Trust me this is GOOD! I've tried so many Mexican restaurants and this by far has been my favorite! The torta with al pastor was very tasty and the meat was perfectly cooked, my husband asked for the carne asada plate and also everything was delicious! Definitely coming back! Service was great, ambiance was great! read more

The food here is decent,not bad not great. I liked the super nachos, there was plenty of toppings to go with the chips. Even enough toppings that I had to finish the remaining ingredients with a fork. I also got a beef and chicken chimchanga which I forgot to take a picture of. The chimchanga was decent as well. Chips and salsa pretty typical. All in all a typical taqueria. read more

Ordered a Chile Colorado super burrito, meat was tough not much flavor. The burrito had very little meat inside, but a lot of onions. Left more than half of it behind, chips were the best thing I ate. Salsa bar was not very clean, will not be returning. read more

I have been a customer for a long time. I refuse to now go back. On July 11th I went in to get breakfast burritos. I ordered three of the same kind left a tip and it was for to go. When the burritos were complete the called out the order but I didn't jump up to get it because it wasn't what I ordered so I though it must have been someone else's. The burritos then sat there for over 5 minutes until the lady the rang me up came and handled them to me. I asked her what kind they were and I told her that's not what I ordered. Instead she started getting a huge smirk and laughing saying that I did. NO. Instead of offering to remake she kept fighting me on it. Needless to say, it was the WORST customer service tactic I have ever seen. I would have just taken them. But her approach was SO rude to me I was even embarrassed. I refuse to now go back. read more

$20 for super burrito very small taste so bad. I threw it away. The meat is chopped up smaller than the rice and tastes horrible I threw it away. I won't not be coming here ever again! read more

This place use to be good but has gone down in service. Ordered enchilada combo plate. Beans seemed burnt and food had no flavor. Got a michelada and it did not taste good. Michaelada had a celery stalk that was soft and not fresh or crisp. Michelada was not tasteful at all. Sorry to see this place go down in service. read more

Walked in expecting normal Mexican food after ordering I notice one burrito and a drink is 20$. The quality of the food was average. Didn't have and limes with any meals? Is this a Mexican restaurant? Worse part is next day got food poisoning I would not recommend this place at all go around the corner to McDonalds read more

I use to come here many years ago and when passing through one morning I decided to grab a which burrito. Chips were ok but salsa...the tomato juice there trying to pass as salsa was interesting to say the least. Burrito was ok , meat was decent only other commission was sour cream only on one end of burro literally opened it to find a glob in one end only read more

The food is OK service is actually kind of bad. It's not really even service. It's like self service. They do have a good selection of salsa and the aqua Fresca is good but ambience is totally lacking and I don't know there's just better places to go read more

This is our go to place when we are running back and forth through Modesto. Always consistant service, the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. We stopped in for an early lunch and I decided on the chili verde platter. It came with rice, beans, lettuce, pico and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose corn tortillas. The pork was tender, the green sauce had a little kick, The rice and beans and good flavor. My husband had a carne asada super burrito, he enjoyed it. The red and green salsa were great, we got chips with our order. You order at the counter then they bring your food out to you. When our food was delivered, she offered more chips. Big servings, I brought half my plate home. Many options on their menu. They did have pepsi products on fountain, bottled coke and jarritos and a selection of canned soda. They also had the bagged cookies next to the register, I think 3 or 4 different types of cookies, I got the chocolate chip, SO GOOD! The dining room is a bit dated, but they do a great job keeping it clean. Wait wasn't long and our food was good and hot. We will be back~ read more

I ask for a fried mojarra plate with rice and beans and the fish was bad it had a bad odor and I ask very nice if they can give me another one and they said no the fish is good so no replace plate and no money back not even an apology service bad because of the answer and of course the ambiance not so good after all this situation read more

Had some food catered for a party and it was excellent. Placing the order was easy and effortless and all my special requests and accommodations were executed perfectly. Reasonably priced, and great portions for the price as well. The food was delicious, freshly prepared and we had no complaints only questions of where we got the food from. Walking into the restaurant to pick up my food I enjoyed the clean and relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen was within view and you can see that it's clean and always in production ensuring your food is fresh. read more

Worst carnatis tacos ever super dry and tasted like jerkey tacos ... will never eat there again ... thumbs down..

