    Greasy tortilla
    Anry F.

    I came to visit my mom in Turlock from the bay and was really craving some valley taco truck. I got there around 9 PM and chose Elvias because it had no customers when I arrived and hidalguense was packed. I didn't think anything of it because usually the food is good there but I was wrong. I ordered a supreme burrito and got a regular burrito for $10 which is the price of the supreme burrito. No sour cream and barely any cheese. They also did not include any radish and only put two napkins for 3 orders, my burrito, my moms 2 tacos and my her husbands 4 tacos. The food was extremely greasy . My moms tortillas looked like they oiled them up and threw them in the microwave. My burrito was literally dripping so much oil that I couldn't eat it without getting grossed out. We will not be coming back here, it is $2 overpriced for extremely poor quality food. It's kinda of sad because I read the paragraph about the founder of the taco truck and they're not delivering her dream. It is possible that it was just the young worker but I will not take my chances and waste my money again.

    Very slow in their food preparation, asked for a refund to go somewhere else really slow hope you have some time.

    Carne asada tacos, with lemon, not lime, and a Jarritos Limón.

    I've looked for this truck in the past and have never found it until tonight. Prices are fair and the service was reasonably friendly. With two carne asada tacos and a regular burrito for my buddy, plus Jarritos and Dr. Pepper, it wasn't cheap or expensive--just what I'd expect. With some folding tables and chairs, they were ready for a small crowd, along with the other two trucks in the parking lot. Take this for what it is--they're not as good as what you'll find in San Jose--there you'll find the best in the country, at least, for my taste. However, these are probably the best from a truck anywhere along state road 99, and I'd put them up again La Costa in Manteca any day, but then, those are walking distance from home.

    Tacos are my favorite at this truck! Tacos are only $1.50, and I usually get 3 with carne asada (steak) and ask for extra red salsa(no charge). The atmosphere here is like any normal taco truck location, outside, and hot. There are lots of flies trying to land on your food, but there is a large shade covering tables for people to sit. The super burritos are my second go to with extra salsa and costs $7! The people are friendly, and speak both Spanish and English and accommodate your orders if you have any changes in an order. There are 4 taco trucks in the same parking lot, but Elvia's has the quickest service and takes card along with a Stanislaus state 10% off your order. I really recommend this taco truck! Don't miss out on these bomb tacos!

    The food is just second to none. Personal favorite: "pastor tostada.. no sour cream and tomatoes" Lol The staff is very personable and accommodating. My mom English speaking mom just hands them the phone and they take my order over the phone.. more often than not they already recognized my mom and know my usual. Very rarely do you get such family style service in this day and age, and the food is the bonus!! Pastor tacos = MIND BLOWN!

    vegatarian burrito.

    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.
