I love this place !!! Its amazing food, I drive from Fresno to merced just to eat here , please check it out it is right off highway 99 they have the best green sauce every my favorite it there Chile verda or the super burrito covered in green sauce I always order extra sauce !! They also have a dish I dont know the name off but its cane asada with a spicy tomato and tomatillo sauce !!! Just amazing whatever you get ger it with there sauces !!!

This is as authentic as you can get with Mexican food. Spot is next to the DMV but it's a hard spot to get into because the road is one way and it's out. You'll have to loop around and get on that one way road to turn into the parking area for the restaurant. If you miss the turn, prepare to loop around again, park in the DMV lot then walk over, or risk it and just drive against the one way road into the lot. The latter 2 will probably get you a ticket if someone notices though.

Always delicious and authentic.

This is what I consider a hole in the wall Restaurant. Don't be fold by its looks when you drive up the food is excellent and also authentic as it gets in the Merced area.

Amazing food and the most friendly people. I always make a point of stoping there when going through town

first time and I was definitely not disappointed. Great food great staff. Highly recommended

Great food great service friendly atmosphere.

The chicken tacos was 'bomb'; food was freash and hot. The service was on point and very friendly. Best chicken tacos I've had in my life.

Consistantly delicious Mexican food; sweet server. Very accommodating for friend with food allergies.

Absolutely the best Mexican food around, Chile con carne is the best, I highly recommend this place, beers cold too.

The food and service are both amazing I go often and always feel very welcome

Very good food here. Kind of hard to see from the road and difficult to get to because it sits on a one way street. Well worth the effort though.

The chimichanga is tasty. Good prices. Quick for lunch

Food was amazing as always!!

Has been a go to location for as long as I can remember. Growing up, this is the spot all the adults would go to for a good meal. Had to hit it up and I recommend a visit.

The absolute best Mexican food in Merced. You can not go wrong here. Everything from the garlic shrimp to the chili verde plates are great! Always feels like home when you walk in to this hidden gem

Omgoodness they have wonderful food and service!! Every time I visit they always have a smile on their face and greet you that they’re happy 😃 you came back!! Their food is great!! I love their homemade chicken 🍲 soup!!

We got there 5 minutes to closing and they still welcomed us in. My wife has been coming to this restaurant ever since she was a kid. Love this place ❤️ 💕

Small but wonderful refried beans had visible beans great food n service

I accidentally drove past it but I'm glad i turned around. The food was great, the customer service was excellent. It was fun to hear the waitresses banter with some of her regular customers. If my wife and I didn't live two states away I'm sure we would be regulars as well.

My mom and I had their chicken soup for takeout today on this cold and rainy day. It was one of the best chicken soups I have ever had! It was super delicious. And the food was packaged really well. I’m looking forward to ordering the soup again.

Love the food here I had a combo to try a few items love the enchiladas. Rice and beans are awesome. And they give you beans with your chips and dip. Sodas are full strength not watered down. I definitely will go back.

I have been looking for a great Mexican food place, since moving from San Jose. I tried a few places but this place so far was the best. It is now my favorite Mexican food place.

It has excellent food & great service. It's where all the locals go.

Very nice restaurant. Enjoyed being back in California and have some really good authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend

Once again great food and great service. I love this little place.

Always great food and my favorite salsa! Very quick service.

We where passing by on the way back home that was far and decided to give it a try. Its like a little hole in the wall but it was packed. We got the pick 3 combination plate, kids lunch and two drinks. We spent about $60 with tip for two adults and a 4 year old. Food was flavorful and the tamale was my favorite of all. Some of the items felt like they just heated it up from the microwave besides that im happy we gave it a try. Food was great and the service was good too. I wished the chips are made fresh but the hot salsa was spot on.

Got the combination plate with an asada taco and enchilada, good food, delicious green salsa. My dad said the sauce for the camarones del diablo was absolutely excellent. Great service. Good hole in the wall place.

Best Mexican food I've eaten in years! and amazing service.

Asada was a little dry, but shrimp was amazing!

Food is good. Tha service is slow. I see one waitress working a busy lunch shift. At least a bus person would be helpful.

Good food, very small inside, waitress was on point. Crowded and noisy at the time. Not particularly a bad thing, just not my thing. Just trying out different spots. On to the next!

It was ok. Waitress wasn't focused at all. Food tasted fine though. Restaurant its self is extremely noisy, so its hard to hear.

Small restaurant that does have outside seating on a nice day (or crowded). Chips and salsa served. Friendly enough staff. Went before the lunch rush and ordered the beef and veggy soup. I didn't think it would fill me up when it came but it did. There were two big pieces of beef on the bone. Carrots, zucchini, and potato were perfectly cooked.

The Flavor is not there. I ordered Tacos and the tortillas were not fully cooked. I gave them 2 stars for trying....

The waitress was really nice but the food isn't the best. I've tried better places by far.

Did not like the service, nor food. Waitress was a bit hyper did not get our orders right. She needs to simmer (slow) down a bit. For it supposedly being Mexican food, it was too bland......

Didn’t try the food because it took the waitress over 12 mins to get our drink order… of water. They weren’t even that busy. Had ordered food and waited and waited. Finally cashed out with the guacamole and left. Not to mention the outside appearance of this place needs serious help. It’s so gross. The grease pit and trash is just exposed as you walk in.

Me and my lady decided to stop by and try some tacos with salsa the waitress was nice but the tortillas where cold not cook right the beans and rice with chips was okay I feel like the place is old the food taste old the one way only makes Parking hard to find this lil hole in the wall who ever runs this business needs to remodel and get fined by the city we left confused cus the people who work there are nice Mexican people...

Good service and nice atmosphere, just really bad food. Ordered 2 supreme burritos. The chicken in the supreme burrito with green chili sauce tasted like boiled chicken with no spice. And the other supreme burrito with red chili sauce wasn't any better. The red sauce was really bland. Just a bad experience overall. Will unfortunately not be coming back.
