44 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lodi

“Fresh, Fast and Friendly service. Food is good too.“

“Great food great service I really enjoyed the food and really good micheladas“

“Amazing new Mexican restaurant in Lodi! The food tasted very authentic and was served hot! The staff is very polite and attentive. They have handmade tortillas! I ordered the lunch special, 1 chicken enchilada and 1 beef chimichanga, comes with rice and beans. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Their surf and turf tacos and burrito bowls are the bomb!“

“This place is a diamond in the jewel. The service was excellent and quick, although we went at lunch and about 4 tables were occupied, this place should be packed. The food was delicious, good flavors and seasoned just right. Look at the video of the Fajitas coming to the table.
The atmosphere was okay, there were a couple people who looked like they needed a bath walking up and down the street, but they were harmless and the restaurant is safe. Reasonable prices also.“

“5 stars!! Phenomenal fresh & tasty seafood!!! Most unsuspecting of locations. They bring it every time!!! We'll be back.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Looking for a restaurant with this good of Mexican style food for 20 years and we finally found it! Excellent...“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the food here and now I know why there’s always at least one customer in line when we drive by! Well, it would’ve been 5 stars if I didn’t get terrible diarrhea after lol! ? I’m always eating spicy and ethnic food too, so it’s safe to say it’s probably this place. Still kinda worth it tho and I want to try it again.

We tried all these for around $20! (cash only btw):
* Carne asada, birria, al pastor tacos
* Al pastor burrito
* Pupusa

My partner didn’t like the way their Al pastor tastes, but luckily I did. Tacos are solid, my favorite was the carne asada! The burrito is hefty. The ingredients were all over the place tbh and it was tough to get through huge patches of only sour cream cheese LOL (not captured in my pics). And sadly a lot of space was taken up by tortilla folds too. But I liked it a lot.

The pupusa was unpleasant to me, but my partner ate it fine. Kinda tastes like a dry tamale. Very different from Cuban pupusas! Came with a little plastic wrap pouch of pickled pepper veggies and stuff.“

“I ordered the carne asada fries, they were pretty great! This is the correct ratio of meat to fries, and it had a unique smokey flavor, also one of the red salas was fire. It needs guacamole or avocado, as all asada fries do - also, it is pricey, around $16 for this, and that's without guac or avocado - really a 4.5 due to those things, but worth rounding up, I'll be back.“

“Our favorite Mexican Food place 10/10“

“some of the BEST clam chowder I have had.“

“Wow, now this place has amazing chicken. Not only was the food good but the prices are great! Generous portions given and quality food. Must try when you are in Lodi! The whole chicken with rice and beans is a great deal!!!! Staff was warm and welcoming & has a family owned restaurant feel.“

“I have been coming here for over 5 yrs now. The service is always great, always fresh, and the food comes out fast. I get the Chile relleno+Chile verde burrito most of the time, their chorizo is great too but sold out a lot of the times by 7am because they get a huge rush of workers every morning. Definitely recommend!“

“The food here was so delicious!!! As Mexicans, foodies and cooks our standards for good Mexican food are often too high for local food. We travel to Mexico when we want really great Mexican. This place was shockingly good. The mole was authentic- spicy and flavorful. The cemita poblana was big and the meat was perfectly fried. We were the only two people eating at lunch so please come eat here so they stay around for years to come! We will be back for more ?“

“very good food a must for al pastor“

“Amazing food and drinks! Best Margarita I’ve had in a long time. The service was too notch! Will return.“

“Best asada fries in town .“

“La picosita“

“Best tacos in Lodi. I'm officially a convert. I was a loyal La Picosita customer until finally branching out and trying Las Perlas.
The quality of the meat is better.
The prices are better.
The burrito is massive.
They have asada fries.
And best of all they accept credit/debit card. The convenience of not having to search out an ATM is so understated nowadays.“

“This place just opened up so it was a little slow. But that didn't matter because the service was impeccable. Our waitress offered us all the different hot sauces when we mentioned we liked them spicy. Instead of chips and salsa it was chips and ceviche which was really good. I got the carne asada tacos which were flavorful and my husband got a burrito. If you are looking for a Mexican stop this place is perfect. Food was amazing staff was friendly and they had music playing. Perfect way to end our week“

