Quality Mexicans dishes at reasonable prices, great customer service. Hubby and I have been coming here for YEARS. HIGHLY recommend this place for any one craving authentic Mexican food.

Price: Reasonable Quality: A++ Service: A++ Recommend: Try their Molcajete....OMG (reminder made for two) read more

La Cascada Mexican Restaurant - Molcajete - Mexican Near Me - Ceres, California

First time in ! And all I can say is WOW !! There were four of us ! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the sweetest lady. Her name is Rosa and she waited on her table also! The entire evening was nothing short of amazing! The food has such great flavor, and Rosa was the sweetest! The food came out so fast the plates were hot and the food was delicious! When we were eating and looking around, the entire restaurant was so decorated graciously with beautiful Christmas decorations, so homey and sweet ! In the table next to us happen to be the owner of the restaurant, Jose, which came over to our table and started chatting with us and all I can say is he was so charming and nice ! He greeted us and talked with us for a few minutes! We did notice that their prices were definitely lower than most of the Mexican restaurants around, which really impressed us then we tasted the food and it got even better ! If you are looking for some great authentic Mexican food, you need to come here!! it was awesome and we will definitely be back !! We found our new go to ! Thanks for making the evening !

me and my girlfriend were in Ceres looking for someplace to eat lunch. Every place on yelp had really bad reviews. This one was so so. I wish I never had gone here. One the tortilla chips were burnt and when my friend asked her if we can get new tortilla chips because they were burnt, she brought us the same thing and my friend was like they're still burnt and she says well we just made them so that's how they came out . Holy moly. our meal came to us in less than five minutes. I ordered a combination which was a taco, rice and beans that just told me that they don't make anything fresh. It's probably made ahead of time and then stayed warm in warmers because it came out so fast or they microwaved it. I would not recommend this place and I would not go back there again Ceres you really need to step up your game as far as restaurants because there's not hardly any restaurants that are good over there. I have to drive to Ceres to see my mom in a nursing home and there is no place so far in Ceres, but this was the worst place to eat? read more

I love all the food they sale here and the service is the best I highly recommend to go eat here. read more

Found this gem about 8 years ago. I still love it! Now I'm married with kids and it has become a family favorite. The service is absolutely amazing. Almost every single waitress/waiter know my order before I even have to say it. I get the camarones ala crema con chipotle Everytime. The food is absolutely delicious and it comes out piping hot! Still love the ambiance of the restaurant. It's so chill! Absolutely definite go to spot! read more

Awesome service and great tasting food. I wanted to get the whole fried fish head and all and due to a lack of communication between the server and me being a white guy, I was given a fried filet of cod vs the whole fish. Still excellent so no complaints. I'll order it next time. When seated I saw a bunch of dishes headed to a party in the lower bar area. They looked phenomenal. Especially the 7 deadly seas mixed seafood soup. The steaks with shrimp on them looked awesome as well. I didn't take a picture of my food because it wasn't what I wanted so I took pictures of the menu for people to see since I noticed it hasn't been updated on yelp in 5 years lol. This place is awesome tho. Highly recommend. read more

This is our family's go to for Mexican cuisine. Homemade tortillas and chips. Great soups, albondigas is awesome. Staff is very accommodating and flexible. Some people haven't given this place a great review. Sometimes people have a bad day and take it out on the restaurant. Some people have taste buds that are shot from eating junk food. I've been to almost all the Mexican restaurants in this area and consider La Cascada a gem . Real food and genuine employees. read more

There is no better Mexican place I've been to. Service is always fast and friendly. Salsa is awesome. No one does a better Chimichanga. And the prices aren't going to kill you. read more

One of my all time favorite places, the food is always perfect, never made a mistake in my food

Unfortunately would not go back. Staff was nice but food was lacking. We did not take the remainder of our dinner in to go boxes.

Five of us met for lunch. We all loved our food. Service was friendly and professional. We will be going back.

Excellent red snapper meal. The best I've ever had. The service here is very welcoming. The atmosphere is friendly, and upbeat. I will definitely be returning often! read more

Had the menudo and it was delicious. Service was good too. The hibiscus drink was very refreshing.

