SO GOOD! We got the pastor super tacos and the fajita burrito with steak. The portions were reasonable and the ingredients were fresh. The fajita burrito had all sorts of veggie goodness and they did not skimp on the steak. Great flavors. Highly recommend. The employees were kind and helpful. They gave us an extra basket of chips too! read more

I came here for the second time yesterday with some friends. The staff were polite, kind and helpful. I asked whether certain dishes could be made without dairy and they were very accommodating. My friend got the chile verde plate and I got barbacoa and carnitas tacos. All three meats were flavorful and well prepared. The food tasted fresh and we enjoyed our meal. read more

We were in the Oakdale area and felt like having Mexican food. My shrimp salad had very fresh vegetables and lots of shrimp. They were very generous with the chips and we loved the salsa bar!! Service was great and the music made us feel like we were in one of our favorite vacation spots in Mexico. read more

Definitely will be back next time I'm driving through oakdale! read more

Great food. Large portions. Loved their nachos and chili verde. Had the chili verde with rice only so I could mix it together

The restaurant was very clean and had several tables for indoor dining. I got the marinated chicken quesadilla and the chicken was very flavorful and juicy. It came with complementary chips, which was great since the restaurant had a solid salsa bar with spicy pico de gallo and coleslaw. read more

I work near this little place and am so glad I found it! I've traveled to town on my time off so I can have a Michelada and they're delicious. I love crispy tacos! Lunch is usually 1 or 2 crispy pastor. The beans and rice are great! The salsa bar is always fresh cold and clean. The service is as quick as can be. The local spots in town cater to students during lunch so just keep that in mind. Kids are always respectful and kind when I've had them swam at lunchtime. Check it out you might find a new favorite. read more

Great food, super friendly people, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere every time! Red salsa is the best salsa in Oakdale.

Both the food and the customer service are phenomenal! Service was fast and staff are friendly. Highly recommend!

The food can be tasty, but DO NOT GET FOOD TO GO! We have several times and our order has been wrong as often as right. Also, they do not cut a to go quesadilla and they are sopping wet and consequently very hard to eat! I won't get food to go again. They messed up my mom's quesadilla that was supposed to be shrimp and would up being carne aside with a little shrimp. It was so wet and the wrong meat that even with a fork and knife she wound up throwing most of it out. And by the way, since we know they have a habit of not cutting to go quesadillas, we asked it to be cut. And it still was not. read more

We had to come to Oakdale to have a special procedure for our pet. While he was being seen we stopped into this little hole in the wall place. There was a small line, but most people getting food to go. We stayed and enjoyed the restaurant. It was true home cooked food. Real quality food and service. I think I saw grandma working the kitchen. Love this place! read more

Sooooo- decided to try this place after refusing to go previously. Walked in years ago and it was humid and sticky- this time, it's chilly- probably because the doors are open- but man is it hoppin' and poppin! They were very busy with a train of pickup/take-out orders. With that- we did wait a bit, but it didn't feel like an eternity. The food was good- and the asada was certainly better than the taco truck across the street. I wish the chips tasted fresher- but they weren't stale (as per other reviews). The horchata was prob the best I've had in a lonnnng time. It has an authentic vibe- nothing special. It's not immaculate- but it's a clean old building. Though you order at the counter- they don't forget you're sitting in the restaurant- and check up on you to make sure you don't need anything else. Will be back. read more

Nice little spot most of the food is decent. But I only eat one thing here now and that's the menudo. Thee best menudo in Oakdale, Modesto or riverbank. Probably best in the 209. Anyone know if menudo is bad for you??? I eat way too much. read more

Super friendly, quick service. Charming decor. Shrimp tacos & Al pastor burrito are really good. Would definitely go back. My daughter loved the chicken quesadillas and chips! So happy we found this place! read more

More like 3 1/2 stars. Stopped in for a quick bite to eat tonight on our way home from Yosemite. Pros: Fresh tasting and authentic Mexican food Clean bathroom Friendly service Cons: Poor air circulation- felt humid and uncomfortable inside Dining room could be a lot cleaner Very stale chips I had 1 Al pastor taco especial - delicious. The meat was seasoned so good. He had the steak fajitas, and they were good. The rice and beans on his plate were SO tasty. I'm a sucker for good Mexican rice! There was a table that got fajitas and theirs came on a sizzling plate...my husband's did not. That was strange. The food was good though. read more

100% recommend. We went in the morning on our way to Yosemite. We ordered a breakfast burrito, grilled shrimp salad, 5 tacos, and a burrito bowl. The different types of meat in our dishes were all very flavorful and juicy. The place also has a self salsa bar that had many different salsas along with pickles. Didn't think we'd find such a gem here! read more

Service was great, food was okay for a quick bite to eat. I had the fajita bowl and a carnitas taco. Salsa bar was nice with a good variety.

Stopped by this place on our way home from our Yosemite camping trip. I ordered a mix of tacos so that I can taste all. The Pollo Adobado was my favorite, followed by the carnitas (a little fatty, but it had a good crisp and taste to it), then the Al Pastor. That one was probably my least favorite, however it was still good, and my bf really liked it. Staff was really friendly. It's a very casual spot, and I liked it had a small patio for us to sit. It was a hot day, and we had our dog with us, so that allowed us to bring him out of the car and sit with us. Definitely a good stop to get some food if you're taking a drive through Oakdale! read more

Well my prayers were answered. I was given a spicy, very flavorful green salsa. Unmatched to any place I've been. Creamy, spicy, fresh green pepper taste. Make sure you ask for it. Still haven't had a soggy taco yet. The woman in front is very nice and welcoming. This place is the best I've had in this area and the San Jose area. Large menu. The place is very clean. Clean restroom. Small location and very authentic to a family owned business. Can't recommend it enough. read more