Call up to see if they have Breakfast Burritos. Said yes. Had little time. Left my Chihuahua to get groomed. So I walked in to the Taqueria. It was Empty. So I asked the girl for the Breakfast Burrito. Then Five guys walked in After me to Order. Talking in Spanish to the Cook. So see I'm a lite Skin Mexican Man. So I walked to my table and waited for my Burrito. Mind you it's 957 am. When I Ordered. So ten minutes later I go up and ask what's taking so long to make the Burrito. It's only beans eggs and Ham. And I Notice the cook making the food for the five guys that came in after me. And ask again what's taking so Long. So the cook finally starts the burrito in less than Three minutes it was done. It's 1015 am. Almost half an hour. To make a 3-4 minute burrito. So when the cook gave the girl the food. He was Giving me Dirty Looks. So he thought I didn't Speak Spanish. And I ask him why the Mad Looks at me. He was Surprised that I spoke to him in Spanish. I Don't Recommend this Place. Just for the BS I went through. Believe me. I always give Five Stars to the Taquerias I've eaten. Only gave it one. Cuz it wasn't letting me post this Review. Stay away from this Lousy Place. And their Attitude read more

Disappointed. I didn't feel like driving far so I just walked over after visiting the pharmacy. Spent $25 on super nachos and two beers. Carnitas was the recommendation from the nice waitstaff behind the counter. It was very dry and crispy (almost powder like), over salted, and had no flavor. Guacamole had no avocado in it. Beans had no flavor. Cheese cooled to a plastic consistency. Ambiance is a cacophony of loud music and all of the TV's have their volume up as well, so you can't focus on anything. It's a sensory nightmare. The decor needs some love. It's clean and the waitstaff was friendly, so 1 star each. Nothing else to be proud of here. Won't be back for a long time. read more

This restaurant is so disappointing. The service and food is terrible. I have been there four or five times and noticed that it is consistently mediocre. They have shorted us twice on our to go orders. One time the cheese enchiladas had burnt cheese that was thick and rubbery. And another time the service was so slow that we wanted to leave and go to McDonald's. read more

Carnitas. They have such a strong hold on me. It's hard for me to order anything else. So when I hear that a certain joint happens to make great carnitas, they get my attention. And if it turns out to be true, they keep it. The carnitas here are tender, juicy, & appropriately crisp. And they're loaded w flavor. The best word to describe them? Succulent. I've never eaten inside, since I always order to go. The aroma they fill the car with is full on intoxicating. My mouth waters. This is a no-frills taqueria. And it's a lot bigger than your average taqueria. Big tables, bad lighting, zero aesthetic. Your basic & typical taqueria attire. But that's fine. They've got good salsas, especially the green salsa. And they've got great carnitas tacos. The portions are generous too. I always need to empty out about half of my tacos before I can effectively pick them up to eat. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the last couple of times there were a couple of very fatty pieces; pieces that shouldn't have made the cut into the tacos & should have been thrown out instead. But the flavor & texture of the meat? 4 stars. read more

I had my daughter call in an order because we don't live close and they immediately put her on hold and it was for quite some time so I drove to place our order and when I got there I asked if they still took call in orders and the guy said yes and I let him know that I was placed on hold and I was still on hold he smiled and grab the phone and hung up the phone smh my order could have been ready by the time I got there instead I had to another 15-20 minutes got my food on top of my 20 minute ride there all because the guy with blue eyes left my daughter on hold worse part when I got there they had no other orders being made or people waiting for there food read more

Love getting the quesadilla suisa here and the horchata drink. Good food at a decent price.