Great food, service, and price! This is my go to spot for Mexican food that doesn't break the bank and customer service seems like family. Enough said. read more

So sad this place is declining in quality. Service is good but food was not. The chicken on my tostada had a very weird taste, so weird, I didn't eat it. Charged for soft drink refills, which was a shock. 2 people $50 due to refills. Not sure we'll be back after many years of eating here. If we do, it will be takeout which we saw a lot of people doing. Take out = no tip, no refills. read more

I have been coming here with my family for over 20 years, and went today for the first time in while since I moved out of the area-- I love this place! For the first time in a LONG time I was served hot and fresh rice and beans, which is rare these days it seems. Also, the Carnitas were cooked with excellence, and the tortillas were hot and homeade. read more

Came here after the lockdown was lifted. Of all of my years of living in Ceres. This was my first time going! And I was not disappointed. We had a great server. She was on it. And happy haha Their chips and salsa were AMAZING!! I love going to La Morienta so I always compare l Mexican restaurants to that. Their menu was detailed. They have a breakfast. Brunch dinner and la carte menu too! It was decent I didn't see what I wanted but I told my server and she made it happen. Got a veggie burrito. Although she did mess up some aspects of it. But it was okay it was still delicious. I would not mind coming here again! Would recommend if you have not tried it out!! read more

I have been going to La Cascada with my family, friends and co-workers for years. I highly recommend this restaurant. The owners and staff are very friendly! They treat you like family!

Great service, family owned, fair prices and good authentic food. Plenty of seating and a full bar.doable for handicapped peeps also.

So, another 3-star review...ugh. The food here was good, and the portions were generous. I enjoyed my chimi. It wasn't outstanding, but it was good. The restaurant though was a little less...we were initially seated in a "cooler" section of the main dining area, but asked to reseat ourselves shortly thereafter. The reason? An overwhelming smell of bathroom deodorizer and other unsavory bathroom scents. Yuck. At our new booth, it was certainly warmer- our server warned us that the air conditioning wasn't working as well in that section- but it was better than enduring the odors. I dunno- in this area of the state, there are excellent choices for Mexican food, so I don't really see making a return trip here. read more

My family and I came here because our regular Mexican restaurant was closed. I ordered fajitas, I get ice cold rice and whole beans were just thrown on the plate. I ate one small bite of the rice and one small bite of the beans both were horrible. I ate half of one fajita taco and couldn't bring myself to eat any more. The chips they gave us were the worst Tortilla chips I've ever had. Now the bill comes. The bill they gave us charged us 14% tax and I asked why. The manager takes it and comes back and says actually it's $7 more. Your boys got a refill. 1. We never asked for a refill, 2. It says on the menu that sodas have 1 free refill. (They only got 1 refill) and she refused to take it off. Check your bill before you leave here. This was ridiculous. read more

First time here and I don't think I'll come back. The service was just okay. We were greeted upon arrival and were told to pick an empty table to have a seat. The only table that was big enough for my family of 4 only had 3 chairs. My dad had to go and grab an empty chair from somewhere else (we shouldn't have to do that). A worker here brought us chips and salsa. The waitress then came and offered us something to drink. Within minutes our drinks came out. We were told that we could access the menu online but then brought us a paper menu. Maybe after 5 minutes she came and took our order (mind you that during her time with us she seemed soooo rushed and would slowly walk away even when we weren't done with our sentence or asking for something else). Our food took over 30 minutes to come out (it seemed like eternity!) While we waited we had to keep asking for more refills on our drinks and more chips and salsa. Our plates all came out at different times and we had to keep asking for different things more than twice because she'd forget. My mom had to ask for an extra order of tortillas and they never showed up my tortillas for my caldo de res came out like 5min later than when my food came out. And she had brought rice and chopped onion with cilantro and just left it on the table without saying anything. When she returned I had to ask if it was for my moms plate but said no that it was for me. How the hell was I suppose to know? SMH ‍ Anyways, the food tasted great but the service was not good. read more

