El Epazote - Hollister

We stopped for lunch and it was apleasant surprise! The food was Great. We had conversations with the kind and humble owner. We will definitely return to try more dishes from the menu.

This Mexican food gem is tucked away by the train tracks in an industrial area across from the fire station. The warm and home made chips and salsa were a great start. The food was fantastic, served hot, and with friendly service. I tried the green enchiladas with rice and beans and the flavor was just right. Just a bit on the spicy side. Not complaining just warning the weak mouths out there. The wife had the garnachas, a tortilla topped with loads of yummy food in your choice of green or red sauce. She said the red is not as spicy as the green. The owner told us that he's been in business for over ten years. The quality and wonderful taste confirms it. This was our second visit and sure to return for more. Update: Third visit. Tried the super burrito with carne asada topped with red sauce and cheese. OMG, it's huge. I added a photo. Great flavor as usual. The usual beans are black and the rice is usually mushy. I like it that way although it deviates from the standard beans at other Mexican places. Update: Fourth visit had the bistec rojo. Thin cut pieces of steak with slightly spicy red sauce and potatoes served with rice and beans. Very delicious!

Freshly made in house. They have the absolute best food and good prices. Super friendly. I'd eat here every day if I could.

Dropped in for dinner....it was great!! They only accept cash....small inconvenience...it's a one man show...the owner...Antonio....was the server and went out of his way to get us what ever we needed. He actually made 3 different salsas for us till we found one we like. I ordered a chili relleno...it was perfect...just like my mom would make me. The black refried beans were also very delicious...and I never used to like them. The wife had cheese enchiladas...very tasty. And best of all?.....iced mugs for the beer!!! Antonio was very gracious. We talked for awhile. We will definitely come again!

Went there for lunch. The website said it was open, the sign in the window was lit up open, but the door were locked. There was an employee inside so we knocked to ask if we could go in. He had a very aggressive demeanor and told us they were closed. We told him that the sign said open , then he yelled at us saying we are closed and I 'm not going to open because I 'll do whatever I want! , then slammed the door in our faces.Needless to say, We are NEVER going there again.I would advise anyone not to go there.
