasty along with the salsa and cabbage. read more

Went here and got a steak chimichanga. There was maybe a tablespoon of steak max. And to fill it they put an inch think layer of cheese. When I said something to the serve she said, "Sorry." With an attitude and did nothing to fix it. Didn't even offer to get me a new one. Won't be back. read more

Gabbi was the best server ever. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back!!!

Zero stars. Came with a party of 4, was sat down at a table immediately. 4 workers were observed helping other customers and waiting on their tables. No servers ever came after about 15-20 minutes-No drinks, no food, no service at all. We got up and walked out in front of 2 workers and no acknowledgment at all. Hard to recommend at all if the service is non existent. Hopefully the restaurant management improves for the future customers and their business. read more

Tasty food, service is excellent, clean and very nice ambience. The staff if friendly and attentive. Great place to take the family. Their location is easy to get to. read more

I returned last night (went for the first time in Jan.) 15 min before 9 pm on a Tuesday and wasn't sure if we'd be seated but thankfully did. Rafael was the best server for me and my non English speaking dad! Our server was kind and understanding and didn't rush us even though I knew they were closing up. The STREET CORN ENCHILADAS with Shrimp (if you don't like spicy food then don't order this) were so GOOD I will be back a whole lot sooner just for those! This place is super cute for pictures/aesthetic but thanks to Rafael's recommendation I can recommend this place more!! read more

thank you gabby for making our first time a good one! thank you for the recommendation - the tacos de papas & shrimp were so delicious. we emptied our plates! in addition, this place was really pretty in the inside read more

This place was absolutely delicious- i ordered the caldo de pollo and it was very hearty. It came with huge chunks of vegetable, the meat fell off the bone. But my favorite dish was the garlic butter shrimp with diablo sauce. It was the perfect amount of spice. Service was okay- the server was attentive but a little bit slow to grab our orders. Also the playlist was bumping read more

Tesoro is an upscale Mexican restaurant. The space is nice, furnishings are nice, the strip mall it is in is a bit sketchy and the overall vibe is that they are trying hard. Service is good, and about average for this level of restaurant. Prices are on the high side in relation to the 400+ other Mexican places in this area - BUT - the food is great which brings the value home. We have had several things on the menu, but our go to is the sol y mar. This dish is thin sliced chicken or steak filets (or both) with grilled shrimp, rice, beans, garnish and fresh tortillas. The thing that sets it apart is the sauce. You can choose between a few, but the Jalisco sauce is one of the best sauces of any kind I have had. It makes the flavor of everything pop. The sauce seems to be butter based, perfectly spicy and has a lemon pop to it. Kind of like a spicy Hollandaise sauce. The chicken is tender and spiced perfectly. The beans are standout. The rice is good. The shrimp were well prepared. Salsa is really good. Chips are average. Sol y mar with one meat will set you back $23 - add 5:for both meats - but the chicken is the standout. Try it. One of my favorite dishes anywhere - the Jalisco sauce makes it incredible. read more

This place is sooooo good! I need to come back again, I keep thinking of the enchiladas mixtas! The service was great, we had a good waitress, it was packed so it took a while to get our order but the food was so good my irritation went out the door! read more

FOOD: I honestly forgot to take pictures of my food. Since I was starving by the time we sat down. I ordered a shrimp dish. It had a reddish sauce that was delicious. I also enjoyed the rice and beans. The guacamole could have been more spicy. That's just my personal preference. The michelada was good with a modelo negro. Perfect coding of Tajín around the rim. ATMOSPHERE: I went during 7pm. At this time the atmosphere is more sociable. They do have mariachis during this time. Birthday/anniversary celebrations going around the entire restaurant. SERVICE: We had a reservation at 7:30pm. We weren't seated until 8:50pm. Three parties that arrived after our party were sat before us. Due to a miscommunication with the host. We mentioned to her if it'll be okay to get a drink at a bar while we wait for our table. That would have been ready in 15min. When we went back to ask the host about our table. She had sat another party instead. Since she thought we wanted a table at the bar. After that 2 other parties were sat before us knowing the situation. It wasn't until we mentioned, we would leave that they sat us down at a booth adding tables and chairs too. WAITRESS: She was very kind and checked on us frequently. Even to let us know our drinks from the bar will take a little longer than expected. We even got a surprise anniversary shot. She knew how to separate a check of a large party with no issues. Enjoyed her service. PARKING: There's enough parking spaces. It's a large plaza VEGAN: None of the main dishes are vegan. You can order side dishes like rice, guacamole beans etc. read more

