La Mo Restaurant

Yes, the ambiance is amazing, and the staff was nice. Their pancake of the day is really good, but the rest of the food we ordered is not bad. It's just not that memorable tbh. There's just something missing in the food (maybe it's just what we ordered). The lavender matcha latte is ok, too. But please check them out and experience them for yourself.

I really enjoyed this spot. The atmosphere was perfect. I loved how attentive our waitress was. The food was out fast and tasted so delicious. The chilaquiles were also amazing. My bean soup was good but I did feel the ground turkey lacked slight flavor. My salad was so scrumptious and refreshing. I will be back to try some more menu items!

The food was amazing, the staff were kind and the art was adorable. Highly recommend

Wedding chicken was delicious! Very happy with it and added some guacamole from my chips and salsa to add to the tortillas.

Salem was wonderful. The food was great. Everything was wonderful. Set next to water fountain and was peaceful even with the crowd highly recommend this place. Definitely a come back too. Would give a 7 star if I could. Great job everyone.

Absolutely loved the food! We got a chorizo breakfast burrito, Chilaquiles, and a queso based appetizer. Amazing coffee too! Service was solid, but our drinks were forgotten so we had to ask again. No biggie!

We walked in and told the cashier inside the coffee shop that we wanted a table and she replied with “you need to order food to get a table” like we were walking in there just to watch everyone else eat. We waited over 40 minutes to get our food, but the food was good. Definitely overpriced though.

We had another great experience at La Mo! It never disappoints. We ordered off of the Friday Specials menu and we are so glad we did. The butternut squash empanadas were amazing and the braised beef was delicious. The atmosphere is also relaxing, lively, and fun. Don't miss this one!

I held a rehearsal dinner at LaMo. The food was excellent and all the staff, especially Brityn was so wonderful to work with. The ambiance was wonderful and the event turned out great. I would highly recommended LaMo for an event or even just to eat there. The food is excellent.

The ambiance is amazing, but the food is lacking. Came here because of several raving recommendations, they really hyped the spot up so I was excited for the most delicious brunch. The place is PACKED, which is a great sign, we waited maybe 30 minutes or so for a table. There's a ton of seating, multiple seating areas both inside and outside, with the inside areas having wide open doors so it's pretty much like outside minus open air overhead. The crowd is a nice mix of all ages... screaming kids included. The menu is small and it wasn't hard to make a decision- in hindsight we should have looked at the menu first before deciding to eat here. I got the Latin Benedict, fiancee got the chilaquiles and they had the same flavor because they were both over saturated in the same sauce. The regular coffee was pretty standard, the El Chapo coffee was a better choice, but someone's gotta do the driving! I think the experience would have been better if we had gotten some of the pretty and colorful alcoholic drinks, cause all those that had them were having a great time. Glad we tried it, but likely won't be coming here again when there's some much better breakfast choices on the same street.

I had the carne asada and eggs. Great seasoning, and the music was great. I the el chapo, bourbon in coffee!! Service was fast and efficient.

Amazing food. Great ambiance. Service was a little overwhelmed but overall friendly. Amazing brunch. Want to take my family back.

This place is so good! I wish I lived closer because they do have limited hours. It's a great place for brunch. The food was perfect and I love that they have Mexican options as well. The restaurant has beautiful indoor and outdoor seating.

We have been going to La Mo for years. My wife meets her friends there often. The place is solid for the atmosphere. Very serene setting and the owner takes pride in the restaurant. Clean and comfortable. Turlock needs more places like this. A little pricey but that's our life here in California. The food is usually on point and consistent. I had the Chili Rellenos today and they were good but I like my cheese melted. Beans, tortillas and rice were great. My wife had the shrimp enchiladas and loved them. She usually gets the iced tea but said that their tea is weak so she passed. My coffee was strong but good. Love the coffee cups. Our server, Benny, was fantastic. Gave good advice when we were debating what to get. Kept the coffee and water full. We will continue to go to La Mo and recommend it to friends and family.

They've moved into the whole bottom floor. Dining areas inside and outside. Food is fine. I went for day-after new year breakfast. I had tostadas, delicious. Latte, beautiful. They came out a little late, which was fine. The place is poppin'.

Love this place!!!! The food is excellent ... The customer service is happy I want to work attitude.....

