Latin American Restaurants in Mendota

“This little hole in the wall was a huge suprise! Recommended by some our customers, who live in Mendota, we were greeted with friendly staff, who made amazing recommendations for us.
My husband wanted chips and salsa and the owner, literally went into the kitchen and made them from scratch!
They recommended the Gordita!!! We had chicken and it was flavorful, chicken was moist, seasoned well and accompanied by a slaw that brought a perfect balance to the dish!
The sopes was… chef’s kiss!!! My husband’s favorite. He ordered the el pastor and it was perfectly marinated and full of flavor. The sopes was soft on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside… giving a savory and full flavor. Also well seasoned. It was topped with cabbage & sour cream.
Their signature pupusa was my personal favorite! For me it was the thick corn outer shell stuffed with cheese and carnitas. I took a bite and there was something nostalgic about it!
A few bites more and I noticed the slaw on the side… I put it on top and WOW!!! Took it to another level.
If this place was in LA or Bay Area with all the bells and whistles… there would be a line out the door!

The atmosphere is what you would expect for a hole in the wall. Just basic and older… but by the time you take your first bite, it’s irrelevant.

Talked with the owner and his sister!!! Great people! Realized his wife is a regular at Clash, which was an extra cherry on top!!! (We love supporting our customers businesses!)

If you are ever in Mendota, check it out!“

“We rode into town for the drag races and stopped to eat. Friendly people and good food, right up the road from the races! Don’t miss it!“

“This a cute little hole in the wall. It’s clean and neat! I was just craving Pupusas and I got these big beautiful thick, cheesy beauties that I couldn’t even finish in one sitting. They are sooo good! Not greasy at all!! Just cheesy deliciousness! I love them!“
