The food truck parked in this lot at Jack Tone Rd & CA-120, is called El Jacalito, contact #209-657-8125. These folks have been parked here for a while now. There is a separate Yelp page for them. I don't know exactly when the two trucks in question changed. Maybe I've been confused and never did have food from Taqueria El Molcajete. I never thought about it much. I just walked up to the truck, looked at the menu, ordered my food, and enjoyed the hell out of it. I am certain I have been getting great food from the truck, El Jacalito, for sometime now and highly recommend it. read more

El mejor menudo del área 209 y los burrito mojados,the best menudo in the 209 area and the wet burritos are very tasty

Yeah go ahead and stay away Address on file is fake, costumer service is rude as fuck hung up in my face LOL their address says Jack tone road, however you'll drive to a dead end when you call they'll tell you it's a building there in fact is no building by this name on the address in their yelp. This place is a mess.... read more

We stopped by this taco truck on the way home from a weekend family cabin trip in Twain Harte. My sister says she always stops by this place on the way home. It's located on the corner of a 4 way cross street next to one fruit stand. The tacos were yummy. We ordered 2 chorizo , 2 asada, and 2 pastor. Very yummy and tasty! Very authentic. The prices are really good! Maybe our total for 6 tacos plus a Jarrito was $10 bucks something. (Maybe because were from the bay area it's always a little more pricier.) My sister ordered a burrito and it was hugeee! My nephew ordered a quesadilla and it was very cheesy and very hearty, not scrawny at all. I will definitely add this to my Manteca food list if we are ever in the area again. read more

Fantastic taqueria!! If you are driving along Highway 120 out of Manteca, this is a must-stop location. Great quality, very pleasant service. These are some of my favorite dishes: -ricas quesabirria de res: delicious stewed beef wrapped in tortillas and onion/cheese -the regular al pastor nachos: if you are in a hurry, this is a good dish for the road. Delicious pork and fresh salsa piled on top of crisp nachos. There is a "super" version that includes guacamole/sour cream, I believe. -tacos de nopales: prickly pear cactus (nopales/nopalitos are the flat pads of the nopal/prickly pear cactus) is my favorite. These tacos are the perfect, light dish for a hot day. Also, if you (or you yourself) are on a road trip with a vegetarian/vegan, then I believe this is a good plant-based dish for them as well. I've stopped here almost every time on my way through the area - it's become a ritual at this point. The food is incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Definitely try this place out! read more

Taqueria Ripon El Molcajete - Food Trucks Near Me - Manteca, California

We got a takeout lunch from here after going apple picking at a nearby Ripon orchard, and had a positive experience. Good tacos; fast, friendly service; felt reasonably Covid-safe. We picked up the following tacos: 1) 3 al pastor - tasty 2) 3 carne asada - delicious 3) 3 carnitas - good, though not as flavorful as the others 4) 4 pollo asado - a bit dry and lacking in flavor; I wouldn't get them again We called in our order on the phone and the staff member I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Our order was ready faster than promised, which was a nice surprise (it was ready when we arrived 15 minutes after ordering, though we had been told 20-25 minutes). When we arrived, they quickly rang up my order, and thoughtfully asked if I wanted salsa and what kinds. Covid-safety wise, I appreciated that the staff had masks. The fact that one staff member's mask kept slipping below her nose made me a bit uncomfortable. It would have been great if everyone here had a well-fitting mask. There were 4 parties dining indoors when I stopped by, and they were spread out. Note: the address listed on Yelp is incorrect. The correct address is 108 E. Main St. in downtown Ripon. Overall, we had a good experience here and would recommend it for take out. read more

We stopped by on the way home from Knights Ferry and my husband recommended we stop. I told him I wasn't sure because most food trucks take cash only. I asked and bingo! She accepted card. Food was delicious and we will definetly be coming here from Manteca for our taco truck cravings! I got ceviche and my husband got a carnitas burrito that was too good to not ask for a bite or two! The two ladies were very nice and the area was clean! read more

This place is amazing. It's worth the drive from anywhere in the area. Their birria is delicious and worth the wait. Get there early though because they sell out fast.

The chef is friendly and works hard to prepare good, delicious food quick. read more

Awesome tacos. They are not shy with their portions. The carnitas and asada tacos are a must try.

I thought this truck was pretty average. I had asada tacos and a burrito. I'll keep looking.
