Food is always consistent! Staff is very nice and always checking on us after we got our food to make sure everything is ok and tastes good. Best Mexican for around. Torta was amazing as for the wet burrito.

I was hungry so we went to Mexican food. I have been to La parrilla Mexican restaurant in Modesto. I was in Riverbank so we decided to eat here. That food was good? We Had avocado stuffed with shrimp like a ceviche. And I had something from the less calorie menu chicken with rice and bell peppers. It was good. And I had dessert also. The service was really good until the gentleman spilled salsa on the table and when he clean it he got it all over my boots he tried to clean it so I went to the bathroom and cleaned them. We took 2 desert home cuz I love sweet stuff.

The food is really good, great flavor. Tried this plate called John’s Special because my dad and brother said it was their favorite. It had the perfect amount of spice. Very fast and friendly service.

I can only speak about the California burrito I received from a work take out order. Man the burrito was a large size for 15$ and the asada was amazing. Plenty for another meal I couldn’t finish it but I really wanted to.

Overall, the food is good here and I've tried a lot of different dishes. The staff is nice & it can get busy at times, but the experience has always been good for me, whether dining in or getting a to-go order.
