“THE BEST CARNITAS TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD.we drive to Hughson from Sacramento just to eat at this taco trailer. My only complaint is that i cannot fit more of their tacos in my belly.”

“This was a favorite of ours when we lived in Oakdale years ago.Now that we moved back this is our favorite Mexican place to eat here in town.Food is always good and we always have great service!”

“Food was delicious! Consume was so ? good, they made my food to order without cheese and labeled it very clearly. Worth the drive, looking forward to my next visit.Dietary restrictions: Birria was delicious I have dietary restrictions, unfortunately I am lactose intolerant and cannot have cheese. They made my plate with love and labeled it very clearly from every other plate. So happy and can't wait to return again”

“I visited Lucille for the first time and was blown away by how cute the interior/exterior and how delicious the food and drinks were. I had a savory toast and latte and it was delicious!! The environment is cool (reminiscent of quirky bay area spots) and the staff is welcoming. I will definitely return soon!”

“Try their lunch buffet if you like a variety of pizza spicy and regular styles for lunch, give their lunch buffet a try. At only 10.99 including drink it is a great bargain these days. The food flavorful and well prepared. The buffet gives you a way of tasting their many and varied styles of pizza, then you know what to order for a good Friday night at home. Give it a try as I did on a suggestion and i strongly believe you will go back.”

“I got the avocado chicken sandwich and the enchilada soup. I only tried an enchilada soup from Chili's restaurants and never here at this place. It was very good. Much better IMO.”

“My sisters and I brought my mom here for her birthday. We let them know ahead of time and they had menus had “happy birthday” typed on them. We had several different kinds of drinks and entrees and they were all 10/10. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!”

“Their service is amazing!!! I rarely leave any kind of restaurant saying that but the young man in the front was so accommodating and kind. I got their green glow bowl, it was delicious. It was even better when I added Sriracha. 10/10 will be back soon.”

“We have been coming here for a while now. Amazing food and great service! It’s our favorite place to grab quick sandwiches. Highly recommend . You will not regret it and will keep coming back!!!!Dietary restrictions: Has vegan options (falafel)”

“The best vegan pizza I've had. The vegan artichoke pizza was very good and tasted very fresh. Pizzeria Halt has a great vibe to it and is very clean. The staff were very friendly and pleasant to interact with. I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.”

“Impressed and frankly surprised that such a nice restaurant exists in Modesto. Loved the service and the chill low-intensity lighting. It was a perfect experience as far as food goes. The paninis we had (prosciutto and fig, chicken bacon) were just delicious and tasted like the gourmet homemade stuff I grew up with. I wasn't much into the wedge salad but i had a bite of the one my wife ordered and it was good. I hope they put a spinach salad on the menu soon. Also, since they make great paninis, maybe they'll consider a gourmet burger with a short-rib/ground chuck mix ? (I was a cook years ago, this combo is the best). The desserts were also very very good (chocolate panini thingy was the perfect ending). Very friendly service, the dining room was beautiful and we will definitely be coming back!!!”

“Since I'm with my family, I need to go grocery shopping. They will be cooking every meal, and as a Syrian, I love homemade food. The quality of the food here is good and genuine, just like what we used to have in our home ”

“My first detailed review since this is one of the first AYCE hot pots in Modesto, and I want to give my thoughts about it, so apologies for the long paragraphs I'm about to type! Let me tell you something. It's been a hot, HOT minute that I've been to an AYCE hot pot, and it's in the Bay of course (e.g. Shabuway). I was curious to try this out yet it's one of the first locations in the U.S. (mainland), the rest are in Hawaii. By the ambiance, it was super clean and came in on a normal Tuesday with my dad, when they just opened. However, during the weekends, be prepared for the wait time, as it's best to be a bit early before it closes so that you have a chance to try this place. Now onto the experience. As usual AYCE Shabu Shabu places, you order the soup base and order your meat. During lunch (which I went), meat (unless you pay extra for their premium meat), the sides, and the sauce bar are unlimited. I picked the miso base while my dad picked the seafood base. The conveyor belt on the side to have easy access in getting your sides, which honestly is so cool to take as many as you like. Also if you order meat, there will be a cute train delivering them to you, which is also cool to see. For the taste? Chef's kiss. Miso is super rich and yummy, while the seafood is good too. Haven't tried the other flavors but planning to order some next time. You can only order one soup base though and can't change a different soup base. However you can ask your server to ask for more broth, just that the flavor will be in original. The meat is fresh and tender, as well as my sides complement beautifully with the soup. Dipping sauces also complement too, and that sesame sauce...my GOODNESS. It reminded me of one of the sauces I tried in a KBBQ restaurant. In conclusion, for the atmosphere, unlimited meat, sides, and sauces, plus the quick service, $24 for lunch AYCE is worth it. And especially since I didn't see one AYCE hot pot location in Modesto, this is a start for many people to hang out and enjoy the comfort of eating Shabu Shabu without driving to the Bay. Trust me, if you're waiting for an hour on a busy Saturday, it'll be WORTH. THE. WAIT. :)”

“Cookies are amazingDietary restrictions: There is dairy and lots of sugar but taste is amazingParking: The parking was easy and accessibleKid-friendliness: Kids will love this and it is a great treat”

“A different, but good version of a burger. We had a smash burger, aloha,. Burgers were messy and loved it. Chunky pineapple and small sliver of beef. Kind of odd yummy. Setting was bar type with spread out areas. Nice place to visit. Staff was upbeat. Nice for a change. As always post wherever your palate ends up.”

