El Epazote - Hollister

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!

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.

Gentlemen who work there open the door right as we got there and right away asked if we had cash . Then asked if we were eating there or to go and didn’t want us coming in if we were ordering to go . Definitely not how to greet or treat your customers sir and definitely will not be going back ever !

First time trying the food. Over all the experience and food is a 5 but the food varied for us:huevos rancheros 3* it had a tomato sauce that I didn't likeBlack beans 5* we don't normally like black bans but these were yummy!Rice 3* needed more FlavorTacos de asada 4*Al pastor 4*Menudo 5* (so far the best menudo in Hollister for us).The man who took the order was super nice. Oh they only accept cash. We will be back!
