I came across this spot on my hunger adventure and I wasn't disappointed, the workers here are truly friends and at the end of the day the staff here were amazing. I ordered the torta and it was by far the best I've ever had, the soft yet crunchy torta was mouth watering and the meat was of good texture!! I recommend 20/10 this my new spot!!

I really wanted to like this restaurant especially after i found out it is a family run business:( gosh.. this is a hard one.
i ordered a cheese enchilada w/red sauce. And crunchy chicken taco meal. my friend ordered 2 chicken enchiladas w/green sauce meal.
Chips were good, however... the salsa was sooo watery. I gave up eating because i like big scoops of salsa on my chip and it literally ran off and splashed table and my sweater each time. one of the girls serving was on her phone talking into it on speaker as she was coming out yo the tables so loud i heard her ask about a christmas party

I feel very sick right now and was looking for a Mexican chicken soup and I couldn't be more grateful of everything that it came with and I asked for. Very delicious taste like my mom's!! Thank you!!!

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to! Even the rice was perfect.. I don't usually eat much, but this was so tasty I got extra and took it home. Everything was handmade and fresh, from the guac to the Chile relleno sauce with just the perfect fire roasted tomatoes....

Such a nice prompt server, but the Chile Relleno was horrible, it tasted old (like not freshly made or even same day), mozzarella cheese is not Mexican. Rice was dry and not flavorful. Sauce also lack flavor. Sticky tables. It's very likely we won't go back.

Thank Goodness the chef was at least wearing a mask. The other staff, however, were completely maskless. It's uncomfortable to be served and have to be within 6 feet of someone who doesn't care about the mandatory mask orders and obviously doesn't value the health of their customers. We almost walked out, but the saving grace was the chef that had her mask on. Friendly dudes working there, but no regard for health and safety of the public.

You can keep your salsa. I will never return for a chicken tostada ala carte or anything else.

For years I'd drive by this restaurant and never considered giving it a try ,I decided to give it a try and was satisfied .

The chicken / shrimp plate had a lot of flavor
The rice was cooked good ,not too mushy but had a nice texture
The taco's were good,I'm definitely coming back to try more items on their menu

#9 was good, good and spicy just how I like it. We also had the Chile's rellenos but it was salty and not stuffed with cheese like they normally should be, might give them a second chance next time in Modesto.

Thought we'd try this spot after reading the reviews. Hmmmm, no bueno. The owner (?) was nice enough, but the food was bland and tasteless. I had shrimp in a cream sauce with rice and beans. No flavor. Husband had asada fajitas. Again, no flavor. Wine margarita was ok. Chips and salsa, ok. We've been experimenting, going to different Mexican food places, trying to find something different than our usual La Parilla in Riverbank. Guess we'll keep looking. So far Tesoro's on Tully has been our favorite new find!!

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is great! Try the rajas de camaron. Lots and lots of shrimp, plenty of creamy sauce, yummy flavor! Picture below of the late.

Was the best I've had in a long time. Today was my first time there and I WILL be back! Good prices and wonderful service. They kept my glass full and kept checking to see if I needed anything else. I don't know their names, but the gal said she worked there on Wednesdays. I will definitely return and bring more friends and family.

Best Chile Colorado and Chicken Mole ever. The flavors in these 2 dishes are wonderful. I haven't tried any of the other dishes yet, but I will one day when I'm not craving my mole or Chile Colorado. Their food tastes like it's all from scratch. Many Mexican restaurants in Modesto have gotten too big and their quality has gone down.
