The food here is awesome at a great price. I definitely like going here on the weekends for the $1 taco deal all day long. Got myself a couple to share with co workers and family. The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is like a small restaurant that you can eat in. I highly recommend going here for some great food with friends or family. read more

Tacos El Grullito - Pork tacos - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

Highly recommend Tacos El Grullito if you're ever in Stockton, it's one of my absolute favorite taquerias. My goodness... if you want tacos, burritos, taco-flavored kisses, and to feel like you've entered heaven, this is the place. This is one of my favorite spots to hit before school or after school, and it never disappoints. The prices are right, but beyond that, the food is SO good. The tacos and burritos? My goodness, mami. My goodness, papi. Está bien perfecto, muy delicioso. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without leaving me feeling sick, greasy, or disgusting after. I actually feel sexy when I'm done eating here, and that says a lot Also, the lady who works there, I don't know her name, but she is absolutely iconic. She is always so sweet and friendly to me every time I come in, and that kind of energy really makes a place even better. Amazing food, great prices, and genuinely kind service.

Conveniently located across the street from St. Joseph's. I walked over to grab a coffee & saw this was next door. Popped in to grab some lunch. Service was just fine; quick and easy. The location itself is very small and it was very warm inside, but I was grabbing food to go, so it wasn't an issue. My order was ready very quickly-maybe 5 minutes! I ordered an asada super burrito and had to resist from eating the entire thing. Appreciate this food option & would go read more

I've been to El grullito but not this location, this is the location across the street from St Joseph's hospital. We were in the area and decided we wanted to get some tacos at first, but we walked up and saw it they had carne asada fries. So they offered this big bowl of fries for 6 bucks. It's a very good, cheap meal. We had extra onion and cilantro, didn't have to pay extra for beans and rice. They graciously added the beans and rice to the carne asada fries and it was delicious. The one thing I would have done differently is maybe ask them to cook my fries a little longer, because I like them crispy. Especially since they're going to top it with lots of sour cream and guacamole so that's going to make the top soggy. But other than that I enjoyed my experience, this location is usually busy because a lot of medical staff patronizes this location. It's right in the heart of a lot of medical buildings. But they're worth the wait, check them out if you're reading this,this is your sign. read more

Tacos El Grullito - 6$ I was shocked most places charged double so good - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

Food was good but service was horrible! I asked for two orders of asada fries and she gave me one and one taco. When I told her the order was incorrect she got very upset and she said I must have made a mistake because she was certain she couldn't have made the error. She was more worried about being right then to just charge me and move on. She gave me a dirty look and asked me what my name was and I asked her why and she just gave me an ugly look the cook and the guys that usually are there always make it a pleasant visit but this time around I seriously wanted my money back and wanted to take my business elsewhere her name was Carla by the way. read more

Tacos El Grullito - Carnitas sope well it was mostly fat pieces and not so much meat. Plus they didn't give me the lettuce and tomatoes I was disappointed - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

Tacos El Grullito - Carnitas, lingua, and tripas. $1 each. - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

Close to St Joes it's convenient if at the hospital. That's about the advantage - total. We partook in a carne asada burrito, chicken tacos and super burrito. All were meh - not very tasty albeit larger portions. No salsa bar. No tortilla chips. Nice enough service but this isn't anything close to SoCal or coastal fair. Again convenient to the hospital but set your expectations accordingly. read more

Tacos were not bad as tiny street type for $1. I am offering these stars because they I am diabetic and had paid for a soda. Discovered when I went to the self-serve fountain they were out of Diet Coke and that was the only option without sugar. Talked to the manager and he bluntly said "WANT YOUR MONEY BACK" after I explained. Felt he needed the $2 more than better service so just paid for filtered tap water. read more

I'm a little disappointed with my order today. I got a asada quesadilla to go. When I opened my container my quesadilla was swimming in grease. I have never seen this before anywhere I've ordered. Posted a photo as well, the tortilla is complete soggy from the grease. I ordered a chicken quesadilla for my daughter & hers is not like this. We also got an order of asada fries & even those are greasy read more

Tacos El Grullito - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

They have a smaller menu compared to other Mexican restaurants but the food is good and the service is fast. I ordered the quesadilla with carnitas and it was plenty to feed two people. The carnitas were juicy and flavorful which can be a hit or miss for some restaurants. If you wish to eat inside there is plenty of seating that is spaced out so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of each other. There are other restaurants in the area but you won't struggle to find parking close by. read more

