Excellent food, fantastic service, and very nice ambience and atmosphere. Drink menu was fantastic and had a really good selection of traditional Filipino food and barbecue staples. One of the best new spots in Modesto that I've tried. read more

We tried this new Filipino-Spanish fusion restaurant for lunch and I was delightfully surprised by the flavors!! I ordered the chicken empanadas while waiting for the paella which usually takes 25 min to cook and prep. The empanadas were so light and crunchy and the dipping sauces were just a blast esp the green peppery one. The paella was authentic Fil-Spanish reminiscent of my grandparents' home cooking and rivals that of Intramuros resto. My husband ordered the sweet sticky spicy adobo and oh my!!! Both chicken and coleslaw just a great combo! I also had their Ube Pain cocktail which was a Filipino rum mix and also very delish. We will definitely come back and I do recommend this place. Ambiance is very cute but classy as well. Love the carabao mural in the front entry read more

*SIGH* Let me just start out by saying that I REALLY wanna love this place. SO MUCH SO, that I tried calling to place an order today AGAIN after my previous experience with long wait time and piss poor service. I called today right at opening and even inquired if it would be a 30-minute wait for food. The staffer on the phone indicated that, yes, the wait for food would be about 30 minutes...which was fine this time around because I had prepared myself for this. Today, I wanted to order 4 things: Bossa Mossa Empanadas, Lumpia, Paella and Pork Belly Adobo. I started listing off my order with Lumpia and Paella....I was immediately stopped in my tracks and told that the restaurant was out of Lumpia AND that the restaurant does not make Paella on the weekends until it's closer to dinner time. I was told that only brunch items were available. There is NOTHING on the menu or website that indicates this to be the case. Actually, when I went to the website to consider ordering online, Paella WAS AN AVAILABLE OPTION @ 0900. I wonder what would have happened if I had placed my order online instead. I decided not to get my meal from this place today. When I hung up the phone, I cupped my palm to my forehead with disappointment. What else can I say..... read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Risotto Cakes - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Was really looking forward to trying Cora at Roseburg because we loved the Divine Swine but kept hearing from friends that the service was very slow, and the food wasn't great. Unfortunately, I was moderately disappointed. I ordered the pear salad, which was excellent (perfect amount of dressing) and the sweet potato carrot empanada, which was good. My husband ordered the ribs which were very good. It was a Friday night and they only had two beers available, which neither Favorable to my husband. I specifically came in tonight for the pumpkin spiced hot drink. But unfortunately, they were out of it. They were also out of a couple of the menu items. The servers were friendly and attentive, however, service was a little slow and it was not busy. I hope things improve as I would love to see them become a favorite of mine. I will give them another try. read more

My wife wanted to sit outside and enjoy a mimosa. I ordered the corned beef hash. OMG! Legit, from scratch, perfection! Equal to the best I have ever had. Very much a neighborhood vibe. 4-5 well behaved dogs quietly on the patio. Perfect weather. Will do this again real soon. read more

Cora just rolled out their breakfast menu and it's a must try! I really enjoyed the corned beef hash plate and I had to try one of their pancakes. Food is authentic and definitely worth the visit!! Excited to see what the future brings to this menu as they're just getting started! Cozy restaurant with plenty of room for big parties and nice bar top to hang out and have some drinks. read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Corned beef hash with an amazing remoulade sauce. Side order of one blueberry pancake! Espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Be sure to ask if the item you are ordering is spicy . My husband's chicken sandwich was too spicy for him to eat. I love spicy food so we switched meals and even my mouth was "on fire" . read more

Went to Cora to what is was all about. The food was next level. It gives any fine dining establishment a run for their money. The portions were unbelievable, the taste was off the charts. My wife had the Ruben sandwich and I had the paella, we could only eat half of our entrees. The service was excellent. Cora is a hidden gem. The restaurant is so clean. We were very impressed. Don't miss out on this amazing restaurant. read more

Great little neighborhood restaurant with a menu full of fresh ingredients. The jalapeño salsa is fantastic!!! Service is friendly and the bar drinks are creative. For the Bloody Mary, I'd suggest a little less ice to allow the garnish to sink in and add flavor to the drink. We will definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

WONDERFUL, full service restaurant that all must try! This family-owned, tradition-based restaurant has both unique and traditional fare with a Spanish/Filipino twist. Both My Reuben and turkey sandwiches were loaded with thick, tender, flavorful meat. The Risotto cakes, smothered in mushrooms, were the hit of the meal. And if that weren't enough? Cora's adds a much needed "craft" cocktail bar that is as comfortable serving beer and wine as they are a Mai Tai or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned. Open for Breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. My hope? Modesto embraces Cora's and rewards its owners and staff for decades to come! read more

