I was in town and so co-workers recommended me this place for just burritos and tacos. I'm not an expert on Mexican cuisine but I grew up in California and California makes the best Mexican food from everybody perspectives. At first I was skeptical about another burritos and tacos because I pretty sure can wether it good or average. I got me burrito supreme el pastors. Quality of meat was amazing with hint of little spice every bite. I would my fellow stocktonian to come here when there in town.

Carne asada and potatoes

Best place to get my carne asada meat and fish. We come here like every weekend to get our bbq meat and groceries

Tamal "de elote" mas masa que nada

This place used to be my favorite place to buy uchepos corn tamales I used to buy the dozen for $15 now I bought it today and now they are $16 per dozen and you can't even taste the corn because the masa over powers it!!! It's very sad because they're not natural anymore and they went up on price! I took a video of how I want even able to slice it in pieces but not able to post videos on here!!! Very disappointed! That's why people are so fat these days because they add things that they shouldn't! I won't be going back anymore!!!

a piece of cheese

I have never had a problem or a complaint about this place. We do some of our grocery shopping here all the time and we sometimes take some of their corn tamales home because they're so good. This weekend they didn't have the corn tamales so we took the chicken ones they had instead. When we got home and we were about to eat them I noticed some black spots and thought it was part of the dough but we took a closer look and realized the masa was covered in ants and I was disgusted.

My 18-year-old sister and her boyfriend came in to buy a birthday cake, a tres leches, paid for it,…read morereceipt IN HAND, and left. Your security guard then followed them to their car and began taking photos of them and their vehicle without ever approaching them inside the store or asking to see a receipt like a normal person would. Let's be clear: she paid for it. There is a receipt. What I have a much bigger problem with is a grown adult man following my barely-18-year-old sister out of the store and into the parking lot to photograph her without identifying himself or stating any concern to her face. That is not loss prevention. That is just a grown man following a young girl to her car. If there was a genuine concern, the time to address it was at the door. Not creeping up on two teenagers once they were already outside. And to top it all off? The cake was frozen solid and basically inedible & no, not because it was a supposed to be a frozen product, but because it appeared to be old and improperly stored. So we got harassed over a cake that wasn't even fit to eat. This was supposed to be a simple birthday errand. Do better.

When I was looking around for specific ingredients, the employee that I asked was super helpful and knew exact what aisle, section, and shelf the item was going to be in.

They should have been stopped at the door but the 3 cashiers at the front of the store let them all come in. They walked their bikes to the back of the store by the milk and eggs and started riding wheelies on their bikes and making everybody get out of their way. I couldn't find 1 worker at the back of the store and had to go find a cashier at the front of the store to let her know. I asked her if she seen the kids on their bikes come into the store and she said yes. I said well they are riding wheelies at the back of the store so she announced it on the loudspeaker. When she did the kids riding their bikes heard it and started leaving knocking everything off of the store shelves . In the meantime all of the other store employees came out of the back room of the store and had to pick all of the store products off of the floor. My complaint is why were they even allowed to bring their bikes in the store ? Put a bike rack outside and make them leave their bikes outside.

This to me was disgusting. Emily immediately recognized as I looked at her and said I don't want that and she says you know what I'll take care of you and did she take care of me she took time while there was a line and made the coffee fresh and made the order correct in any other items that I needed was able to fulfill the order that I had placed. Her level of customer service should be recognized and I just wanted to say thank you to her for supporting me. No one knows what people are going through in their lives especially when it pertains to health and that simple gesture was absolutely everything that I needed.