This place should have a line right out the door. Good food, great people work here and tacos all day Saturday and Sunday are ........$1.00. Exchanged or from 5pm-11pm Monday -Friday. Come on out and support this place read more

Great prices. Fast service. Good food. Pero la música está muy fuerte, bájenle un poco cabrones. Can't hear the orders being called. Tables and floors are dirty. Details matter. Other than that, this place is great. read more

Brand new taco joint in an area that desperately needs some dining options! It was opening day and super busy so I tried the asada tacos to keep it simple. They were not the best or the worst I've had, but I'd go back again to give something else a try. After all, it was their first day and they were slammed. My coworker tried a super burrito and his opinion was the same-not the best or worst but it definitely did the trick in filling him up! They offer your standard fare-tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas and sopes AND they carry Coca Cola products...big plus for me! Service was fast and friendly so I think they're a good option if you need a quick lunch. P.S. They take cards! read more

Went to eat here after visiting my mother in law who has been in the hospital. No chips and salsa, which I thought was weird for a Mexican restaurant to not have. When we got our food, all the meat was cold, like it had been sitting out and then just added to the tacos, burrito, etc. No flavor, just greasy. We're not ones to complain normally. We didn't finish our meal, just tossed it and chalked it up to not eating here again. About 2 days later, my wife started throwing up and that lasted for 3 days! Definitely food poisoning from this place. I ate everything she ate, except the tripas tacos she got. It was prob that. read more

Food is really good, but the lady at the cashier always gives me attitude when I ask for extra salsa for my burrito. They give like two jalapeño slices for a whole burrito and I like chile. So I always get 3 little cups which are only ever half full. Today she decided to charge me $1 extra for the salsa which had never been the policy, I understand food prices have gone up but why the attitude, I'm literally giving you business. read more

This place is a complete joke!!! Came today and bought 5 tacos. After ordering I asked the lady for some tap water out of their fountain machine, and she replied by saying" we don't give water but we do sell plastic cup for 3 dollars" I said don't worry it's ok. We are talking about a place that sells 1 dollar tacos! You would think tap water should be free right? Wrong! I understand business pay for plastic cups. I been in places where I been ask to pay 50 cents for the cup and that is totally understandable. This whole interaction was so funny that I had to review it. this was my 4th time here and usually walk with my own water but today I forgot. I have a suggestion for the business owners! Sometimes costumer service can go a long way keeping costumers. What are thinking denying tap water!!! read more

Great service, friendly workers and delicious food. Small space but cozy. The chefs take provide with their food. Always fresh and hot.

The tacos were really good. My wife, kids and I tried all 4 different meat choices with the tacos and each one was delicious. We will definitely be coming back for the all weekend day $1 tacos. Normal price is $2 for the tacos during the week except from 5pm to 11pm, the prices are back to $1 tacos. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. read more

Love their tacos! Only $2 per taco and you can choose the meat. Delicious and fast. Perfect when I'm on my lunch break.

This has to be one of the crappiest customer service spots. The lady working taking the orders was beyond rude. I ordered my tacos and had a few questions which you can tell she was irritated. After my food gets cooked I try to explain to her that my tacos were suppose to have cheese and sour cream. She looked at me and said it's in them. I open the bag and it's just plain meat. I asked for the grilled onions she told me she had and then told me they don't have any. My bill was $10 I tipped her $5 before the attitude started. Wish I could of pulled my $5 back out that jar. read more

First time having this food I ordered the fries asada they were amazing and affordable I recommend this place clean and friendly service

Messed up my order twice. The girls working the counter didn't even apologize. I double checked my receipt and I ordered correctly. First time I was given carne asada instead of chicken. Second time I was given all spicy salsa instead of mild. Probably wont be back. The food is okay and close to work but the customer service is lacking. read more

Service is terrible. I ordered 4 tacos and they kept calling numbers that were behind me with bigger orders.

