50 Best Mexican Restaurants near French Camp

“Ordered a breakfast burrito w/ chorizo, Papas, beans, and cheese.. Excellent. Best breakfast burrito ive had in a long time. Reminds me of my Grandma's cooking. :) Rated the atmosphere a 3 star. Due to the lights being off, when we were inside.“

“La mejor lonchera que puedas ir la comida muy rica....“

“Generous portions with their carnitas tacos. Moist with a good mix of juicy and crispy meat. Salsa, lime and onions add a nice complement of acidity. Flour tortilla holds the package well. At $2.50 per taco, you get a good price. Overall it surpassed my expectations!“

“Had to stop for fuel on the way up to the high country to clear up some misconceptions that some Scallywaggers have on what private property means, and the J&L Market Deli sure looks inviting. I didn't have a lot of time so I just got a plain old ham sandwich, and all I can say is WOW!
5 Stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“On your way back up the I-5, from Fresno, LA, Yosemite, SLO, wherever, stop here in Stockton for your taco fix. I had 3 regular tacos carne asada and later ordered one more. Picture perfect presentation. Delicious. When she asks, hot or mild sauce, the correct answer is hot.“

“I recommend the SUPER BURRITO!“

“I’ve been here several times, usually with friends who eat here often or go for takeout. When someone says, “let’s go to the restaurant,” they know exactly what that means. La Fiesta Mexicana is well known in the surrounding neighborhoods, but perhaps a little under the radar in the balance of Stockton. Very diverse menu of delicious home-style Mexican food. Good selection of “mariscos y pescados”, seafood and fish. Fantastic home-made salsas! Last time I had a standard combination plate with succulent chili rellenos, and took home a tasty supreme shrimp burrito, all reasonably priced. Good food! I recommend this place!“

“Really, really good Mexican food that isn’t the conventional representation (which I also love) you find. The staff is great. The Modelos are cold. The chips and salsa are fresh and are also delicious. I’m working my way down their menu and I have not been disappointed. I recommend eating here often.“

“I’m a connoisseur of food. I eat all types of ethnic food. I’m not Hispanic. Somebody gave one star to this establishment and I do not agree. I have gone to this place at least once a week for the past seven years and what they serve is always consistently good. My favorites are dos tacos with lime Pico de Gallo and just assada with hot sauce Pico de Gallo, lime and more hot sauce burrito. Yummy ?!“

“really good food good pricing“

“I started going to senor frogs one week after they first opened. I've been a long time friend with the Mercado's & all the others in the family. Best people to know in town. The food I recommend to everyone. Chipper called me auntie Debbie when her son was born.“

“The atmosphere in this place is pretty cool. The menu is definitely pricey for a Mexican food place but when the portions come out and then you realize why. Three skirt tacos no rice & beans $21. Three enchiladas with rice and beans $24.
House margarita $13!
The salsa was different & tasty. The food was good. Except for my two scoops of rice were cold. All in all for the price probably won’t be going back anytime soon.“

“excellent I cann only recommend this restaurant. service food quality and portion size were amazing! we ate here while travelling to Yosemite and we were so happy with everything. on this trip of 3 weeks it was the best dining experience. Stockton seemed a bit sad as a town, but this place makes up for it!“

“Very good ambiance, friendly staff and delicious food.“

“Food is always amazing! The downfalls are its usually always packed so hard to find parking at times and service isn't great. We waited 5-10 to be seated, for menus, for drinks and refills. We saw our food sitting by the kitchen a while and our waitress just wouldn't go pick it up. Another younger waitress ended up helping us more than our actual waitress. And it seems like this every time for us. I'd say its worth trying out, but just be prepared to wait.“

“I appreciate that this taco trucks food is not greasy or salty, but actually well seasoned and fresh. To anyone who reads my review, hello and thank you for reading my review =).“

“stopped today on our way back home we had the menudo, chicken and ribs right off the firewood grill and I must say everything was absolutely delicious I totally recommend everyone to try this place it's a must great food and people you won't regret“