Not sure what happened to this place but it used to be good. The last time I went I was a little disappointed.. but today we decided to give it another chance. I ordered asada nachos , 2 asada tacos plain , 2 asada everything 1 al pastor . 1 agua Jamaica and 1 Orange Juice. The agua and Orange Juice were the best things we had. The nachos chips were i think double dipped in oil... not even crispy chip... it was super oily bendable kinda. The tacos did t have annnnnnnnny flavor it was so sad! Lol I've never had tacos so tasteless. The girl that took my order was friendly, but I should have cancelled my order as soon as she said it would be ready 10 minutes. The tacos did have a lot of meat... but i would rather have tacos less meat more flavor than more meat no flavor read more

SUPER rude on the phone. Just tried to order and the girl acted like I was bothering her and everything I said was wrong.Go to the one on Claus, better service, kinder people, better food. read more

Do not get their tacos de lengua!!! Literally gave me the worst food poisoning 4 hours later. I don't live in town so on the way back home I had to stop on the side of the road and throw up. 0 stars if I could. read more

I've eaten here twice, have had the super nachos with carne asada and the beef fajitas. Food portions are good, service is good. The seasoning on the meat needs to be stronger. It's bland. Everything else is good. read more

The shrimp cocktail was so flavorless and didn't have hardly any shrimp. They used to be so good

I had a super burrito the burritos used to be good and moist this burrito was dry and tasteless I ate half and threw the rest in the garbage can the salsa also has no taste and is watery I won't be going to taqueria carolina anymore read more

Very rushed and unprofessional. If you want to charge me $5 for a tostada at least they can make it worth it

Not good at all!! Very unprofessional and the flautas very very Burt. Went to return them but gave me the same Burt food. Never stepping foot in here again. read more

Very rude staff, ladies don't welcome you or even make you feel welcomed. Definitely never coming back

This place used to be really good. Its now basically a waste of money. Taco Bell is better than this place now. Not only are the employees unfriendly and unprofessional, they don't take accountability for their mistakes. They have messed up our order 3 times in a row. Today we ordered 3 burritos to go and they messed up all of them. They were all mismarked and we had to open every burrito to try to figure out which meat was what. So i ended up with the "mystery meat" or should i say mystery Fat pieces. At minimum this is the poorest quality meat I've ever seen...at best it was total neglect by the cook by what he put in the food. I will not be returning here ever again. Disappointing it is close to my office too.... but it's worth the drive somewhere else to get a quality product from a business that actually appreciates you. read more

Taqueria Carolina - Look at that beef.....mmmmm Half the burrito was like that..... stay away from this place - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

We had another wonderful meal at Taqueria Carolina and we will most definitely be back.

DISGUSTING AND DIRTY. I never review, but this dude made our food with his bare hands, no gloves and is unsanitary. Pressing the meat and everything on my food WITH HIS HANDS. I still can't get over this.. not only that, the customer service sucks and the food was horrible.. I can't believe this is even in service tbh read more

Amazing asada burritos - not sure why they have a 3 star rating, this place is bomb!!

This place used to be good, but the quality of the meat used has gone down. I bought a chicken burrito here and the meat had so many nerves and gristle. I don't think I'll be coming back here. read more

It's been a few years since I've last been. But a found myself back in the area and thought I'd pay y'all a visit. Once again you did not disappoint. Made to order, Fresh, Fast, Legit. Ordered 3 Super Chile Verde, Carne Asada, Chicken Quesadilla. All were Great. Great Flavor, Good Heat, all the Bells and Whistles. Stuffed into a Mexican meal Coma we were. The salsa bar was Fresh and Fully stocked and not all tore up and It was the lunch hour. You guys were busy. But were hustling large orders out quickly. Still ranks in my Top Five Best Taqueria's. Thanks again. Keep doing what your doing and we'll keep coming back. Hopefully it wont be so long until I get to pay you another visit. The Navarro's of Oxnard read more
