I'm so excited to try the ramen birria and birria pizza ! When I got here I was confused on location . But it's inside the Mexican super market . And there is another taqueria right next to it so don't get confused ! There are a few places inside to sit and eat but none outside . I wouldn't suggest eating outside of this location however . But the service was good . They have a lot of workers working hard . Not to mention how hot it is . Ahh smells so good read more

They say they put an equal amount of meat beans and rice. This is false they put very little meat. Its happened before I thought I'd call to ask maybe low on meat , there reply was thats the way they make them. (Carne asada burrito) Beans and rice burrito with a table spoon of asada meat. No flavor no sauce. read more

I USE to love going to this taqueria. hired new cooks and cashiers. place isn't the same food isnt good anymore and I'm sure it has to do with the new cooks. they don't know what their doing. the cashiers are rude & honestly need someone at the register who can comprehend what their being told. And the inside is dirty. Do better. and because I was forced to give a rating you guys got one star. but if I could I'd give it -10. read more

Might just be a top 5 hand held burrito I have ever had. The women running the place were absolutely amazing and kind when ordering. This is a must place to go to. read more

The food is always top notch ramen, tacos, burritos everything the sauces are on point it's my favorite taqueria.

Located inside a small market. Legit quesa birria Many options including birria in instant tapatio ramen! Flavor is on point. Downsides: the plaza is sketchy. Dealers slanging chronic and other pharmaceuticals in the parking lot. Tiny dining area. Only a few tables. Service can be slow with a just a few workers in the cramped kitchen space. Looking forward to trying the birria pizza if I'm in the area again. read more

best taqueria in town hands down!! everything i've had here has been so good. i have tried just about every taqueria in the area and nothing compares. staff is friendly and my order is always right. only reason i'm giving four stars is because they close so early! wish they were open later read more

We eat here occasionally and it's usually average but it's close to our home so it's worth it .... Until today! The "grilled onions"were oiled slugs basically... both burritos had holes in the tortillas so we had to put it on a plate to eat. The meat was burnt for both burritos and the cheese wasn't even melted. We spent 42 dollars and they gave us one bag of nasty jalapeño's and 3 salsas for two burritos and 3 tacos. All smothered in so much grease. Then tried to give my husband shit because he didn't leave a tip ! I do not recommend coming here. read more

This place was found in a supermarket/ grocery store The food was very very savory and delicious. I like that it comes with grilled onion grilled chiles and Freshly chopped radish. The quesotaco was amazing. With everything includes onion , cilantro , and avocado salsa (really good ) which was perfect on its own. I got a small consomé to try with it Was not a fan of the small consomé. But the birria was delicious. Would definitely recommend If you're in the area and looking for good food. read more

This was my first time here. I ordered 3 birria tacos and my fiancé ordered a queso birria taco. When I placed my order, the girl was super confused with my order. I told her I would like 3 birria tacos and 1 queso birria taco. She didn't understand my order when I said birria taco. Then a coworker of hers explained birria street tacos. I'm not too sure why it was so difficult to under my order, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. They're actually quite busy here and usually that means the food is great. When we received the food, I wasn't aware that the queso birria taco didn't come with any consommé. You actually have to buy three to get free consommé. Secondly, on Yelp, the pictures are so misleading. The people who posted photos of the birria tacos are not regular birria tacos. It's the queso birria tacos. I was given the impression that the tacos do come with consommé. This restaurant was also a little difficult to find because it's actually inside a supermarket called Peñas Super Mercado, towards the right side. I probably would come here again since the food is good, but honestly for Stockton, it's pretty pricey. I'm surprised that the price was the same as Bay Area prices. My pics don't do the food justice because we waited quite some time for the food to arrive and I was really hungry. Also, keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY. SO, make sure you bring some cash with you. read more

The tacos were fire but wish I could say the same about the consume. but still amazingly good! Lets get into the pizza, its so freakin good! the sauce drizzle on top is so fireee! I think the pizza is better than the birria tacos tho. make sure to get the pizza with some friends cause its A LOT of food but DEF worth it! Service is good and make sure you order for pick up so you can pay and take it home to eat and share with everyone! read more

Only a four star since I've only tried their shrimp/asada burritos and their awesome Asada, Pastor, and shrimp quesatacos. All were excellente! Located just off El Dorado going North before March Lane inside Peñas Super Mercado. Limited seating. They have great menus posted that have grrrreat pics of most of their food. Quick and friendly service. I went on a Taco Tuesday around 4:00pm. No lines! My order only took about 5 minutes. I hear sometimes they sell out of items. They also have two taco trucks in town. One down South off Wilson Way and one off Pacific Ave.. Have some tissue on hand because their tacos were nose runny spicy!! It's on my list of good spots to eat quick, delicious, & savory Mexican food! Check'em out and give them some local love. Tony out!! read more

The area is a little sketchy but the food makes it all worth while. We ordered a pastor burrito, a little small but was packed with flavor. The quesatacos we also ordered were great. Finally we ordered a mulita de pastor, seasoned well and tasted even better. All this to compliment the horchata that was fantastic. We received our order relatively quickly along with salsa and extra limes at no extra cost. Overall if you're looking for good birria tacos or great food in general this is a great spot with great eats. read more