“Jared Williams. DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRUCK!!!! Take out | Dinner | $10–20 I order from this truck at least 3-4 times every week. But today I had the absolute worst experience I had ever had with this truck. I ordered the same thing I usually always order there. The young woman...who I rarely ever see there took my order, she even repeated it back to me...I paid what I always pay for it. Then the cook calls out a totally different order...I corrected them and said that's not what I ordered. She gave me hecka attitude when I said that. I told her that this was what I usually always order...she gave me "I don't know what you usually order," And they both reacted badly towards me. At this point I was pretty heated at the attitude I received from them, I was extremely P.O'd and walked away leaving them with the money I had already paid. I snapped a few pictures of their truck to post all over social media. I happen to work right where they always park so I'll make sure to tell everyone I see that goes there what my experience was there. I guess they got their last tip ever from me since I left without getting my money. Now I absolutely don't trust eating from there...I'm not going to eat whatever tainted food they would give me in the future. Don't EVER go to this truck. They lost a really good customer. This one is parked on Frontier Way in Stockton right off of Arch Road. UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW I went back and told them that I was going to post this all over the Internet and on social media. The girl who gave me attitude said in response.... We don't care!!! That says it all right there. NEVER GO TO THIS TRUCK!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! THEY MIGHT DELETE THIS REVIEW ON THEIR PAGE BUT THEY CAN'T DELETE THIS IN OTHER PLACES.“

“Delicious....I had the shrimp it was it was very good!!! Margarita was amazing !! Waitress was helpful and friendly ..only complaint no Corona Other than that loved this place.“

“Great micheladas and quesa birria tacos, friendly staff and good costumer service food is authentic.“

“I was up here for training all week long. I happened to find this place on google maps. It has a high rating, so i decided to give it a check out. Surprisingly, it was a food truck. So don't expect waiting in a restaurant like environment. They work really hard at their craft, and it shows. The food is very good and fresh. It's sophisticated because when you order, you're given a device that lights up and vibrates when your food is ready. Awesome find in stockton.“

“I hadn't gone to Tepa in years and I was pleasantly surprised that the food and service were still incredible after all of these years! Everything was so fresh and delicious and well cared for. Great job Tepa!“

“Our fist time here (me & my 2 kids), the reason why I did not give 5 ⭐️ is because I asked my eggs over easy and this is what a got,(seepicture)Flavor is so good. Chilaquiles are no the best but good too, 4/5 for that, meat is soo soft and what I ordered was much so I did not finish. The horchata was soooo good too. I will come back to try something else.“

“It had been years since I’d been to this restaurant, but it was always one of my favorites in the area. I was pleased to see that they’ve kept the same amazing flavors in their food and sauces! It was my husband’s first time there and he was blown away, even had to buy another burrito for the road. The service was great, very friendly staff. Definitely recommend 💯!“

“Best place in town for Mexican food.“

“I love the queso tacos! I go here at least once a week for their delicious birria queso tacos. I love them so much, I can’t order anything else! I’d share a pic but when I get home I dive right in and forget the picture until there’s less than one left!“

“Came here for lunch and it was overall good, but a couple of hiccups that prevented it from being a 5-star experience. The food was overall good. I got the taco salad (La Compuesta) and while the filling was good, the outer shell of the salad was very stale. It was a bit disappointing as I typically like to break pieces off and eat them with the filling.

The service was solid, but when it came to paying the bill they had misplaced it credit card. It never made it back to me. When I went up to tell them, another guest overheard my conversation and found it on the floor right in front of the entrance/exit to the restaurant. Thankfully nothing bad happened, but that's not great.

Ambiance is nice inside with plenty of room for groups both large and small.

Overall, it was a good meal. A little pricey (over $50 for two meals w/ tip), but at least the food was overall good and the service was good too. This wouldn't be a regular stop for me, but it's a good option in Manteca.“

“Has a classic feel, everything they make it all home made. Even the tortillas!!!“

“I love this place I've been going here for over a year and every single time I get great service great food and it's a taco truck so fast service and for the money ypu get alot I would highly recommend this food truck. ? yummy the burrito pizza is the best .“

“Decided to try after hearing the menudo was the best. Didn't wait long for food to come out. Menudo was in fact delicious. Smaller bowl for the price compared to other places that serve bigger bowls though. Enchilada combo was ordered for party member as well. Enchilada had bland taste that was better after adding salsa. Came with side of 2 tablespoons, maybe, of rice and beans and a small hard taco filled with mostly lettuce. Guess they ran out of rice? Two of us ordered the menudo which came with microwaved tortillas...and quickly ran out of them even so. Waitress wasn't attentive, even though we were the only ones eating there. Would definitely order the menudo again.“