This spot came highly recommend by the girl friend as one of the best brunches in Turlock for one thing, and it's the wedding chicken. Anthony Bourdain once said that if there's something on the menu with cream sauce, get it. I saw that quote a couple weeks ago, and realized it's a rule I've been living by for my whole life. Cream sauce is always the way to go, and the wedding chicken lived up to the hype. Creamy, spicy, flavorful, the sauce makes the dish. It came with chicken, fresh tortillas, rice and beans, and I found it to be really filling. We stared with the queso fundido, and I wasn't blown away by it, and would probs not order again, and just stick with the wedding chicken. The margaritas were tasty and was a refreshing beverage to battle the Central Valley heat. It was busy around 12pm but we were able to get a table in 30 minutes. There was a farmers market outside which made the time fly by. Overall, I'd come here again, just for that wedding chicken. Next time I look forward to trying it as a burrito.

Such a cute place. I had seen this place before but the wait had been too long for the short time we had in this town. Today we made it in lol they sat us down right away seems they expanded since last year. The food was great and my drink even better! Absolutely willing to make the drive to come back here!

Another great experience. We were seated right when we arrived, which was unexpected for a Saturday! All the food was fantastic, though mine was not quite as hot as I would have liked. Great flavors and such a lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to go back again soon!

The service was great but the food was flavorless Got garden scramble with more flavor in the potato then on the eggs and they were a bit burned Potato's needed to be cooked a bit more thoroughly Honestly smelled the burned egg and tasted a bit of both and lost my appetite Chilaquiles lack flavor both red and green had the coloring but not actual taste Queso fundido was okay but the only thing we actually finished I felt out of everything tried I wanted the black beans from the queso fundido more than anything else

I have been coming to La Mo for over 7 years and realized I've never written a review for it. Over the years, my thoughts have changed and this is where I stand at the moment: La Mo Cafe - literally would give the Cafe (not the restaurant) a 5/5. The coffee is ALWAYS consistently good. I think from the +7 years I've been coming to the cafe, I've only had one bad drink. I do need to emphasize that they rotate their coffee routinely between roasters. Their pastries are also top notch! Super good and a great variety. The breakfast bagels are literally such an option if we don't want to go to the restaurant. Moving on the restaurant. Ambiance - 5/5 really love the outside patio! It's so nice during the warmer months where is very lively and refreshing to be outdoors. During the winter, it's not so pleasant, but they do their best with heaters. Service - 5/5 in all my years coming here, I've never had bad service. Everyone is always kind! Food - 3/5 the food selection is pretty nice. It's not a diner where there is an overwhelming amount of options, this is a bistro and they are slim on their menu. They do have seasonal/special offering which they'll have throughout the week/season. However, since going for so long, I can now state that their food quality is not where it used to be. A few years back, I would be going every week, and the food never wavered. That has changed, the food is not as consistent as a used to be, and that is why I can't give it a 5. Overall, both the Cafe and Restaurant are great options to try if you're in the area.

Small wait without a reservation. The cafe is on the street entrance of the plaza and the restaurant is inside the plaza. Food was good but not the best Mexican, the spicy Benedict was their best dish imo

The service took a while, after ordering soup it took about 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The Pozole tasted watered down and the pork was well over cooked. Over all very unseasoned for the price. The staff were very nice though.

I usually really enjoy coming to this place but this is the second time I've had bad experience. The first time, the service wasn't so great, customer service sucked. Decided to go there again today. Put our name on the wait list and the girl in the front putting us on waitlist had a lot of attitude and she seemed bothered when I was asking her questions and she would respond with lots of attitude. Try said wait list is about 15-20 mins... 30 mins later we sat down and once we were ready to order food and drinks, the waitress told us they won't take any orders for coffee or tea because the cafe is backed up... so we left without ordering. This should have been something that they discussed prior to sitting us down because we literally waisted 30 mins for nothing. Seems like customer service keeps getting worse. You could do better La Mo

Loved this place! First timer and i wasn't disappointed! Everyone was so friendly and i got my food and coffee very fast. The ambiance is great too. Im excited to go back!

Good Food, ambiance and service Definitely one of my favorite spots. I love to to every chance I get when I'm Turlock.

