Being from Socal, the Mexican food in Modesto in general is horrible but this place is really a hidden gem. Tried many places and I think I finally found Modestos best kept secret. The place isn't the most welcoming, it can use an update/remodel because it looks like a taco shack out of Tijuana in the hood but do NOT let it fool you, the food is better than decent. My family had tortas ahogadas and burritos and when you order the food, they actually take time MAKING the food which I appreciate a lot. Trust me, I can see good food in the making, unlike most Modesto places that already have everything prepared making it un-authentic. The inside isn't the prettiest but it's the food that counts and here definitely it counts. The down side is that because it's located in an industrial area, they close at 3 pm everyday. So, if you want that delicious food, you have to get it early. Parking is also limited, this is a place where you pass by and if you see a space then you eat there but if you don't see space then you move on. I'm really reluctant to tell the owner, who works there with he's wife and family to really consider remodeling the place, because that will bring more people in my estimation. Especially if more parking is added. Now, my favorite part is that the cooking area is cleaned, a very big one for me. Every spot I go to I always try looking at their kitchen, it tells you a lot. I got to say that I'm really impressed with how clean they have it. They try making an effort for design and for that I give them credit. The only reason they don't get the 5 stars is because they are lacking some really good authentic salsas. Some thick Molcajete Guadalajara style salsas. But, the food is better than average and this place is my #1 in Modesto for now. Highly recommend the torta ahogada which is about a foot long and you'll need 2 ppl to eat that because almost everyone cannot finish it by themselves. Overall, this is by far the best I've come across here in Modesto. Give this hole in the wall a try and I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

The torta ahogada is delicious! The bread is so crispy before you drown it in the sauce it’s perfect. The carnitas are also a big factor. They’re not salty or greasy it’s just such a great combo. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I heard that the quesabirrias and tacos dorados are great too I’ll be trying those next.

Was worried about finding a good taco place since I've been let down by a couple places here. But hot damn just found me my spot.

Huevos rancheros were great! Enough food for one. Fair price for the quality. Long waits even for just a cup of coffee, but still very good food so go or order with time and patience, hope they manage better on that too, will definitely go back.

Was in the mood for something different. 3 fried bean tacos topped with carnitas, cabbage, green onion and a lime. chili sauce on the side. Tacos Dorados were a good twist to a staple Mexican dish. I enjoyed the meal. #spicemeister approved.

Breakfast burritos were delicious. They use cut potatoes which are our preferred potato type for a breakfast burrito as they make for a yummy bite. Bacon was perfect - no uncooked chewy fat or dry hard bits. Veggies were nicely cooked- tender but not mushy. Tortillas were nicely browned. So good and totally hit the spot. We will be back!