This tiny hole in the wall served the best quesatacos birria ever. 12/10, A+ They also offer really tasty tortas, burritos, and tacos, but they are famous for their birria. It's a very small place located in a Mexican market, on the far right corner of the market. They have a few seats available indoors. Heed caution in the parking lot, I've had a few near misses there with crazy drivers. All in all it's absolutely worth it for the birria tacos. If you aren't familiar with birria, it's a slow braised meat dish made with beef or traditionally goat, with a rich broth. The meat is very tender so shreds easily, it can be served as a soup or often in tacos made with corn tortillas dipped in the oily broth, fried with cheese on one side, and stuffed with the shredded meat, topped with cilantro and onions, and served with more broth for dipping. Squeeze some lime on top read more

This place has changed my life and for the better. All though people describe this area sketchy. Felt non of that vibe. I have no complaints about this place I'm even thankful for their service. I came hear on a yelp adventure to satisfy my taste buds. Expectation were not only met but overachieved. I was wanting to try some birria for the 1st time, yelper help me find this place so I pull up, bounce out, and had a lowkey hard time finding this amazing food. So I eventually found it inside a lil Mexican store. I walk in take a left and there's the food establishment. I didn't know how to order so the girl working the register basically put me on game and suggested I get 3 quesatacos. That's when my life changed forever. If your in Stockton and get tired of taco trucks and want your life change slide thru read more

There are multiple locations and thank goodness I ordered at the one in hammer lane please do the same!! I walked in and immediately was yelled at "we closed". I'm trying to explain why I was there and instead of giving me time they keep yelling "well we're closed". Why don't you actually listen and let people get a word in so you can explain there are multiple locations before you scream at them!!. Not only that, you assumed I was another customer who didn't "have a ride" I don't know what about me gave you the impression that it must've been me but don't profile people it's extremely unprofessional. The restaurant smells like mildew and the atmosphere is so unwelcoming GO TO THE HAMMER LANE LOCATION where you're actually talked to with respect, kindness and the smell and look won't make you lose your appetite. Luckily I'm not as rude as you guys so I simply walked away. read more

Such good food. Go out of your comfort zone and get a huarache. Served open faced, with seasoned masa as a base. Topped with your favorite meat (today was al pastor) with beans, nopales (cactus) lettuce, cotija cheese and crema. Sides of grilled onions, jalapeño, radiches, and limes. You won't leave hungry and can't go wrong for $10! They now accept credit card and Google pay. read more

I consider this place almost like a hidden gem of Stockton, although it's become more popular and well known since opening up a food truck as their 2nd location. From my search for the perfect taco this has got to be the best in the area. Keep in mind that if you go, they are located inside a Mexican market so can be hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Also they only take cash. These guys are know for their quesatacos filled with birria. For those who don't know, birria is kind of like a beef stew/soup or something in between. There are 2 types of quesatacos I've come across. There is one where the tortilla is essentially made out of fried cheese while the other is more like a mini quesadilla the size of a taco. These guys do the mini quesadilla type. Their quesatacos are a birria filled, cheesey, melty goodness with a slightly crunchy tortilla and both a red and green sauce. They also have consomme (broth from the birria) which you can dip the tacos into with each bite but they taste delicious even without it. I have found places that serve birria but I have not seen one in Stockton that does tacos like this. Definitely my favorite taco spot in the area. My only issues with this place are the size of their location and their consistency. It's never been lower than a 4/5 for me. The tacos always have a slight crisp at least but when they are more crunchy, that's when they're at their best. If they were consistently more crunchy it would easily be 5 stars for me. read more

Sorry...I am just not a fan of this place. I had a mulita and it was bland with way too much meat. There was just an ok amount of flavor...definitely not worth all the hype. This spot is one of my sons fav birria go to's but my other boy agreed with me...flavorless (which is hard to believe). The horchata is the best in town though! This place is located in a Mexican supermarket, you wouldn't expect to have a lil restaurant inside. I probably won't be coming back unless I have a craving for horchata. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Favorite place for Birria tacos! Place was a little confusing to find as it's located inside a Mexican market. Tacos were around $3 each and came with the comsomé to dip. Tacos were loaded with juicy and tender meat. The portions were fairly big so the price wasn't too much. This place did not disappoint I'd definitely be come back again to try other items on their menu. read more

These have to be some of my new favorite tacos! The tortillas are nicely crisped, the meat has so much flavor, and the salsa is fresh and medium in hotness. I tried both the carne asada and the chicken. I'm normally a bigger fan of chicken but their carne asada was one of the best I've had in awhile. They are cash only. read more

CASH ONLY!!! This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The birria tacos with the sauce is just out of the world delicious!!!!!! I can't get enough of the goodness. They are located inside a small supermarket in the corner. They have a small seating section so it's best to do pickup. However, if they were to open a restaurant, this place would be a hotspot guaranteed. I've tasted a few birria tacos/tortas around the bay and nothing can come close to TASTE and presentation from this restaurant. It's a crime if you don't try this place at least ONCE! read more

These quesatacos do not disappoint! I've been here quite a few times now and anytime I'm craving birria tacos, this is my go to spot in Stockton. This kitchen is located inside a grocery store. When you walk in, it will be located to the right. You place your order with the employee and please be mindful that they accept CASH ONLY. They're usually fairly quick with orders. It's preferable for social distancing that you wait outside for your order and just check in after 10/15 minutes depending on how far you are in line. All orders are packaged in to-go packaging for you to enjoy for picnic in the park or the comfort of your car or home. One of my favorite parts of these tacos are that they are generous on the meat for these tacos and the flavor is consistent! Even if you order, pick up, and take a 15 mins drive home, it is still crispy when you finally get to sit down and enjoy! read more