There are two locations but the food tastes pretty similar even though they say it is not connected. The one on California has tacos for $1 on weekends and across from my job so I prefer this one and you can call in advance for your order. read more

I ordered 2 super burritos, and was disappointed. I will say this, the flavor IS good, for the meat, rice, and beans, BUT there was no sour cream, and MAYBE a few tiny shreds of cheese, if i really searched (which i did), but why no sour cream or cheese?!!! I thought maybe they just messed up on my order but after looking at the reviews on here I can see that is a common thing for them to do , so unfortunately I won't be back there, even though the location is super convenient (which is why i tried them in the first place). I paid $20 plus for 2 super burritos, and 2 tacos. There were no extras in the bag, like lime or lemon, salt packets, napkins. That would be useful for someone on their lunch break. Why would you not give customers what they pay for?? Do they not know that if you make a customer happy, they become a repeat customer?? They are in such a good location too!! Word of mouth works wonders!! Add sour cream and cheese to your burritos and give people what they pay for!! and youll get alot more customers. But for now, highly disappointed :/ read more

Had the burrito today, in addition to the tacos and quesadilla I've already had, still happy good service

I work across the street at St. Joseph's Medical Center. The entire hospital is ecstatic that a new food joint is opening across the street. We have nothing near us when it comes to food options! I've visited here with coworkers several times now, and we enjoyed it very much. The meats are seasoned perfectly, with plenty of juices dripping into your tortilla. That's a staple when it comes to good Mexican restaurants. I've ordered the carnitas burrito every time and it has NEVER disappointed. I've also ordered their carne asada French fries which come fully stacked and loaded. It's a great dish to share to complement your burritos and tacos! The interior of the restaurant is very clean and well-organized, in a newly developed building next to a Starbucks and a Subway. Although there's often homeless around the area, there's usually enough foot traffic and police presence nearby that you never feel unsafe or bothered. Most of them around the area are nice, anyway. Here are some areas for improvement: Their rice is very very undercooked. It was undercooked and almost had a crunch to it the first time around. Several of my coworkers agreed. I thought maybe it was just a poorly cooked batch, so the next day I ordered the same thing again and the rice had the same crunchy undercooked consistency. From then on I just started ordering without rice, which really is unfortunate since rice in a burrito is great for soaking up all that flavor. There is little to no differentiation between the regular and super burrito. At pretty much every Mexican restaurant, a super burrito not only offers more, but is also larger in size. My coworkers and I compared burrito sizes (haha!) and they were exactly the same, even though half of us ordered super. Also, many of the supers were missing sour cream and the things that make it different. It appears we just paid the upcharge for no reason. All in all this is a MUST VISIT food joint. They've had great reviews on their taco truck and it's great to see a local business grow and expand to a permanent location. And they picked a great place. Across the street from a huge hungry hospital with no competition nearby. It's an untapped gold mine. I'll continue to grab to-go orders from here, and I'll definitely update my review to see if there's been any changes. read more

My experience: I am a type 1 diabetic and went here for lunch. There was a long line, and my blood sugar was becoming dangerously low. I asked if I could have a cup for a soda and the server said I had to wait in line and pay for the cup first. I clearly explained that I was having a medical emergency and I was going to order food too and I would pay for everything but I needed the cup right then and there because I felt I was going to pass out at any second. Again, she told me NO! I didn't have time to argue and ran next door where Subway was more than helpful. I went back to talk to the manager and all of a sudden no one spoke English. Guess what! This white boy lives in Mexico and speaks Spanish. So, they went back to all of sudden speaking English. I asked "how would you feel if you or a loved one was dying and at the hospital they said "sorry, you need to wait in the back of the line and pay first?" The server ignored me. I asked for an apology and she said I need to leave or she would call the police! I asked to speak to a manager and of course they were not there. It's funny how they tried to pull the "I don't speak English after speaking it perfectly". I've lived in Mexico longer than most Mexicans that live here so don't try that crap on me! I will never go here again until a manager and that server apologize! A $3 dollar cup of soda to save a life that I was going to pay for with the rest of my order was too much to ask for. I'm discussed by their conduct and unethical behavior. read more

Not impressed. Tried this place because it is right across the street from St. Joseph's med. Staff looked unhappy. Unfriendly. Asked for chips and salsa. "We don't do that" Can I buy them. " We only have chips for nachos" Ordered beef super burrito. I personally like salty food, but this beef was so salty, I barely ate have. Next time Subway next door or drive to a much better choice. Cannot believe this place got 4 stars! read more
