Super disappointed with Jorge's today... We used to come here all the time and it was always good. Thats really why I'm giving it two stars instead of one. Tonight it took forever to seat us, service was slow, the margarita was straight mixer. Steak taco was dry, chewy and tasteless. Rice and beans both were dry and tasted like they'd been sitting out for a while. Food and drink gave me a headache and stomach ache. I might give it some time and give it another shot because we really used to come here a lot. Not sure if they changed management or ownership or just a very off night but regardless tonight was trash. read more

Went to this place on a cold evening. The places was warm and welcoming. Tried a few drinks and they were interesting. Presentation was nice too. Spice levels were a little less. But overall good food. read more

We were in the area and were craving Mexican food so we decided to stop here. We got a shrimp cocktail, steak enchiladas, and a breakfast burrito with machaca. The food was all pretty tasty; the steak was cooked just right, and the breakfast burrito was super flavorful. The shrimp cocktail was alright; I thought it was a bit too thick and sweet, to be honest. The service wasn't bad at all, though I did wish they'd checked in with us a tad more often about refills. Overall, the staff was super friendly and great. I'd totally recommend this place, and I'm definitely coming back! read more

Jorge's El Tapatio - Steak & enchiladas (8/10) - Mexican Near Me - Tracy, California

I ordered a super carne asada burrito, wet style, and yes -- this thing is huge. For $14, you definitely get your money's worth in size. However, the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the meat was just not it this time -- very chewy, tough, and overly salty. The burrito overall was on the dry side, too. There was barely any sour cream, and the pico de gallo was minimal, so it didn't really balance things out. I've been coming to Jorge El Tapatio for years -- over 20 years living in Tracy, this has always been one of my go-to taquerias. But this review is only for this experience. Maybe it was just an off day, but this particular burrito was really mediocre in flavor. If you do get a super burrito, just know it's going to be massive, but you might want to grab some extra Tapatio or salsa if you're taking it to go. Hopefully next time, it'll be back to the quality I remember. read more

Jorge's El Tapatio - Wet Carne Asada Super Burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Tracy, California

Service great & cute atmosphere. Authentic Mexican cusine with a twist and local families that enjoy Jorge's which i loved. Everyone was super friendly from the staff to the customers :) A tad over the usual price for Mexican dining but they offered a variety of selections which was great. From typical favs to Authentic traditional home mades. I ordered an enchilada that came with a small salad and a side of sour cream. The rice was plain for those who dont like overpowering seasonings & the mole was sweet. This was my first time having sweet mole- comparable to a citrus/ orange taste. Not my preferred mole taste as im used to zesty mole enchilada sauces but it was unique and a good first experience. Portion sizes are big and waitresses were very accommodating. Worth a try if you want unique Mexican cusine. read more

My chicken enchiladas were extremely delicious, the Modelo on tap was nice and cold and the shot of tequila was just what I needed. I don't remember my servers name but she was so sweet and so accommodating! I have used Door Dash for their food plenty of times and the food has always been great. I have only dined in a few times but I really need to more often! And my daughter loved her Carne Asada burrito that I brought home. Thank you to all the friendly staff also! read more

Jorge's El Topatio is a very nice Mexican restaurant in Tracy. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The decor is Hispanic with a large display of rare and uncommon liquor bottles. They have a bar that serves classic cocktails. All food selections we ordered were excellent. One item I wish they would include would be tamales. With great service and delicious Mexican meals, our experience at El Tapatio was wonderful. I would recommend giving El Tapatio a visit for a refreshing adult drink and authentic Mexican meals. read more

There's clearly new ownership here, and unfortunately, the difference shows. Our waitress had an attitude from the start. When I found a hair on my plate and brought it to her attention, she looked at me like, "What do you want me to do?"--no urgency, no accountability. It was uncomfortable and honestly disappointing. She was also very disrespectful to my aunt and her friend. To make matters worse, my aunt's friend--who just happened be there joined us--was automatically charged gratuity. When questioned, the waitress said, "Sorry, but I'm still going to charge you." A manager came over and still stood by that decision, even though we all know it could have been adjusted. Very unfortunate, because I've been coming here for years and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. Even the tortilla chips tasted like they came straight out of a bulk bag from Costco. To the young lady--please don't represent your generation with this level of customer service. And to the manager--don't encourage it, because it showed that this behavior is acceptable. If being a waitress or managing/owning a restaurant isn't for you, that's okay--find something that fits you better. But for those of us who have supported this place for years, this experience was extremely disappointing. Please do better and make the previous owners proud. read more

