    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.

    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

    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.

    I was pleasantly surprised. I had stopped going here because the service was subpar. We had friends…read morein town from Louisiana and the husband had to have a Molcajete. A good friend of mine told me that the Molcajete at Mi Casa was the best in town. Apparently, he was right because both my friends ordered that and absolutely loved them. I had the nachos, and they were good. My wife had the chicken fajitas, and she loved them. A little bit of a char and great flavor. The tortillas are absolutely wonderful. They are handmade and tasty. Our server, Luz, was excellent. Sweet lady and very attentive. I'm glad I went back because I had given up on the place. I can't wait to go back.

    We got there and got greeted and said they would seat us and after 15 minutes we still had not been…read moreseated or acknowledged. We had to ask twice about getting seated. If they had acknowledged and been let know of a wait time that would have been fine but they just kept ignoring us. Then we got seated and we took a few minutes looking at the menu. Placed our order and waited an hour to get our food. Waited one hour for the bacon to be basically raw, the chile verde was disgusting. We also got a burrito that was gross it was burnt but didn't get a picture of that. Service sucked and food was disgusting. I will never go again. Just very disappointed since I was recommended that place by a friend.
