The carnitas are off the hizzay. Don't ever eat pork, but the carnitas make an exception. P.S The weekend morning would be ideal for those who enjoy live music, Banda Arpa Mariachi. The weekdays are for those who enjoy eating in a less social environment. read more

This spots customer service is really bad. I order the same food all the time and it's over priced but I still order it anyways. About every other week but I noticed their prices for the same exact food in less than 2 months has changed from $18 to $24. I will not be paying that amount it's way overpriced. There is not enough parking, the inside is not that cleaned. But over call customer service and overpriced food. The owner is very rude maybe he only treats the "plebes with money" good. Instead of supporting this business I recommend Mundos Latin Grill in Turlock. Great food prices are decent and it's a lot cleaner. read more

food looked nothing like the pictures and wasn't very good. order was not correct ordered through door dash.

Worse place ever, terrible service, very rude and they refuse to make the order right when I sent it back so I said I didn't want anything and still got charged for it any way. I usually don't like to send anything back unless is this bad. Don't waste your money here is not worth it read more

This place has HORRIBLE food and their service is THE WORST you could ever experience. I ordered a birria with just the meat no fat or anything else and I got served a small bowl of expensive FAT. The meat looked chunky and disgusting. I didn't touch the plate and politely asked to please change it to what I had ordered, which was just the broth with meat. They take the plate back and mix it up to where the meat was just in smaller pieces but still full of fat. Finally, my server comes back and I tell her to please change it for something else and she was ARGUING with me stating that I ordered it and they couldn't do anything about it. She REFUSED to take the plate back until I turned my back towards her and asked for 1 MEAT ONLY taco. She takes my plate, packs it to go (without me knowing) and brings me my taco. The meat taco had NO FLAVOR and the salsas were bland. I ate the flavorless taco ONLY because my system needed some food after a long 5 hour drive. Once I paid MARIA; THE OWNERS SISTER, she was the RUDEST MOST OBNOXIOUS UNEDUCATED person in that entire restaurant. As a matter of fact when paying MARIA, she insulted me in front of many customers, saying I had no choice but to pay for food not only did I not touch but didn't order. She was so INEFFICIENT that she claimed to not be able to remove the charge from her merchant clover. Once again, an uneducated person wouldn't know how to work a simple software. Anyhow, as I was leaving the restaurant she used profanity and asked for me to never go back there but I was not the only customer she lost, people waiting to be seated got up and walked out after her scene! Someone please teach this foreign lady the laws of this country, where the customer has the right to return anything, including a plate of food that is NOT what you order! read more

Worse place to go to .. Customer service Sucks And they charge you for even your left over Torillas! Needs some serious cleaning in the bathrooms and their tables read more

I'm giving it two stars do to the bad customer service over the phone from the lady taking the orders . She's rude and unprofessional. This morning I purchased birria de chivo , it was delicious. The handmade tortillas were cold , and tasted old . They gave me cilantro and onion in a zip bag, well something smelled off ! The onion was rotten old in there along with the limón and cilantro . I think they should be more cautious . I didn't enjoy my food . read more

Food is great but worst customer service ever in Modesto and the employees pass right by you and don't even ask you if you have been helped after waiting a long period of time to be seated,never coming here again.If you want to be ignored this is the perfect place to come.Need to change your employees cause they are always on their phone. read more

You walk in and the place looks like a little makeshift flea market stand inside a building. We were greeted and sat down at one of the many tables. It was quite humid since they were making fresh corn tortillas. The beef Birria was good not spectacular. And for more than $10 it was pretty skimpy. My husbands menudo was watery junk. Not returning to this spot ever! read more

Jose's Mexican Restaurant - Large plate of Birria (Beef) - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

Came in to have breakfast with my family. Noticed the restaurant was filled with flys, customer service was awful. The waitress (named Christina) was rude, got our order mixed up and did not check up on us not once! Food wasn't great but wasn't awful. Will not be returning and I definitely Do not recommended. read more

My favorite place for breakfast in the area.. the birria tacos I have ever had.. great service. Fresh tortillas made onsite.. can't wait to come back.. ! read more

Best birria in caldo i have tried with big home made tortillas. I would recommend 100% it's worth the try you won't regret the decision

Came here on a Sunday morning and it was packed. Really good birria and fast service. They have homemade corn tortillas and live music on Sunday's. Definitely coming here again, birria was really good. read more