Been here twice, both Sunday afternoons. First time, server took our orders, but getting the food took quite a while. And the restaurant wasn't crowded. Maybe three or four tables occupied. I had the No Mercy and it was delicious, but would prefer a different kind of bun. It didn't seem to work with the awesomeness of the sandwich. The ube cocktail was unique and refreshing. Second time, we received our food much quicker. I had the chili and it was very tasty, but quite spicy. Definitely worth trying. I wish they offered more Filipino style main meals, instead of pricey appetizers. All in all, food was good. Service was fine. Will be back, for sure. read more

I love this restaurant! Us girls go here for our girls night out. The food is so good and beautiful. My favorite is the Big Paulie sandwich. The drinks are tasty and the bartender is so nice. Must try the Red Sangria. The waitresses are sweet and attentive. Cute and calming place. It's nice to have a chat and hangout with friends. read more

I went with a friend for lunch. She has already been a few times. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the ambiance is pleasant. read more

If you want an incredible (and likely different than you've ever had!) meal and drink in a very comfortable but classy place, then you need to try Coras!!! I told my husband, as I was eating a sandwich that was finally done right, That had I known there was so much food, we could have shared!! So glad we didn't though. The leftovers made a wonderful breakfast!! Now, let me tell you about the ribs my husband ordered. OMG!!!! If you've been trying to find good ribs in town, we'll, here it is!!!! Melt in your mouth goodness, very unique and delicious sauce!!! Beautiful outdoor seating too!! Check it out!! You won't regret it!! read more

Delicious food. Glad to have something new in town. Be aware of the menu said VERY spicy, they mean it

Very nice atmosphere. Walk in great. We order , waited almost an HOUR to get our food. Small place, but very loud! Like a sports bar. But there aren't any TVs in there. Finally got food. It was picture nice! And Food was great. Got our bill. And left. Servers knew we were waiting a while for food. A manager should have came to apologize and offer something. But didn't receive that courtesy. There are other places in Modesto with great food, with BETTER customer service and similar prices. I will go there next time. read more

You can't go wrong with anything here. We've been fans since it was Divine Swine. Drinks are perfect, especially the cranberry white sangria. Ordered a latte that was served with a biscotti cookie on top. For our meals we had brunch, the Bobby Boucher eggs Benedict - incredible. The Chicken Fried steak was the best I've ever had. Had to try the empanadas as well, it was our first time trying the veggie ones and they were unique and very tasty. This will now be our go-to brunch spot. Service was quick, and staff kind. The ambience is very cozy, loving the dark wood and colors in here. We'll be back! read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Latte & Cranberry White Sangria - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Food was really good and well priced. It was a nice stop on Saturday right after a stroll at the farmers market nearby. Will do it again

So we went back for a second chance. Out of 2 appetizers - burnt ends and pork belly. Cheese appetizer had good intentions but the jam was overpowering and the sou vide garlic was maybe ok. The blackberries were soggy and flavorless. The chicken legs were dry and overpowering with flavor of soy. The slaw was ok. Entrees- took 1 hour and 20 mins to arrive. Burgers were good again. Vinaigrette was not balanced -- to vinegary. Chicken salad I was told was "ok". Read into that what you want. The spicy chicken sandwich was also dry and the whole sandwich lacked balance. Great try - but spice for the sake of spice. One waiter and a bartender for the whole restaurant. She really tried. She could not succeed because she was alone and no manager or owner to help. So, after 2 visits in a week -- i think I will pass on a third. Overpriced, under delivers, and slow slow service. read more

My friend and I met for lunch at noon on a Wednesday. I waited a good five minutes at the hostess stand, waiting to be seated. The service was beyond slow. We placed a very uncomplicated order. We waited, and waited, and waited. At 12:47, We asked about our order. We were unapologetically told that there were a couple of orders ahead of us, but ours should be out soon. We replied that we needed to leave very soon and would appreciate it if we could get it soon. It finally came out about 12:51. We were told it was because they were "so busy ". I counted less than 20 people in the whole restaurant. Do they really expect that people on their lunch break will wait 50 minutes to be served? This was our third (and last) visit to Cora. read more

Went today for dinner and the food was absolutely amazing, food came out hot and the flavors were on point. I got the no mercy chicken sandwich and it was incredible just the right amount of heat, boyfriend got the drifter hamburger and it was delicious as well and we split the chicken empanadas that were so incredibly light with the delicious sauce on the side for dipping. Peach sangria was refreshing and yummy. The ambiance of the restaurant was excellent with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor and the staff were friendly and attentive and you could see they care about the place and their patrons as well. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, we're looking forward to going back and trying even more delicious food. read more

I went with 2 other people and we all loved our food! The menu is different than most restaurants around; different and delicious. The only problem that caused us discomfort was the ac was not working well and it was a very hot day. They had a very small, inadequate portable fan. Apparently they had a room in the back that was cooler. The only other thing is the benches in the front room are very hard and uncomfortable. I think some waterproof pads would help. We will definitely return to try more things on the menu! read more

