Burrito

“Great food and terrific pricing for these times! This is a special Taqueria truck that is parked consistently at Fourth Street and San Jose St. in San Juan Bautista. Good selection of items; my favorites are their burrito made with chili verde or their yummy tacos with choice of meat. As of now (12/2024),Taco Tuesday’s price is $1.50/taco (also 3-9 pm on Thursdays.)
You can’t go wrong with Taqueria el Milagro (a genuine miracle!)“

Their Menudo broth is a little fattier Mama Lupitas and Fish n Chips but comes with more than just tripe which I love, and its available regularly everyday. The lady at the register is always super nice and service is always quick. Prices are very fair for what you get.“

“Okay I actually don't leave reviews for fast food restaurants, but I couldn't help it for this one time. Whoever is in the kickten right now at 12:45pm is a complete master at cooking. I have gone to many different pollo locos and ask for the same burrito, and never have I had one like this. Seriously, I can't even put it to words.

The Chipotle chicken avocado burrito felt like it was made by a holy entity. The only regret I have is that I didn't take a picture of it. If I had a chance, I would gladly shake everyone's hand in the kitchen and thank them for their excellent work.

De veras que rico estaba ese burrito wow. Pero si los con estan en la cocina esta fijándose mucho en el cualidad de la comida que sale a los clientes. Lo agradezco mucho.“

Los Grullenses Restaurant #3 Mexican •
249 San Benito St, Hollister - 7.56 miles

“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!!! 👍🏼“

“Delicious and fresh. I discovered this place recently and noticed the workers are attentive and hard working. I like to order ahead of time, and swing by to find my food is always ready when I get there (typically 10 min or less). Their "al pastor sopes" are on point and have a variety of veggies, avocado, and fresh cheese. The consistency of the "sope" is a good balance between soft and crunchy.... totally recommend.“
