Found this place through the Happy Cow app looking for something different that had Vegan options. It's a wow for sure. Excellent atmosphere, service , and food. They very extremely accommodating with my vegan requests and everything tasted home made. I'll definitely be coming back. So glad to find great places like this!!

I never heard of this place before. My husband brought me here. We decided to try it out and now is one of my favorite Mexican Restaurant around Baton Rouge. We have quite too many but not all of them have flavorful food. Modesto food is delicious.

This was my first time back at Modesto in probably a year or so and I'll definitely come back. The service was great and the tacos were SO good. I got the carne asada which was spicier than I thought it would be but super flavorful. And I also got the Baja fish which was super crispy and I might have to get two of next time :)

I judge a good Mexican restaurant by two things: Chips & Salsa and a house Margarita. Modesto knocked it out of the park! Not only that, but they have alternative sides that most Mexican restaurants don't. I was pleased with a ceaser salad with my pork and beef tacos. If you are near LSU, this is a must stop! Plus, you never know who you will run into.

These are THE BEST TACOS I have had since leaving Texas last year. I had the brisket birria served with Au jus and grilled shrimp tacos with an order of the elotes. It was beautifully presented and tasted even better. The salsa served with the chips was very tasty as well. (And the salsa will make or break a restaurant for me). I will be back.

This is hands down my favorite Mexican spot in Baton Rouge. I am not a big Tex-mex fan so the motto "mas mex less Tex" drew me in. I love the el pastor tacos, street corn, and their chip seasoning. Seriously so good and the deals are great. Get a skinny margarita! Service is always fast. Modesto's takeout is great quality too. The patio is so nice on a summer evening.

(Google, you are killing me, I need plenty more stars)
It is of Spanish and Latin origin, and the meaning of Modesto is "modest, moderate, humble."
But if we are speaking Spanish,
"¡Excelente comida, excelente servicio, y un ambiente vibrante!"
I enjoyed my time here with family and was glad to indulge in my favorite foods, Mexican, authentic, so to speak. Love you, Reggie & Courtney. Say hello and give thanks to my favorite cousins who suggested this establishment!!
The atmosphere was what I call "all-around!" It was family and kid-friendly. There was a spacious patio, and if you were double-dating like us, there is a romantic feel as well. Thank you for the large television. My husband seems to need one everywhere we go. It was viewable from most angles. In a nutshell, we were very comfortable.
It was my first time having the green rice, which was flavorful and moist. Noted it is now a favorite to add to any dish next time. Yes, there will be a next time. The entire plate was like no other, and I almost forgot to take a photo because when it all arrived, you could smell freshness.
Take your time with the menu. Everything was so appealing, I was undecided; however, I just picked a dish.
Hooray for the chips and salsa. No, it was not canned tomato sauce, tasting as if it were made to order, which felt tableside, I swear!
The queso dip was another hit. Gotta be careful with that savory goodness. Paired with the salsa and warm chips; pinch yourself because it was heaven. You may not be able to finish your entree if you keep this up.
The service was unbelievably grand due to the high number of customers. They were on it!
There is nothing to complain about there. As a matter of fact, NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF AT ALL!
When it comes to margaritas, better ask someone else, I never have an issue in this field! Yet again, margaritas win. They were well-balanced with the tequilla and margarita mix, salt perfectly around the rim to accent the glass. As usual, the only thing that is ever missing in my margaritas anywhere is a SCORPION 🦂 🤭.
See you soon, guys!!

Absolute fantastic experience; the ambiance was incredible with live music on Wednesday night. The drinks didn't disappoint, and the food kept me wishing I could eat past my capacity.
