You're here for the good food and mom n pop vibes. Nowadays, it's less common to get a hearty…read moredelicious meal for less than $20... but here at Xochimilco, I can always count on that every time! I've been coming here with my friend after the Lodi festival for years before we make our drive. Their free appetizer of chips n salsa and gravy was a delicious start, my friend always looking forward to the chips made from their flour tortillas. I like how hearty of a chip it is, but my personal preference is for something a little thinner. Their tortillas are made in fresh house with a giant machine. Service here is like a grandma making sure you've eaten, but a little short - everything will come and your drinks will always remain filled though. Each time, I've always gotten a wet burrito (red sauce) and I'd get a packed hunk of a burrito. This year was the first time I notice pozole and I had to give it a try. I'm not the biggest fan of pork in soup, but I do love everything else about the soup. When my soup arrived, I was surprised it also came with a huge side of beans and rice... I was excited as I was considering ordering a side of rice since it smelled so good from my friend's plate. For the soup, it's light and hearty at the same time - full of flavor. The pork... I was very surprised how tender the meat was and there was plenty in my soup among the hominy. This was a super satisfying meal and I had enough leftovers for another when I get home! Final Thoughts: Great prices, generous portions and delicious foods! I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone asking for recs in the area. I do wish I could've taken my late uncle here for lunch... I'm sure he would've enjoyed it.

Stopped by Fondita after a recommendation from my cousin and he delivered! Let's get into it…read more.. Ambiance - Fondita is a smallish restaurant, but can still cater to groups big or small. The maximum occupancy is 49 people, but it felt roomier inside than that. The decor is okay and the place seemed clean overall. Service - Service was pretty good. Our server was very friendly, and service wasn't bad. The only blemish was she did not check in on refills very frequently. I managed to get one, but my wife did not. By the time she asked again, we had finished our meal and were ready to go. A pretty small blemish, and not a dealbreaker for us. Food - The food was outstanding. My wife got the fajitas and they looked great! She loved them. I got the alambres and they were fantastic. Add in the homemade tortillas (both flour and corn) and it's an easy five stars! Their rice, beans, and salsa were all good too. No complaints at all with the food. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. The food was great, the people were super friendly and welcoming, and we were able to get a table right away. It's very close to the freeway, so when coming from out of town it's an easy on/off too. Great spot!

The restaurant is small and not in the greatest location, but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back! The tortilla chips are a mix of corn and flour, which was a nice surprise. Literally everything we ordered was so good! I went with the build-your-own combo plate and chose a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and beef flautas. My entire plate was delicious, including the rice and beans. The homemade tortillas were so fresh and tasty. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their food. We split the three-piece quesabirria tacos, and they were excellent. I chose the gravy cheese enchilada for my combo plate, but I also tried my partner's green chili chicken enchilada--both were great. You can choose between red, green, or gravy sauce for the enchiladas, and I definitely want to try the red next time. Don't be turned off by the unassuming storefront and corner location. This place is serving up some seriously delicious food, and it's absolutely worth the visit!

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and great service, La Doña Taqueria is absolutely…read moreworth a visit. We came during the lunch rush, and the line was literally out the door the entire time we were there. Despite being busy, the all-female staff was amazing. Every person we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like we were the only customers in the restaurant. That's not easy to do when you're serving a packed house. Some reviews mentioned a 15-20 minute wait for food, but honestly, that's impressive for a busy restaurant making fresh food during peak lunch hours. We'd much rather wait a few extra minutes for quality food than be served something rushed. The highlight of our meal was the sopa de fideo. Instead of the typical chips and salsa that most Mexican restaurants serve, they bring out a warm bowl of sopa de fideo, and it was hands down the best part of our meal. It felt homemade, comforting, and set them apart from every other Mexican restaurant in the area. Their SALSAS 10 out 10. The food itself was delicious, flavorful, and well worth the price. As for not having guacamole--have you seen avocado prices lately? That certainly didn't take away from our experience. It also seems that many of the negative reviews came shortly after opening. Anyone who has ever been involved in running a business knows that opening a new restaurant comes with a learning curve. There is always some trial and error while staff, processes, and operations find their rhythm. From what we experienced, it appears La Doña has listened to feedback, made adjustments, and worked through many of the issues that were mentioned in those early reviews. Between the outstanding service, unique touches like the sopa de fideo, and food that keeps you wanting to come back, La Doña Taqueria earned every one of these five stars. The restaurant was packed for a reason, and after eating there, it's easy to see why. We will definitely be returning!

La Dona was introduced to me by a friend who is a regular patron to their Tracy restaurant. Since…read morethe opening of this location (2026), I've have tried it once a month and here is my experience. - Service are sometime slow. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to receive your food during the lunch time rush. - One time, I've walked in to order and the front desk person ignored me for 5 minutes because she was busy filling orders. - I've also done an online order for pick-up and stood at the pick up desk for several minutes. I was not helped until I flagged down a server. - I was excited about their Taco Tuesday special but the meat (pollo) are dry. - Prices are okay for this location. Lot's of other options in the area with similar dishes. I'll stop by one more time to see.

Fui a probar José,s Birriería en Stockton porque la anuncian como "la mejor birria", pero…read moresinceramente me decepcionó bastante. El sabor no tiene nada que ver con una verdadera birria tatemada de res. Yo vengo de un lugar donde la birria original es muy conocida, así que sé perfectamente cómo debería saber una buena birria de res, y esta estuvo muy lejos de eso. Además, la mesera me preguntó si quería nervio y le dije claramente que no, pero aun así me pusieron bastante en el plato. También noté que los precios de la carta no coinciden con lo que te cobran al final. Me agregaron algo llamado "mixto" sin explicarme qué era ni preguntar si lo quería y fue un cobro extra  Y para acabarla, una Coca-Cola de lata en $4 dólares... demasiado caro. Lo único rescatable fueron las tortillas hechas a mano, esas sí estaban muy buenas. Pero fuera de eso, no fue una buena experiencia.
