A Stockton staple!! Burritos and tamales are freak'n bomb. I was never a big fan of bean and cheese burritos until I came to El Dorado. Now it's really the only thing I get. Sometimes I get bean, cheese and guacamole burritos. So good! I also get bags of tortilla chips here. The ladies are always friendly at the front. Prices are very reasonable as well! read more

Went in Saturday morning to pick up some carne asada, chicken, rice and beans, and tortillas for an impromptu bar-b-q. Not cheap but neither is the product. Delicious it was. Then as I was leaving I forgot the chicharron. Dang it. So I went back and got the chicharron but this time ordered what I had resisted the first time; the green chili pork burrito. One bite into my burrito and all was good and with the world. You must try. I've purchased tamales from here for work functions and they are also delicious and authentic! Everyone there is very kind and professional. A must. read more

Very nice deli and excellent food preparation especial with chili verde and chili colorado in volume.

Good food tamales are moist and fresh and meaty worth the ride across town. Meat market will stock fresh meats, friendly atmosphere menus at the counter service pretty quick in the morning if you want a lot of tamales, you may wanna call. read more

Called an hr ahead and they didn't have anything ready. They said 30 more min when my partner arrived. They could've said that it was going to be a little longer over the phone but FAILED to do that. We would've understood but had my partner wait. 30 more minutes, absurd.... My partner called and I said to ask for other options. Who tf wants a chicken tamales, they had no more beef tamales. Tested my partners patience of waiting that he left and they have the nerve to call back. Never going to this place again. LA VICTORIA is way better on main st. Thought we could take a chance on this place but no. Got tamales quick there at our regular place and was satisfied. A place that actually is prepared for busy days. read more

Best tamales in town. Today I tried the chili relleno for $5 and it was delicious. I never leave without a salsa and seriously need to explore this place more. We also get our masa preparado and the masa is good, too. Love me some el dorado market! Oh, if you want chicken tamales, you better call and order them early. They DO SELL OUT FAST. Photo is 2 tamales (chicken and beef) and a full size dinner plate. I got a dozen for $27.50 read more

Decent prices hot foods & taste good as well. We usually go for their breakfast burritos. Service is quick, there's usually 3-4 cashiers. Calling ahead is recommended they do get packed, but still quick with orders. Love the it's a little market but also does hot foods. Hidden gem! read more

A variety of different Mexican dishes ready to take home. Service with courtesy and friendly and servings are bountiful.

El Dorado Market's roots run deep in the Stockton Business Community. Family and friends have been frequenting this establishment since it first opened. Our kids have gone to school together and parents knew each other. Unless we make our own tamales, tortilla, salsas, menudo etc.. this is our go to place for great eats. Plenty of fine options in Stockton to choose from but you'll never go wrong choosing El Dorado Market. read more

It's been years since I have been here. Went early to avoid large crowds. I ordered some pork and cheese tamales and some pastries. Everything was very good. I will definitely be coming back. I want to try their menudo next. Heads up, The menudo is only made on Saturday and Sunday. Can't wait. read more

Went across town because I heard this place had the best tamales. They were 2.35 dollars each which is a good price but the masa was too hard. Cheese w jalapeño had a roach read more

Ordered pork tamales here and they were delicious! Not sure if we are to request salsa with it or it just doesn't come with it but luckily we bought a container of it before we left. Also shout out to the guy behind the meat counter, he was super helpful with every question I had. read more

My family uses their food a lot for family gatherings. The food is delicious, the pricing is fair. They have catered many of our dinners b

I called a carnitas order all meat for pick up. When I got home I noticed they gave me buche when I asked and paid for all meat (see pictures). I called and told the owner my order was incorrect. She mentioned they have a sign to check your order before you leave (what kind of response is this). She advised to bring the food back to them and I can get a refund or a new order. I get there and they immediately open the bag to check the food (assuming I was lying) and don't even apologize for the inconvenience they caused. Any restaurant would have gave u a refund and made you your order correctly. This place is rude and needs to learn customer service skills. They have lost me as a customer and will share with my friends and family to not come here! read more

