Mexican Restaurants near Empire

“Tacos 100% with Mexican flavor, highly recommended, tongue, head, tripe, asada, pastor, etc... with freshly made tortillas....

Highly recommended for a delicious family dinner, as they have tables and chairs to eat there and take away...“

“Delicious tostadas and burritos. I added beans to the tostada, and it was super good. I loved the hot sauce; it just needed a little salt, which was already provided. Plenty of parking and a little table and canopy to sit. Great price! They accept cash or cards.“

“2nd time coming. First time, we came for breakfast buffet. Everything was delicious! 2nd time came during karaoke night. The owner is really hands on. He will personally come Check on you and often. The food and service is 10/10. The drinks are really strong and reasonably priced.“

“Okay, confession time—I’m not usually a taco person! Burritos? Yes. A big, cheesy quesadilla? Absolutely. But tacos? They’ve just never been my jam... until now.

So, I took the plunge and tried tacos for the first time at *this* place. Let me tell you, those hard shell tacos were on another level of crunchy goodness. Seriously, where have they been all my life?

Oh, and the presentation? Mind-blowing. Picture this: tacos surrounded by a colorful medley of grilled veggies. But wait—it gets better. They hit me with these perfectly grilled onions that took the whole experience up a notch. I was basically in food heaven.

And it’s not just the food. The people working there are so warm and friendly, they make you feel right at home. Honestly, that’s just as important as the food, right?

So, if you're on the hunt for some top-tier tacos, do yourself a favor and hit up this spot. Trust me—you’ll thank me later. You’re gonna love it! ?“

“Great food and great prices. The tacos and burritos were great.“

“Food is great. Bring sanitary wipes if you're worried about the tables. Other than that It has got better with the begger situation. The guards keep away the homeless from the customers.
Edit: (10-4-24) The food is still great, but everything has gotten so expensive.“

“Amazing place! Come have some delicious food and a great time with family“

“This is the best taco truck around. Have had Carnitas and Carne Asada in burritos, quesadillas and tacos. Yum! Check it out. Awesome people. Now their son has a hamburger truck next to taco truck. Huge hamburgers. Great when I want Mexican and mom wants hamburgers.“

“This is the BEST asada TACO I have had in a very very long time. The asada is perfectly cooked, cut and seasoned. Thank you for making an asada so flavorful. The taco is lightly crisp, EXACTLY HOW I LOVE IT.l! The hot sauce is exactly what it states hot, but very flavorful it will give you a lil burn but does not take the flavor from the meat. I recommend this place. You can fill up with 76 gas, pick up some snacks and drinks. They even sell hard liquor and beer WOW? This place is a MUST STOP FOR ASADA TACO'S!! Sorry about the pics try zooming in. Regarding the HOURS the cook said it closes at 10 pm. I went on a Wednesday so I don't know if it's the same every day.“

“This man has been around for years and has always had some delicious tacos and burritos made with love.“

“A friend and I had lunch. They give you chips and bean dip. The bean dip is so delicious. It reminds me of my grandmother and the way she made her beans. The lady who served us was very friendly. The restaurant was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere.

Parking: A whole lot of parking.“

“It's a great place and must visit it“

“If I were to rate this establishment souly on just the food I would rate La Perla a solid 5 because they are the best burritos in town by far. The chili Colorado burrito and chili verde burrito are too die for. The only complaint I have is that most of the beverages in the back area are expired by a few years and a few of there products. But the food in the restaurant area is always fresh and amazing.“

“I highly recomend Tacos Mi Ranchitos. I have been ordering the quesadillas and tacos once a week now for the last few months! This truck is my new favorite and they are affordably priced! The staff is so friendly and accomodating.“

“Absolutely excellent food. Great atmosphere. It was a little hot as in like the temperature was hot. But, it was a summer day so it's too be expected.

The food taste VERY unique. I eat a lot of Mexican food and this place has a distinct taste.“

“Good tacos and people carnitas y cuero“

“My favorite taco truck in all of central valley. I especially love the asada tacos and sopes. Make sure to go in the morning because the woman working, Lorena, is very kind and makes the food DELICIOUS. Don't let the outside fool you, the food is delicious.My favorite lunch box in all of Stanislaus. I especially love the asada sopes and tacos. Make sure you go in the morning because the lady who works, Lorena, is very friendly and cooks very DELICIOUS. Don't be discouraged by the way the lunch box looks, but try the food.“

“most under rated spot in the area by far!“

“riquísima comida todo esta rico“

“Okay so this place is fire if you’re looking for reviews wondering if you should try it..yes try it. It’s so good. I got the Chilaquiles Burrito for breakfast and a Birria taco just to try it, and it was so good. So far the best Birria I’ve tried in town. With the consommé, it was top notch. They gave me some sort of chili oil with my order and idk what it was, it was kinda spicy but it was delicious. I could keep going on, damn. It was so good I can’t wait to go back“

“I decided to stay on Modesto and check out a few of the local Taquerias and went to the Taqueria Mis Compadtes Restaurant because my pal Coco Lopez told me they're the best in the valley! They have a pretty good selection of what you'd expect, but I wanted some tacos like my Abuela made when I was a little yanker. Well, I asked for...Tacos grandes de carne con tortilla harina....And all I can say is Ummmmm! Thay were Amazing!
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“While driving to eastern Sierra my friend found CM as a vegan option for me. Wow, a full veg menu with vegan cheese and sour cream. Had the Burrito both visits which was fresh with tasty tofu, beans and rise. Green sauce is great. If heading to Yosemite vicinity it’s a must stop. “

“I recommend everything here. But my favorite has to be the chips and salsa and the panchito burrito. The wait staff are always on point and polite. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone!!“

“This was by far them most delicious authentic Mexican food we have eaten this side of the border. The love and compassion that is put into the food served here is beyond excellent. As you walk in, you will immediately feel the transformation of old Mexico with its rustic beamed ceilings and mosaic hand painted tile floors. The atmosphere speaks for itself. You can tell the owners who also work there that they take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this place and think of it as a very special jem of Oakdale. Ray & Gina Hoot“

“Wow! Food is fresh , tasty & DELICIOUS!!!! I highly recommend!!!! Love Love this place! And everyone is so friendly!5 Stars!!!“

“Got me doing experiments in the kitchen tryna find their ASADA recipe. Not no hispanic food expert but i grew up in the bay where theres hella good hispanic foods and tried many SoCal hispanic foods but this one gotta be the best in california. Anything ASADA is a must try!!! Their meat is seasoned so good. The price went up recently but still a good price.“

“Long time client - consistently great food!“

“The was was good and it's so pretty inside and out.“

“Best in Oakdale“

“El Jardin in Turlock is truly a gem that never disappoints! The ambiance is enchanting, featuring charming houses transformed into a delightful restaurant, with stunning flowers adorning the patio and walkways. The food is consistently delicious, and the friendly staff make every visit special. This spot has become a favorite of mine, and I’ve introduced many friends to its hidden charm.

I usually order the chicken fajitas, paired with a refreshing water. Every time, the meal is cooked to perfection, making it a perfect choice after indulging in their amazing chips, salsa, and bean dip. The salsa here is my absolute favorite—it's a must-try! I’ve spent many memorable Mother’s Days at El Jardin, and each visit just reaffirms why this place holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend!“

“I've been here twice, both times with some coworkers. Both times I ordered the supreme burrito con carne asada. It was perfect. I also really love their agua de jamaica.
There is potentially a lot of parking in the surrounding area since it's located in a big shopping center with a parking lot.“