Walked in and got greeted by a girl with the NASTIEST attitude. Asked me if I had a reservation and I said no. She then proceeded to tell me that she needed to check in with the hostess and see what she could do about it ? We sat and waited for about 15 minutes.. the girl NEVER came back. NOBODY checked up on us or anything while we waited. We ended up walking out and the girl by the door said absolutely nothing. Weird af. Never coming back. read more

I placed a takeout order and went to the counter to pick it up. As I arrived, the server realized she had accidentally handed my order to a DoorDash driver who was leaving the restaurant. She ran outside, retrieved the bag, and attempted to give it to me. I declined to accept the food since it had already been in another person's possession. The staff repeatedly insisted that I take it and questioned my decision, even asking if they should "just throw it away." I calmly explained that I was not comfortable taking the food and requested it be remade. After speaking with multiple servers and some back-and-forth, they eventually agreed to remake the order, but the interaction felt argumentative and unwelcoming. Even though the staff acknowledged the mistake was theirs, they made it seem unreasonable to ask for a remake. I understand mistakes happen, but the way the situation was handled especially regarding food safety and customer service was disappointing. read more

Weather we eat in or take home the food is plentiful and tasty, as are the adult beverages. This Mexican food is so good we end up at Tesoro's once to twice a week. Not always to eat but meet up for drinks w/friends which sometimes we order meals to share. Service is good, ambience fun, occasionally mariachis show up n play. read more

Went to Tesoro's for the first time yesterday and they greeted me very warmly like a home, they sat my family and me right away. The waitress recommended the Para de Tesoros which was an amazing chicken dish with shrimp on top with a nice kick to it, they also offered us homemade flour tortillas and they were delicious with the meal. I'd 100% recommend this place to anybody who comes to Turlock, CA. read more

You can tell that everything is made with care and pride. Tesoro's isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. Whether you're looking for a fun night out or just craving real Mexican food done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend--we'll definitely be back! read more

Oh boy.... Where to start... Service was awful, like awful, awful... Food was decent, drinks were just as expensive and watered down... bummer, server clearly couldn't have cared any less about our party... it was quite clear we were in for a mess when they pointed and said head to the back and didn't seat us, we had to ask for drink menus and they legit brought one, to one table, for our party of 15 people... so we each got to ask for more and they brought a few more out after awhile... Chip baskets & salsa were constantly empty, along with our drinks... (we had a 3 baskets for our 15 person party size and when we asked for more, again they brought them one at a time)... at the end of the night, we had to get up and ask for the check, the server had me wait for her to close out another table and take them their check, and then came back and printed ours. I would NOT recommend this place, that's a BIG NO. It was a mess, two thumbs down. And if sucks cause there was so much potential... but the young lady was quite clear she could care less... as her tip was already included due to our party size, so she didn't need to work for anything in her mind... what a trainwreck. Service fee? For what? There was no service, we sat our self, served our selves, had to request every little thing... TERRIBLE services but in all fairness food was decent. Maybe takeout wouldn't be horrendous... read more

Service was very slow and the restaurant was not too busy. We arrived about 11:30 and the few people at tables were eating. They came to us after about 15 minutes. Again not busy. Took our order and we received our food 30 min later. We were told the plates were hot. Mine was cold so I'm assuming it sat in kit he. For a while. The food was ok but I'm sure it was because it was cold. It also looks like and is served like a restaurant where I live. Down to the flower on top! I don't think I'll go back here again because of the long wait. Which is to bad because it is a cute place. Very clean too. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Great server, very friendly! I ordered Camarones a la Diabla and my partner ordered an asada plate. Delicious but the portion size in my opinion wasn't enough. My partner finished his plate within 10 min. My shrimp were very small . It was filling but I got hungry 2 hours after leaving the spot read more