The food was good, had the breakfast burritos with chorizo. The restaurant has two indoor dining areas and an outdoor area. By the groups of young adults who were there for brunch, it appears to be the in place for a margarita and loud conversations.

Loved my lunch at La Mo last week. Met a friend for early lunch. The restuarant was busy but we were seated quickly. You can choose to sit either in or outside. Menu has many options, I decided on the french toast with fresh fruit and cream. Customer service was excellent, attenative and on it. We were seated close to the kitchen and every time they brought a plate out I was making a mental note to order that next time. Atmosphere was pleasant, service was excellent and food was delicious. Cannot wait to return and try something new!

I absolutely love the coffees I've gotten from here. My current favorite is La Lechada. However, I've had breakfast here on a few occasions and every single time my stomach ends up hurting. The most recent time was a week ago when a friend took me out for my birthday and I ordered the chilaquiles. They tasted great but once again I ended up with a stomach ache. I think I'll stick to the coffee from now on!

First timers at La Mo, and food is good, hospitality is great. It is a bit pricey. We had two coffees, two sides , 1 appetizer, and 1 stack of pancakes for $75. We would give the food 8/10. Coffee (all made there) 10/10.

Ratings are very high. My view it's overrated. I expected it to be great. Outdoor dining like feel since doors are big patio doors. Food ok I guess.

I don't get why this place is popular!?!?The food is flavorless; very blahhhh... Never again!

Good food, amazing coffee! The location is my favorite part. The outside seating area is so comforting, with the heaters and blankets. You do have to wait for your coffee longer than usual at times (we have received cold coffee a few times) So be prepared in case you're in a hurry or looking forward to having it first (as we always are) I understand they have to serve the cafe next door as well, but this has been happening lately. We have been having to get their attention several times throughout our meals (in need of more water, another drink, condiments or reminder of our coffee order) since we have been just served and they're gone. We haven't been going as often as that gets tiring and becomes difficult to enjoy our meals.

Food was ok, in my honest opinion it wasn't GREAT to the point that I would need to go back. It was flavorful and a little over priced for not being GREAT. Service was amazing though, staff is nice and attend well.

We came here to celebrate my best friend birthday and it was exceptional. They started the fun with had bottomless Mamosa's, while I chose to enjoy the amazing coffee from "Noble Coffee" (Ashland, Oregon). Most of us ordered the tacos and it was STOOPID GOOD. All of the corn tortillas are home-made. They surprise my friend with a birthday cake that was phenomenal. Tres-Leches cake. It was so good I'm pretty sure I ate most of it. (Chuckles) From the staff to the service to the food, everything was nothing short of an amazing birthday and experience. Thank you guys for making it unforgettable.

When you first walk up, you see the La Mo cafe! This is not the restaurant... keep walking past the shops on the right to get to the restaurant courtyard. On a Tuesday mid morning, this place had a wait of 20+ minutes! The courtyard seating environment is so cute & saved from the sun by umbrellas. They also have large fans. They serve weekly specials for different menu items/drinks. Food is a little on the pricier side for the serving size that you get, but the food is very flavorful and SO good!! The chicken tinga compuesta was on the spicier side if you are sensitive like me!! If passing through Turlock again, would definitely go back and next time try their cocktails and this cake/bread dessert with fruit and whipped cream! Tables nearby us kept ordering and it looked delicious!

I would give a 5, but....I get really annoyed sitting inside a place and flies landing on my food:( I was wishing I had a tail soo don't constantly have to use my hand to get them off:( Having said that....Kris.. aka Tina is a 5 star!! Excellent service and suggestions. We came in pretty close to closing and she never made us feel rushed. She's a professional! Food is good. I personally didn't care fore the little block of cilantro rice, but to each his own. Enchiladas were good and mashed black beans. Homemade corn tortillas... who wouldn't appreciate that! I wish modesto had cute places like this. Jelly of downtown Turlock's plethora of food choices and hip relaxing atmosphere. Not one person hit me up for money to sing a few notes of Amazing Grace!!

Great place to have brunch/breakfast. I enjoy their spicy margarita and the chilaquiles.

Pescado Encocado special was over the top fantastic! Like James Beard quality dish. The salmon was perfectly cooked, skin crispy, fish tender & perfectly seasoned and the sauce with a mild Thai curry flavor was to.die.for!! Rice was equally yummy and the jicama side salad added the right amount of crunch & freshness! So many positives at La Mo, if you haven't been in a while- GO BACK

Who doesn't love la mo. The Ambiance. The Food. The people who work here. Love it here and I feel I don't come here as often as I would like.

