Great chile verde fries..my girl and I always stop after visiting DP before heading back home to LA....💣
I love the carne asada tacos. Nobody makes tacos like this. Nobody.. The mushrooms are a fantastic twist and treat.
Fast and courteous service, excellent food every time I go there!
We always stop by and eat when we go out of town very good 👍
Best tacos in town. 🌮 🥤
Cheeseburger meal , tacos, and nachos grotto. We suggest to order a couple of things to try, since there are so many options to choose from. There was 2 of us and we ordered all this and each were able to split it all between us. They TOAST THEIR BUNS!! This gives their burgers that extra yuuummm, and flavor bomb. The only problem, (and it's my problem) Is that now, I'll have to order a cheeseburger, a taco, and then something new to try, just for myself! Lol!
this bacon cheeseburger is my new FAVORITE!! The sauce is bomb!!!!

Ask for Hailey she's the best and always goes out of her way to accommodate people..
Taco grotto is a must every time I come into dp. Made to order, and consistent service! Nothing better than a great burger and fries, with a couple tacos on the side!
Hands down the best burger in the valley. The grotto burger has me making the 40 minute round trip to Dos Palos every few weeks to get one. Their onion rings are killer too. If you're in town you have to try it.
Every once in a while my bestie n I stop in for some taquitos and every time there great! Today we heard ice cream , sundaes, banana splits and all the toppings will be coming soon! Cant wait! Yum
Oh my goodness, this place has the most delicious authentic Mexican food that I have ever had. Their hamburgers and fries however leave something to be desired hearing I won't dokkum any points for that though, since they are mainly a Mexican food drive-through restaurant.
Today was the first time visiting Taco Grotto (don't know why since i lived here my entire life) and can honestly say I had a good experience. The food was good and the employee that took my order was very kind. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you!
Hands-down, best burger In town!! their cheese fries Are unbeatable and the chocolate banana shake smacks!! the guy who answered To take my order And the girl who gave me my order, both had great customer service!! I recommend this place to anyone who stops by.
Bacon cheeseburger meal amazing food. I'm not from this area we were hungry and decided to come here and give it a try. Not disappointed food was really good.
They were fast milkshakes were amazing One guy said Best tacos in town I however didn't try them but I trust his word There Sauce Burgers were AMAZING
I went with a friend over there she raved about their tacos and she was right. We had the ground beef tacos hard shell they're very good we also had the french fries I'm not a french fry person but for some reasons these were good. I seen a few kids and they ordered the nachos and they really like those they're a boys though boys eat a lot lol
Went tonight and got a grotto burger, sauce burger with cheese and 2 large fries. Food is always good and Angelica is always super nice! Today Hailey rang me up and I believe took my order over the phone, she was so sweet and had such good customer service. It's nice to see this place getting kids from high school or right out of high school. Gives them experience and a step into the work world. Great customer service and friendly faces 🙂

Great mushrooms
Good food
Like the good ......
This place has great food.
Grotto burger is humongous! Sheeesh
Good service and good food
Cheese fries are the move
Yum yum
I do like the Taco salad.
Fries stew good but burrito needs more meat inside
If you like nachos you have to have the nacho grotto....yum!
food was good staff was nice
My Taco salad was so good I went back the following month again for another taco salad!
Super busy and they focused mainly on the drive through.
Service was great they were really nice we stopped since it was open and on our way home food was good but it needed something overall it was good 😁
I grew up here in Dos palos on sauce burgers, cheese fries & pepsi freezes. It's always nostalgic visiting DP.
I've only tried the hamburgers here and so far they are good
Ordered a chili dog and was excited to try it out.... Unfortunately they were outta chili so the cashier allowed to me choose another menu item at no extra charge!! Go Taco Grotto
I've been there twice and I'm very satisfied customer service is excellent no complains on that food is great the only thing is that on the combo special they give very little fries

Too pricey for such a small town...😞
food ok but its expensive
A little on the greasy side😝
Nacho grotto wasn't as tasty as I remember it being back in the day.
Good tacos a little greasy but good
They have a very good nacho
Great food, horrendous prices! 😳
The only good thing was the special shrimp!! The environment smells and seats are not good.
Good price on their rolled taco's. Food's average. Prices are pretty good.
This place was very clean and very polite service. However I paid $9.95 for Asada nachos and was very disappointed. There was hardly any meat the beans were piled in the middle of the plate and cheese to the side of beans. You can see them in the photo. Another thing I asked for green "sauce" which she brought that has a piece of Verde in it and I didn't really think nothing of it until I went to pay and noticed she charge me $3.75 for the green sauce. I won't go back here. Sure it looks like a big plate of chips but I was sharing this with my daughter.

The service is good but hecka slow to get ur food. the food is pretty good . I've eaten there twice and the tacos were very crunchy. not my thing. Light on the filling and the salsa is so salty it don't take much. But if ur a super salty eater it could make you happy.
Food is alright,drinks are hot,fast and friendly service, atmosphere is ok but need to fix the tables that are broken! back table been broken for over a year. so can't you eat very comfortably trying to hold table up and food sliding down !

Just ok
Burritos were super dry. Not worth the price. Won't be going there again.
I've been coming here all my life and just like pizza factory they've lost the touch and connection with the community...
Don't buy the chili Verde burrito ! It only has a lil bit of chili Verde. Nothing else.its a rip off for:$6.45
Got the carne asada burrito and it's good but there is a lot of that hard fat that no one eats
Food is ok. But the prices for the portions being served is too much. I ordered the large onion rings and large mushrooms and was extremely disappointed. The onion rings had a thin onion inside it was mostly batter and they were over cooked. My kids ordered the burgers combos and fry portions could be bigger for that price.

Rude employees !!
Food tasted to salty . To expensive
When I ask gor tavos de asada I expect carne asada not BOIL
Tacos are way too greasy. They charged $4 for four onion rings.
I just ordered 4 burritos from them at 5.00 a piece . When we got home opened them and the tortilla was hard and the meat was burned. I will never go there again.
Watch what you order and ask the cashier to repeat the order. Evey time I order they give me the wrong item denying that I ordered it. The owner needs to get up on his game straight out get your business straight freaking go and pay double for this stuff
Worst place I ever visited food was horrible didn't give me no napkins and the drive-thru speaker didn't work not to mention I waited forever for my food and then when I got it, it was the wrong order!
The last time I hear it was nasty. Greasy and nasty I will never eat there again
I take my reviews seriously to help people avoid bad experiences. My visit to Taco Grotto was, frankly, a total disaster and a complete waste of money. The Service & Accuracy: I was incredibly clear when ordering: no cheese on the burger. I actually overheard the cook asking the cashier for clarification on the ingredients, and the cashier was completely clueless, just saying 'sorry no' and 'sorry yes' without any real idea of what was going on. Unsurprisingly, the burger came out with cheese on it anyway. Total incompetence. The Value: They charged $40 for two double burgers and two orders of fries. Charging that much in this town for basic burgers is absolute robbery, especially when the quality doesn't match the price. The Atmosphere: The restaurant itself was in terrible condition. The seats were torn and ripped, and the tables were so filthy I didn't even want to stand up, let alone sit down and eat. It’s clear that management has given up on basic maintenance and cleanliness. The Verdict: Save your $40 and go literally anywhere else. Between the incorrect order, the 'dumb' lack of communication between staff, and the disgusting environment, this place is a hard pass. I’m beyond frustrated that I wasted this much money here.
