“Awesome cocktails and the mushroom pizza is out of this world!”
“Delicious! Was on a family history vacay to find my roots. This was the food my ancestors cooked. So authentic! Made from scratch. Amazing flavors, creative and beautiful presentation.”
“One of our favorite spots. We have brought several friends and family and boast about the incredible food and service. Only disappointment is the bathrooms. Such a beautiful location with very poor kept bathrooms. Tonight we have a reservation for 2 and got offered high top or the table next to the bathroom when every table but 3 were open. We try to make our date nights special tonight was disappointing with these options. (We reluctantly chose the table next to the bathroom) Our server Priscilla was so sweet she made up for it. But even when we were leaving there were still empty tables. It’s the little things like that, that will make us rethink our choice next time.”

“We love coming for a sweet treat! But always remember why we drive all this way, when we are met with such a friendly staff and atmosphere! Bonus that we can sit on swings while eating our treats ❤️ our favorite is the bubble waffles with some delicious ice cream!”

“Alison’s Cafe is a gem! They have plenty of seating and a drive thru. It is a small business and may take a little longer than the corporate businesses, but the quality and taste is well worth it. Also, your dollar is doing more good here! The owner was working and was a complete sweetheart. I ordered a butterscotch latte and a cheese danish. Both were delicious! I spent about $9.50 which is very reasonable. You can’t beat quality, great service and a wonderful owner! Highly recommend!”
“Homemade ice cream is so good. The different flavors through out the seasons and just out of the ordinary are so great tasting. I mean off the wall flavors that are actually very good. I recommend stopping by this quaint Lil ice-cream shop. Pics taken from website not mine I get so excited I forget to take my own. 😂”
“Holly Molly Most Excellent. Ribeye & Filet Mignon dinner Everything was perfect. A new favorite Steak House for sure. 5 STAR + Thank you.”
“Jams 209 is our weekly or bi-weekly spot that my family goes too. We love the music, food and our favorite person is Erin because of her great customer service. She goes above and beyond. As regulars we can count on Erin to make sure service is smooth and very hospitable. My husband and I have a weekly lunch date or biweekly and our family enjoys dinner together as often as we can. Thanks Erin for always having a smile, enjoying what you do and for always providing great customer service!! Even when it’s busy you manage to take time to say hello to us and make us feel like family. Your the best!!”

“So glad I found a nice, clean, and friendly MOD store that takes care of me. This is Eric by the way. Again, Malinda and Natalia take care of me and ensures I get the best deal, if there is a discount, free offer or other. Love me some MOD pizza. (*Updated* 12 FEB 2026)”

“Our family ate here a couple weeks ago. Everyone ordered something different and we shared. This will be our go to restaurant for family gatherings. The service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfectly. Sometimes we go to restaurants and there is something on the menu that we won’t order again. Not here!! We are from Modesto and this is now our favorite restaurant in the Central Valley. We’re making a reservation right now for 10 of us next week”
“I’ve been coming to Mariachis for 20 years now. I’ve since left the nest and live in NYC and nowhere I can find there can even come close to the molcajete from Mariachis at Turlock, CA and now I insist on visiting here whenever I come back to the hometown. I’ve taken all my friends, my family, and now my fiancée here and salivate thinking about it weeks ahead of time.
Un molcajete de pollo con tortillas de maíz! Try it! You simply must!”
“We dined here on a Tuesday night as the only customer dining in the restaurant. They had
multiple to go orders while were there, as I believe this is the norm for earlier in the week. We have dined here on fri and sat and there are more dine in patrons. The tables are set up nice with cloth napkins and condiments on each one. We ordered the combo plates which arrived steaming hot and tasty, with plenty of leftovers for the next day. My only concern was the gung pow chicken had more vegetables and peanuts than chicken. The chicken was cut up very small and difficult to find among the veggies. My husbands sweet and sour pork were large enough pieces that he asked for a knife to cut it bite size.This is our favorite Chinese restaurant, however I will order another protein next time.”
“The servers are always courteous, always ready & willing to please, management checks in on guests , food comes out in a timely manner & most always the servers seem to work there and are smiling. Other restaurants could learn from them for sure!! Great tasting food, healthy portions to where we always take home, a variety of food for everyone’s different tastes & great tasting drinks.”
“my favorite barfriender works there, and my local friends frequent the establishment.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I was there last night at about 7 pm, the young man who rang up my order was friendly and polite. He seemed very happy asked me to pull into spot 1 to wait for my order, the lady Maria who brought out my 2 bags was so very nice and professional, I had to ask her name because she was so kind. Great job whoever hired these two, they are excellent workers !”
“This venue was absolutely fabulous! The owner and her family were so helpful, kind and amazing. The space perfect for any kind of event. I highly recommend and if I will be a repeat customer”
“Ate at Vito’s Friday evening for our anniversary, food and service outstanding as usual!! Brussels sprouts app was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time- full of bacon bits, parm, cream sauce, baked perfectly, with balsamic & basil on top. Waitstaff is always so pleasantly friendly and helpful. Thank you!”
Takeout Restaurants
“My first time trying out this location since they are not located in the Bay Area that I know of. Not a lot of coffee options or a big menu to choose from but I tried the pumpkin cream cold brew and it was good but nothing extraordinary. They have Red Bull energy drinks that sounded better”
“This food truck is a hidden gem. I recently tried their Super Quesabirria and it was incredible. Everything on the menu, from the quesadillas to the tacos and burritos, is always flavorful and cooked just right. The service is super fast and the staff is really friendly. If you're looking for authentic and tasty food, you definitely need to check them out!”
“It’s a great atmosphere tons of fun on Thursday. They have karaoke Friday they always have a DJ and Saturdays. They have live bands great place to have fun with your friends and just let loose safe atmosphere.”

