16 Best Mexican Restaurants in Atwater

“Amazing service and the absolute best Mexican food ever!“

“We were charged an extra $13.00 for items we didn’t order. Not much flavor in the food or the Bloody Mary.“

“I highly recommend carnitas, they’re delicious. We loved that they were able to have a good quantity amount for a party, loved that they included onion, cilantro & limones. The breakfast burrito is also a must, great portion size and delicious.“

“First time eating here, & Oh my this is the best Mexican food in town. The host & the cook came to our table & told us the history of the food & family. Very friendly, great atmosphere & real authentic Mexican food. Why have I never eaten here in 10 yrs I've been here until tonight!! I will be back for sure A+++++“

“I go to phantoms probably more than I should. But we love this truck! One of the best ones in this little town. The tacos are amazing! ❤️“

“This was great spot for seafood. This was my first time in here, and I was not disappointed
My wife had the ceviche and I had the fried fish. Both were good . It was not cheap price wise , but nothing is at this time . The saying you get what you pay for is true here . I will definitely be back .“

“Delious hamburgers and fries. They are at least a 1/2 lb burgers! Always good....ate there today! So good!“

“Im a picky eater, this place offers decent fresh food compared to other places.

The negative reviews on here are usually people who always have something to complain about lol ✅️💯 and want good quality to be cheap, unreasonable lol.“

“Amazing Food! Great People!“

“Small coffee $2 as of 2025.
Rating is only for the coffee. It was a bit watered down.

But service was excellent!

They were U/C today but they look like they are expanding their offerings to housewares and other items (possibly imported).

I can't wait to see them grow and to try their bread.“

“Food was amazing with great flavor. Portions were large and great prices! Going back for taco Tuesdays for $1 tacos!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. The young lady that took me order was very patient with me, even though I only like certain things. They let me order exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it. It was one of the best burritos, I've had in a long time. I've been buying burritos from a lot of different places trying to find the best place to go. J&P taquitos is at the very top of the list. They even have nachos cheese and hot cheetos fries, burritos, etc. You definitely don't want to miss out on trying them out. The only thing you will regret is not going earlier!!!“

“I was in the Drive-Thru so I'm not really sure about atmosphere inside. We go here at least once a week to maybe every two weeks to get my boyfriend's grandpa is chalupas. The menu is pretty expensive when you're not ordering a meal. Does street tacos that they came out with were delicious. We had the steak street tacos.“

“This place reminded me of El Grullense in Los Banos. When I lived in LB that was my goto spot. Ive been living here in Atwater and never noticed Maria's , which is amazing since Ive lived here for 7 years. Im definitely glad I found this place. My fav is menudo and Maria's has it just the way I like it, in a 32oz cup. I also got some mini tacos as well. They also have covered outside eating. This will now be my goto spot. Im looking forward to winter, so I can swing by and pick up some menudo for work. This place is definitely worth 5 stars.

Parking: Alot of parking + disabled parking.“
