    2 fish tacos and 1 chicken taco

    Called in my order and food was done when I got there. Great food and fast service! They hook you up with all the extras too

    This place was highly recommended by one of my close friends and ordered through DoorDash. I have to say that I was blown away! Food tastes amazing, great portions, sides, and followed everything I asked for!

    Cheese quesadilla with crema

    My husband and I had lunch from the Tacos El Pelon truck on Highway 88. I don't know which of the ones here on Yelp is that one so I just chose this one for my review. My husband got a cheese quesadilla with crema added all over the inside, and I got four of the tacos el pelon with Carne Asada, and all the beans and lettuce and stuff. They were the best tacos and the best quesadilla my husband ever had so it was a good deal too and we are so glad it's near our house.

    I go to the Harding way/Waterloo location & it's always good!! The meats are always fresh...they add a little whole beans & a little bit of lettuce & sprinkled with queso fresco. Mmmmmm... They also give you grilled onions, grilled nopales, limes, cucumber, Serrano pepper,pickled carrots & a strip of queso fresco On the side!! Yep..you read that right. All reasonably priced. They have added a few new menu items that I can't wait to try.... I recommend you give this spot a try...even if it's out of your way a bit. I happily drive past plenty of taco trucks to get to this one. You won't regret it.

    Customer Service is Horrible . The girls there are rude and just gossiping . Food is horrible i asked for red salsa and they put red and green , i asked for a small plate of rice and the rice looks disgusting

    Steak tacos with cheese and sour cream

    This is the best taco truck in town. I don't hesitate to leave 5 stars because this place never disappoints and I eat here often. I usually get the tacos which they normally jazz up with whole beans, lettuce and Parmesan cheese but I had a torta there once and it was delicious!!!! The ladies who run this franchise are also very nice. Never a long wait for the deliciousness.

    They got the best tortas and burritos I've had in Stockton. After trying many places they make the food here the way I like it.

    Stopped by Fondita after a recommendation from my cousin and he delivered! Let's get into it…read more.. Ambiance - Fondita is a smallish restaurant, but can still cater to groups big or small. The maximum occupancy is 49 people, but it felt roomier inside than that. The decor is okay and the place seemed clean overall. Service - Service was pretty good. Our server was very friendly, and service wasn't bad. The only blemish was she did not check in on refills very frequently. I managed to get one, but my wife did not. By the time she asked again, we had finished our meal and were ready to go. A pretty small blemish, and not a dealbreaker for us. Food - The food was outstanding. My wife got the fajitas and they looked great! She loved them. I got the alambres and they were fantastic. Add in the homemade tortillas (both flour and corn) and it's an easy five stars! Their rice, beans, and salsa were all good too. No complaints at all with the food. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. The food was great, the people were super friendly and welcoming, and we were able to get a table right away. It's very close to the freeway, so when coming from out of town it's an easy on/off too. Great spot!

    WOW!! This hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the old Big Lots parking lot just became my favorite…read moreMexican restaurant in town! We came here on a whim last weekend, and OMG, I'm so glad we did. The restaurant is small and not in the greatest location, but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back! The tortilla chips are a mix of corn and flour, which was a nice surprise. Literally everything we ordered was so good! I went with the build-your-own combo plate and chose a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and beef flautas. My entire plate was delicious, including the rice and beans. The homemade tortillas were so fresh and tasty. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their food. We split the three-piece quesabirria tacos, and they were excellent. I chose the gravy cheese enchilada for my combo plate, but I also tried my partner's green chili chicken enchilada--both were great. You can choose between red, green, or gravy sauce for the enchiladas, and I definitely want to try the red next time. Don't be turned off by the unassuming storefront and corner location. This place is serving up some seriously delicious food, and it's absolutely worth the visit!

    It was our second time eating at La Mesa. It was my birthday yesterday and my boyfriend asked me…read morewhere I wanted to go. I chose La Mesa because the first time we went I was very impressed with the delicious drinks and the short rib enchiladas. The atmosphere is so special and intimate whether you're on a date or with family. Both times we went, our servers were friendly and checked on us appropriately. Our server yesterday was handling making drinks at the bar and serving other tables that were there for Valentine's Day, but she still provided us with really good customer service (not sure of her name but she was wearing a pink shirt). We ordered a few drinks that included a strawberry horchata with rum, and a special one for Valentine's Day called the cupids kiss. They really stood out to me with how cute and yummy they were. For an appetizer, we ordered birria French fries. I was surprised that it had the consommé because I assumed it would make the fries soggy.... But it did not! They were AMAZING. The birria was tender and delicious, the flavor had a lot of depth in the consommé. For our entrees, we both cannot get enough of the short rib enchiladas with the mole sauce. They are our favorite. I really am just grateful that there is a restaurant like this that cares about the food they share with their customers. In the past, we ate at restaurants for my birthday where they didn't take as much pride or care about what they served. My birthday dinner at La Mesa felt very special to me and my boyfriend. Thanks a bunch we look forward to our return visit!

    Pros: - local!!! -…read morestaff very welcoming Room for improvement: - something about this place is missing the mark. It's owned by the same people who run Market Tavern and Prime Table. La Mesa is the forgotten child. When going to MT and PT it feels upscale and an experience, with excellent food to boot! But La Mesa's ambiance, food and asmosphete is just not hitting the same. I bet with some aesthetic adjustments and a shift to more upscale dining like their sister restaurants this has a lot of potential. Did I hear someone say live music acoustic guitar or flamingo shows may help? Overall: - improve the quality of food and adjust the ambiance and this maybe another winner
