The only thing I can say positive of this location is the food came out fast. The rest of the…read moreexperience was a major disappointment. It started when we got our food and asked for 5 additional styrofoam plates. They told that they don't give out extra plates. Probably less than $0.10 worth of plates is all I was asking for after spending close to $50 on food and was told no. It confused me as to why a business would value $0.10 (or less) worth of supplies so highly over customer satisfaction at this stage. It was so important to that it stood out as a negative interaction with this business that I'm now documenting in this Yelp review. Give them the pickle! The food I ordered was for 5 people and all of them gave this place a thumbs down. The cheese smelled moldy and the chicken didn't taste right. We trashed the entire meal and went across town to get way better Mexican food for exactly the same price. So if you're in Escalon and you want good Mexican food, go elsewhere.

Rude customer service. I gave the man my order and said no sour cream and he still put it on there…read moreand I said lettuce tomatoes and cheese and he put no tomatoes. I went up to the window and told him I said no sour cream and he was super rude to me. I said give me my money back I am not supporting a rude business as this man was to me and he wanted to charge me for extra napkins. I am not supporting a rude business like this man was to me. His food is not worth being treated so rudely. So if you want to be treated with respect than find another taco truck to go to. He clearly doesn't appreciate my business.

My sopa was a little too crunchy (the masa base) but the flavors were good. I asked for green sauce, and it was more like a creamy white sauce, but still ok. We had a favorite Mexican restaurant that we went to in our hometown, the next city over, but since it shut down a year ago, we might make this our new go to place.

YELP REMOVED MY REVIEW FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!…read more My wife decided to give this place a try, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from the moment she placed her order. She was trying to order flautas, but there was a language barrier between her and the employee taking her order. My wife noticed that the employee was entering something completely different and repeatedly tried to clarify that she wanted flautas. The employee kept saying "yea, yea, yea," as if she understood and was handling it. My wife knew the order was being entered incorrectly, but rather than continue arguing or create a bigger situation, she decided to let it go and move forward. When the food arrived, it was not what she had ordered. She calmly explained to the employee that she had repeatedly asked for flautas and had even tried to correct the order while it was being entered. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, the employee began arguing with my wife and insisting that my wife was the one who was wrong. Thankfully, my wife was with a friend who speaks Spanish and was able to translate. Her friend tried to explain what had happened and help resolve the misunderstanding, but the employee continued insisting that my wife was at fault. The situation became so frustrating and flustered for my wife's friend that, while trying to translate and advocate for my wife, she eventually found herself arguing with the employee as well. This was never something my wife or her friend wanted, but the employee's continued denial and unwillingness to simply acknowledge the mistake caused the situation to escalate. Eventually, the employee agreed to remake the order, but the attitude continued. The replacement plate was brought out in a very rude manner and essentially thrown onto the table. What made the situation even worse was that my wife's friend overheard the employee speaking negatively about my wife to the kitchen staff in Spanish. She also overheard the employee saying that my wife should learn how to speak Spanish. At that point, my wife was honestly uncomfortable and even scared to eat the food. When an employee is visibly upset with a customer and is speaking negatively about that customer to the kitchen staff, it creates a level of discomfort and distrust that should never exist when someone is simply trying to enjoy a meal. My wife is one of the kindest and most respectful people you could meet. She was not rude, disrespectful, or demanding. She simply wanted the food she ordered and tried multiple times to correct the mistake. When it became clear that the situation was turning into an argument, she initially chose to let it go because she did not want to create a conflict. We love the culture, we love the cuisine, and we genuinely believe in supporting small businesses. That is why this experience was especially disappointing. As a former resident of this town, I expected much better. Language barriers happen. Mistakes happen. What matters is how you treat someone when those mistakes occur. Unfortunately, the way my wife was treated was completely unacceptable and left a very bad impression. This was, without a doubt, some of the worst customer service we have ever experienced. ATTENTION FELLOW YELP USERS!! THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS MESSAGED ME PRIVATELY TO BASICALLY "DEBATE" ABOUT THE INCIDENT. I MESSAGED THE OWNER BACK EXPLAINING THAT INSTEAD OF DEBATE, I WOULD MUCH RATHER KEEP MY REVIEW UP SO ALL OF YOU ARE INFORMED. THE OWNER OF THIS BUSINESS CLAIMS THAT THIS INCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN!!

A lot of people order their food over the phone and pick it up to take home to the family to eat. Carnitas are delicious Michoacan style for sure and they sell chicharrón on the counter like chips. They do serve chips and salsa when You dine in and I recommend order a bean dip as well. They do sell beer which goes really well with most of their dishes but best with Carnitas and they have Aguas Frescas as well. I highly recommend giving this place a try ! Service was amazing as the staff is always checking to make sure You have what You need and the place stays clean as well. They have a couple of TVs but there was no sound and the music is great with low volume so You don't have to scream across the table