“we really loved this place and will be coming again. the food was really reasonably priced and my fiance said the burrito was one of the best he's ever had!“

“Grateful this place is near the truck stops. It's always good to be able to get a real meal, and not the standard fast food places truck drivers see all the time. The food was as others have stated, fast, hot, and fresh. Great service. There is literally a bell right up front you can ring if the employees aren't up front when you enter. I say that to refute the 1 star review of another driver who said the place doesn't like truck drivers. I think his name was Karen or something.“

“Delicious!! DELICIOSO!! CALIDAD DE COMIDA!!“

“Best service hands down! Erik & Judy treat their customers like royalty. Food is always on point and the meat is always quality!! Highly recommend!“

“We had an excellent lunch here today. The service was friendly and attentive, and the place is small and homey. We ordered an asada quesadilla, chips and guacamole, a carnitas burrito with white cheese sauce, a carnitas burrito bowl, jamaica agua fresca (one of the best I’ve had - not too sweet!), and flan. The portions were big enough that we both took home half of our meal and everything tasted super fresh. We’ll be back!“

“La cubana está muy sabrosa. Lastima que no me pude comer 2 tortas. Para la próxima vez no voy a comer en dos días para poder comerme 2 TORTAS CUBANAS. Salidos Mónica excelente servicio y comida, la combinación perfecta.“

“First time trying it I got the number 2 mix carnitas, buche , cueritos all was really flavorful and tender the rice and the beans could use a little more salt but they are very tasty. For Carnitas they have everything chicharron etc….
And the cashier was extremely friendly and welcoming“

“Veggie burritos were great!“

“I can only speak to the tacos and the horchata. Both are above average, and even with ordering a drink I spend less on lunch here than I would anywhere else. My order was just under $10, which is about the going rate these days if you don't want to starve to death, and they did not charge a fee to use a credit card. Kudos to them for that since so few merchants choose to be as generous.

The tacos are made with buttery soft yet durable tortillas that hold up well during consumption. Both the asada and pastor are flavorful and well-cooked, and the salsa is delicious with plentiful green onion and good heat.* They also include a nice touch with each order with some pickled vegetables (carrots, radish, jalapeño). The horchata has just the right amount of cinnamon and is super creamy. Service is always outstanding. A possibly yet undiscovered (?)** gem in a Chevron parking lot.

*Today, they were out of their regular salsa so I gave them the go ahead to put their "spicy" salsa directly on my tacos. One bite of my taco and I'm seriously regretting that choice. (32 oz of water later...) It's so bad I think I'm going to go back and ask if I can possibly trade them in for tacos with normal salsa. I should have known; when I gave the okay to put the spicy salsa directly on the tacos, the lady looked surprised. That's never a good sign.

**It's never been too busy when I've gone here. And even when there are a couple people ahead of me in line, orders come up fast.“

“It was definitely worth a stop for me, not the absolute best on the interstate but pretty darn close. You can usually tell if a place is good to eat by the lines of people, I was in and out and about 20 minutes. I got the Super Burrito with asada, as you can see in the picture it was larger than my Rockstar. I will definitely go back and try some of the other stuff out as I passed through every week.“

“some of the BEST clam chowder I have had.“

“Have eaten here a number of times and has been great food hot...not over cooked clean and hreat staff....Heading thete today to pick up Very large order for birthday party... yummy good food. A place if your lookinh to eat healthier....“

“Went there for the first time on Monday. Had the "Caldo de Chacal Mixto". It was a pleasant surprise how good it was. Perfectly seasoned. It has one Chacal which is basically a giant prawn. It also had regular shrimp, octopus, and chunks of fish. It also comes with veggies like zucchini and carrots. We were provided hand made tortillas which is always a plus. They place is kind of small, but it wasn't crowded that day. We talked to the owner, and he's a very pleasant and attentive.“

“I have been to several Chipotles throughout the US and this one was by far the best! The staff was very friendly and highly motivated and hard working. The place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The food was also amazing. Everything was perfect and would definitely recommend this chipotle!“

“The server went out of her way to help me pour my soup into a to go container so I wouldn't spill it“

“Food was amazing. I'm hooked on the chilaquiles.“

“We had lunch there yesterday. Not the first time I’ve been there. As usual the food was great as was the service. Will be back.“
