I came in one morning, craving some authentic Mexican chicken salad. I seen they had some here. Upon walking in, it's a small shop. They have hot food to go! Already made chicken salad, ceviche, salsas. Mexican chips, chiccharones, they carry eggs, hot links, and so much more. I got my chicken salad and chips and paid. When I was walking out I seen they had freshly made paletas. The old man who worked the register and checked me out I can only assume is the owner. Offered me one for free at no charge! I said are you sure, he said yes. That was extremely sweet of him. Now what Walmart or Safeway is going to let you take a free homemade ice cream or cookie or just an item you seen on the way out for free. Nowhere! They have sandwiches to go!

I was startled by the high quality of the BBQ at Smoke and Meat…read more I love BBQ and figured "why not?" when looking for a place to grab lunch in Stockton near the Haggin Art Museum. Had I known what was in store I might have made the trip just for the BBQ alone. The brisket is some of the best brisket I have ever had in my entire life. The Ribs were way above average. The Banana pudding was outstanding. The Coleslaw was fresh and tasty and I don't even like Coleslaw! A couple of notes, they charge like 30 cents a slice or something for white bread slices, no big deal, and the sauces are fine, but not out of this world - but who needs sauce when the meat is just that good? My wife really enjoyed their tangy sauce, so of the 3 on offer start there. The customer service is 6 out of 5 stars (the owner and staff made us feel like long time regulars) and the prices are very reasonable for the portions and quality. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some brisket at Smoke and Meat, but make sure you leave some for me.

As for customer service it was great and wish I had a better rating for this place.

We have tried a few items and love their pork chops. I don't know what makes them so good, tender and flavorful. Staff are friendly and efficient. We always get a few of their sausages, too. They're definitely worth the visit and we keep trying different things. During the holidays, they fill the store with panetones and various seasonings and cookies. It's lovely! The warm, nostalgic feeling of the classic butcher shop instantly feels magical.

I will say that I've always been a fan of mobile food trucks as the majority of ones I've been to…read moreover the years have been tacos. However, I had the opportunity trying out one of the more well-known butcher shops to serve San Joaquin County. This is none other than "Fagundes Meats & Catering" which has been a staple in Manteca for decades. Their actual brick-and-mortar location is off of N. Main St/E. Louise Ave in the heart of Manteca while their food truck ventures out to various locations for a variety of community events. In this case, I saw them serving hungry patrons at the Manteca Watermelon Street Fair that took place during the weekend of 6/6/26-6/7/26. To those that know this business already is that they are famous for their tri-tip. In addition to that, they also have other amazing protein options including rib-eye, brisket, pulled pork, Italian sausage, linguica, chicken, and the order I went with, their pork belly. I ended up going with their "Pork Belly Kabobs" and went for the combo deal which included a side (I went with their macaroni salad) and a drink (I opted for a Diet Pepsi). Total price for everything was $17 (which included tax + tip); not bad especially at a public outdoor event. I will say that the pork belly was quite delicious; a little bit on the salty side but nonetheless still a fairly decent portion in each and every bite. I paired it up with their homemade BBQ sauce which had a sweet yet tangy flavor. The macaroni salad was just average for me as it had too much of a vinegar taste while lacking a whole lot of flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this meal as it held me through the majority of the afternoon. I am definitely curious to try their other meats if I end up visiting their actual butcher shop. Overall, the service was excellent considering I was at a busy outdoor event. The line moved quickly while the prices were quite reasonable, even these days where meat prices have become quite outrageous. With that said and done, I am giving the mobile food truck portion of "Fagundes Meats & Catering" an above average four stars. Hopefully I can make a future visit to their butcher shop in the coming months so stay tuned!

I'll be back around to try more menu items but for now, I'd say around a 3.5.

Even though the sign says they only allow 6 people at a time, the line goes pretty quick but what slows it down sometimes are the newbies who aren't familiar with what they offer or designate one person. Also, try to avoid coming in at least 2-3 days before any Holidays unless you have time to wait for a good hour or two, speaking from experience. Appreciate the staff overall with all their hard work! Aside from their infamous bacon which I love, we also pick up about a pound of the following: Spicy Luau, Italian and Breakfast sausages. We pick up regular or teriyaki jerky from time to time as well.

Lockeford is pretty far from us so we took the offer. After maybe a year of learning about this place, we finally found ourselves close by to visit the actual store! We heard the lines can get pretty long so we went right at open on a Sunday. There was a line of maybe 8 people so we didn't wait too long. We had our list ready so we didn't have to hold the line while we ordered. We got chorizo, smoked Dakota, and our favorite, spicy Hawaiian. We got stuff for 3 houses so we had them all packed separately. The ladies working here were very serious and processed us quickly and let us go on our merry way. I also grabbed from teriyaki beef sticks for my ride back home. Super delicious so I will have to remember to get more of those next time.

Yet they have all these signs at the door to wear a mask. The owner himself told me he doesn't need to wear a mask because he's healthy. He was a jerk. He asked me to leave after I asked this. He was rude. I also noticed when weighing my cheese- that they weighed my cheese first, then put it in a bag, then charged me for the price with the weight of the bag. It was a 6 cent difference. I asked the owner about that too and he gave me an attitude and explained that it was his policy. I'm not shopping here again. They do not follow proper Covid 19 protocols.
