    El Taco Alegre Pink Machine

    What can you say about El Taco Alegre; TOP NOTCH MEXICAN FOOD....i decided to try for the first time the whole queso-birria hype (I'm from the old school where melted cheese only belongs in Quesadillas, Enchiladas, or Chiles Rellenos) butt I must say; I'll come back to Hilda (owner and head chef of The Happy Taco) to place an order of Queso-Birria Tacos....although to be honest you can't go wrong with anything you order, the food will put a smile on your face and have you tapping your feet in joy as munch away.

    El Taco Alegre is delicious. Great prices, good portions and the salsa has a nice kick to it. Definitely recommend. Fast lunch spot.

    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.

    I have seen so much traffic in and out for quite some time, so had this place on my "try it" list…read more The exterior looks nice, the lobby is pretty tasteful. So here are the pros: Service was good, chips, salsa and bean dip came out pretty quick. The bean dip is really good. The salsa is a little spicy and they don't have a milder option for spice intolerant folks like my wife. I enjoyed the salsa, she didn't. We ordered 2 chicken items, Garlic Chicken and diabla chicken. Both essentially the same item but with different sauces. The Garlic chicken was good for a bit, and then became pretty overpowering. The sauce is a butter sauce, that would probably be great on some pasta. The Diabla chicken was anything but spicy. The red sauce it was in was about as spicy as milk. The pickled jalapeño slices served on the plate were extremely spicy in comparison and they didn't have much heat to them. The service was much better than the food. I'm really surprised they have the amount of traffic they do with the food as lacking as it is. Might be the bar is where the draw is.
