Good food, group of 14 seated quickly, lots of menu and drink options. There was also a nice lunch special going on listed on the menu. I enjoyed my pork flauta, the plate was delicious. The waiters were nice, had a funny encounter getting a plate back that someone wanted after the waiter walked away. Parking was a bit difficult (Sunday afternoon) but just parked on the side of the road. read more

Don Luis Mexican Restaurant in Stockton is a go-to! I ordered their michelada and it came loaded with shrimp and even a shot--such a game changer. Hands down the best michelada for a hangover. Menudo is really good here too! Definitely coming back! Servers are really nice and attentive here. read more

Stopped by here on the way to purchase a car 6+ years ago, and their food was okay, nothing crazy and was fairly decent spot for the area. They were fast to seat, and interior is cute, and the food was decent for the location. read more

We stopped in for a friend lunch with three of us. The parking lot was FULL, like we had to do some laps and eventually parked on the street, which is not ideal since traffic kind of zooms by here. The inside is much bigger than you'd expect and considering how packed the parking lot was, there was plenty of space for more guests inside. We sat in the covered outdoor area in the back and were helped by their friendly team right away. We got some sodas and horchata to start- the horchata was delicious. They bright chips and salsa with the drinks and then we placed our food orders. I ended up getting a torta, which came with fries and it was much bigger than I expected. The flavors were great, and they use fresh Genova bread. Our food mostly came out at the same time, but we had ordered a side of gravy and fresh tortillas that ended up coming a bit later. By the time these came I was full from half my torta and ended up getting a box. We all really enjoyed our food though. The team here checked on us often and were friendly. They also let us hang out and talk for awhile, even after our check was paid. There were plenty of other tables still available, so we took our time while we caught up. Definitely would come back again. read more

We literally just left this place, got up and walked out!! Last time, Mother's Day, we came here and the lady server was so rude!! Then this time the guy greeted us very nicely, gave us chips, salsa and menus. A great start. He dropped off our drinks and the never came back!! My son loves chocolate milk and the milk he got was SOUR!! We gave the guy chances to come back to us, but he didn't. The table of two guys that came in about 20 minutes after us were served bar drinks and their orders were taken and we still didn't get anymore service. Nope, I'm done. read more

Don Luis is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for asada tacos and pozole! When we first moved to Stockton this was the second Mexican restaurant I tried for take out. I always call ahead. Never ate inside but have been inside to pick up my order. Lot is big, plenty of parking space. Inside is decent, lots of tables, decorations. Definitely authentic Mexican vibes inside. Pozole is always hittin! I ask for extra cabbage, lemons and radish. It's never an issue! Asada tacos are huge portions! Staff is always friendly! Slightly on the expensive side but all outdoor food is pricey these days. read more

I ordered a side of guacamole for $5.38 and I got a 2 oz cup. I went back in and they told me that was correct. I told them that this can't possibly be right and they said, "it's one scoop." No wonder they don't indicate the size on the menu. After politely arguing my point they did give me another 2 oz cup - it's printed on the bottom of the cup, "2 oz." So disappointing and yet their food is good. I'm still offended. read more

You have GOT to be shitting me! $20 margaritas with literally zero tequila, and zero fresh lime juice, ok I can get thru it. $4.89 for a coke? A party of 4 with zero seafood, 1 of which was a child , 2 margaritas.. $167!!?!?! Then have the audacity to charge an extra .50 for a box to go?! This place is a fucking clown show, where the server will go out of his way for nothing. Left with empty drinks, and drops a bill 4 bites into your dinner. Just unreal. To be fair the food was actually pretty tasty, I'm not into putting lies on these reviews at all, but easily double the price of other Mexican restaurants in the area with the same quality. I hick I will be going to next time for sure and saving $75 . Repeated business is the cornerstone for restaurants. I won't be back.. read more

okay let's get right into it. cheese gravy was good. i get cheese gravy at every mexican spot that has it and this among the better ones. the salsa was mid. no spice to it and not super flavorful. the alambre was really really good. packed with flavor and perfect balance of ingredients. the beans and rice remind me of tio pepe which i love. super nostalgic. good flavor and rich without being too rich. th chilaquiles had too much cheese for me and not enough sauce. not the worst but not the best. they put tomatoes on the chilaquiles which gives them a bit of sweetness that i wasn't a fan of. my mom also got the chilaquiles but with scrambled eggs and hers weren't nearly as cheesy. may not have even had any, but she liked them nonetheless. two others got chicken tacos and we also got flautas. they all enjoyed their dishes. my dad is picky about his chicken tacos and was surprised when he actually enjoyed these. a little bit of lettuce overload on the plate though. the person who got flautas also really liked his dish too. the homemade tortillas were good too. we got chicken tenders for the baby and they were so overcooked. the outside was super crispy she couldn't even eat them. the inside was super dry. not good. the fries were plain and not even really warm when they were brought out. also go a big mamacita margarita for $26 and it was so watered down. it was so big that you should have at least felt a buzz from it if not more. felt absolutely nothing. the alambre honestly was so good that it's bringing the score up slightly. the staff was friendly and attentive. food took a while to come out, but i don't mind that if it means my food is being made fresh. after 20% tip, the meal wasn't just under $200 for 6 adults and a child. i feel like that's not a bad price point. read more

I honestly don't know how this place is still running the way it is. The service at Don Luis is terrible. The staff acts like you're an inconvenience just for walking in. They're short, dismissive, and make no effort to be welcoming. Communication is minimal -- no checking in, no refilling drinks, no basic courtesy. The overall vibe is just off, like nobody wants to be there, including the employees. It's been like this for a while too -- it's clear nothing has improved in the past year despite many people pointing it out. The restaurant seriously needs to retrain their staff (or hire people who actually want to work). I'm clearly not the only one who feels this way. Save your time and money -- there are much better places in Stockton that actually appreciate their customers. read more

