34 Best Mexican Restaurants in Turlock

“We tried this tonight for the first time, and it’ll definitely be our new go-to! It was quick and delicious! Prices were reasonable and food came out quick and hot! My asada burrito was delicious—normally I can’t eat a whole burrito, but I killed it tonight!“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant since I was 12 years old.“

“This is my 1st time trying this place and I am so happy that I did. The Carne Asada Fries are 🔥
The burritos are huge and delicious
10/10 will be back soon
Thank you for making such amazing food and great service“

“Love the food here... especially since this is literally one of the very few Mexican restaurants in Turlock that offers ground beef as a meat option. I love the Nachos Supreme (with ground beef), and the tacos are amazing! They have a nice salsa bar also. The seating is a little cramped for my liking, so I just take my food to go. No biggie. Also, I detest seeing flies in a restaurant, but this place seems to manage it pretty well. I will definitely come back! Suggestion: Please switch to Coca-Cola products instead of Pepsi-Cola. Coca-Cola is so much better tasting in my humble opinion.“

“excellent tasting food. Friendly and super fast service“

“Welcoming atmosphere and people. Delicious, flavorful and fresh food! My favorite lunch go to place.“

“I really don't want to write this review because i know what will happen so here is my story...I passed this taco truck on my way to pick up vax for my cattle at Lander's Veterinary Clinic a week ago. I was curious about the taco truck and asked the folx working at the vet clinic if they recommended the truck's food. They raved about it. Since I had cash I made the decision to stop on my way back home to buy some tacos and put them to the test...I'm kinda of a food snob.Here is what I ordered: (2) carne asada tacos, (2) al pastor, (1) lengua taco, and a (1) tripas taco to try out. I doubted they could do better than the taco places I grew up by in L.A..OMG! Shut the Front Door!!The tacos were so good that on my way back home to Oakdale, I ate most of the tacos. My husband is lucky he had two tacos leftover for his dinner. These were even better than any tacos I've had in SoCal!!It gets busy during lunch time so take a longer lunchbreak or get there early. I'm heading back soon and taking my boss and a few colleagues with me.Cash only business. Covered benches, no bathrooms, bring your baby wipes if you eat there.“

“This place is so, so good! Very authentic, at least from what I remember as a child in Mexico, watching and tasting the yummy pork softly boiling in a cauldron of lard. ☺️ Fresh tender sheets of cueritos come out first, then the buche, and finally the carnitas! THIS place is JUST like that- in taste -and I love it!! Service is super. The couple that owns it is very friendly. They answered all our questions (husband is on a strict diet; minding his macros n’ all) and made suggestions on menu items. Everything we’ve ordered has been amazing. We highly recommend this eatery to all our friends.“

“The food is priced well. It's delicious and good portions.Staff is friendly and bilingual(Spanish/English)Food was served hot and quick!Thank you <3 ❤️

Parking: There's a business right next door, if you need extra parking, use their lot.The Taco truck lot itself it fairly small.

“El Jardin in Turlock is truly a gem that never disappoints! The ambiance is enchanting, featuring charming houses transformed into a delightful restaurant, with stunning flowers adorning the patio and walkways. The food is consistently delicious, and the friendly staff make every visit special. This spot has become a favorite of mine, and I’ve introduced many friends to its hidden charm.

I usually order the chicken fajitas, paired with a refreshing water. Every time, the meal is cooked to perfection, making it a perfect choice after indulging in their amazing chips, salsa, and bean dip. The salsa here is my absolute favorite—it's a must-try! I’ve spent many memorable Mother’s Days at El Jardin, and each visit just reaffirms why this place holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend!“

“If I can say one thing about Authentic Street Taco (AST), it would be that THEY DELIVERED. Literally and figuratively. We absolutely over ordered and we could not be happier about it. AST was our end of the night caterer (Wedding on 12/21/24, for reference). We chose to have the food dropped off & set it up in buffet style. There were no unhappy guests & bonus, what we took home, we enjoyed the next night! As a matter of fact, we had some leftover quesadillas (don't know how that happened), so we froze them & later threw into an air fryer & OMG it was amazing. Needless to say, we HIGHLY recommend. Excellent food, excellent communication, & excellent service. Thank you, Authentic Street Taco!!“

“Our first visit at Mariachis did not disappoint us at all, rather it exceeded our expectations. As soon as we entered we were greeted by friendly staff, and we were given a huge basket of fresh tortilla chips with two dishes of homemade salsa while we figured out our orders. We ordered a classic margarita and two tacos. The tacos had a lot of flavor and they were huge. The margarita tasted fresh, and was balanced perfectly. Plus Mariachis has a great atmosphere that every Mexican restaurant should model after. We will definitely come back, and recommend Mariachis to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Turlock.“

“I got breakfast, red chilaquiles with eggs, but it was too spicy. It was still good it was my first time coming here. My mother n law got 3 chicken tacos (crunchy) they were good too. We did find a hair in one of our chips, but other than that everything was good.“

“Bought: 3 tacos asada, no onions, no cilantro (yes, I know... blasphemy!) Short Version: "Par" tacos that improved to "good" after applying lemon, for good price. Long Review: Tortillas on the tacos are on the smaller side of normal, doubled up as usual, and has a corn-ier flavor. Meat is finely chopped, and tastes alright on its own, with occasional chunks of fat blended in (which could be a plus or a minus, depending on your tastes. See picture). Sauce on its own is alright, and moderately spicey. The portion is a dollup in the middle (see picture). I feel like the tacos with more sauce were better, so I'm inclined to suggest to the owner to slightly increase the amount on the tacos. However, it would also make them a bit spicier, so might turn off more sensitive customers. (Keep in mind, this is without cilantro or onions) On my first taco, I tried it unaltered and had nothing particularly positive or negative to say. It was ok, if a bit on the bland side for what I would expect. For my second taco, I grabbed a slightly saucier one and this time generously applied lemon to it. This taco was much better, really livened it up. I still am not sure I would put it at the best of the best, but for $1.50, I was pretty happy. For the third, I added the jalapeno into the mix, and liked the additional kick, but it had less of the lemon juice (used much on #2) and salsa, and that flavor didn't come out quite as much. Overall, about even with #2. Two lemons would have been a good idea. Service was part, although truck operator (owner?) acted a little odd (anxious? Confused? Suspicious?) About me taking pictures and such. Seemed ok after I explained it was for Google. I didn't use the radishes. No comment on any other menu items (burritos, quesadillas, etc), because I didn't buy them.“

“Food here is delicious ! Big portions! One night I got a carne asada plate and my girlfriend got super nachos - we were so stuffed after but wanted to keep eating cuz it was so good! The staff treated us very nice , it was our first time and we’ll definitely be coming back to try “

“they have really good burritos de asada.“

“Real good food! Love the selections! Good ol’ classic Turloco diner! Nice patio.“

“Good gggggggggggghhhhhhhh“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are fair. Food was excellent. Chips salsa and a bowl of refried beans. Had cheese enchiladas and fajitas chicken carne asada and shrimp. So much food. We had left overs to take home. Will be back need to try the molcajate. Be “

“Just randomly stopped by while driving truck in area. Got a super Asada burrito with everything. Have had hundreds of burritos from various food trucks across not only california but country as well and this is for sure a shinning star. I hope to be back in area again and is a stop I would go out of the way for. If you don't like spicy get salsa on side. But even in burrito it is about perfect heat level in my opinion. My only disappointment is I did not order more not because of size (that was big) but because flavor was on point and i want more.“