Unfortunately we definitely got sick after ordering door dash from here! Maybe it was because it was the day after cinco de mayo, but my family got a variety of meals (burrito, fajitas, enchiladas) and one family member was throwing up the next day and all the others had GI problems the entire next two days. Beware :/ read more

Whenever we are in Tracy, we always stop in here. Friday evening dinner was great - shrimp soup and shrimp taco salad. The soup ended up a little spicy (adding jalapenos was the source) but lots of shrimp in the soup. The service here is really friendly. This looks to be the place for larger groups but they take care of the smaller tables as well. read more

We got 2 takeout dinners, chili verde and cheese enchilada, both were excellent. Pork and chili verde sauce were very tasty, the rice and beans also muy bueno. And dark corn chips with plenty of flavor, not the thin, tasteless white corn chips. Guacamole topped it all off. I would buy the same dinners again, and we will. read more

After taking care of taxes and checkin out the farmer's market, we checked out @jorges_el_tapatio_tracy. I asked a local where a good spot was and she gave us a couple of leads to check out in Tracy. We chose Jorge's and glad we did. Spacious spot with great drinks and service! I ordered the Cazuela. It came out in a nicely sized decorative BOWL with ample amounts of tequila, lime, orange, grapefruit, and Squirt. Yezzirr!!! Salsa & chips were bomb, as well as our tasty comida. Service was quick and very friendly. Good spot to check out coming back home from the Bay, the farmer's market, or any time. Shekitout! read more

We had not been here in quite a long time. We arrived early for a Friday night and were seated promptly. We were waited on by a friendly waitress. She took our drink order and brought us chips and salsa. The salsa had a little zing to it, but was not the usual red tomato based salsa. The chips were not the best quality but were crispy. I ordered a Cadillac margarita and the vegetable fajitas. Everything was delicious. The veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. I ate the whole thing! We finished in one hour and walked out to find lots of people waiting to be seated. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food. We would definitely return. read more

Always the food terrific had door dash so can't comment on the the other 2. Best Mexican Restuarant so far in Tracy.

Usually love coming but terrible service today and no one looked happy to be there serving guests

I forgot to do a review my first time going, so I figured that second time's a charm, yeah? * Food: 5/5 I found the food to be really well seasoned -- especially the seafood dishes! I got the filete al ajo, and my partner got the fajitas. All in all, not only did it taste good -- it gave us really wonderful vibes. * Service: 4/5 Minus one star because honestly some of the dishes we got took a long time -- and the tortilla came a little cold. * Atmosphere: 5/5 LOVED the atmosphere. I really like how cultural they made it honestly I'd definitely come again as the servers were nice, and they weren't overly priced for two people to dine there. read more

I came for their Fri night mariachi during Mexican Independence Day weekend. I made a reservation and the mariachi were set-up in the room w/the bar and that's where they stayed for the 2 hours. Food was good. Beans and rice were good. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Luckily there was a birthday going on and the group had booked the mariachi and were requesting all the songs, so it was a treat to hear them play while we dined. It was a 6 member group and they charged $30/song requested. That is quite steep tbh. The server had told us $20 so I'm glad we asked the group first. We requested 2 songs, the first which they did NOT sing, and that was disappointing when you're paying $30 for the song, and the lyrics are beautiful. We didn't think we needed to explicitly ask them to sing it since they were singing every single song for the birthday group. Why would ours be different? For our 2nd song, we asked them to sing it and they did. The group had 2 trumpet players which is always a good sign. But after hearing them play, I'm not sure I would hire them for $800/hr. (minimum 2 hours). The furniture in the room seems outdated. The food is good though. read more

