    Birria quesotacos
    Samantha T.

    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

    Lil lunch date with hubby we decided to share a chicken burrito . Yes it was that big that we were able to share and I must say it was delicious well worth it . Their aguas are really good as well . Recommend their Jamaica .

    Best menudo

    It's a good place to eat they have a delicious menudo and they have a very good costumer service !!!!

    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.

    The most disgusting burrito I've ever had had to cut it because there was holes in the tortilla.

    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.

    Quesotacos (Birria)  Small Consomé

    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.

    Ate them before I could even take a proper photo.

    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.

    WOW, so thankful my sis got to hear about this spot from her girl so we decided to check em out. FYI, CASH ONLY so make sure you have that on hand before coming in here. We of course ordered the birria tacos and then this amazing birria pizza as well to share with the group. 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!

    Natalie J.

    If you're ever in the Stockton area, this is definitely a spot to grab some Tijuana style Mexican eats! A few tips before going: Take cash and try their Mulitas and Sopes.

    One of their descriptive menus inside. Cashola only!

    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!

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!

Then she went back to the back to talk to cooks some more, finally began to take our order then said she needed to take a call from her boss because they were having issues with printer. Had us wait more time, she went to the back again came back to register played with device to try to reset it all to then tell us they couldn't serve us. Complete waste of our time. Every time we have been here there has been so sort of issue. As a side note they rip customers off too- I like to add my own salsa so I always ask for it on the side and I've been charged for it even though I don't want extra just would normally come with food but I have seen cashier give customers dining in more salsa at counter after getting their food without charging them. It's like they just add random charges and sneak extra money out of customers getting food to go without even letting one know of the extra charges. So please be aware if you choose to take your chances here.

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
