Sister loves this place, especially their taco salad. Have only ordered thru the drive thru. Just one beef taco is filling & taste so good! The servings are worth the extra cost. The service is great & the cashiers are very pleasant.

I’ve gone here a few times now. Usually I get the nachos but this time I wanted to try their chicken burritos. This one came with rice, sour cream, chicken, and cheese. I think next time I would get it without the rice but overall it was a tasty treat.

They get the best breakfast burritos in riverbank. And the most respectful workers.

We love this place. Great food, walking in or drive thru, they are super eager to help and service is phenomenal. If you dine in, they have a great selection of salsas and coming from someone who has mastered a few of my own, they are pretty solid. Personally, my wife and I think their best one is the red tomatillo. If I had to pick a second it would be the avocado salsa. As far as recommendations, if you like breakfast burritos, they’ve got the best I’ve had in Modesto or riverbank by far; personally I take it with jamon (ham). Their super burrito is great, and the deluxe nachos are awesome. They have great carne asada too, very tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Finally, they have a great cucumber agua Fresca! Definitely recommend this location.
