Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Modesto, CA

Samuel Arellano As of 6/21/24 they still dont have a liquor license. With that said, the service was great. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and I really liked the vibe and theme. The food was delicious. I ordered two carne asada tacos and despite not being able to order a beer they were totally on point. The meat was juicy and tender, the salsa was good, and the tortilla was delicious. The grilled jalapeño and onions were a delicious bonus. I will definitely go back.

Jason Becht Great local spot with a clean bar, solid beer list, and hearty food (the French Dip with au jus was on point). The vibe here is laid-back but can light up quick once the jukebox gets going — everyone’s singing, smiling, and having a good time. Nelson, the owner, is a genuinely cool and down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone feels welcome. Definitely a place to make your regular stop.

Vanessa Vanderpol Leanna is an absolute angel. Other staff is friendly as well. Great stop for a family day, for a romantic date, or a quick drink.

Amber McElroy Very cool spot. Bright and colorful. So many delicious options I quite literally couldnt decide! Easily accommodated our party of 7 . Nice outdoor area as well. Cannot wait to go back again and again to try more plus specialty drinks! Only downfall personally is I did not request crisp bacon for my scramble so I had to pick it all out because it is too chewy for me. Cost is a little high, but huge portions that definitely prove why it is.

American Angler After dropping off my car carrier to my old pal Oscar Mendoza, so he can get his cars down to the Riverside Concours delegance next weekend, we headed straight to the Bella Italia Restaurant. Being in Modesto with a tried and true Mexican...I expected tacos! But...Man-O-Man was I pleasantly surprised, the food was amazing! Well worth the trip. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Maya Kay This place is the perfect date idea! All the food is delicious and they have different events daily such as line dancing and karaoke nights! I like how they have a big seating area and menu, two full bars, a pool table, dance floor and mini golf! They are also available for private events as well!

Brinae Gaudet We had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The staff was so nice and the food was amazing. The chocolate silk pie and I shared a beautiful moment together. Will come back.

Elitania Rosas Customer service and vibes here are always amazing! They always give you some peanuts to start off with and they’re quick with the drinks and ordering everything you want! Now the bread here NO restaurant compares to how soft, warm and fluffy this bread always is just a masterpiece!! I will always return here, great place for birthdays or date nights as well!!

Angelica Ngim First time here and everything was so good!! Not really a martini person but it looked pretty haha!! The aesthetic area with the bar was packed and we wish we could go in there next time!!

Paul Jankowski Great food and excellent service. Awesome staff. Large portions. Asked for extra crispy hash browns and they were spot on!

A A Finally something different! An Italian Food Truck. Just have to say this place is definitely a regular go to spot, in my lunch-time lineup. Fettuccine alfredo w/ grilled chicken, Kathys Fave, Chicken Marsala are all 1st string starters on my team. Still need to build my team by scouting their menu some more. Theyre definitely All Pros. Keep up the good work.

Scott Hayes Always a crowd pleaser, I had the shrimp bowl with “amino sauce” and it was a really fresh and well balanced/put together dish. Also I like how they leave a chilled, reusable glass container on the table for your water.

Matt Johnson What a lovely meal and experience. We were able to be seated fairly quick. Amanda was fantastic at helping us navigate the menu and specials. We started with the flaming cheese [cant recall the menu name]... so good. Our table opted for fish plates and a chicken marsalla. Everyone was impressed. The fish was perfect. The chicken, delicious. Plating and pairing was spot on. I enjoyed a small bowl of clam chowder that I will be back for just that alone sometime. To finish, a creme brulee that was a spoon fight till the end. Amanda kept us taken care of the whole time and ensured we had time to enjoy without being rushed. Its not a budget meal, but for me the value is very high. Ill be back and feel like I can recommend a meal here with absolutely zero worries. Thanks for the great dinner.

Robert Sereno Had a rehearsal lunch at Mimosas for 25 people. Service level and food were all excellent! Great local place for this event, close to several downtown wedding venues.
