    Carnitas Nachos. Only Sour Cream, Meat & Cheese.
    Jessica C.

    Husband and I had a lunch date on a Friday at 2pm. Its very clean, bright sunlight in the windows and small fountain inside the restaurant was cute. They have a music box to play songs for $1. The food was tasty and they had a salsa variety. The waiter was a young man and knowledgeable. 10/10 stars. I would definitely come back to eat here again.

    I agree with most of the reviews on here. It's definitely on the wrong side of town. This little gem is in a little sketchy strip mall where most businesses are closed, make sure to lock you cars. However, the food here is so delicious. One of the best taquerias in Modesto. Today my husband and I went and this is how it went. He ordered the Menudo, the portion was generous, and so flavorful. They serve it with all the garnishes, oregano, cilantro, onion and lemon, and you have the choice of corn or flour tortillas. 10/10 I ordered the red chilaquiles, these come served with rice and beans, and two fried eggs sitting on top of the chilaquiles. 10/10 We have been here many times and everything we have ordered had always been very delicious. I can't stop thinking about my husbands food, think I will pick some up for to-go for dinner tonight. The service is also great, very friendly people, professional and they bring you out your food fairly quick!

    Pozole Tasty, tender chunks of pork, lots of hominy. Side of cabbage, onions, strong oregano, and fried whole chiles (not real spicy) Happy with it

    Our favorite place on Wednesdays. Karaoke with Clovis King. The BEST food. Great atmosphere. Soon will have karaoke on Sundays too. We come all the time for the great service. We love Miriam. Family here !! My favorite is the delicious Shrimp Salad.

    Went here for lunch. I ordered the carnitas flautas with flour tortillas. It came with rice and beans. The flautas were pretty big so I wasn't sure if I could eat them all. They were a little on the burnt side for me but I guess that made them more crispy. The rice and beans had good flavor. I only wish the carnitas was a little more shredded and less chunky inside.

    Super Tacos.!

    Nice clean place and very friendly. They make sure you feel welcomed and they appreciate your business. The food is great.! It's cooked right in the open. This is my go to spot for lunch.

    First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

    Ordered a carne asada burrito with no rice. Carne asada overall had pretty good flavor and texture…read moreto it. Smaller pieces, but very few were chewy so it was cut well. Avocado and sour cream made for a creamy balance to the carne asada and beans. Size wise was solid and for the price of $17 not bad at all. Overall I'd definitely come back 7.6/10

She did a good job explaining anything that may be different from other restaurants, and knows the menu so well. The food was so good. The table was completely silent inhaling the food as it was brought out. Our food was brought down less than 5 minutes after sitting down, and it was hot and fresh. The guacamole is delicious and their chips are really good too. Definitely some of the best mexican food i've found around here recently. The dining area is kind of small, but it wasn't too crowded and felt very homey. We got the crispy tacos plate (asada) and the taco salad (asada). The beans and rice are so amazing, and don't be afraid to ask for a slight change to the item! She was SO accommodating and made extra sure that what we asked for was done. The party trays seemed reasonably priced as well and I will definitely be recommending them for my next event and to anyone hungry!

The flavor was incredible, the texture was spot on, and the meat was lean with no fat. These tacos are the real deal !!! filling, flavorful, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If you're on the fence about coming here, don't be! The food and customer service are both top-notch. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town. Highly recommend!

The chicken taco was good but a little on the dryer side . We added the house salsa and that made it better . The chilli relay is were huge . Lots of batter . It was fluffy . The sauce on the rellanos was just ok . More tomato based than chili based . Again added the house salsa and it was much better . Chips and salsa were great and the warm beans on the side was a bonus . I had a skinny margarita and it was perfect and strong . I'd give this place a 7 out of 10 . Decent . Pretty good flavor. The grilled chicken could have add more carbon flavor and the rellano sauce could have been a little more flavorful .

    Basic Mexican food…read more I ate at the Dale Rd Las Casuelas location with a group of 5 on a Sunday evening. When we arrived, there was no wait and many empty tables. It is a pretty standard local Mexican joint. It is very casual and family friendly. There is a small bar separate from the main dining room. There is also a large back room that can be reserved for special events. The decor was nice and the music was fine. We were provided chips, salsa, and beans. I was not a fan of these. The chips were dense and the beans were flavorless. The salsa was alright. It was pretty hot but wasn't utilized much because the chips weren't great. For my main dish, I ordered the Supreme Quesadilla with beef. It came with a side of beans and rice. I liked that the beans had cheese but I wasn't impressed with either side. The rice felt a little bit undercooked to me. The quesadilla itself was pretty good. It was very cheesy and had a lot of beef. I appreciate the large dollops of guacamole and sour cream. The service was disappointing. It took an extremely long time for the waiter to come and take our order. We were sitting there ready to order for probably 20 minutes or longer. Once we received the food, we did not see our waiter again. We were in desperate need of a water refill but the waiter never came by. To me, the service felt very slow and unenthusiastic.