Scene: POST-5 HRS. HOLIDAY DRIVE HOME from SLO Narrative: Our energy banks are depleted, we are exhausted & hungry. As I take the short cut home, through the wilds of Ceres, I see a restaurant light. Is it a mirage or is it real? From the outside, it does not look like much, but I am close to desperate delirium. We walk in, and the mirage disappears, and a real oasis of food takes its place. They warmly welcome us wayward travelers, and seat us in a cozy booth. A huge urn cascading water is the centerpiece of the large & very clean dinning room. A very pleasant smiling waitress takes our order. I order the $12 seafood Burrito that was recommended by her, and my wife orders a vege dish (A combo of a Cheese Enchilada and a Guacamole Taco) that was recommended. Our order, which was piping hot, came quickly, and we marveled at the Huge Machismo of my Forearm sized Burrito. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE THIS BURRITO BLUEPRINT: (see pic) Key @= Shrimp F= Fish _______________________________________________ [ [ @ ] [ @ @ Green Sauce [ Red Sauce @ ] [ F F @ @ F [ F @ @ F @ ] [_______________________[______________________ ] It was a beauty and was enhanced by green and red sauce on each half. We quickly dug in.... ....WOW!!! THIS IS DELICIOUS, THE BEST....WE SAID SIMULTANEOUSLY!.... AS WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN FRANK DISBELIEF! BECAUSE WE NEVER SAID THIS ABOUT MEXICAN FOOD BEFORE! The Seafood Burrito was not just huge but succulent inside, with generous amounts of shrimp, fish, cheese, and the other goodies that go into a super-burrito...but far far better! With the sauce on top, I guess you would call it a "wet" burrito, but I just called it .... YUMRITO!!!!!!! For "dessert", my honey started in right away with, "How come you did not know about this place...since you are a genius? How come you did not tell me about this place...did you hide it from me? Is it close to anything...where are we BTW? Close to the gym...great...which gym! This the most delicious Mexican food I ever had & I will bring my friends here. Where are we again?......blah blah blah... MY HONEY LOVED IT, SHE JUST IS SUPERLATIVELY CHALLENGED! HAS ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF THE LOCALE, AND MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT LOCO AT THE TIME, FROM THE ETERNAL DRIVE, WITH EXTREMELY LOCO CALIFORNIA END OF A HOLIDAY WEEKEND DRIVERS, ......COMPLETE WITH TONS OF CAR ACCIDENTS ALONG THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We almost lick the plates clean. The End! read more

Again love the food. But get treated like crap cause I am white by the staff. This is getting ridiculous if they don't want white people to come then don't open where there is white people. read more

We started going here during the quarantine in 2020. We've never eaten there. I've been inside it once or twice. Usually, my husband picks up our order. It's real Mexican food, cooked by real Mexicans. The food is very good. I get 3 carne asada tacos with rice and beans. He gets 3 enchiladas with rice and beans, and sometimes adds a taco. Sometimes I order a basket of flour tortilla chips. (The bill is $30-35 for two people) Though my tacos are very consistent, and the rice is consistent, the refried beans are not. They are always good, but sometimes they are "good" and sometimes they are "effing good." I attribute this to different cooks. It shows the food is made fresh each day. The beef enchiladas with red sauce are also inconsistent. Nothing is ever bad. It's just varied degrees of good. I frequently taste the provided salsa. It appears to be consistent in taste. I don't use it though. My taste buds are very "gringo." It's too "spicy hot" for me. They are inconsistent with providing lemon or lime wedges for my tacos. The citrus makes a big difference. Instead of getting upset about it, I now keep lemons in my home. The biggest problem I have is with ordering my tacos. Again, there is some inconsistency. One woman wants me to tell her what I want on it. Another woman wants me to tell her what I don't want on it. I don't care either way, but sometimes, the older sounding woman gets snippy with me if I don't order it the way she wants me to be ordering it. Everything is served in styrofoam containers. Sometimes, the sauce leaks out and makes a mess. The containers are placed in a plastic bag, and a very strong knot is tied. Be prepared to cut it rather than break it open. None of these are things worth removing a star for. Not even combined do they add up to a whole negative star. But, I do think a diner's experience will be more enjoyable if it is understood that these inconsistencies exist, and they are attributed to the human element. read more

Crazy busy place on Taco Tuesday. The server was great. The carnitas tacos were delicious! Bonus points for supporting Covid shots by giving free tacos to people who present their Covid card. read more

So I would like to begin my review by saying that I absolutely love this restaurant. I have been eating at La Cascada since they first opened in the 1980's. It's not exactly authentic Mexican food but it's really tasty. The salsa is frigging delish! The Imagen Del Mar and the enchiladas in red sauce are my favorite items. The waitresses are also super sweet, they always make a point to talk to you and remember you. read more

Amazing food & huge portions! Staff kept checking on me, very friendly & helpful. I will be back!
