This place has terrible sit down service and decent to moderate food. I ordered food for my rehearsal dinner and was told the day of they were no longer going to complete my food order because another order had come in which would require all of their resources. Essentially, they met with my mother-in-law two weeks prior, promised food to be prepared for my event of 50+ people, and then the day of decided to skip out on our agreement because they wanted to make more money on another order. Instead, they could have allocated resources to accommodate both or multiple orders. However, I suppose that would have been too simple of a solution. I would not recommend this place to anyone and have not eaten here since. Also, one of the owners gave off an arrogant or rude vibe (I think her name was Hillary) and constantly interrupted everyone involved in our initial meeting. Maybe they changed owners, but I think it's still the two sisters and their mother. This place was a disappointment after reading such positive reviews in a local health magazine and on yelp only to find them not to be true in my case. So, thinking I had an isolated bad experience, I tried this place again as a sit down patron. This place was not impressive and was more than underwhelming yet again. Below are the reasons why: 1) I ate here with my friends and it took over 45 minutes to seat us without accurate warning of the wait or any obvious visible source for the wait. 2) Our food took over an hour to prepare for a group of three and it did not appear to be very busy. 3) There were flies everywhere inside of the establishment. We had to place napkins over our food in between bites. 4) It was noisy. Between the kitchen noise and some sort of background music we were unable to hold a conversation with one another. 5) Our waitress had the orders confused so when our food arrived we played musical plates. 6) Our food was cold, over seasoned, and/or bland. I ordered the wedding chicken and the sauce tasted as if it hadn't been mixed very well. It was also cold. When I asked if it could be mixed a bit more thoroughly and heated up a bit, I received a nasty look from the waitress. So, out of fear for my food being tainted with random bodily fluids, I ate my cold food. 7) The waitress never cleared our used plates and kept bringing us new cups of beverages without warning, but then failed to clear the old cups. So, by the end of our meal the table was cluttered with dishes and it looked comical for only three people to leave. 8) The decor was cheesy and the floor was sticky. I could hear my sandals sticking to the ground. read more

On each of our last five visits, my significant other and I experienced a consistent issue with the staff's disregard for us. While the quality of the food and coffee at La Mo Cafe is decent, the staff's behavior has been quite disappointing. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's a slow day or a busy one; our attempts to communicate with staff were often met with indifference. While waiting our order to be called, we inquired about the coffees on the counter, we received no response and were simply walked away from. To make matters worse, both of our drinks on our last visit lacked enough espresso and tasted so bad that we had to throw them out. The quality of the coffee has also been inconsistent. On top of that, we observed other customers at the coffee counter facing similar difficulties. One incident stood out when a staff member initially made a drink in a regular cup for a customer who wanted it to go. The staff then poured the drink from the cup into a to-go cup, assuming the customer would accept it as is. When the customer requested the drink to be remade to their specifications, it prompted the remaking of the drink by the staff, who were also overheard whispering among themselves. Unprofessional. Furthermore, the service was so poor that I didn't even feel comfortable requesting a refund for our poorly made drinks. Instead, I opted to file a dispute with my credit card company. We've given this location multiple opportunities, and each time, we have tipped generously in the hope of a better experience. However, our efforts to be courteous customers were met with disrespect, leaving us feeling ignored and undervalued. We believe in second chances, but after experiencing this for the fifth time, we've decided that this will be our last visit to La Mo Cafe. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

This is the third time coming to the cafe part. Each time, I order the garden bagel. I have noticed that each person that has made my bagel 1) doesn't wash their hands before 2) doesn't wear gloves to make it. This is disgusting!!! The second time I came, it was a younger Hispanic woman that kept pushing her hair behind her ears!! Then would make my bagel. So, I threw it away. This third time (which I am still waiting for my bagel, after 13 minutes of waiting...I have my receipt), this younger woman (who made my bagel), came out from the back, made herself some coffee, the female barista asked her if she was going to make the bagel, and the younger woman said "ugh, no", then took her coffee and went back to the back. The younger white woman didn't wash her hands, came out from the back, rubbed her nose, and then grabbed the bagel with her bare hands and started to make it. They don't even have tongs to take the bagel out away from the other bagels. This is so disgusting! It took 16 minutes for them to make my garden bagel, which I threw away because of hygienic reasons. I know for a fact if you work with food, you have to have a food handlers card. This place knows that they're doing wrong. It is really sad because it is cute, and when I did eat the garden bagel the first time, it was really good. That is why I gave this establishment 2s, for the bagel the first time. I just noticed, their containers have "Eco Products" on them. Please care about how the food is handled, not not just disposed of please. read more