They're still REALLY new since switching over from old ownership and the Divine Swine, so I am hopeful that it'll get better. But it was meh. They were out of a lot of their signature dishes, and the servers didn't come out and say that right off the bat, so we got our hopes up. Service was friendly, just not quite polished and "on it" yet. What we did order was pretty under seasoned and bland. Otherwise, they need a few more food options on the menu, maybe 2 or 3 more (including 1 more vegetarian option) Cocktails were pretty good, just took some time, but again they are new so I'm sure that'll get better with time. I hope they work out the kinks! read more

The price outstand the food quality... Sad to say in a year or so this play is going belly up as the other 2 establishments...

We love going to Cora's, especially for brunch. Hands down the Classic Benedict offers the best hollandaise sauce I have ever tasted. Every time we go to the brunch we try something different to share. The Tipsy French Toast is crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. We always bring our out of town friends and family to Cora's to share the delicious food and drinks, especially the Bloody Mary with the maple, jalapeno bacon. Great place to enjoy the food and friendly service. read more

Cora restaurant in Roseburg square was wonderful. We had breakfast with amazing Bloody Mary's. Food was delicious. The breakfast burrito was so good we will be back. Open 7 days a week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

Heinous service. Took over 20 minutes before i asked where our our drinks were. They admitted they hadn't even stared the drink order. Once we got the drinks only two of three beers came. The food came right after but alas, only two of three burgers came. We reminded them there was a third. Another 20 minutes goes by and the waitress comes to check on us and realizes there is no burger. Comes back again and makes up some bull shit excuse so we just canceled it. And the burger wasn't even great. Never coming back. read more

Was very excited to try this place since it's in the neighborhood. We loved Divine Swine, so we really had high hopes of this place remaining our go-to spot to eat/drink. Unfortunately, the food tasted odd... I had the Jabba G's ribs and fries, and my husband had the paella. They only thing we really ended up eating were the fries. However, the service and staff were really good. I hope things improve, we would love to try again, but as of right now, it's a definite no for me. read more

We walk the Virginia Trail near Rosenberg Square and saw a new restaurant called Cora and noticed they recently started to serve breakfast!! We were very pleased with the breakfast choices we made as they were very tasty and so delicious! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try this place!. Everything was fresh, you must also try their specialty coffee with buttery sugar spice! The service was very friendly and attentive as well. The ambiance is very nice too! read more

Great service and food. We had the lumpia for starters. Very good. We had the chicken empanada and the drifter. Both cooked to perfection and well seasoned. I would definitely recommend Cora's. The atmosphere is a bit noisy but not bad. The usual decor from previous restaurant so it is comfortable and inviting. read more

A friend said if you go to Cora's definitely get the Empanadas. OK, YES! Absolutely delicious! Next time the ribs....if I can pass on the empanadas!!! Roseburg Square! Go people! read more

The food was delicious. Loved the risotto cakes. Would love them better with a light cream sauce rather than a brown gravy. Also had a delicious pear praline salad. Would have loved more pears. Peach Sangria was absolutely delicious. Service was VERY slow. There weren't very many people there for lunch but it still took an hour and a half. It took almost 20 minutes just to get our cocktails when we arrived. I do love the friendly service and will definitely go back. The menu looks very enticing and want to try more!! read more

The food is delicious here. The big paulie, bbq ribs, lumpias, and all appetizers are all great hits. They also have a solid selection of spirits. Ambience is more upbeat and family friendly due to the seating arrangements. Normally sit at the bar and staff is very attentive. The service for folks sitting could improve but hopefully they pick on that being a newer establishment. read more

When you first walk in you're greeted by a beautiful mural and live succulents with unique woodwork in the waiting area it's quite beautiful. Delicious and unique food options as well, loved breakfast and their coffee is one of the best in Modesto they use chicory which gave it body and more flavor, came back for dinner and was surprised at how much we loved everything, will be coming back again! 10/10 for service, ambiance and food! read more

Cora had a very nice " let's meet for drinks " atmosphere. Waiters were friendly. My wife and sister-in-law who are Filipinas were disappointed with the menu. The lumpia was still frozen in the center and had to be sent back. The chicken adobo was an "appetizer " more like a hot wings flavor. So we settled for The old Devine Swine menu, pulled pork and barbecue spareribs. read more

Food was on point. Waitress / host was very nice and attentive. Definitely coming back for more.

First time we went it wasn't very busy but the bartender stood behind the bar and talked to the waitress folding napkins across the room so loud that we couldn't enjoy our dinner. The second time I went with a friend and it was busy but also so very noisy that I could not hear her even though she was just across the table. Maybe eating outside would be better! read more
