Just moved into Dos Palos, I tried the Asada Fries, and they are great! The fries were perfectly seasoned, as was the beef. Glad I tried this place and happy with the food, and the worker was friendly! Thanks a lot! read more

Tried Taco Grotto for the first time and had a great experience! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, curly fries, and a root beer float, and everything was really good. My boyfriend got the asada fries and an orange freeze, he said the orange freeze tasted just like an orange creamsicle. Our total came out to around $40, which felt reasonable for everything we got. The customer service was amazing, super friendly and welcoming. Definitely would come back! read more

Cheesburger is one of the best around along with fries! This is a whole new level. Top notch and no comparision to others.

Ordered a side of beans and rice and got a ketchup container full of beans and rice.I always get that without problems until I got handed a bird size container. read more

These are the best burgers! I'll take them over any chain, anytime. I've been eating their burgers since I was a boy, and they haven't changed! The tacos are also very good. Crispy shell, fresh lettuce and tomato. Old school, but very tasty. read more

Worker was very rude, I was the only person in line and it took 20 minutes for my 10 chicken nuggets. I asked for ranch and did not receive it. 2 stars are for the chicken nuggets, would have been better with my ranch. read more

Had me waiting 20 minutes for an order of cheese fries they ran out of nacho cheese and didn't tell me. They sprinkled chopped up cheese and said they'd heat up cold cheese and couldn't refund my order! Also said they couldn't make anything else in exchange because they were "closing" but helped the rest of the new cars coming in! read more

I really like the tacos here. I call them "home" tacos, because they are like the ones I make at home: seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce and cheese, tomatoes and a shell that is a fried corn tortilla; not a premade taco bell type shell nor a soft taco truck style. Don't get me wrong, I also love taco truck authentic style tacos, but I can get those all over the Valley. I usually get a couple or three when I have time to make the short detour passing through from 152. This last time I also got a bacon cheeseburger...I am glad I did! It was delicious! The bacon was crispy, the patty had a bit of char, the bun was toasted. The gentleman working there asked if I wanted sautéed onions and jalapeños, yes please! So yummy. read more

Holy SMOKES!!!! That double cheese burger had me rockin and a rollin!!! They somehow missed my car in line while in the drive thru, so they gave me a large fry instead of a small. The burger was great, and to be quiet honest, this burger would probably be my top option for a last meal (if my auntie couldn't make her world famous gumbo). I mean HOLY TOLEDO!! This darn burger made me damn near cry it was so good. All in all it's the only good thing this small town probably has to offer, unless you want Pizza Factory. read more

Not too bad. I'm not gonna lie. I had very very low expectations for this place, as I have had some terrible experiences with carne asada in small towns. Pork is my go to when mystery meat is suspected in a place like this, but I ended up getting the shredded beef tamale and asada fries. They were both very delicious, and mystery meat free. Very nice presentation on the food, with sour cream and fresh veggies on top. I'd say it's worth trying. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Minus one star for no carnitas. If you are called "taco grotto" you should have some bomb carnitas or al pastor for tacos. Not everybody likes beef or chicken all the time. read more

Great tacos, nachos, and burritos: JUST be aware of the ingredients. They put a LOT of jalepenos in some of their stuff. I love jalepenos, BUT I wasn't expecting it in a burrito I got. Spicy spicy. The burgers, on the other hand, could use a lot of work. read more

Ordered carne asada tacos and made us throw up, took too long, and seats are ripped up.

I Ordered a supreme burrito and Large drink the buritto had Little to no meat, and I kept chewing on fat pieces that I had to spit out. It was packed more with beans and rice and noooo flavor the onions were not grilled in the burrito and midway through I bit into something cold and it was COLESLAW!!! LOL WHAT?? that's a first. Coleslaw in a burrito? The Burrito does not come with salsa or tapatio or limes and I didnt bother to ask. A big let down since I thought it would be like a taco truck. They only carry fountain drinks so big let down if you want horchata. The large cup I ordered had more ice than soda I left thirsty and drank a water I had in my truck. The only thing good about this place is the cleanliness. I won't be coming back sorry, $10 is overpriced anyway. To the owners: My suggestion: hire a mexican-mexican in the kitchen. The food is too bland. Or drive to los banos to tacos el grullense and compare your burritos to theirs. They'll make yours look like a microwavable taco. read more

Burgers are great,fries are overly salty. The older workers give free food to ppl they know like their family members. Not everything is fresh except the vegetables. But for the love of god DONT order a milkshake. The way they milkshakes. 1) take a tub of ice cream out of the freezer 2) put tub inside microwave and microwave 3) scoop out icecream and put in blender, mix with milk 4) serve freezer burn milkshake to customer read more

This place is so good. Working out here for 3 days and came here 2 days, wishing I came here all 3 days. Owners are super nice. Not much to do or eat in Dos Palos but this place is a must have! read more

They specialize in greasy food. Don't come here and expect high quality meals. Their burgers are very sloppy and they fall apart but I love the tacos. I couldn't tell you what the meat mixture contains but I can say that it's mysteriously delicious. For a small town, it suffices. read more