“I had an exceptional dining experience at Mayar Restaurant in Northern California and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Afghani cuisine. The services provided by Mr. Sadeq, and other team members at Mayar Restaurant, were outstanding, making our visit truly memorable.The highlight of our meal was the Qabeli Palaw, a flavorful and aromatic dish that left us craving for more. The Kabob was also a delight, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection.Overall, Mayar Restaurant exceeded my expectations with its excellent food quality, cozy ambiance, and top-notch service. I look forward to visiting again soon!”

“Small beer selection. People serving, sometimes don't hear/see you from across the bar. The bathroom is at the back of the building, along a pathway.I'll have to come again during a trivia night.Kid-friendliness: Games galore for people of all ages”

“As a salvadoreña who recently moved to the states & have tried different “intents of pupusas” let me tell you this place is like going to a real Salvadoran pupuseria. They use the right ingredients cheese, beans & loroco. this food is made with loveI love this place it feels like home. ?I love the vibe and the plants too”

“Seriously, this is one of the best places in the 209 area code... I've eaten here a number of times and the food is always good. I like that it is freshly prepared. I like that the food isn't fried. At the counter, you can see into the kitchen and it all looks very clean. There are fresh flowers on the tables. There is no loud music or televisions playing, which is part of the appeal for me because I'm often eating with someone who has trouble hearing, and we can enjoy a conversation. The servers are attentive and seem like nice people. I've also taken the food to go and the same generous portions show up in the to-go containers. I hope you'll give it a try.Parking: I don't mess with the parking right in front of the restaurant. I park in the spaces to the east of the restaurant. It's always easy to find spots there.”

“Hubby and I recently went for our anniversary. The food was good, and our server was attentive. They even had the staff sign a card for us to celebrate our anniversary, which I thought was super sweet and thoughtful. The only negative for me was that I thought the lighting was a little too dim, but that is most likely my poor eye sight. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great place to eat meat? Easy parking. Great basmati rice, loved the eggplant. Everything was cooked just perfect. And I especially liked the server who was so polite and friendly. With absolutely no expectations we had such a nice time. We will definitely be coming back to this place.”

“Glad we decided to try this mom and pop restaurant! 2 of us had Chicken Glorious and it was to die for and the other 2 got the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo which was also amazing. Will be coming back again next time we come to town.”

“Googled “vegan food near me” on our way home from Turlock to Stockton and so glad we found this place! GREAT food & service! We ordered the Cashew “Chicken”, Orange “Chicken”, “Chicken” strips & Impossible burger and everyone cleared their plates! We also had the Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea and Lemon Cheesecake, all super yummy! Wish they had a restaurant like this in Stockton! We’ll be back! ?”

“This place has the best Thai food, and also with their iced Thai coffee, but the best part is their servers made me feel like I'm at home. Their servers talk to you like you are family, and I saw they even remember their regulars. I'm definitely coming back again!”

“So I am not from Hughson and found this place online. Gotta say this place was so good and had friendly service. The food was soo delicious. I highly recommend it if you happen to be driving through Hughson and want a bite! I will definitely be visiting them again! ? 5 ⭐️ rating all the way!!!”

“This place is amazing. It was my first time here and we had a rather large group (8 ppl) and they were able to move tables and chairs for us. The place is small but really cozy. The food was amazing and they have nice plates and cups which just adds to the atmosphere. They are so kind and again food is amazing.”

“The truth is, the first time I went I really liked the pressed chicharron ones, the second time they were a disappointment, who knows what they were, they seemed like leftovers, they looked like anything but pressed chicharron, they had pieces of meat, pieces of potato, ?”

“Absolutely superb service and ambiance. The vibes are perfect for a date night. Bar sitting, outdoor seating, and beautiful decor indoors. That steak was tender and seasoned. Espresso martini was perfect as well the old fashion. Shrimp had a little garlic touch to it & the broccolini was steamed to perfection”

“Best Pizza in Oakdale. Great service. Steve is a great guy who puts his heart into making the best pizza for his customers. And you gotta try the Buffalo Garlic Parmesan Wings! They are on another level. Fresh ingredients and great taste at Stevies Pizzeria. I definitely recommend this place!!! ?”

“Dope environment! Brandon & Jordan always take care of me like family in there. Teeth whitening service was A1 for the price you pay and time it takes. Good tattoos at this location you get what you pay for , thank you guys for providing a environment that feels like home ?”
