Taqueria El Mexicano Modesto Reviews
I always order the pozole. The restaurant is clean and there is never a long wait. It's a great place to grab a bite while your out.
Very clean establishment. Gentleman at the counter was very sweet. We tried the nachos, street tacos and a burrito all with different types of meat. All were outstanding.
We ordered a bunch of food including a grilled chicken burrito, veggie burrito, nachos, shrimp tacos, veggie tacos and a quesadilla. The food tasted good.
Loved their food and the service was top notch. I enjoyed the carne asada and carnitas tacos, the meat was juicy and flavorful and the tortillas were fresh and a little crispy. My girlfriend got the Supreme California Burrito and it was HUGE. Definitely going to be coming back.
Just moved out here from San Jose and was looking for a good taco place and I believe I found it! Everything was on point and just what I expected! Ps...the beer came from a different store ;)
Owner is so friendly and welcoming. Got 2 crunchy tacos and they were delicious !! Great prices , friendly staff, and delicious food. Give it a try !
I ordered super nachos, tortas, drink it was all so good! It's now my favorite places to eat when it comes to Hispanic food. Juan the owner was very pleasant and funny and very courteous as well as Rebecca, and Breanna 😊 thank you! Me and my kids enjoyed your services and food and the drink was full of awesomeness, beyond satisfying!
Well I just used Uber eats! The food was so delicious, fresh & tasty! This burrito I ever had before, the size incredible ! It’s a must to try!

Great food! Great friendly service! Looking forward to going back.
My wife and son and I tried this restaurant for the first time. Here is my five star review.: ⭐Staff was very friendly ⭐Restaurant was clean ⭐Food was good ⭐Price per meal fair ⭐Bathrooms very clean 👍Overall dining experience an atmosphere we're very pleasant. 👍I would highly recommend this restaurant if you were looking for a relatively quick order and what's good food.
Love this place! Excellent service and delicious food! We have busy lives so we're here picking up dinner or dining in 2-3 times a week 😋... very clean and warm atmosphere. A nice place to have a delicious sit down meal with family. Highly recommend!
Rated number 2 on yelp for taco salads. So I got one.. wow. So good. Al pastor 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 the guy at counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great customer service. Very fast and delicious. Not bad pricing. Has a salsa bar inside
I’ve been eating here since 2021 and I always love the food. For the first time we ate there today and as lucky as we can be, my son dropped the whole horchata on the floor. They were so nice to clean and offer my son a new horchata. I felt so bad for the mess, probably was my husband’s vibe for wanting to eat at home. Anyway, I wanted to apologize for the mess and thank for the wonderful time we had. We will eat there more often and teach our son to not spill! Best Mexican food in the region!
Yummy delicious food’ i got nachos and the beans and guacamole on them were sooo tasty! My husband got a asada burrito and it was great too! If you have room after eating your dinner - try the flan and tres leches its delicious! Great friendly service! Clean restaurant ! Will be back thank you
Food was great! We ordered tacos, a quesadilla, and a burrito, and they all tasted amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. Huge thank you to Juan for making the experience even better — he was so friendly and made us feel like family. Definitely a place I’d come back to and highly recommend!
Big burritos. Wet. 2/Frye inside/Green or Red sauce are options. I believe they have menudo, not sure. For 1 person to get an adequate amount of "eatable/will do /in a hurry"food at TACO BELL, the cost can be anywhere from $10-$15+. ***Why not go here to Taqueria El Mexacano & get real food for about the same price, maybe 2-3 more than one person can eat on at that other place. It's bigger, better and I am telling you now it taste fresh. (Taco bell sucks)

Very cute place, Friendly staff with great customer service. Food was great we had asada tacos and burrito and oh my goodness the ice cold Pepsi we got was fire 🔥 not all watered down or over carbonated like most places. Definitely going back to try the Breakfast burrito next time.

The food is extremely bland, I did order pick up so maybe it's better in store. We got the burrito and super nachos. Much rather would've went to my favorite taco truck but they aren't open as late as this taqueria so that's why I gave it a 3 stars.

Place is clean friendly service, ordered a burrito, bland and chewy asada. Ate here probably 3 times the last 2 years and everytime I ask myself why didn’t I just goto jalepeños, el rosal, Los compadres. It wasn’t nasty per se but I wouldn’t buy it again for sure this time
Been going to this place for over 1 years the burritos had become very small and they have messed up my order than three times or more have charged me for guacamole and other items that is not even on the burrito remind you I am ordering three to four burritos at a time I am a vegetarian and they basically just give me a rice burrito and one time they put meat in it 😫 I asked for store credit the last time it just happened and they said they can't give it to me I can bring back the burritos for them to remake it which is inconveniencing me and now I'm spending more money having to drive back to the store which I have done two other times before to get them to make the burrito correctly I will no longer be a customer!!

The food was very bland and super expensive for my super burrito which was 6 inches long cost me $16.00!!!. The chicken inside the burrito looked as if it came prepackaged as deli meat for salads, you know the chunky kind found cold. Not fresh at all and because the meat was not simmered with flavors it was not enjoyable to eat. Shredded fresh chicken should always have a tint of orange (tomato juice) and be shredded not cubbed. Sorry forgot to take a picture. I would not recommend.
Used to be best tacos around. Now they are way too spicy hot and the filling is runny. It tends to fall out when eating. Won't be going there again. Ever..
