“Had casual dinner with family on a random Thursday. Was the best waiting service I have experienced in Turlock so far, Bertha was incredible and super kind- as were all of the wait staff. They were super attentive to any refills/ needs. Portion sizes were incredibly large- so much so that my fiancé and I could share the Pollo Asado Burrito and still have some leftover. Would recommend to anybody looking for a Mexican Restaurant with delicious food and good vibes.“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant since I was 12 years old.“

“A True Local Gem for Mexican Cuisine

This outstanding local Mexican restaurant is clearly a beloved staple in the community. It's always buzzing with families and locals who come not just for the food, but for the lively, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a celebration.

The food is consistently flavorful and generously portioned—perfect for sharing or satisfying a hearty appetite. The vibrant bar area adds to the experience, offering a great spot to unwind with a drink while catching a game on one of the many screens.

One standout feature is the salsa bar, which elevates the meal with a variety of fresh, zesty options that cater to every taste. It’s a small touch that makes a big impact.

We were told that Friday and Saturday evenings are especially popular, with dinner hours drawing a packed house. That alone speaks volumes about its reputation—so plan ahead if you're heading there on the weekend!“

“This food truck is a hidden gem. I recently tried their Super Quesabirria and it was incredible. Everything on the menu, from the quesadillas to the tacos and burritos, is always flavorful and cooked just right. The service is super fast and the staff is really friendly. If you're looking for authentic and tasty food, you definitely need to check them out!“

“Excellent taco truck! Super tasty burritos and the birra taco with the handmade taco was sooo good!!! I really like that they serve their food with fresh cool cucumber slices, pickled red onion and lemon. The seating area was also very nice and clean. Looking forward to going back another time!“

“When the owner used to cook for this restaurant, it was some of the best Mexican food I ever ate in my life. Now that she's not cooking it's just okay. I ate there a couple of nights ago for my 39th anniversary. My family was happy so it's okay now, it used to be bomb“

“The food is priced well. It's delicious and good portions.Staff is friendly and bilingual(Spanish/English)Food was served hot and quick!Thank you <3 ❤️

Parking: There's a business right next door, if you need extra parking, use their lot.The Taco truck lot itself it fairly small.

Kid-friendliness: Family business atmosphere.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all flat surfaces, but, they aren't all smooth.“

“Excellent food at a reasonable price!! I’m not a French fry person, but these fries and chicken sandwich were to die for!! Well Done!“

“This place is so, so good! Very authentic, at least from what I remember as a child in Mexico, watching and tasting the yummy pork softly boiling in a cauldron of lard. ☺️ Fresh tender sheets of cueritos come out first, then the buche, and finally the carnitas! THIS place is JUST like that- in taste -and I love it!! Service is super. The couple that owns it is very friendly. They answered all our questions (husband is on a strict diet; minding his macros n’ all) and made suggestions on menu items. Everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. We highly recommend this eatery to all our friends.“

“excellent tasting food. Friendly and super fast service“

“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 was introduced to this restaurant by friends. It's always clean and has a good atmosphere. The staff always comes around and checks on you. The food is always great and comes hot. Anything with shrimp is very good.

Parking: Small parking lot“

“Bought: 3 tacos asada, no onions, no cilantro (yes, I know... blasphemy!) Short Version: "Par" tacos that improved to "good" after applying lemon, for good price. Long Review: Tortillas on the tacos are on the smaller side of normal, doubled up as usual, and has a corn-ier flavor. Meat is finely chopped, and tastes alright on its own, with occasional chunks of fat blended in (which could be a plus or a minus, depending on your tastes. See picture). Sauce on its own is alright, and moderately spicey. The portion is a dollup in the middle (see picture). I feel like the tacos with more sauce were better, so I'm inclined to suggest to the owner to slightly increase the amount on the tacos. However, it would also make them a bit spicier, so might turn off more sensitive customers. (Keep in mind, this is without cilantro or onions) On my first taco, I tried it unaltered and had nothing particularly positive or negative to say. It was ok, if a bit on the bland side for what I would expect. For my second taco, I grabbed a slightly saucier one and this time generously applied lemon to it. This taco was much better, really livened it up. I still am not sure I would put it at the best of the best, but for $1.50, I was pretty happy. For the third, I added the jalapeno into the mix, and liked the additional kick, but it had less of the lemon juice (used much on #2) and salsa, and that flavor didn't come out quite as much. Overall, about even with #2. Two lemons would have been a good idea. Service was part, although truck operator (owner?) acted a little odd (anxious? Confused? Suspicious?) About me taking pictures and such. Seemed ok after I explained it was for Google. I didn't use the radishes. No comment on any other menu items (burritos, quesadillas, etc), because I didn't buy them.“

“gorditas are so delicious food inside is very authentic* a little piece of our Mexico* 100% recommended“

“Good gggggggggggghhhhhhhh“

“they have really good burritos de asada.“

“I love their food. I have never had a meal there that I didn’t like. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is excellent!“

“I’m a regular at the el Perla Tapatia of Mexican kitchen in Turlock California. I love eating the tamales their pork flavor to be exact and I don’t find the tamales TO be lacking any meat. Normally when you buy a tamale elsewhere it’s all no meat basically all masa but not in Turlock location of El Perla Tapatia Mexican kitchen they hook up what ever it is you buy rather it be a platter some Carnitas rice and beans with a tortilla or just a one item like a single tamale a single burrito torta whatever is the size its good and They’re not shy with the meat so my honest rating for the Mexican kitchen at the el Perla Tapatia Turlock location is a A+ now to rate the whole store departments produce 🍅 , bakery 🧁 are the food on shelves in the aisles ? I rate the whole store B plus I really have nothing. I dislike about this store. If I had to pick out something I do dislike the size. I wish it was just bigger more roomie and secondly, it’s busy guys if you’re waking in the life or cashier it could take some time on a busy day one thing about the Mexican restaurant you can pay for your food when you order so when you’re done eating out the door you go if you not know what to do that’s it. That’s my review. Hope you guys enjoy reading all of my text lol“