I highly recommend trying taco grotto has the best hamburgers you can ever taste and the workers are so nice it's a very good restaurant to try! read more

Oh my gosh! Here I am driving through Dos Palos for the first time in years , so we yelped for somewhere to get a meal and low and behold we stop at Taco Grotto which is owned by our dear friends The Doucette's! Hi Pam Hi Greg Hi Matthew. It's Cari Johnson , Tommy Johnson's wife :) Hope all is well with you and your family read more

Only drive thru in town! I think it's owned by the same people who own Don's. The burgers are pretty similar (thin, greasy but plenty of LTO and a sturdy bun). I think most of the meat dishes are a little greasier than la ideal (the other Mexican place) but they're good. They double wrap their tacos, so you can actually split them up if you like. We like to order 2 soft carne asada tacos and split them into four. The meat is juicy and they use plenty of cilantro to garnish. And the tacos are only about a buck each! Best part, Diet Dr. Pepper on tap! (and accepts credit cards) Has seating inside, comfortable, cow hide upholstered chairs, big tables. read more

Food is always top notch, way better than across the street! 10/10 will always recommend. Never had a bad burger and the fries are always fresh and crispy. The drive thru gets packed sometimes and they still deliver top notch service. read more

Five out of five stars for a bargain burger and fries. For a few bucks, you can get yourself a nice cheeseburger with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and spread as well as an extremely generous portion of French fries, and either a small milkshake or a large soft drink. Given that it's a few bucks for some fast food, I couldn't ask for anything more. To be honest, it tasted just like an IN N OUT burger to me. Yum! In addition to their selection of burgers, Taco Grotto also has a wide variety of other food, including--you guessed it--tacos! If a Kobe burger is what you're looking for, Taco Grotto is not for you. However, come on by if what you want is yummy and generously portioned fast food. read more

It's good ol' small town fast food. A bit over priced, but if you're in the mood for some good junk food, this will hit the spot. I actually prefer their plain burger with sauce over other menu items, and they actually have a decent selection of food. The patties are thin, but it's packed with flavor because of that. It's been a tried and true stop for me when I'm in the area, and I recommend it! read more

Slow service, pricey, greasy. I always order tacos and fries. They have good flavor but leak with oil.

Absolutely the most ridiculous place to eat in dos palos I had just a simple order of two asada french fries one just the meat fries and cheese the other just no onion everything else on it and I received both with onion no jalapenos and when I called I was told "this is what you ordered there's nothing I can do for you tweaker" some management I'm going to spread this to everyone I know that if they got something wrong the customer is wrong read more

Terrible! I've twice got sick from eating at this place!!! The last time I was violently ill from a carne asada taco that was undercooked. Beware!!!! read more

Worst place to eat yeah it's a small town but for a small town it should have better food. I ordered chicken nuggets and fries their chicken nuggets weren't even cooked all the way was so raw still I asked for a refund or to replace it with something else for the same price but they wouldn't do it! I do not recommend eating there read more

See all

Came here for dinner and we all ordered bacon cheese burgers. They were really good! The bacon was real crispy and the hamburger it's self was great. It wasn't a huge burger but it was perfect. Their fries are a skinny style and are very good. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was their Asada fries. They had too much nacho cheese. read more

Stopped here on a whim with the family and went in the drive through. I ordered a , a couple of tacos and a fishwich. Yes i did say a fishwich. The burger was so so .. Tacos were decent but the fishwich was absolutely horrid. As we were sitting in the drive trough you can see them popping food in the microwave. That's where i knew it was going to be bad. The service was ok I guess but the food can not be overcome. I will not be going back unfortunately. read more

Great only if you like salty food. I got two beef burritos and I think there was more salt that meat in them! The flavor was so so, but I just can't get passed the sodium overload. They have burgers to corn dogs to Mexican food. No chicken either. I'm a chicken burrito guy so I was a little disappointed. read more

It's ok if your fries are cooked which is hardly ever and if you order a medium cheese fry you might want to get a receipt because they will give you a half empty small container and call it medium. The people there are kind of nice but the service is really slow and the prices are a bit high for partially uncooked food, especially if you don't get the size you paid for. Along with them always messing up my order in some way. Would give 0 stars if possible. read more

Not bad, the fries and burger that I ordered were okay, feel free to go & try for yourself

Worst burrito I've ever had in my life. Salty, over priced and empty. All you get is meat in a tortilla and I asked for everything. No beans, no rice, no cheese, no sour cream no nothing. Almost $8.00 for that and a soda which had a bug in the glass. I guess they charged extra for the bug and they charged me $.50 to use my debit card. I will never go there again. read more

The smell inside when you walk in is nasty, It looks clean but smells nasty we looked at each other and just wanted out. "The price was not reasonable just to try" I was craving a burrito. read more

worst burrito I ever had in my life. Beans had ZERO flavor. I've had tastier beans out of a can from the local grocery store. Not only that, whoever put it together, did not know what the heck they were doing. Could not wrap a burrito to save their life. One bite, and the bottom end opened up and the contents spilled out. One bright-side, the onions inside the burrito were tasty. read more

the food is very good it gets you very full.i recommend the burgers and nachos
