    Ceviche
    Laura B.

    Love Memo's! I have only been twice but both times I have l loved everything about it: the service, the food, and the vibes. The restaurant itself is quite large and they have a good amount of seating. The wait staff have always been exceptional and ensure you enjoy your experience there. This last time I tried the ceviche and I really enjoyed it. There was a strong lime taste to it, but I liked it. Overall, great experience and I can't wait to go back

    The atmosphere here is wonderful, and the customer service is consistently excellent. Magdaleno is incredibly attentive--he checks on us the perfect amount, not too little and not too often. He asks thoughtful questions and offers great menu suggestions, and he's taken the time to learn our preferences. I'm a picky eater and usually order the same "safe" dishes, but Magdaleno has encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone. Because of him, I even tried fish (which I normally don't eat!) and ended up loving the Mahi Mahi. We've also tried several vegetarian dishes, and I'm always impressed--I find myself saying "mmm" more times than I can count. This place has truly expanded my palate to include fish, beans, spicy flavors, and cheese. I hope Magdaleno blesses your visit the way he blesses ours every single time.

    This place was very cool. The atmosphere was awesome along with their service. The food was second to none. So much meat in the tacos it was just falling out. The margaritas were done very well as well. Will be back again next time I am in town.

    Chicken Tinga tacos

    Met with some girl friends for dinner a while ago. I've been here before and knew what to expect upon entering. The service was quick, she was attentive. I got the chicken tinga tacos, which are really good, but I wish it came with something more, or a sauce or something. Very flavorful otherwise! Not a fan of their black beans but overall the food is good. Wide variety of tequila and alcohol to choose from . Good for a date night!

    Tacos dorados de papa

    Great food. Was surprised that the burrito came with white rice inside but overall still pretty good. Perfect place for large groups, food came out all at once and we ate as a group which hardly happens at other restaurants. Our waiter was super nice and gave great recommendations on what to order. Would come again.

    My coworkers and I go here a lot when we meet up, and it hasn't let us down. The food is always delicious, the drinks are great, and the servers are always looking after us. Amazing place.

    Holliday cocktail!

    Seated quickly for lunch. The guacamole made at the table was a nice touch. True added details on the cocktail was a spooky surprise. I have always loved the decor.

    Beans and rice that came with the breakfast burrito

    My mom wanted to go here for the tequila because we were celebrating but as usual, cute places don't have the best food. The atmosphere was nice with good Latin music (reggaeton which is my favorite). We were seated quickly and they weren't too busy but our waiter didn't check on us as much as we would have liked. We got the breakfast burrito which was good but we didn't eat the rice or beans because they seemed heated up. I didn't like their green salsa either but the complimentary chips and salsa includes a delicious red salsa and beans that were really tasty. I got the guava French toast (not pictured, sorry) and it was more like little French toast sandwiches with cream cheese in the middle. It would have been better if the French toast bread was cooked or toasted a little longer, instead it was soggy My mom got the avocado toast (also not pictured) and was not a fan. She took one bite and didn't want it. I knew I wouldn't like from the description on the menu. She tried to send it back but they said she had to pay for it still. Not my normal experience but that's the restaurants choice. The margarita flight is actually secret menu but just know it's $32. It's plenty to drink but I only liked 2 out of the 4. Peach and guava were good. The tamarind had a chipotle rim that I didn't like and the drink itself tasted watered down. I've had better tamarind margaritas. The prickly pear tasted like it had mezcal and I personally don't like the smoky taste of it but you might! I'd come back for drinks and chips with salsa

    What a great find in Turlock! I've never been here.. but based on the handy dandy reviews on…read moreYelp... well, gave it a try. We were greeted immediately. cute inside with a full bar. a few beer handles too! even an IPA was flowing. it was packed. We were immediately served the warmest crispiest nice & salty chips! And the salsa... loved the salsa! I ordered the 1 item with beans and rice. $15.50. Cheese enchilada w/red sauce. The green sauce has pork in it:( our server was friendly and knowledgeable about menu. my friend ordered the carne asada tacos. I enjoyed my dinner. I would not rate the red sauce as my favorite. But it was good. I will definitely go back. also they have about 4 big screen TVs playing. Plenty of parking in back. I can't wait for warmer days as they have a cute little patio in front.

    If disappointment had a flavor, it would be the fajitas at El Charro…read more I ordered fajitas expecting that classic sizzling, seasoned, mouthwatering experience. What I got instead was what I can only describe as lightly warmed, paper-thin sadness. The meat was dry, completely unseasoned, and so thin I'm pretty sure it qualified as deli meat. I've had better flavor from airport food... and that's saying something. No sizzle, no aroma, no personality. Just a plate that looked like it gave up halfway through cooking. Service? Let's just say it matched the food--uninspired and forgettable. The only positive is that this meal actually helped my diet because after a few bites I had zero desire to keep eating. So technically... thanks for that? Would I come back? Only if I needed a reminder of what fajitas are not supposed to be. 0/10 for flavor 10/10 for reinforcing my self-control

    Came here to celebrate a graduate - on of course, graduation weekend. Considering how busy it was,…read morethe wait wasn't too bad. We had a party of 10+. Chips and dips were given upon being seated, drink orders taken, and were received fairly quickly. The chips themselves were delicious & so were the bean dips and salsa. For my entree, I ordered probably the most bland-sounding thing I have ever ordered. I ordered Dos Huevo's w/ Carne Asada. My plate was great! Carne asada cooked & flavored well & the eggs were also perfect. The rice it came with was decent, nothing crazy. I will say, oddly enough, on that warm day, I got a hot coffee to drink. The coffee was really good! I pretty much inhaled it, twice! Overall the place is nice, attentive, and good food!

    I never write Yelp reviews, but this place was extremely disappointing. We drove 45 minutes to try…read morethis restaurant, and it was not worth it at all. The drinks were awful. We ordered a michelada and a Cadillac margarita--both were bad. The michelada tasted watered down, and the Cadillac was just plain nasty. My fiancé ordered the chile verde and asked me to try it. I literally had to spit it out into a napkin. The flavor was that bad. We came with three other friends, and all of us agreed we would never return. For a Mexican restaurant, especially a chain, you'd expect flavorful, well-made food--but that was not the case at all. Very disappointed with this location in Turlock. Zero out of 10. Would not recommend.