Been coming here for years and it's definitely a local favorite service is consistent. The food is good with homemade tortillas they have everything a carniceria could have from butcher meat to pastries to deli cooked food. Order your burritos to the cashier and wait for your order wait time is not so bad. We always order the Chile Colorado with cheese and jalapeños the size is so small and they are skimpy on the meat but the flavor is delicious wish they would do a bigger size burritos. read more

Best beef tamales that we had in awhile .More meat than masa,good flavor and very thick.My batch of 12 were finished in 2 days.Not greasy or musshy.Ate one in car and the tamale did not fall apart after I pulled husk. Have eaten these since we were younger. My grandmother abuelita and mom bought the mask here to make ur homemade ones. Friendly market always packed luckily we call in our order to fill our table with good tamales . read more

Went and got tamales..... i must have ordered masa tamales cus thats all i got .... Hardly any meat or anything else besides masa .... On the other hand burritos have never disappointed there.... Service was good read more

Food was great. Bought chile verde burrito and machaca burrito was fire. Ordered tamales to go and some fresh corn tortilla masa for the house. People are always great with great service. read more

What can you say? This is an oldie but goodie! Everyone in Stockton can testify to the excellent tamales, burritos, and pan dulce. Their little store has many various cultural goods for sale. For the purpose of this review I will be rating only on the tamales, Burritos, and Pan Dulce! First of all let me start off by telling you that the parking here is insufficient and in a sketchy area. The actual parking lot houses approximately 10 cars, but there is plenty of parking across the street. Be careful when you cross this one-way road to get to the El Dorado market as it is a busy street and cars do fly down the street. Now let's talk about the food, I don't know if the tortillas are made fresh there in the shop daily but man these tortillas are amazing! Not the tortillas in the packages that I have in the pictures but the tortillas on the Barito are delicious! The beans inside the burrito are amazing and possibly the best refried beans in Stockton! The burrito is mostly beans however, I ordered asada and there was some in there. Do you take a note how I said some, it is not a lot of meat but it is a lot of beans in these burritos! I added on cheese for $.30 more and I also added in sour cream for $.30 more. There was no rice inside of the burrito it was simply meat and beans and you could have jalapeños, the jalapeños were those out of a can or a jar. But again let me say these beans are delicious and I'm sure that is why people come for the burritos! Burritos I'm giving them a 10 out of 10 So now let's talk about the tamales, I highly advise you to call ahead and order your tamales not ahead had a couple hours but I had a couple of days as this place often sells out of orders for tamales around the holidays. The tamales are absolutely delicious and the perfect blend of masa and meat, they are probably some of the meatiest tamales that I have ever Purchased. They were sold out of chicken tamales so I had to get the pork but it did not disappoint me nor my family. I am giving the tamales a 10 out of 10 So now for that Pan dulce I was talking about, let me start off by saying there was hardly any available by the time I got there at 11:30 AM. However they did have my favorite the gingerbread pigs! The pan dulce I will say is extremely fresh and absolutely made the same day that you buy it. The prices are comparable to other businesses in the area. I'm going to give the pan dulce a 9 only due to the lack of variety available. Overall score 8 (7.6 so rounding up) sure wish Yelp had half stars as this would be a game changer on scoring these places but they don't. Tamales. 10 Burritos. 10 Pan dulce. 9 Parking. 2 Customer service. 7 read more

When an electric chair is my manana, El Dorado's chili verde burrito is my meal the evening before in cell. When you wander in, understand it's a on the South Side. You'll be confused by the ordering. You'll wait. You'll browse some market shelves and wonder about lead and octane. You'll sense what's about to come. But you'll eventually receive something akin to your abuelita's burrito. Simple. Sublime. Elemental in your mind. And order those tamales before hand. Cheese and green chili will be your family favorite, mos def. read more

We go there for chili verde burritos and fresh pre-packed flour tortillas. Place is always busy, but busy is a good thing.