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! I don’t understand how this place doesn’t have 5 stars. People are critical not knowing how hard it is to run a Restaraunt. La Playa your doing great. We come every week. 5 plus stars“

“In the family dollar parking lot. Parking lot is a little small/crowded. $2 tacos ($1.5 on Tuesdays). $6 regular burritos all day. $7 super burritos. Got the al pastor. Twas good. No seating. Got the spicy salsa in my burrito and it was definitely manageable so not *too* spicy.“

“VERY popular and great treats! Everyone was kind. I had the fruit ice cream with mango, strawberry and bananas as fruit options and cookies and cream and cookie dough as ice cream flavours, and my husband had a mangonada, which he said was comparable to our other favourite spot in Lodi! Others have said service was a little slow, but that is only because they make everything fresh and there were so many people!“

“I’m from Oakland but work in Stockton because I moved this way. BRUH THESE TACOS ARE FIRE! I had chicken tacos spent less than $10 but food was 10/10!!! I almost said they make tacos better than the bay lol. I literally just googled to find them because I’m hungry and their closed 🥲“

“(Translated by Google) I would love to know where they buy the bolillo, I live in Oregon and I can't find that bolillo here, please contact me.(Original)Me encantaria Saber donde compran el bolillo yo vivo en oregon y Aqui no encuentro ese bolillo porfavor pasenme el contacto.“

“Great food need I say more…“

“10/10. The burritos reminded me of my grandmother who passed away, idk how they do it but the tortillas on the burrito comes out so soft and fire just like if your abuelita te echo lonche hella bomb frfr, staff are nice and welcoming they speak Spanish and English prices are good, if you stay in town or coming to town you gotta try this spot out💯🔥“

“Machaca, chile verde, French toast, Rice/Beans and Homemade flour tortillas!“

“Best Margarita in the San Joaquin Valley.“

“In my first week of being here in the United States, I’ve tried the food from Oasis Market and it was outstanding. The food in China does not compete…I’d also like to commend the nice curly headed young man for such great service and hospitality, he made me feel welcome to this country! I’m definitely sharing this place to all new people I meet and to my friends back in Hong Kong !“

“Super friendly & attentive staff. SUPREME QUALITY FOOD! 🧑🏽‍🍳💋“

“One of my all time fav spots for their beans, gravy n cheese 😋😋😋“

“friendly super good love there aguas“

“Was on break and was about to order when I got a call to return didn’t get to order or taste the food but the place looked really nice and smelled really good just the smell itself says it’s authentic I will have to come back and finish this review“

“I went for breakfast on my first visit. The service was great, and the smattering of food was delicious. I had the huevos rancheros. No complaints about the quality. The pricing was reasonable. We were the only ones there at 9am, so the service was speedy. I can’t wait to return and try something else.“

“I'll start with. I'm a truck driver call my looking for a place to go eat lunch online. I find the restaurant. Online hours say open from 9am ro 6pm, i drive my semi.They're to get lunch arrive at 2:56 pm for them to tell me they are not open that they are closing at 3:00 . And didn't want to serve me , even after I explained that there online hours said they where open and still had a few minutes before 3 and that I went out of my way with a big rig to buy from them , I will never go back there or spend another dollar with them.“

“One of my preferred taco trucks. Bummed out they ran out of chicken for my burrito but got the pastor and it was pretty good. Gorditas are good as well. Usually there is a bit of wait, but I was lucky no one was there this visit...but that usually is a good thing when you go to a food place and there is a wait because of customers. It usually means the food is good.“

“Menudo is best in Stockton hands down!!!“

“Location: 331 S Wilson Way, Stockton, CA 95205
Relocated to: 116 N Santa Cruz Ave, Modesto, CA 95354

I have always ordered the birria with mole and extra tortillas. I mostly order to go - but I have eaten a few times in the restaurant. All the interactions with the staff were pleasant - no complaints. The food has a unique flavor and was consistently good for me.

I was disappointed to find out that the owners were unable to renew the lease of the building and closed on April 30, 2025. They have relocated to 116 N Santa Cruz Ave, Modesto, CA 95354. I am attaching fotos with information on their new location as of May 1, 2025 - in case anyone is interested in visiting them in Modesto, CA. - or would like to know what happened.“