And another five. Despite being packed beyond belief on a Friday night, they were quick and accommodating. Most importantly...delicious! Ordered same meals as we did last review and they were great. Love the updated booths and tables. Looks great. Our server Junior was very attentive and everything he did was done with urgency. Which is greatly appreciated when everyone's time is so precious. Thanks for not disappointing! read more

OMG where do I begin? I have never been here and the food is absolutely amazing. The margaritas are just as good. Get a tall and you will feel it all night long. This is our New Mexican restaurant for sure. Our server Jr. was so friendly and knowledgeable as well. Ask to sit in his section and you will have a great experience. read more

Wow! The food is AMAZING! I had the chicken fajitas and my husband had the Luis favorite and we both loved every bite! SO MUCH FOOD! Now let's talk about the fabulous margaritas! When I ordered the tall I didn't expect the size of a fish bowl (LOL!) but it was so good and you'll only need to order one! Service was fantastic! Junior was our waiter and he was great! I've lived in Stockton over 41 years and I can't believe this was my first time eating here! I will definitely be back and I'll be talking about this place! read more

Great Menudo fresh flour tortillas Caldo de Siete Mari great chili Verde atmosphere and ambience. Wonderful service excellent

Been here twice in the last month and both times service was great and food was delicious. Ambiance is very laid back. Price was expensive for the area but the amount of food you get as well as quality is well worth the price. Each time I have gone, I got a combo plate and it comes with enough food for three meals. They do not skimp out on the meat. Only disappointment is the first time we went, when they gave us tortillas, half of it was homemade and the other half was store bought. The second time we went it was all store bought. When we asked for homemade they said they ran out which was weird to me because don't they make the tortillas in house? We tried all the different combinations and all of them were tasty. If I am ever in the area, definitely my go to Mexican restaurant! read more

We were charged $42 for 2 burritos with guacamole. The burritos was literally all beans, a little bit of meat and cheese with a smidgen of guacamole. A total waste of money. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and was able to find a table for three right away even though it was pretty busy. Got lucky. Ordered the bean dip to go with the chips and salsa and it was so good. Nice and cheesy and salty. We all ordered Luis' Favorites and it was so much food and so flavorful! It came with a taco, enchilada, Chile relleno, and steak ranchero with rice and beans. Ended up taking half home for later. We also asked for some fresh tortillas on the side and they were so soft and fluffy. Would come back to try the same thing again. My cousin got a paloma and it was huge! It came out to $94 before tip. read more

I went here for lunch today and thought it was pretty mid. I got the chile verde plate and it wasn't bad just didn't have much flavor in my opinion. I do tend to have high expectations for Mexican food since my family makes really good food but I feel like it is so hard to find a good Mexican restaurant in Stockton. They are all very similar to me for some reason but I will say like nenas and arroyos as an example they make damn good homemade flour tortillas. The staff I will say was super nice and attentive just the food is a huge factor for me and how it tastes. read more

In a state like California where truly excellent Mexican food can be found, this is not the place. It's like going to the relatives house who really isn't much of a cook, but it's edible; especially if you happen to be especially hungry. It's really unfortunate that they aren't better because their location is convenient. Staff is very nice. read more

We had to get our own napkins. My son waited for 15 minutes for his flour tortillas. We were never asked if we needed a refill on our drinks. I was so disappointed in my soup. It had so much oregano in it. That was all you tasted. Came from out of town to eat there. So so disappointing read more

Went there for date night and absolutely loved their chicken tacos. Very good taste and food was authentic. I'll definitely be back.

This is my second visit here. The first visit was an accidental find due to car trouble. They are right off of Highway 99 in Stockton, so very easy to get to and from. The food is pretty good. Portions are larger than what I had expected. I ordered the Three Amigos Fajitas, not realizing that it's enough to feed 2 to 3 people easily. I had to tap out and couldn't finish. Felt like I ate 3 massive burritos. Fajitas consisted of tomatoes, onions, zucchini, steak, chicken, and shrimp, as well as the side items and homemade tortillas, which were fantastic! My wife had the chicken flauta dinner. She really enjoyed it so much she actually finished her meal. The downside was that the wait staff didn't check in on us and so we didn't get refills on our waters or iced teas. Upside, the food is good, and come out smelling wonderful and hot. Oh, and the homemade tortillas are fire! read more

Ordered bacon and eggs added tortillas to my order. Hubby ordered machaca. Chips tasted a bit stale. Gravy and cheese was alright. Not the best, not the worst. Their salsa had too much cilantro for me to keep eating. Sadly cilantro tastes like soapy water to me and I can't eat it. Service was good even though they are so busy. The place is packed. Seating inside and outside. Tables are crammed together. My bacon and eggs were pretty good. The bacon wasn't all crispy like I asked. The Hashbrowns were super greasy. The eggs were very good. The machaca was just ok. read more

This restaurant has gone downhill in terms of service, atmosphere and food quality. I used to visit frequently when they first opened and it was amazing and I'm so sad it went downhill. I asked for camarones a la diabla and they were not great. I also asked for two cheese corn quesadillas which was just two tortillas with cheese and was charged $13.50. Such a shame that a great restaurant has not been able to keep up with its quality. read more

Food is good.. Service is SLOW.. Owner saves money by over working staff. Not a good look. Meals are reasonably priced but the drinks OMG they cost as much as the meal!!! A basic simple margarita is $20 and they go even higher than that.. I'd rather spend that kind of money at an establishment that treats their staff good. That would kinda make up for the price . But not when we don't get the service you would expect read more
