While the food looked amazing to eat I was abruptly interrupted by an unwanted guest (a hair) found at the top of my plate I can't imagine the food safety is managed here if this is something that can occur on a weeknight. Be wary of your food before eating. Training in hospitality and food safety would go a long way at this establishment. El servicio al cliente en este establecimiento puede usar un poco de entrenamiento de cómo responder a la gente cuando quieren más salsas px se les acabó en la bara fría de salsa y cuando uno trata de utilizar a lo máximo que hay disponible se enojan los trabajadores si no tienen más que ofrecer de salsa no se enojen con la gente cuando traten de agarrar de lo poco que hay de ofrecer. Cuando quería disfrutar mi comida agusto me interrupio un pelo en el plato no podía pasar el pensamiento de la seguridad de comida en este restaurante si esto ocurre entre semana. Trabajen en su modo de hablar al cliente y la seguridad de comida y vemos si merece una revista mejor.

And Chili Colorado like no other. And increasingly harder to find. The building and the relics on the walls in the big hall in the rear speak of parties and weddings from long ago. And the name "Paicines" originates in the Spanish adaptation of the name of the Paksin tribe native to that wonderful valley lush with oaks and acorns and fame and the river that even had salmon runs long ago.

My husband had a huge craving for tacos and so i went on door dash and found this place. Let me first tell you it's not like a traditional restaurant, but there is seating. Kind of reminds me of a place we stopped to eat on our drive down the coast in Mexico. In that the family is all cooking they are super friendly, and we felt welcomed. We played fetch with the dog while we waited, was a little bit of a wait since the tortillas are hand made but worth it. The host is super friendly. Most importantly the food. I had a shrimp quesadilla, I was expecting what i typically get when I order a shrimp quesadilla which is cheese and shrimp, but let me tell you this was so much better. Hand made corn tortillas, fresh pico and avocado, my gosh it was also huge! I ate that thing up in a matter of minutes! My husband got the asada tacos, they were just as good. For the price, this is going to be our new taco spot for sure.

Usually I'm one for a super burrito with all the extra fillings but we decided to split a regular so we could really taste the carnitas itself. So glad we did because it was so flavorful. Very smoky which both of us liked a lot and wasn't dry. We also just loved how kind and accommodating the woman at the register was. I was craving a cold horchata but they cycle through agua fresca flavors and didn't have it today so she let us sample the triple berry cheesecake agua fresca and it was delicious so we got that too.

Everything I've tried has been delicious. I usually get their sushi and Tostada De Jaiva. Yesterday I got the carnitas tacos... oh my goodness they were hands down the BEST carnitas tacos I've EVER had. The corn tortillas are handmade and the carnitas were fresh and tender with a little crisp, AMAZING. I don't think the people of Hollister know, but they serve breakfast too. I wanna be selfish, cause I know there will be a wait once people find out, but I also want them to keep serving it cause it's so good. My husband usually gets the Huevos Rancheros, I get Chilaquiles Verdes w/ Cafe de Olla, and my kids get the pancakes that are not only beautiful, but so yummy. The chilaquiles are delicious, the tortilla chips have a good crisp in every bite. Their pancake batter is unique and definitely made in house, I wish I could get the recipe to make at home.
