La Taqueria - Veggie burrito - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

I came here solely for Chilaquiles. My in-laws mentioned how delicious they were and I had to come try them. We walked in and even though it's small, most of the tables were full. You know the food's gonna be good when there are Mexican grandmas eating breakfast there. We were brought chips with three different types of salsa. All were good but just different. The chips were amazing. Warm and crunchy. Our meals came out quickly and the chilaquiles were perfect: great sauce, the toppings were just right, the chips were still crunchy and not soggy. The beans were good. I do not speak on rice because I just don't love any Spanish rice. Overall, an excellent meal. We will be back. read more

Order: Shrimp Burrito with Carne Asada it came with chips and 3 different salsas. This was an outstanding burrito! I cannot express how good everything really was from top to bottom on the burrito. Carne asada was light, not chewy, seasoned well enough. Shrimp tasted like it was just freshly cooked. Tortilla was super thin and light, but held surprisingly well. Rice, which I often hate, was excellent. The Smokey chipotle sauce that comes with it was outstanding! On top of that all of their chips are VERY good. Salas had to of been made that day. They were spicy and exactly what I had hoped for in a salsa. Service was solid, my burrito was piping hot. I'd consider this place to be much more like a hole in the wall type business. They aren't big on the thrills, but man they deliver on the food. Burrito: 8.6/10 DEFINITELY will be back! read more

Our first time visiting Merced and we were craving Mexican food. We found La Taqueria Con Sabor A Mexico - and what an awesome find it is! We went in for breakfast and my husband ordered chorizo and eggs and I was craving a good ol' bean and cheese burrito. We ordered at the counter and sat down for dine in. The restaurant is a smaller mom and pop vibe and it is super clean. There is outdoor seating as well which is nice when the weather is warm. The folks working here are super friendly and nice. We were served 3 types of salsa with home made chips. Yum! Our food was so delicious and such a great value! Our two dishes and a can of diet coke and a bottled water was $23.80 since I paid cash. There is a small transaction fee when using card. The chorizo and eggs were delicious as was my bean and cheese burrito. Their homemade tortillas are awesome! I highly recommend this amazing little restaurant! Dine in or take out you will definitely enjoy it! read more

This has to be my favorite burrito in Merced! I ordered the carne asada burrito and it came with beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, and avocado. The meat was seasoned very well although I wished it had a bit more meat. Each bite was mostly rice and beans so more meat would've helped. However, still good! I wanted Horchata, but they didn't have any. They did have a variety of Jarritos so that was good. The service was good, not much to say there. It was hot inside so we ate outside and there was plenty of shade. Can't wait to come again. I think this place will get better by the day. read more

The food was very tasty and service was quick... being that I was the only person in the restaurant at the time. The portion was okay but for the price I'm not sure if I will be back. I paid $18 for nachos and two tacos... I thought that was with my drink but it was separate. Also there wasn't too much chicken on the nachos and the cheese was not melted but the salsa was delicious with the chips lol. read more

La Taqueria - Chicken nachos - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

This might be my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Merced. It is great home cooked food. The sope was so good and the masa tasted fresh. The fries were good, just wish they were a bit more crispy. They were loaded though and definitely worth the price. The food came out quick and the service was great. Will definitely be back to try a lot more things. read more

Had the enchiladas michoacanos plate. They were authentic just like Mexico. 5 enchiladas filled with queso fresco (hold the onions) with lettuce and queso on top. Potato cubes cooked in the enchilada sauce, and a delicious side piece of chicken with pickled carrots on top of the plate. (not spicy at all. They were the perfect garnish) The fresh squeezed orange juice was so tasty and naturally sweet. I got a cup to go home as well The chips came out hot and fresh, their salsa was not spicy at all. It was perfect. Service was great. Really nice people. Only bad thing was, visited at 8 pm and the small lobby was so cold. I think a little heater in there can fix that. I would have liked to eat my dinner and be warm. Overall this was a very great experience and I recommend anyone to go try their food. They did not disappoint. I will go back sooner than later. Already posted on my Facebook and telling all my friends. When it gets warmer it's gonna be nice to eat outside on the patio. They also have music playing outside! read more

This place is small but the food packs a big punch! The aguas were delicious and refreshing! I am picky when it comes to my chilaquiles and these blew me away! Their tortilla chips were still crunchy which I love! The chicken I added was SO FLAVORFUL! the rice and beans tasty! And not dry! The burrito de asada was lacking. Definitely do not order that. It's missing meat and more flavor. The tacos dorados are only offered on the weekend so we had to try it! These were AMAZING!! The flavor the crunch! Not too greasy for being fried! 10/10 would go on the weekends to try these! The chips and salsa were tasty! Great crunch! I wish the salsa was a bit more spicy! Overall 8/10 looking forward to trying them again. read more

