1 Star. Cold food. Surly service. Payment card acceptance problems. And berating employees in front of customers is never acceptable. The parking lot is full because the locals want to support local businesses but the food isn't all that. If you've lived in the Pacific time zone and experienced higher quality Mexican dishes you'll stop here with moderate hope and leave with high regret. I don't give 1 Star reviews without thought as they do have an impact. This 1 Star only review is earned. read more

Love this place, Service is outstanding, good food, tasty margaritas and has a great atmosphere!! We always have to bring Family and Friends here when they visit! read more

Wr had the beef fajitas and the Taco Sauve special. The Taco Sauve was requested spicy. I was told that spicy was really hot, I should go with medium and so, I agreed. There was absolutely no flavor, let alone spice. I had both kinds beef snd chicken, no flavor difference. The fajitas were the same...bland. the refried beans and fried rice are some of worse we have had. Service was different. The waitress was constantly asking for confirmation for herself, she wasn't asking what we needed, but what we thought of her. My recommendation is that with all the Mexican restaurants in the area, go anywhere else. read more

I wonder what happened between the earlier four and five star reviews and my visit? Enriques was only minimally satisfying for lunch. The Mexican steak platter (Bistek a la Mexicana) was a thin piece of beef that looked and tasted pan fried. It was topped with a chopped onion and tomato salsa overly seasoned with black pepper, lime, and salt. Refried beans were also heavily salted. As was the dry Spanish rice. Every salty bite sent me to my drink. A garnish of avocado slices looked unappealing and as if they'd been sitting out a while. The highlights of the meal were the complementary light, crispy chips and the fresh salsa with lots of cilantro. read more

Our family has enjoyed eating here for the last 13 years. We live out of country and find ourselves craving their food constantly! The owner is pleasant and always takes time to check in on his guests ensuring they are pleased with their dining experience. On our last visit, we were thrilled to see a revamped seating area adorned with stunning paintings. It's like dining in an art gallery, but with way better snacks. The new ambiance is the cherry on top of an already delightful experience. Wish we didn't have to wait a year before getting to eat there again as we are craving it already! read more

every time we visit our family in Stockton we make sure to stop at Enrique's the staff & owners are amazing. best part... it's family owned & operated with AUTHENTIC cuisine. the restaurant itself is clean with great music! read more

Food is so good, it's very flavorful and filling. We've had great service. My son enjoyed his food, too. read more

The food is okay, they are usually busy which means the service is slow. And I have ordered ahead for takeout and still wait. read more

they have fabulous food and great people !!! the prices are affordable for anyone. i highly recommend them

I live in a large city and am visiting family in Stockton. Every time I visit we look forward to eating together at Enrique's. They put a lot of time and focus on the quality of their dishes, more than I had ever seen in all the restaurants in the big city. This place is definitely worth the drive, and the staff is fantastic! read more

Food was delicious. Had the chicken burrito with queso sauce, soo good! Staff was friendly and helpful. Our server was very attentive and fun to talk with. read more

For the area one of your bests bets for good food at good prices. Very consistent, servers are very nice and owner occasionally makes rounds to check on patrons read more

We were in town for a long weekend and too tired to do anything but order take out. I was a little nervous after reading the reviews but I'm glad we ignored them. The young man at the front was very helpful while we ordered. Even offered a suggestion for me and it was spot on. The food was hot and tasty. Big portions for the price. read more

I stopped here because Mexican food is a nice change from midwestern greasy fried food. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and prepared perfectly. I eat a lot of Mexican food and this place is good. I had the Carnitas with a side of the special habanero salsa. Delicious! I look forward to coming back next time I am in town. read more

Place is in desperate need of some TLC. Table cloths are ripped, creaky ceiling fans, floors are hazy and stained. We almost walked out but had some time to kill so we gave it a shot. It was early afternoon so the 3 of us ordered a few appetizers. When we asked for small plates to share the appetizers we were told they would be $1 extra per plate. Uuuuh...ooook. Food was bland and no alcohol...what?! No margaritas or Coronas with my meal?! This place is sooo sad :( Service was good though. Waitress was nice and polite (only positive). read more

The best Mexican food I've had in a long long time! Great service, amazing prices, and left full!!! I must.make room for dessert next time!