Always a staple! Everybody has their own favorite, this one is mine and my family's for generations. Great tasting refried beans, carnitas, tamales and fresh made tortillas. Check their hours, they close at 6 mostly. read more

It pains me to have to write this but here I go.... I used to come here since I was a child. They always had the best flour tortillas! And their beans were also soooo good! Well, since the past year or so the quality has took a turn for the worse. I even mentioned it to my coworker and she immediately said "yea their tortillas are thick and clumpy now'. So its not just me which was the final nudge I needed to write this. Ever since their tortilla machine was broken, now they have clumpy thick tortillas. This was not the case beforehand. I even came back more than several time just to make sure they weren't having a bad day. Even their beans are watery now. Im so sad that this place that was a holy grail, a staple in my life, has took a turn for the worse. Now I must find a new place that makes flour tortillas and not pita bread . RIP Flour tortillas from El Dorado Market. read more

If you desire the most amazing burrito you can find in Stockton then you've come to the right place. We always call in our order ahead. We've tried a market closer to home and really, there was no comparison and prices were much higher. I always order the chicken burrito and Bob orders the beef, you can even get Colorado style. This burrito weighs in close to a pound stuffed with tender shredded white meat and comes with rice and beans and jalapeños, if you dare. Take home some of their Pico de Gallo and your meal will be complete. I also suggest ordering a pint or quart of pinto beans and rice so you can enjoy some burritos throughout the week! To us ElDorado Market burritos are worth the drive and so reasonably priced compared to what you can get in north Stockton. It's a fun experience just going into the store, lots of bustle. read more

Amazing food always!! Staff is friendly and food always fresh. I highly recommend. walking in smells nice, and very good tamales.

El Dorado Market is making me chunky, lol!!! Seriously though, I have yet to go wrong with anything I've eaten here. The pan dulce is definitely the best in town and I have had my fair share of it from many different markets. I also recently tried the Chile Verde King burrito and it was AMAZEBALLS. It's just meat, rice, beans and jalapenos wrapped up in their amazing flour tortillas-so simple but absolutely delicious! The customer service is always friendly and courteous, the food is awesome and my boy loves the selection of candy...yup, we're big time fans! read more

Most underrated burritos ever. Their beans and tortillas are the best! Definitely recommend

Very cool cozy mexican store with delicious food and a great staple to stockton! especially recommend the chicharron burritos

Usually during the holidays we order a variety of tamales for an annual family event. The pork, beef, and chicken tamales are all delicious. The beef and or the chicken tamales which are my favorites, but my kids loved the pork. They are all good. If you can get thru on the phone it is best to pre-order your tamales. They also have an other Mexican food items, and basically a Mexican meat market and neighborhood store. In previous visits we have had their burritos and tacos which have all been good. The store was pretty organized and efficient. This year the staff was friendlier than in the past, in fact I would say in the past they were actually grumpy in previous years. Which isn't an excuse but when the line wraps around the block and you've been up all day I get. During the holidays, the security guy out front is great, he has been there for years. He kept things organized in the line and is informative. We go there for the tamales and definitely not here for the service, LOL. Parking lot has limited spaces and street parking is easier but in the winter months kind of dangerous as El Dorado is busy and some drive recklessly. read more

So delicious rice, beans, chile verde, beef and I must say the homemade tortillas are so damn good! I can eat a whole pack with nothing. They have party trays worth it! It's a cute little market, they are known for masa and tamales as well, I saw chicharrones. It was busy this past week when I went. I definitely will be coming back. read more

Too Expensive ! In saying that they take advantage of shoppers. Only grocery store in town so makes sense. The deli is great!

Born and raised in the 209, best tortillas hands down. Are the burritos small? Yes, but who's stopping you from getting 2? Some places are charging $20 for burritos nowadays. The key is to get a bean and cheese and chili verde ANNDDDD a pack of tortillas so you can enjoy them at home. The best is getting home, turning on a fire stove, and adding some butter once it gets charred. I moved to Portland recently and I think about these burritos daily. Truly don't know what you're missing out on until it's gone. read more

Masa has always been good and ready when ordered. Flour tortillas are really good when you can get them, they go fast. Haven't tried anything else here. Did buy a tamale pot here. Not the greatest quality it's pretty thin all around but price was good. $23/24 for a 20qrt pot. Service is good. Get people moving quickly. The inside is small and packed but will have all you need.

Picked up 5 chile verde burritos on a Sunday morning. Called in my order. Waited about 30 min after my promised time. Place is very unorganized. All of us got sick soon after eating the burritos. Never again! read more

Burritos are always full of flavor, meat and a rice and beans. Friendly staff and quick service.
