Taco Grotto is one of those places that if you didn't grow up going to it, it's not going to impress you. That's perfectly ok. Those who grew up eating there will forever knows its charm. If you know, you know.

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!

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!

E
Eduardo Romero

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.

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.

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 🙂

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 !

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.

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

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.
