El bistro by Salt and Pepper.

Came here for brunch as a party of 6 on a Sunday morning. Our food and drinks came out pretty quickly. Overall everyone liked their food. Huevos rancheros is way too saucy but otherwise it’s very good. The veggie omelet seemed bland however everything is healthy, light and fresh.

I get there I give my phone number because there is a line, there is a 20 to 30 minute wait; more than the time said passed am waiting outside the parking lot just seeing that people go in and out and I go in ask if it’s my time to go in she said I notified you 2 times, I been looking at my phone for the past 40 minutes and I don’t see anything. The girl got my number wrong unprofessional if you ask me.

It's almost sad how disappointing this place is.

So much effort put into its presentation but there isn't an ounce of love in it's execution.

Look closely and see the areas that go commonly unseen to see the true flaws of this establishment. Notice the body language of its staff — nobody is happy.

Why? The staff knows why, but do you?

Best Brunch spot in Modesto. Chilaquiles are 10/10. French toast is also tasty! I recommend this spot for sure!

Food was great up until I found a fly belly up mixed in. I told the waitress about it. She just took my plates and asked me if I wanted a NEW plate. I was almost done and they still came back and said well we need to charge you the drinks didn’t even tell the manager or no one. Never going back!

A refreshing fusion of Mexican flavors with American cuisine! The Quesabirria Tacos came with 2 tacos, consomme & house made hot sauce - DELICIOUS & FLAVORFUL! Not to mention, very reasonably priced at only $15! Then there's a yummy fusion coffee shop on the other side! Decor has modern black & white touches with wood accents. Bathroom was very clean. The only downside... the flies pestering us while we were eating. I'm sure an overhead blower over the door or some UV bug zappers will essily fix that. Looking forward to coming back to try more! Keep it up El Bistro! ??

I am in the area visiting family and we decided to stop here for brunch since the menu looked good. We arrived and saw quite a few open tanles, so we figured we would be sat very quickly. We had to wait a little bit of time but were disappointed watching other parties that arrived after us be seated before we were. Even when we are 1st in line on their digital waiting system we watched parties get seated ahead of us, when we asked why we were told they had been ahead of us on their wait list even though we saw them walk in after we had already put our names down and arrived. We were sat and it took some time to get our tea and coffee, and our food was out very quickly once we finally ordered. Not once during the meal did anyone come to check on us and ask if we needed anything. I was quite disappointed when I ordered the mexi-omlette, it didnt say there was cheese on it on the menu and I had to pull a bunch off of the top of the omlette. It also said it came with sour cream and salsa, I got the salsa and not the sour cream an since no one came by our table I didnt even have the opportunity to ask for a side.
The service was certainly lacking for as busy as they seem to be. That makes it unappealing to consider returning.

I had high hopes for this restaurant I seen on TikTok. It’s a No for me.

The food wasn’t good, the asada tasted dry and with no flavor. It tasted like it was reheated. The chilaquiles were mid too, the sauce wasn’t giving me homemade flavor. Where I was seated I seen big yellow cans of something I couldn’t make the name of but it reminded me of those green/red sauce cans you find in the Hispanic aisle at a grocery store. So, I do not know what came out of a can, the beans or sauce?

The last saving grace I was giving them was the abuelita ice mocha I ordered. It just tasted like pure moca sauce with milk. No flavor of the abuelita chocolate.

Now the service, there were some ladies in there that were so nice. There was a gentleman that was really nice too. Now, it just felt a little disorganized. When we came in we were seated and a male server came. We were ready to order for a while but that same male server was just talking, so I just thought he will take the hint eventually. Well he never came back it was another female that came and asked us the same question the male server did about drinks. So who’s the waiter to what table??

For the price of the food I expected better quality. The atmosphere was nice though, it has a nice vibe and the food LOOKS pretty. I just wouldn’t waste my money here again.

Service was great, attentive, but the food was bland and tasteless. How can a chili relleno be bland???
