Across the road we were able to park our long trailer on a quiet street, and sit inside for huge carne asada and chicken burrito. The gigantic mural of Mexico had me mesmerized as I waited to order. Surprisingly our burritos were served up quickly. They got my wife's order right, it's really complex, "please, not spicy!" The guy making our burritos even confirmed not spicy! What luck!! Overall, I'm rating their burrito 11/10 since it was huge and you get an extra point for being good roadside food.

We decided to try this place based on the strong Yelp ratings, but unfortunately it didn't live up…read moreto the hype. We ordered three items: * Chorizo burrito * Chicken burrito * Chicken quesadillas The same lady who took my order was also preparing the food, and she seemed overwhelmed juggling multiple tasks and repeatedly forgetting parts of my order. When I asked for the pico de gallo on the side for the chicken burrito, she packed everything up and forgot it entirely. When I turned back to ask for it, she said it would be extra. The chorizo ended up tasting burnt, likely because she was managing several orders at once and left it on the cooktop too long. Overall, not the best experience. I'd suggest trying the taco truck outside of the Gas station or Subway next to it. They weren't too friendly either. The inside is clean! That's for the 1 Star

Quiet sweet woman behind counter, simple interior. Hubby got Carne Asada Burrito, I got chicken burrito and we split chips to go. 1. Both meats had perfect *chefs kiss* flavor 2. Rice was on point and fresh and fluffy 3. Tortillas themselves were fresh 4. Chips were made on spot and handed to us warm 5. Salsa that comes with burritos is perfect accompaniment 6. Pico de Gallo that comes with chips is classic but they elevated it with roasted jalepenos. Overall, perfect roadside stop in your way to coast. Had to leave a review for this little place that deserves more business. It's legitmately SOLID! skip subway, and get the good stuff.

In California, quite often when I visit small towns, I like to sample the cuisine in the area,…read moreespecially Mexican dishes. I often ask locals of what is the best authentic Mexican restaurants and with the city of Avenal having a large Latino population, the area has a few Mexican restaurants. I decided to try Taqueria "La Piedad", a small restaurant that was a little crowded during lunch time. Most of the locals were watching the futbol (soccer game), while I quickly went in to see how things looked inside and it's your typical small town restaurant. No flashy decor, small town vibe (without looking to '80s). Just a place to order and get some food or place to site back and dine and the restaurant has a good number of offerings including burgers. But I was definitely not there for the burgers, I was there to check things out and so I went for a chicken burrito. Reasonably priced at $6.50. For the most part, the burrito was delicious, but felt that there was more rice than chicken but perhaps that was just me expecting too much. So, for the most part, a good balance of rice, beans and chicken with cilantro. The burrito was delicious but looking around me, patrons were not ordering the burritos, they were going for tostadas and tacos it seemed. But overall, the quick visit to Taqueria "La Piedad" was good and if you happen to be in the area, definitely a place worth trying.

But don't fear, it is open - just say "hello" very loud. This is a small mom and pop shop so the waitress will be taking your order and then making your food afterwards too. Not pictured, we're the tacos and I must say that the tacos were amazing especially the chile verde! Next is the fried tilapia and it was fried to perfection! Very moist with a nice browning. I only wish that it was seasoned with salt. The side dishes were just okay and weren't the best. But, I will definitely come back here to support the business and try other things or come back for the tacos!

It's pretty small with maybe 10 or so seats and some little cultural decorations. The guy at the counter is nice and walks you through the what you're ordering. They have a pretty wide menu and we got the pollo supreme burrito which comes with rice, beans, onions, sour cream, and cheese. The chicken is a chipotle chicken that is tender and flavorful. They toast the tortilla which gives it some depth of flavor. We got it spicy which gives it some but not a lot of heat. Overall, a great spot to get some food on a long ride between NorCal and SoCal.