La Taqueria - Chilaquiles! The best in town! - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

Yummy and pleasant, casual & kid-friendly place to meet up with friends or get a quick weeknight dinner. Loved the food, and so did our 8-year-old (!), always a bonus. I had tacos birria & camaron, my son had pollo. Spouse got enchiladas and loved them. Everything was flavorful and carefully prepared. Chips and 3 different salsas were delicious. Lady at the counter was very kind and friendly and great about my child's food allergies. She came by a couple times to check on us. We returned twice more within a couple weeks, bringing friends along. Everyone seemed to enjoy it including our friend's daughter who is gluten free. The person who left a nasty review complaining about not being served....dude, you order at the counter! Then you sit where you want, and your food is brought out. Wish folks would think a bit before storming off and trying to tank someone's business. read more

Go to this place. My mom and I were craving tacos and they served us fresh food...everything including the salsa was very good. Definitely go support this business and order the pastor tacos read more

This weekend me and family stop by! We were carving Menudo and it was very good flavor was on point. They serve it with handmade tortillas and also we ordered the chilaquiles I ordered half red half green! It was a delish combination. The service was good. Only thing I did not like is they don't take your order in your table. You have to place it when you walk in and I'm very undecided on what to order do took a long time and holding the line. Other than that the food is good and definitely will be coming back. read more

The food is way overpriced for the skimpy plates they serve. The service is very slow. It took forever for us to get served. It's just another Mexican food restaurant. They need to try harder to stand out from the rest if they're going to make it in this town. My wallet needs time to heal from from the beating it just took read more

We popped into La Taqueria for a quick bite on our way from Yosemite to Sequoia and what a gem. The kids devoured their cheese and bean burritos, while the cheese quesadilla and bacon breakfast burrito hit the spot. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Big shoutout to the kind young ladies working in the back they checked on us several times and made us feel genuinely welcome, which is rare and refreshing these days. And I have to say: the bathroom? Immaculate. Possibly the cleanest I've ever seen in a taco shop. That detail alone speaks volumes about how this place is run. This was an excellent stop and we're so glad we found it. Highly recommended for anyone passing through Merced! read more

I had the enchiladas michoacanos plate and it was really good. Topped with a slice of cured, air dried beef, "carne seca"? The enchiladas were super tasty and the 2 different salsas that came with dish were great too. Best food I've eaten in Merced in a very long time. read more

Needed a quick lunch before my tax meeting. Easy onsite parking. As it was a nice day I decided to dine outside on the patio. I chose the Quesadilla Camorone which was loaded...probably the best quesadilla I've ever had! I couldn't eat it all, so took half of it home for dinner! The only two negatives: Plastic cutlery is a pet peeve of mine! Not in the best part of town, so a couple of homeless folk approached me while I was eating. Having said that...I will return to sample some other menu items. The couple running it were very nice & accommodating. read more

This place is a little pricy for what you get. I ordered 2 tacos and a soda and it came out to 16$ and they were just regular street tacos.

Had the nachos and it was really good... They even gave me a free side of chips and salsa and I paid $2 for a Coke. I don't see why I wouldn't recommend this hole in the wall place read more

La Taqueria - Burrito supreme - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

I got the carne asada fries and supreme burrito. Loved that they gave a free side of chips with sauces. Wow, their sauce is absolutely fantastic. I've had plenty of Mexican food before but definitely haven't had sauce as good as here. The carne asada fries were bomb. I do agree with other reviews that there isn't a huge amount of meat in both the burrito and the carne asada fries. However, the quality of the food is so much better at this place I don't even mind! Will definitely return! read more

Tried this out tonight and we cannot wait come back. 7" tacos, quality delicious meats, and soft tender sopes. The hot sauces were great and the chips are really special. 10/10. Incredible flavors and not greasy. Their tortillas and sopes are made fresh daily. This is a taco spot Merced can be proud of! The owner has a great vision for the community and this part of downtown too! read more

Ordered menudo, chilaquiles, and breakfast burrito. Burrito was huge and was fulfilling! Chilaquiles and menudo portion were really small for the price. Green salsa on the side didn't have much flavor but the cashier was really nice she repeated the order made sure to give us her recommendations and packaged extra sides for us. Shop is small but comfy. Good parking and clean. read more

Always delicious. Consistently providing great service and quality food. There's so many Mexican joints around Merced, but this is the only place I trust. The patio area is nice, the interior is always clean. It's an ideal location for enjoying good food without being disturbed or feeling rushed. They give two different types of salsa with their burritos and I always use both because they are both yummy. I can't recommend this place enough. Blaxican approved read more
