    Come here with my family whenever I'm in town and it never disappoints. The beans and rice alone are so good. Great portions and great prices!

    Wish we could give 10 stars! The birria tacos did not disappoint. The food here is always delicious. The service is outstanding and on point. The restaurant is comfortable and cozy, plenty of room and the decor is vivid. Please don't change a thing.

    Modelo Negra Michelada 10 out 10!

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this a great spot to pick.. We went in for an early lunch and had chilaquiles with red sauce and they were perfect. The michelada was ice cold and tasty. Great service and great food, will definitely stop by again when in Dos Palos

    Cantarito and Chavelita

    Service was a little slow but the food and drinks made up for it. Will be back for sure! Definitely recommend.

    I asked for asada fries plain and they give me just cheese and asada nor fries smh,I'm very unsatisfied with my order .

    Looking for great Mexican in Dos Palos? This is your spot. Micheladas were fire, food portions were great, and prices reasonable. You get great food for your buck and the service was excellent - nice little spot hence "rinconcito". Loved the atmosphere.

    Highly recommend! Ordered 3 tacos governador with a side of rice and beans for lunch (pickup order) and they were delicious!!! 10/10 highly recommend! The tacos have grilled shrimp and fajita veggies with melted cheese, sour cream and guacamole. Super delicious, order was ready in 20 mins and I didn't have to wait when I went to pay and pickup! Will definitely go again!

    After a long drive from SoCal, we decided to make this place our dinner pit stop. Love that they…read morehave a kids menu, which makes it easier to dine with two little ones. My son also specifically requested Alfredo so it's great that they have that on the kids menu! If you're tired of fast food, I highly recommend making this place your lunch or dinner stop. Food comes out fast and service is great. Highlight of our night was when staff handed my kids a small cup of koi food so we could feed the fish before making our way home. The kids really enjoyed that. We will be making this our pit stop coming home from SoCal every time from now on.

    We come to Mission de Oro Hotel every year when we're in Santa Nella visiting my mom and dad's…read moregravesite at the National Veterans Cemetery. This visit happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. We had reservations for both Saturday and Sunday, but we stopped in on Saturday to cancel that day's reservation since we'd already eaten lunch and knew we wouldn't be hungry by dinnertime. On Sunday, when we checked in for our reservation, I was impressed -- the hostess remembered us by name, which says a lot considering how many guests come through the restaurant. We were seated, and soon after we were greeted by Eleanor, our server. She was warm, attentive, and never made us feel pressured, which was a huge improvement from a previous visit. She answered every question I had, including how they cook a medium‑rare steak (every chef has their own interpretation, lol). She also gave an honest answer when I asked whether the vegetables used at dinner come from their greenhouse. The service felt genuine, and the food was excellent -- a much better experience than my last review. This visit was absolutely worth the return. Kudos to Eleanor and the Kitchen at The Mission.

    Scott's Diner in Merced is always a win, and today was no exception. We were on our way to a hike…read morein Mariposa and wanted a Mexican breakfast that would actually power us through the trail--Scott's delivered in every way. We asked if they could do a special order: a burrito deconstructed, with over-easy eggs and the tortillas on the side. They were totally accommodating, and it was exactly what I was craving--fresh, filling, and seriously delicious. I went for the blueberry pancakes, and wow: they were enormous, fluffy, packed with real blueberries, and basically the perfect pre-hike fuel. And the coffee? Amazing, as always. I meant to take a picture of my food, but honestly I accidentally didn't--because everything looked so good that I dug in immediately. And even without the photo evidence, the presentation and plating were incredible, just like they always are. This place has my heart. I'd give it a hundred stars if I could--highly, highly recommend.

    Hole in the wall local place near the more southern area of hotels in Merced, and a welcome break…read morefrom mediocre hotel breakfast. Staff here are friendly, there's a solid bit of history and kitsch in the very back on the way to the restrooms, giving character to what is otherwise a decidedly local, low-frills experience. The steak salad (was it a steak taco salad?) looked quite tasty but also ordinary so I skipped it and stuck with breakfast; the sausage and eggs were very much unremarkable, but at least the hashbrowns were nicely pan fried and the eggs were a large portion. Biscuit and gravy reinforced the former impression, but again, hard to complain-- did the job. This place is super affordable and the overall verdict is a solid local place that's easy to appreciate but hard for me to say I would actually get excited about.
