“the food was authentic and delicious.“

“I got the Huevos Rancheros… So delicious! Service was great as well.“

“Best burritos in the South Bay!“

“The food and service was Awesome-We will go back again 👍🏻“

“This was such a lovely surprise along our road trip back to Carmel from Yosemite. The food was great - super fresh and came out quickly and hot. My husband had the carnitas burrito and my girlfriend and I split the Tacos Governador and house salad. They also had 40% off margaritas so we took advantage of that too. This was a great stop in the middle of an area of California that feels less like a destination--but once we arrived we saw the beautiful Hollister downtown area decorated with string lights and ads for their wine and beer stroll and thought maybe Hollister deserves to be visited more than just on the way to someplace else.“

“This is a casual recently remodeled, local Taqueria in Hollister, CA in the Ace Hardware parking lot next to the liquor store. Has a nice clean, modern vibe with multiple flatscreen TVs to watch all the games and a small bar area. You can get your order to-go or dine-in. They have a nice menu board with pictures and prices. You order at the counter and then they will either call your number for you to come get the food or they will bring it to your table depending on who's working. I haven't tried everything on the menu, but the tacos are pretty darn good. I got the Carne Asada tacos which you can get 4 for around $10-$12 something like that. They are nice and juicy and the sauce is a little spicy but not overwhelming. My daughter got the shrimp tacos, which looked pretty good, and were extremely juicy looking and so good she even ordered more when she was finished and at $3 each not bad. The only thing and I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly when I ordered nachos a while back, they were not that great as they used what look like 7-Eleven cheese. For the price for the nachos and being a Taqueria I was expecting they use grilled cheese and melted on the order not some liquid cheese from a bottle or jar. So basically, to recap, I would highly recommend the tacos as they are delicious, but hold off on the nachos until they get better cheese. The only thing I wish they would put on the tacos would be a little bit of cilantro, but other than that they're still pretty good. Non-alcoholic beverages are a little bit overpriced. I mean for one can of soda it's $3 and for 1 bottle of the Mexican sodas, which she usually get at the store for $1 - $1.25 are around $4.25-$4.50 for 1 bottle.... they probably get them at Costco and cost under a dollar apiece and I get it. They have to mark it up and make a profit but that's ridiculous. Either way, I still recommend this Taqueria as the services good and the tacos are definitely good!!! 👍🏼“

“We got the Birria in broth and the pork and green sauce. And it was some of the most homemade delicious Mexican food I have ever had. I live about an hour away… But I imagine I will be making the drive out here to enjoy some of their other dishes soon.“

“I've been to this place when it was Metro Balderos and Taqueria el Chore, neither of which were all that great. Now this reiteration under its new name was excellent. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito which was huge, hot and fresh. The rice wasn't too salty, the asada had a nice sear on the meat. The asada also wasn't loaded with gristle which will ruin a burrito for me. They serve chips with your order and have a decent salsa bar. I will be back from time to time for lunch.“

“This place is amazing! The ceviche tostada, shrimp cocktail, and quesabirria and consomme was amazing! I already have a list of what I'm trying next time! Five stars for me!“

“Everything was delicious! The ceviche was fresh, the flavors were on point, and the portions were great. The service was even better—the young lady helping us was super kind and attentive the whole time. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“Great food and fast service!“

“My husband and I stopped on our way through.
I had two pieces of pizza by the slice mushroom and vodka sauce
He ordered the bahn mi and a side of veggies
I also got a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie

The good:

The mushroom slice had a lovely mushroom flavor
My husband’s sandwich also had really great flavor
The brownie was simultaneously the fudgiest and cakiest brownie I’ve ever had. And was rich without being overly so.

The meh:

The pizza slices were kind of cold. The texture was… not great
I would be interested to see how the pizza would be if you ordered a full pie, assuming those were made to order. The crust is almost focaccia like and I could imagine fresh they’d be amazing.
I ordered the vodka slice for the sole purpose that it came with ricotta, which I love. There were two very small dollops on a fairly large “slice”
(Think slightly larger school lunch “slice”). So I was a little sad at my perceived lack of ricotta.

The mixed veggies were also just okay. I understand wanting to showcase your farm to table vibes but I don’t really need to eat parts of the top sprouts of a carrot or the stringy root of the radishes. I used to garden, I loved my fresh veggies, I cut off the bits that were less pleasant to eat. It’s okay, we won’t think less of your veggies for it. They also could have done with just a little longer cooking. The carrots were pretty firm and I don’t mind a little firmness in my veggies they were just a tad underdone.

All in all it was pretty good and a quick pit stop on our way through!“
