The nachos were soggy with 90% refried beans (I thought nachos were mostly chips and cheese? Where was the cheese?!?! ) I remember when Frank used to run the restaurant and his wife would cook--Those were the good old days. Unfortunately, I'm writing a review because this has once again been a below par meal we've had from here and may not chance our money here again. Sorry Frank, but it's just not the same place we used to love when we started going 23 or so years ago. Anyways, I wish the best of luck to you guys. Please strive to take this place back to its original standard.

We've lived in Ceres for over 10 years and can't believe we're just now discovering this spot;…read moreseriously, don't sleep on it. This place is an absolute gem. We've ordered a wide variety of items from the menu, and every single thing has been incredible. The carnitas are hands down some of the best we've ever had--perfectly tender, flavorful, and with just the right amount of crisp. And the burritos? Huge, packed with quality ingredients, and bursting with authentic flavor in every bite. You can really tell they care about what they're serving. Everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with consistency. It's rare to find a place where everything you try hits, but this is definitely one of them. If you're in the area (or even if you're not), it's absolutely worth checking out. This is going to be a regular stop for us from now on. It's so good I forgot to take pics of the food!

Came to Taqueria Mi Bendicion because SO was craving some sort of loaded fries and they had nacho…read morefries on the menu. They are a pretty new establishment (at least based on the number of reviews) in Ceres, and is across the street from the Home Depot and Grocery Outlet. The inside is lined with booths and a few tables in the center, with a lot of warm terracotta vibes throughout. When we arrived, it was particularly smoky from an apparently really hot plate and it left a hazy fog around the whole restaurant when we sat down at our booth lol There were also several annoying flies during our meal that brought my rating down. We ordered: Nacho fries - The fries on this were more reminiscent of home fries/breakfast potatoes as they weren't really crispy, and more soggy. The asada and guac was plentiful. Overall this dish did its job of satiating SO's craving. Tripa California burrito - This wasn't bad at all! It came with a really good hot sauce. I could have taken shots of it (and I did). The tripa was pungent yet crispy. The fries had the same texture as the ones used in the nacho fries. Before our food came, in-house diners receive a basket of tortilla chips and salsa and their version of 'curtido' (pickly cabbage slaw). I especially liked the freshness and crunch! Service was good. The dude was super nice, although I think he missed my order of a horchata as it never made it out. I brushed it off as a sign that I didn't need an additional sweet drink with my meal :) In the end, I am glad we tried a new place. But I don't know if it is close enough to us for it to be a regular spot.

If disappointment had a flavor, it would be the fajitas at El Charro…read more I ordered fajitas expecting that classic sizzling, seasoned, mouthwatering experience. What I got instead was what I can only describe as lightly warmed, paper-thin sadness. The meat was dry, completely unseasoned, and so thin I'm pretty sure it qualified as deli meat. I've had better flavor from airport food... and that's saying something. No sizzle, no aroma, no personality. Just a plate that looked like it gave up halfway through cooking. Service? Let's just say it matched the food--uninspired and forgettable. The only positive is that this meal actually helped my diet because after a few bites I had zero desire to keep eating. So technically... thanks for that? Would I come back? Only if I needed a reminder of what fajitas are not supposed to be. 0/10 for flavor 10/10 for reinforcing my self-control

Ordered this on Door Dash, so review is solely for food…read more And. It. Was. AMAZING!!! I got a Carnitas burrito supreme. First bite was juicy and delicious, and then the spice hit me! My lips are still burning as I write this, but I'm a big wuss when it comes to spice, so that's not a bad review at all. My sons got a carne asada burrito, carne asada tacos, chicken tacos, and a horchata. The carne asada burrito was apparently spicier than mine, but he loved it. And the tacos were apparently fine, but nothing to write home about. My son said he should've gotten a burrito because it was so good. And they liked the horchata, though they said it was a little thick. Not sure how it's supposed to be, but every drop got drank! We were all starving so couldn't get pics before we ate it all.

"Silence of the Shrimps"…read more By Dr. Samibal Schlecter One fine day, Samibal was getting hungry for animal protein, and started eyeing his co-workers. Alas, they were way too fat, and high in saturated fats. He also needed to stay out of prison and to try to behave himself. He then leaped into his Sami-mobile and cruised along Tully Ave., looking for protein. Samibal's goal was to get the local M.O.A.B. Burger ASAP, but the traffic light went first to Yellow and then a bright Red, which foiled his diabolical plan. While waiting at the light, he somehow spied a new Mexican restaurant in his left peripheral vision, and rerouted his synapses toward investigating this new & improved goal. The Sami-mobile silently slid into a nice & close parking space. He got out and walked silently toward the door, all the while, snapping iphone pics to document this culinary discovery. Samibal entered, and was immediately surprised to find a clean & bright interior, with over a dozen clean tables, and a big counter sign, that abounded with zillions of choices. He scan the menu for tasty protein & decided to try to go with a "custom" seafood choice. He asked if they could do a Shrimp/ Fish Combo Wet Super-Duper-Burrito with both sauces on each half, and they did not even bat an eye, while saying "Yes". They better say "YES" to good old HUNGRY SAMIBAL! "Believe me, you don't want Samibal Schlecter inside your head." Samibal took a seat while they silenced the shrimp and fish, and stuffed their bodies into a huge burrito, which was partially buried in both green and red sauce. After about ten minutes, the waiter appeared with the generous plate, and Sami took a Yelp pic or two, and then a bite. "YUM, YUM, EAT UM UP!" said Samibal! but, his pulse never got above 85, even when he ate... Sami was very pleased with the Super-duper Burrito, but the Shrimps were less pleased, and he thought he could hear the little screams of the Exoskeletonless Arthropods, as they slide down his gullet. The Super-duper Burrito has a nice kick to it, but it was less than a donkey's , and more than a tree shrew's. It appeared that this was far tastier and healthier, than any of his co-workers. It was also comforting to know, that it is quite legal to eat almost any member of the Arthropoda Phylum. The Subphylum Crustacea and subclass Malacostraca are the best for Sapiens. He also noted, that the chairs were almost brand new, and had very cushy butt-loving pads that almost seemed to cradle his ample posterior. A comfy butt seems to be critical to the enjoyment of a Super-Duper Burrito. Sami also enjoyed the extensive menu which also included some funny jokes, such as: 1) Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. 2) I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain... Sami says! Go to Taqueria Y Mariscos but beware of the Silence of the Shrimps :) ....and please remember that Shrimp are really only "Sea-insects", complete with exoskeletons, antennae, and an open circulatory system (ref. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crustacean ). "I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye!", Dr. Samibal Schlecter P.S.- Taqueria Y Mariscos is right behind Modesto Junior College, and is in a small plaza next to the Off Campus Bookstore, two Haircut places, and a rather bland unremarkable "Oriental" restaurant. The location was a Pizza place before this. This Taqueria has relocated from 1341 Coldwell Ave., where it was formerly called El Marisquero. P.S.S.- They also have a big selection of bottled Mexican & Domestic Beer, as well as, three beers on tap. They do have a limited Salsa Bar, but the chips & fixins are good. The tables, chairs, & decor are new or remodeled, and are in great condition. It is a casual dinning place and is not "date-worth"...but it is "lunch-worthy". It could possibly be the "Best" Mexican food closest to the Downtown Modesto area...and is only a 5-10 minute drive from the Downtown area. The prices are quite reasonable for such good quality & quantity. Note: A rather loose homage to the great Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs"