I'm super disappointed in this place. My family and I used to love it here! Unfortunately the last time we got takeout and the meat was just really too salty that we tossed the food away. Well we went back tonight to give it another try and this place failed even worse. One in our party of 6 ordered a shrimp burrito without sour cream inside (the person is allergic to sour cream) and unfortunately the burrito came with sour cream. After bringing it to the attention of the waiter, they had no problem remaking it but they had ran out of el pastor so it had to get switched to another option. After receiving the now shrimp burrito, a hair was on the plate under all the lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. I'm super disappointed in this place for the quality of food and lack of quality in sanitation. Another person in the party got the chile verde and said it wasn't that good. So the reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because the food has consistently been good for quite a long time, but the last two times have been subpar. The hair on the plate was something I couldn't look pass. read more

We came to El Tapatio Tuesday night the 29th for a late dinner following my sons football pictures in Mountain House. They're one of the only restaurants that stays open until 9 pm, almost all the restaurants in Tracy close at 8 pm on weeknights. The food & service both were excellent. I had the Flautas dinner plate, my wife a combo 2 item plate, & my son a burrito. The burrito was huge. It was bigger than most places super burrito's. Their menu is huge, it has countless options on it. We will keep giving El Tapatio our business, especially because they make themselves available when a ton of other places in Tracy don't. read more

OK, first of all let me say I have been to this place many many times and I cannot believe I have not made a review to this point during the warm times I like to come here and get a ceviche cocktail with a couple of tacos and the rest of the year, I'll get a combination plates Everything here has been very good over the years. Service is always great. Ambience is nice and comfortable. I just noticed that I didn't do a review till now so I had to make sure to give them the props for a good job. If you are here try the shrimp and cucumber appetizer. It is great. I will put pictures up next time if you are in the area to check it out read more

Been coming to Jorge's for years. It was one of the first places I tried when I moved to Tracy a few years back and soon became my FAVORITE place to get Pozole! Anytime I'm in the area I always make it a necessity to stop by and pick me up some pozole. That's not all that's good. Their burritos are great. The tacos are flavorful. I recently on Mothers Day had the Camarones A La Diabla. Man they were good! The right amount of spice and flavor! It wasn't bitter like some places. Their rice and beans are authentic Mexican food. I warn you! I did order a Michelada but not to drink.. I just wanted the shrimps and cucumber and Tajin they put around the rim and I made my mom drink mine and hers. BUT.. to my surprise allll the powder on the shrimp of the Michelada was NOT Tajin it was some spicy ass cayenne or chili powder that they put on the fruta you get from the elote man. So I nearly died when I put that one shrimp in my mouth. I couldn't cook myself down for almost 15 mins! I like spicy foods and sauces but that powder fu*ked me up bad. I couldn't even enjoy my food the way I wanted so I took most of it home and just filled up on tortilla chips. The waitress are nice and check on you frequently which is appreciated. The place itself is really big. Lots of tables and booths. I'd be back and I recommend to anyone in the area looking for great authentic Mexican food. read more

Add to your list of staples A good place to come when you don't know where else to go, frozen margs always hit. Chips, salsa, and decent food at a decent price. If you want a step up from Applebee's, chilis, BWW El Tap is a great choice. Also if you like spicy seafood the a la Diabla are really good! read more

Bad experience at this restaurant, the food was watered down horrible and so was the service. The unforgiving broke manager/owner was quick to charge my card after a small complain about their fried fish. No appologies, or we'll try better next time, she just approached our table with a frown and said it is what it is. Please don't waste your money here, Taco Bell taste better. read more

Again. Son c'mon. Seriously.. you've gotta give this place a break so you can miss is a bit. lol. But sits on. I get it. They are pretty good. Ambiance is amazing. Really gives you the Latin vibe and feels as if you're a bit transported to Mexico for a traditional Hispanic meal. Staff is phenomenal and very helpful with ordering and informing us on what they'd suggest based on our likes. Food is for sure flavorful. Kinda reminiscent of a abuela in the outside kitchen singing and dancing as she beats the dough and stuff. lol see that picture I painted in your brain there lol . My son true to who he is ordered an huge steak burrito and rice. He's simple yet picky. Easy date kinda guy. lol. Myself I got the Diablo shrimp with an extra side of the Spanish rice and salsa, my daughter got just a side of Spanish rice. Lol go figure. She's usually my foodie bae. My wife got a steak and bacon street tacos. I forgot the actual name.. ‍ I Know I know I'm sorry. Lol. I also had a Al Pastor crispy taco. YUMZ!! And a tequila sunrise. Purely for the vibes lol. All and all. Great place. Good food and even better people. I highly recommend you visit once at the very least if ever you're in the Tracy ca area. read more

