El Forastero Mexican Food - Modesto

Very hit and miss when you come here... being a 24 hour place, that's normally what happens. Inconsistent staff... went there recently and ordered a breakfast burrito with no potato (hoping a little smaller and lighter ya know), this thing had NO eggs! Was 98% chorizo, 1% cheese, 1% tortilla. It was bleeding grease by the time I got home. Called them to maybe resolve this issue... no answer 4 straight times. Might give it another try... 3 outta 5 visits were solid.

This was my first time eating here but I've driven by a lot and just never stopped. I got the shrimp tacos and the veggie bowl. The shrimp tacos are large and full of shrimp. The veggie bowl had a lot of beans, rice, lettuce, veggies, etc. The sauces were really good and the food was fresh. I'll be eating here more often when I'm on that side of town.

The food here is super fresh and delicious. I eat here several times a week and sometimes multiple times a day lol it is that good! Definitely home style, not a ton of grease and the meat is great quality. I recommend the carne asada, it is seasoned perfectly and cut just right, never chewy or gamey.

I always get what I ask for and they don?t forget my order, and they don?t skimp out of the serving size like a lot of other places. Always come back to El Forastero, get the carne asada fries, my personal favorite. Also really good Horchata.

I was impressed; a 24 hour family oriented place with a drive thru. They sell daily meals great combination platters, family packs and catering trays. Yes 1 person can dine with good portions for under $10 depending on which combo size drink. I chose $8.50 rolled tacos with guac cheese sour cream plus a medium tea.There?s a FREE salsa bar. For those hard workers they can wine down with happy hour too????. Time: 4-7pm $1.99 drinks and a special plate to munch out too.Come enjoy the delicious food. Also,It?s a clean place with bright fun colors,too.
