They hand make them and you can tell have the authentic Mexican taste! They do have a small staff. All the workers I encountered were super friendly. More importantly, they have a bunch of variety in their small store and it's not crazy overpriced like some other Mexican stores. They do carry items from Mexico and you can also send money to Mexico or other places if needed. I def recommend ordering Mexican food here! It's decently priced and fresh!

I got a chicken and asada Superior Burrito, with red sauce on top and a soda, and she was very accommodating when asked for additions or substitutions. The seating was pretty open since I was the only customer. When the food arrived, needless to say, I was SHOCKED at its girth (lol); I can't believe it fit in the carton so easily. I was thankful for the knife and fork, because that thing was gonna go all over me if I tried to two-hand it. The Burrito was very flavorful and fulfilling; I polished off a good 2/3rds of it before taking the rest home. Service was very attentive and nice and I would recommend coming again.

Beans can be tricky, many Mexican restaurants have lost me over beans. So, I suggest you get a side of beans and a bean burrito. The asada tacos are another smart order, and throw in a cheese quesadilla for the ride home. The service is great at Mario's. The ambiance is old school, hole in the wall, walk up. You can eat inside or outside but I suggest you take that food home and eat. It can get a little sketchy after dark.

The staff here are fantastic, and portions are huge at awesome prices. My mom was excited to see menudo on the menu and it was chock full of tripe! Another guy was eating the menudo while we were ordering and cautioned us to take it easy with the chili oil, which we did. Good tip! My niece attends UC Merced so we'll have four more years of visiting her and this restaurant! It's right off 99 so easy to hop back on the freeway to head back to the Bay Area. We even picked up some al pastor and chicken for tacos from the carniceria, and it was also delicious!

I asked if the rice and beans could be served in separate plates because my child wont eat them if they touch. The owner refused & said I could buy them separately if I wanted them in different containers. WHAT?!!! I was not asking for substitutions or extras, simply for the beans to be served separately so they didn't spill over onto the rice.

Located right around…read morethe corner from Merced High School, they have a private parking lot, which makes stopping in super convenient. The first thing that caught my attention was how amazing the meat market and taqueria look. Everything is incredibly clean, polished, and actually feels surprisingly upscale. They have a great seating area, so you can sit down and enjoy your meal comfortably. The salsa bar is seriously something special! They have around 20 different items with just about every flavor and type of accompaniment you could imagine. There are so many choices that you could probably create a different combination every time you visit. They open early at 8 AM and even offer breakfast burritos, plus they have Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday specials in the taqueria. They also have Agua Fresca, which is always a nice addition. I had the breakfast burrito and it was wonderful. But honestly, the salsa bar took it over the top! The owner's sister also makes homemade flan and tres leches cake, so there are definitely some great options for dessert. I highly recommend stopping in and giving 3 Hermanos Carniceria & Taqueria a try. I know I'll be coming back--and honestly, I might come back just for that salsa bar alone!

Ordered food using DoorDash, so I can't speak to in person experience only on the food itself…read more We ordered the Nachos, a burrito and 3 tacos for dinner. The Nachos: more cheese than meat or beans so half the chips were soft & falling apart by the time it was delivered. The chips are thin so they can't stay in the cheese long enough to stay crispy. All you taste is cheese because the asada is bland. The Burrito: First bite my husband took had a bone in it, luckily he didn't chip a tooth or choke. He spite it out, tried to continue to eat but found another so ended up throwing it out. The Tacos: 1 el pastor, 1 pollo, 1 cadne asda. The el pastor was flavorful but dry, the pollo was good and the cadne asda was on the bland side. They included a truck load of salsa but no limes. The food wasn't horrible but with the fact that we have soo many great taco spots in Merced, no need to waste your money here.

They have a couple of tables and chairs if you cannot wait to eat at home. They also take orders over the phone which is convenient. My favorite is the al pastor burrito supreme. The magical blend of spices, sparse--yet delicious chunks of warm pineapple(surprisingly delicious cause I have grown to enjoy this) give you that slightly sweet, savory and creamy flavor with contrasting textures of the meat to cheese, to fresh cilantro and onions ratio. The wonderful support from their salsa makes my taste buds fully invested. Top off every bite with a squeeze of lemon and once that runs out I dare you to bite the pickled jalapeño and squeeze the jalapeño juice over every bite. I enjoy the cabeza tacos as well. They got their stuff figured out and I am a loyal customer. Enjoy! P.s. sorry, no pictures!

So we ordered I got a carnitas torta, hubby got chilaquiles and baby boy got loaded nachos everyone else got tacos or quesa birra the torta was great and huge the chilaquiles were not normal they were made with the chips they give you at the table before your meal it was like they threw the chips in a pan and threw the salsa in a cooked them they forgot the egg . It wasn't very tasty also the loaded nachos were ok and the birria tacos were so so. Consume was way to thick . Tacos were bland no cilantro onions or salsa on them just the tortilla and meat . Only three pieces of shrimp on the taco and they were not street tacos they were bigger. Atmosphere is ok small space but staff was friendly