This place is a vibe!! It is very cool inside. Surprisingly lots of seatings. They give you yummy chips and salsa.. and yes, the salsa is good! The menu is super good as well. I was deciding between two items. I ended up choosing the chipotle enchiladas and I was not disappointed!! I'm really weird about my chicken.. if I get a chewy piece I'm like done. But their chicken is so well cooked and delicious. Highly recommended! The customer service was very good as well. No complaints at all. read more

Chicken fajitas were bland and had little flavor. The churro dessert was horrible. Ice cream was icy and hard . Seemed outdated and old. Overall the presentation and service was decent. Won't be eating here again though. read more

We met with our good friends here for late lunch. It was everyone's first time which was good because no one knew what to expect. We got there at around 230pm and there were several tables that were occupied. We got seated right away and ordered our drinks and food. I ordered 2 flautas (Carne asada) from their Ala carte menu. My boyfriend ordered the wet burrito (pollo). I was expecting a small flauta but here at Tesoro the flautas are HUGE. I should have ordered just one. My order came with green sauce, Pico de Gallo, sour cream and guacamole on top. My order was flavorful and had the right balance of everything. My boyfriend said that his food was good too. The serving was a lot as well. The prices here are reasonable. The service is superb. I forgot our server's name but she went above and beyond and made sure that we had everything we need. She would always check up on us. We will be back here again soon read more

We picked this place because it got lots of stars on yelp. You cannot blame a place for the strip mall that it is located in. That's on the ownership of the building, but we almost wanted to keep going. The outside of the restaurant is the best thing for entire strip mall, and that's the end of my positive review of this restaurant. Flies flies flies, we had to fight them the entire time. The staff walked around like they were not bothered by them. We had not ordered and had to constantly shoo them away, should have gave us clue to leave. The Black Diamond Margarita is one the worst over priced drinks I've had in a long time. When the waiter came and asked me if I liked the drink I told him it was terrible but I drank i anyways as it was so expensive. When the waiter asked me did I want something different, I asked for a beer since they were not replacing the drink complimentary. I will say that the Black Diamond Margarita was tasty , like a soda, but you could not taste the Don Julio. I thought the black salt made it a sexy drink and will find some of that to use on my drinks. I wanted to order the crab enchiladas, I asked the waiter if it was imitation and he said he thought that it was. So I ordered the Alaskan enchiladas with shrimp and green sauce. I meant to order the black beans but he never asked if I wanted something different so I did not want to deviate from the menu. My shrimp was slightly chewy and some had the tails on! Not a great way to eat an enchilada when you have to pull food out of your moth to take tails off the shrimp. My husband ordered two steak enchiladas with red sauce and one chicken enchilada with green sauce again he wanted black beans it was never asked for an option. Said it was good but portions was too small. Overall the aesthetics is very nice bathrooms are fairly clean and staff is very friendly. I love love love Mexican food as much as I love fried chicken and do not mind traveling to have something worth the drive. This was not worth the drive. read more

Recently just went here and the food was not good at all we couldn't even finish it. Tasted like it was fried in old oil and all the food that was fried tasted like old meat. The service was good and they were fast and nice, but the food was so horrible we couldn't even finish it and neither of us could eat any of it and we still ended up paying for the whole meal after telling the waiter we didn't like it. Got the margarita flight and it was cute but overpriced for the smallest margarita with barely any alcohol.... read more

Ordered take out on a weeknight. Food was average and prices were on the higher-end, AND it felt like running a marathon to finally get my order right. It took going back to the restaurant three times to get what I originally ordered. They forgot an entire entree and drink the first time around. That is a hassle I don't want to repeat again, so sadly will avoid going back and try other Mexican restaurants in the area instead. read more