Stopped here on the way to the central valley; picked it because it was a locally owned spot, and we felt like some Mexican food. Number one good sign that this was a great place: a police car in the parking lot! First, excellent service. We were seated promptly, even though it was the noon hour. This place looks small, but is deceptive: it's very large and has spacious seating for a number of people. It has a full bar. They have all kinds of items on the menus from appetizers, to specialty dishes, tacos, enchiladas, Seafood, seafood cocktails, chicken dishes, and the normal combination dishes of tacos, enchiladas, Chille rellenos, etc. I chose tacos Al Pastor. It's one of my favorites. They did also have enchiladas de Molé also another favorite. I'm so glad I chose the tacos Al Pastor. Hands-down, Jorge's receives my number one in California vote for tacos Al Pastor. I have tried tacos Al Pastor, at every Mexican place across the state that I have dined in and this place wins my top vote. They were absolutely delicious and succulent. First, they do not serve the tacos on the tiny small Tortillas that you get on street tacos. They were regular size dinner tacos about 6 inches in diameter. The meat was absolutely deliciously well seasoned. The menu describes them as being seasoned with marinated with chilies, pineapple, herbs, and spices. Well, whatever they're doing it's absolutely magical. It is fantastic and succulent, rich tasting. Of course they are topped with the requisite, cilantro, onions And some hot salsa. Note here the salsa which they serve with the chips at the beginning of the meal as a starter is very hot. I usually enjoy a fairly hot salsa, but this is no salsa for the faint hearted. It is not a mild red salsa that you might normally get. It definitely packs a punch, so just be mindful of that. My companion Had a green chili Verde or just a green enchilada with shredded beef that he said was absolutely delicious. I know it was delicious because he vacuumed up his dish more quickly than I did. And he usually talks all through the meal and is the last to finish, any dish! I wish I could've tried five other dishes like Pollo and Molé, poblano, or one of the fish dishes or a soup, but unfortunately, one only has so much room in one's tummy. If you get to Tracy on your way to and from the Bay Area and Central Valley, do come through and go to Jorge's El Tapatio on 11th St. It is not too far off of Highway 205 and a quick stop with their fast service, bright and friendly smiles, and not to be missed Mexican food. I did speak to the chef and gave him my compliments too. A really sweet guy who definitely knows his business. Hats off to Jorge's! read more

I used to live in Tracy and this restaurant was my favorite restaurant at all times. I was always going to this Mexican restaurant while I was living in Tracy for over 10 years. I was not a yelper back then. Two years later, I was visiting friends in Tracy for business and I went there for lunch. Omg!!!!!! Nothing has changed last time I was there. Great hosting, serving and food. If you are seafood lovers like me, I highly suggest you to order 7 seafood soup. This restaurant uses best of the best ingredients. You will see king crabs, prawns, scallops, octopus, fish, squids,mussels and big shell clams. I couldn't finish my soup. The broth was un describable and exquisite. This restaurant is huge inside and very authentic, also upscale atmosphere. I always have great service every time I go there. I assume the chef is still the same as 5-10 years. Their quality of food is the best in Tracy town. read more

Service here was great. Everyone that came by our table was nice and friendly. The music was playing at a good volume. Our waitress was quick and efficient. One complaint though is that our waitress brought everyone's food out except for one person's, then told her that they no longer had clams for her seafood cocktail. So, everyone had their food in front of them except for one person and we probably finished at least 1/3 of our entrees when the seafood cocktail came out. Other than that, we all enjoyed our food and had a good time. The chicken wings were so good that I almost wanted to order more. read more

Have been here twice now and they do not disappoint. Great service and delicious food. Nice size portions.