Amazing! They easily and efficiently handled our large family party. The food was wonderful: lots of variety; nice portions; good quality; and tastily spiced. Highly recommended! Yelp map shows the restaurant too far to the north. It actually was just south of the Hwy RB intersection on Hwy 39. read more

I was a bit leery about coming here, having read the reviews about tattered tablecloths and whatnot. Rest assured, the place is spotless! I grew up in LA and consider myself something of a Mexican food snob, and my carnitas platter was as good as anything I ever had there. My table mate's taco salad was delicious as well. You won't be able to wash your meal down with a cold beer--they don't serve alcohol--but you won't be disappointed by the food, the friendly service and the ambiance. read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant with authentic roots. Especially for a small town. The food is really good. Try the potato chorizo soup. The best I ever had. Excellent service can sometimes be a challenge when they are very busy but the staff is always very friendly. It always exceeds my expectations for a town so small. read more

This place was really good! I would definitely go here again! The service was awesome and our waitress was very kind and accommodating. The garlic shrimp tacos were our families favorite! read more

Awesome food and service! We ordered takeout on Saturday and even tho they were busy they got our order to go for us. Gave us a drink for our wait which I really didn't feel was that long. read more

Great but other Mexican places are so much better but in Stockton this is the only Mexican restaurant so it is the best of Stockton for Mexican and they have good service read more

Best Mexican Food in the area! Also great food and service. Their chips and salsa are so good! One of Stockton's finest restaurants. Enrique always makes sure his customers are taken care of. They live and take every good care of their customers. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Amazing food and service! Enrique's a really awesome guy and can often be seen chatting with customers and even bringing out plates or drinks on occasion. My kids love the beans and my 7 year old says they have "the best burrito I ever had in my life"! Definitely the place to eat if you're in town read more

The food was soooo nasty that I had to get a burger from sonic on my way home the floors were so sticky my shoes came right off

Our meal here was overall, extremely good. The décor was very nice, which made it even weirder to see very oddly stripped, burned, or otherwise ratty tablecloths on all of the tables in view. Everything else was so clean, that was a very weird sight. I'd imagine it would be a minimal expense to replace the table coverings! But I digress...the meal was awesome. Enrique's has one of the best chile rellenos I've had to date, and my husband's smothered burrito had above average queso on it, with actual flavor. The beans and rice met our expectations, and pricing was average (acceptably so). Good chips, too. For a restaurant we had never heard of or visited before, in a very small town in the off season of Stockton Lake, this was a nice surprise. read more

Have eaten here several times. Love all the different salsas. You can pretty much create your own dish. Service is good. Clean. Will go back when i can read more

Enrique's is my favorite local restaurant here in Stockton. Service is always good, food good, and contrary to other reviews it is clean.

Enrique is one of the most genuine people I've met who takes his food and the impact of what the experience he provides to heart. I've seen him stay long after his staff has went home to clean and sanitize his immaculate kitchen. His Mothers recipes infused with his own vision and compassion for his community is inspiring. Will always spread the word about this restaurant!! read more

Enrique oversees every aspect of the restaurant. The dishes he makes are from his mother's kitchen. Enrique uses only fresh ingredients and all of them made onsite. Enrique frequently visits with customer's. Until Enrique's came to the area, I made my own Mexican food, but Enrique's Chili Rellenos are exactly as they should be! Portions tend to be generous. Flavors are excellent and he keeps his prices low. read more

I was shocked to find such a great restaurant in this small town. Enrique and his wife make an amazing Chile Relano!!! Plus the service is always great!!! read more

Unauthentic, boring Mexican food. I'm by no means hispanic, but even I could make better Mexican food-and I have. The chips, boring. The salsa is watery, not spicy, and pretty much exactly what you'd picture in the middle of Missouri. The rice was very dry. Not much else can be said for the rest. On another note, their service was pretty friendly. Indoor decor leaves much to be desired. It looks like a diner was decorated with thrift-store interpretations of Mexico. read more

This must have changed hands in the last few years. My husband was hit 3-4 times by the door that goes into additional dining space by employees. We ordered full fajitas and there must have been a short on vegetables because I would hate to see what a half order looked like. We were told that you get 1 refill on your salsa (for the traditional chips and salsa), then you will be charged. The child's taco was burned and without the lettuce we asked for. My husbands food came out about 8 minutes after our children and my food. No extra napkins (we have a 4 year old), had to keep asking for refills, and with locals gossiping over everyone's conversations, you really feel out of place. In my opinion, drive to Nevada, mo and eat at the Mexican restaurant on the square. It's so much better and not overpriced for what you get. I won't take my family back there. It was not a nice family dining experience at all. read more

Good food in a good atmosphere at reasonable prices. Seems they are a bit overwhelmed by any large group, though. We had six in our party and had to wait quite some time to be seated. Wait staff is very attentive. We would eat here again. read more