I went to La Mo's this week and the food was good but the customer service was horrendous! I told the 1st waitress to not put cheese on the wedding chicken plate. She said that was fine. Another waitress brought my food and behold there was cheese all over my food! I asked the waitress kindly if I can get the plate redone with no cheese (as I had asked in the first place) and she scoffed and rolled her eyes!! Didn't know it would be such a hassle and not my fault that someone else dropped the ball on simple directions. I called La Mo to speak with a manager to address the situation and wow the manager was just as rude as the employee!! She quickly tried to take the call as if she had better things to do. The manager was very dismissive about what happened and instantly blamed it on another manager (as if giving an eye roll to a customer is okay). She didn't even acknowledge the employees inappropriate behaviors and said the employee would get a "pep talk" then barked out an "apology". I guess La Mo hires rude workers!

Such a great brunch spot! There are tons of different indoor and outdoor seating options, with everything from table umbrellas to heat lamps and blankets. The menu is super fresh! I ordered Guadalupe's tacos and the flavors and portions were spot on. The menu has all of your traditional Mexican dishes like chilaquiles and tamales and I can't wait to go back and try more menu options.

Yum!!! My friend and I visited on Halloween... the kids were trick or treating in downtown Turlock- but we only had to wait a minute for a table. I had a Chai Latte & Healthy Burrito for lunch & it was delicious! The service was great too!!

The food has always been fresh and delicious. The coffees are perfect and the outdoor seating in the courtyard is simply relaxing. Great service as well.

Honestly I have no idea where they're getting their to go plastic utensils from.... But I swear to god that's the best plastic knife I've ever used in my life. Shit cuts through wedding burritos like it's nothing. Chicken? Knifes got it handled. Blew my mind today. Anyways. If you know what's good for you, you'll go grab some wedding chicken today. Love you La Mo fam.

Great service . We had a breakfast at this place and the food was good. The environment is very pleasant.

Love La Mo! They always have great food and make sure to use many local ingredients. They have a beautiful atmosphere too with a great outdoor patio area and indoor seating too. Amazing speciality coffee options like La Lechada.

Amazing food and service! Used to go here when I went to Stan State to hang out with friends.

Their plastic utensils are UNMATCHED!! I took one of the plastic knives home and used it for my thanksgiving HAM, TURKEY, and even skinned a wild boar I shot on our annual thanksgiving Hunt!!

Favorite place in turlock. Busy and loud sometimes but the food is excellent and cute environment.

Being a Bay Area native and having a lot of Mexican chilaquiles... this is probably, if not the top of my list! Added chorizo on top and the flavor was just amazing! Service was really good as well. They were checking in making sure we were all good. A definite favorite place and can never go wrong with an added vanilla latte on the side.

Yes, ok I have heard about over the years about this place ! Nice ambiance decent food & service... still looking for that place that makes you drive to it ... a local hangout I guess why complain on pricing French toast $13.50 no eggs or bacon with it, just French toast with a handful of pieces of fruit ... plus coffee and tip $20 breakfast is now a $20 breakfast outing ... McDonald's is $10 for coffee/ egg McMuffin & large coffee... this the new normal however I suspect the $20 will be $25 soon and McDonald's will be $12 plus ... minimum wage is at $15 and few seem happy with it ... a server shared the other day that most of her 8 hour days she makes north of $500 daily they work hard, that's not the question ‍

Fantastic! Coffee is delicious. The wedding sauce is a must! Latin Benedict is incredible.

Loved the ambiance, food and coffee. It's a win for me. We ordered the pumpkin pancakes, chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros. All delicious.

My wife and I love this place. One of our favorites is the wedding chicken. Haven't had any complaints about any food I've received here. Service is always nice and attentive. We went for valentines dinner here once and couldn't have been any happier. Will be back many times , when in the area.

Great spot for Breakfast/Brunch that we found thanks to Yelp! It's now part of our itinerary whenever we're traveling the 99.

It's aight, for the area it looks wonderful and gets you excited to eat but the food is average at best. American Breakfast shouldn't be better at dennys just saiyan.