“If you are tired of eating Mexican food and no disrespect to Mexican food or tacos! "I love Mexican food!" Well, come on out and try a Little Taste of El Salvador. Here, they serve the Pupusas, which I can say is like going to Mexico and getting tacos at every corner. The pupusas are feel with smash Chicharon, cheese. Loroco, etc... different flavors for your taste buds! I had 3 types when I visited them. I had one loroco con queso, one Chicharon and queso, and a revuelta that is a mixture of Chicgaron, cheese, beans, and perhaps something else I'm a sucker for Pupusas, and this place did make my taste buds say yummy for my tummy ? ??. I will definitely come back again. The price for the pupusas are $4 each, and as you can see in one of my pictures, they are the size of a plastic fork. The reason why I measure it like that it's because in some other places they are smaller and thinner and not enough feeling in them, oh they are a little bit more pricey. "I really hope that this place will sell them that size or a little bit bigger and a little bit thicker and a little bit more stuff!"
On another note, they can be vegetarian order then without the meat.
Please let them know that you read this review and that Juan sent you!
This place is
Yummy For my Tummy ? ?!!!
Vegetarian options: Yes, it can be vegetarian if you do not add the meat.
Kid-friendliness: Yes
Wheelchair accessibility: Well, there's plenty of space to maneuver a wheel chair. It's a food truck, and I'm pretty sure they can come out and take your order.”
“The reviews had me pumped up about the burrito. It was good but a little overly spicy for my taste. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but it does a job with filling portions. I do feel the burrito could be a little bigger as I tasted a lot of tortilla. The California burrito was the better of the two burritos I tried but I really can't do that nacho cheese. I would give them another try but order something different. I heard the tacos de tripas are good. Overall this is a average taco truck. I'm coming from Merced and there is a lot of really great trucks there so it's why I rated this only 4 stars.”
“First time visiting in Arlington Texas. We came on a Sunday after church. We waited about 30 mins which was ok considering. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming. Kyleigh was our server and she has an amazing spirit ❤️. Very kind hearted and sweet. She offered very good suggestions. I'm from Louisiana and wanted to try this place. It states that it is southern cooking with a California twist. Although the food was very delicious, I'd have to say I tasted more California than anything. Hey, that's not a bad thing though. I'm always interested in trying different twist on southern style/Cajun styles. Overall, we enjoyed it and we'll bring the rest of the family. Great food and atmosphere. Thanks again Kyleigh!! Hope you will serve us again.”
“Excellent food and super helpful and friendly staff member. She let us try several things so we ended up being very happy with our lunch. Highly recommend taking the food to go and going across the street to the pond on the college campus but watch out for the large cobra chickens 🐍 🐤 (geese)! Enjoy!”