This place has the worst customer service ever, the owner of this place was the person in charge of seating people, when we got there the owner asked who was next and after being skipped many times I spoke up and said I was being skipped, this individual started yelling at me and started going off at me and even dared to tell me that if I was in a hurry then maybe I should just take out instead of dining in when all I was trying to do was make a point of how I was next to be seated, he didn't care I was with my kids when yelling at me like I was a little kid, never have I've been so humiliated in my life, I made the wrong choice to stay and give it a shot since it was full of people and thought food would be good, food had good presentation but no flavor, my Jarrito drink tasted like water and then when I thought it could not get any worse I noticed the same man (the owner) yelling at this man with his family seated at a table and the poor man got up and if it wasn't for his wife that sat him back down in the chair it would have gotten physical. How can yOu Tun a business like this?! read more

Horrible experience! Waited an hour for an enchilada. We had to keep reminding the employees we were waiting for our food. Once the food arrived an hour later, the women said that someone had told the cook didn't want the enchiladas so they were in the kitchen sitting there. We received our food an hour later and cold! Thanks! read more

1st review 2016--Have been here a couple of times and drive from far just to have lunch here. Their Enchiladas Michocanas are yummy but there Tacos de Barbacoa de res with hand made tortillas is the Best!!! I recommend them. 2nd review 2017 I have been here several times and have always had a good experience til this time. I will never go back on a Sunday I don't even know if my husband and kids will even want to go back after this. Sundays are super busy there for they screw up. It took them 1hr for an order to come out we were sitting down watching other customer leave because they were taking so long. Finally we got our food and it was cold and it was a plate that they had made for someone else but they left. They should of just not charge us for that plate. I also order a side of rice and beans and never got them but at the time of paying they were trying to charge us for it when we never got it. Maybe they need an extra cook for busy days so that they don't fall behind. read more

Bad customer service and bad food. Horrible, horrible service. I asked the waiter a question and tapped on her shoulder and she got extremely mad, then returned with a paper sign attached to her back saying "do not touch me" read more

The service was fine. I got takeout and it was quick. I got menudo and it just was not good. Didn't taste fresh and the Chile was not prepared well. I only tried the menudo, no idea about their other food. read more

Best place for birria! I've never had a birria with this much flavor! When I first started going on weekend mornings (best time for birria) it was not as popular... maybe one Mexican band. Now they have three, plus a full bar, traditional Mexican hospitality... I can't say enough! Must experience this revisionary birria environment! read more

Every bad customer service, very rude. And usually when I go to a Mexican restaurant They usually give me a bowl with chips and salsa, so I asked for some an rudely the waiter told me you have to buy them um okay this would have been okay but not when I get told with a very mad voice . read more

After receiving freezer burned crab legs the waitress forced a 20% tip on to our check.

This place is gross. Went there this past weekend to have some lunch and we left dissatisfied with both the customer service and the food. There were so many flies INSIDE the restaurant that we might as well have been eating next to a dumpster. The food was underwhelming to say the least. We ordered the barbacoa and a chicken fajita plate. The chicken in the fajitas seemed to be boiled and then put on the grill to make it seem like they were actually grilled. The barbacoa was the most boring meal I've ever had, it was just a boring bowl of meat, it didn't include rice or beans. If you're looking for good Mexican food and professional staff, DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Their Birria is the only Birria I eat! It's the Best Birria! DELICIOUS! My husband and I have never had any problems at all with their service. When you arrive, if it's Sundays, it is VERY BUSY but that only tells you how DELICIOUS their food is! Trust me it is worth the wait!!!!! read more

Waitresses had an attitude, the food was ok but it took forever for us to get our food. Other clients who walked in after us received their food before we did. We asked for chips and they didn't bring us any I had to remind the waitress half an hour later if we could get chips. Overall not the best place and not the best service. read more

Really good food and great service. The waitress was super nice and even gave us drinks to go as we were leaving. That's the kind of service that brings people back. Highly recommend Jose's Mexican restaurant!! read more

Then 5 min later we got the menus then she left again n then 3 min later came to take our drinks order. We end it up leaving this place read more

The food is absolutely delicious! But costumer service is no good. The waitresses take long and always have an attitude. A tip for the owner is better staff or demand better service for your clients because other then the weird location, the costumer service is it's down fall. read more

Looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant. We ended up here. What a mistake. Started off by not having iced tea or any diet drinks. Owner when to store next door and bought a case of Diet Pepsi. My wife ordered a shrimp taco. She said it was good. I ordered a wet chili verde barrito and got carne asada. I waited for the chili verde barrito and when it came in 10 minutes it had three small pieces of pork. I showed the waitress and she looked visibly embarrassed. I did it eat the barrito yet no offer was make for an adjustment. The waitress was nice but she failed to tell owner or if she did he choose to ignore us. With all the good Mexican restaurants in town I am sorry I chose this one. read more