We had a really disappointing experience. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, it took about an hour for our food to arrive. From the start, service was disorganized--they forgot to bring us the drink and coffee menu, then the specials menu, and even our waters. When drinks finally came, it had been about 30 minutes, and they were served with a clear lack of care--straws were tossed onto the table, and we were met with rude looks, especially from one server who we later learned was the owner's daughter. What made the experience even worse was the apparent racism. The table next to us, who were white, ordered several rounds of drinks and had them delivered promptly each time, while we waited nearly half an hour just for water. It was hard not to notice the stark difference in how we were treated. When the food finally arrived, some of the sweet potato fries were still cold and even frozen in the middle. We considered leaving multiple times, but stuck it out because we felt bad. To make matters worse, as a group of over six, we were automatically charged a 20% gratuity, which felt undeserved given the lack of basic hospitality. No one ever checked on our table, and the attitude we received throughout made us feel like an inconvenience. Unfortunately, this was a zero out of ten experience. Would not recommend. read more

I had breakfast at La Mo Restaurant this morning, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The service was exceptional.... Friendly, attentive, and professional without ever feeling rushed. It's clear that customer experience is a top priority here. The food was absolutely outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients and putting care into every dish. Every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was just as impressive clean, inviting, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great breakfast. If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers incredible food, outstanding service, and an all-around wonderful dining experience, La Mo is a must-visit. This was easily one of the best breakfast experiences I've had in a long time. I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone in or visiting Turlock. Five stars! read more

Excellent! I would have to say I'm very critical when Hispanic food is switched around; this is the best of the best. The Girls were not afraid of switch up and make it more organic and using different textures of food product to make it one of a kind. They created their own original taste, I commend them for taking the initiative going their own way and create La Mo; its more than a Café, fine dining I say. read more

We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop by because of the excellent reviews this place had received. When we first walked in, one of the employees asked what I wanted. I explained that I was waiting for my husband before ordering. She responded by saying, "Oh well, they're waiting," referring to the customers behind me. I immediately replied, "That's fine, go ahead!" so the other customers could order first, but her reaction afterward felt dismissive and somewhat annoyed. We later placed and paid for our order. Shortly after, my husband decided he wanted a Biscoff latte instead, so we politely asked if the drink could be changed. Another employee kindly stepped in and said she could do it, which we appreciated. I specifically asked for the drink to be changed to an iced Biscoff latte. Unfortunately, when the drinks came out, mine was still hot instead of iced. I went back up respectfully and let them know there had been a mix-up. Both employees looked at each other and chuckled in what came across as annoyance. I even apologized for the inconvenience, but the first employee responded by saying, "We are just too busy." I completely understand that working in customer service can be overwhelming, and I always try to be patient and understanding. However, at the time there were only a couple of seated customers and just the two of us waiting for our drinks, so the comment felt unnecessary. By that point, the interaction from the moment we walked in had already made the experience feel uncomfortable. We ended up grabbing our drinks and leaving disappointed. I usually enjoy leaving positive reviews, especially for small businesses, so it was unfortunate because we came in excited after reading such wonderful things about this place.

The menu has everything - lattes, frappes, refreshers, hot and cold drinks, plus a bunch of pastries. Apparently they also have giant conchas?! How did I miss that? Next time, for sure. I went with a Large Shaken Brown Sugar Espresso (4 shots), ready in less than 5 minutes. It was yums & sweet, just like the girl at the register promised.