“Excellent taco truck! Super tasty burritos and the birra taco with the handmade taco was sooo good!!! I really like that they serve their food with fresh cool cucumber slices, pickled red onion and lemon. The seating area was also very nice and clean. Looking forward to going back another time!”
“Our family has been going to Sushi Cuisine for yrs now. The service is great, staff is friendly and we really enjoy the food. We also like the portion sizes and the flavor is great!”

“We hired Dos Hermanos for our wedding food trucks and they did an absolutely fantastic job!! Jess Caldwell and all of the truck staff were so accommodating, attentive, and wonderful to work with. All of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the food and atmosphere set by our food trucks and noted what great work the staff did cooking, serving, and setting up! Thank you SO MUCH for making the trip to NJ for us– you made our day so special and fun!! Will definitely be stopping by again for some lunch in Philly!”
“I believe this is the same truck I want to on dates before I moved to Florida. If it is the same I just wanted to say that I still remember every little/big bite of The Carnitas burrito and it still makes my mouth water and drool starts to form. If I get to bring my kids to Cali I promise we will be there. Sure wish we could get Mexican food like that here in central Florida”
“I like this location. Plenty of parking all around in front, and good service!
Ladies do a great job servicing us and are patient with our choices! Brought my Dad in for the Banana Split deals cause he loves those every now and then. We sat inside and ate like little kids enjoying our ice cream!
So many options with flavors toppings and fudge or caramel drizzles!
I come here every so often for the mocha blasts and miss the “white mochas” from years ago! We didn’t notice the other side of ice cream by the front door and only the front side of ice cream in front of the register but theirs some more on the far left side! We’ll be back again definitely !”
“amazing Food !!! Best Barbeque meats ever !!! a must try in Turlock ....”

“Enjoy the Salads, chili, potatoes, etc. I love the pecan chicken apple salad, which I had tonight, it was tasty, fresh and huge for 1 person. Quality ingredients and the drive thru was fast and very nice staff. Perfect place for when you are in a pinch and need a quick meal.”
“Great Great place to eat! Today I had the pleasure of meeting server Alxsa. She is an absolute doll!! Extremely polite, attentive and has great presence. This location, in my opinion, has the best overall atmosphere and food. Always very well maintained. Staff does an awesome job everytime. Thanks again to Alxsa. She rocked it!!!”
“First of all food was delicious this Tuesday night. Had the new French onion chard. The best if you ask me. Lobby cashier was so friendly and had such a positive attitude and greeted my party with a smile. Made ordering a great experience. I’m a regular and she’s definitely a new crew member I’m glad they added. Restaurant was clean, although there were a couple flies flying around. Can’t wait to stop by after soccer practice.”

“The food is great and their service can be hit and miss. I do appreciate the variety of selection they offer and the bottomless sides. Their “dirty sodas” are so good too! Highly recommend you try one if you want something a little different. Overall Red Robin is a good choice for a quick bite or delicious burger. Their Donatos pizzas are good too, however the last one I had there was severely lacking- not sure if they switched suppliers or what, but overall I’d try them again.”

“Yessss! I prefer Jamba at every corner, over the far expensive “low-star bucks “. Arrived here to go next door to grab a soda and didn’t know this Jamba was here!
Came here instead and grabbed a protein smoothie and hit the spot on a warm sunny Cali day! Employees were courteous and nice. Clean inside and many options. I like their watermelon drinks and new energy refresher line ups.
I highly recommend stopping here and it’s right off the freeway in a very large open parking lot. Sign up for their reward program, like everyone else , to earn yourself some good snacks/drinks along the way!”
“This is one of my favorite health food spots in the area.
They have a location in Manteca and Modesto so I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it as often until they came to Turlock!
My go to order “Nutty Bowl, with extra Peanut Butter”
I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a light and nutritious meal.”
“I am not a usual customer at this location, but sometime last week, I stopped by after doing some shopping in the area. I was taken care of by a worker named Mary who was beyond impressive. She was very kind and cheerful. She also gave me a few recommendations for some drinks as we share a liking for shaken espressos. I felt like a valued customer and I will definitely be going back to this location more often. Well done!”
