29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Manteca

“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“

“Best place in town for Mexican food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 💯!“

“Todo, la comida y servicio excelente!!“

“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 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 !“

“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.“

“Stumble on this restaurant. And I am excited to say. I'm coming back!. Food prep and delivery were impeccable. For the 1st time, my wife didn't complain, which made dinner 10 times better. Her 30 years of experience in Restaurants had no complaints.Our order:Fajitas and a carnitas plate. With homemade corn and flower tortillas. Fresh bowl of avocados and mix of vegetables and spices.“

“Absolutely LOVE this place ❤️ Their fish tacos are the best I’ve had. And everyone who works there is super nice. One of the guys that works there is so handsome, tall and very sweet, I think I’m in love 🥰 I’m too shy to ever say anything though 😅❤️“

“The service is very good and that food is the best“

“Todo delicioso 😋 selos recomiendo“

“La Estrella has very good food but the quality/taste is inconsistent. This was our first visit the the restaurant. We had a variety of items to eat and drink. The carrot juice (Zanahoria) was freshly made and excellent. I believe rice and beans are a great litmus test for a Mexican Restaurant and theirs were very good. Creamy beans and flavorful rice that tasted freshly prepared. My shrimp taco was very good but not a lot of shrimp inside. My Chile Relleno was fantastic, I wish I just order these. A pastor enchilada was only OK, a bit dry, bland and disappointing. We ordered flan for desert and it as terrible. We had two small bites and left the rest. So as you can see from this review, food ranges from fantastic too terrible. Pick carefully and you will have a great meal. Place is super clean inside and nice atmosphere. The salsa bar is excellent.“

“Cant decide what to eat?? this truck has options and it is absolutely delicious. You can choose between Mexican food, Chinese food or have both. Trust me you will not be disappointed 😋“

“Well, I thought I'd be just another Mexican restaurant, but as soon as I walked into the Las Casuelas Restaurant and smelled the amazing aromas...I knew right then and there this was no ordinary Mexican restaurant! I came to Manteca to give my old Triffids Arcnobbler to my pal Dallas Cromlonger because he's been eyeballin it for 30 years! It'll be a surprise birthday present and I'm giving it to him at the Las Casuelas Restaurant. The food...all I can say is...Man-O-Man...WOW! It was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I went to San Diego recently and was expecting some good tacos from there but surprisingly coming home and eating here was better and cheaper. The tacos are great, and I recommend getting the al pastor and lengua tacos with a bottled Mexican coke. This place is a classic.“

“Best super quesadillas in California by far. Been coming here about 20 years. When I lived in SoCal I missed these quesadillas so much. SoCal super quesadillas are lacking after growing up eating these ones. I never order anything else here lol no need.“

“Great food! Great guy! Perfect for all kinds of diets too!“

“This place was damn delicious! Stopping in from now on whenever I pass through town. Got the Reyna Seafood tostada and it could easy feed two or 3. Michilada came with like 6 shrimp. Pulled 4 different salsas from the salsa bar and all delicious. I'm a big fan!“

“So yummy!!! Puffy tacos are the way to go!!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“the Tacos are super delicious...🔥🔥🔥“

“Como pescado frito muy bueno se los recomiendo“

“Whoever was working April 16th 2025, The cook did a really good job the burritos were amazing especially at 1:00 a.m., I get off late, so thank you for making my burritos fire, and the guy at the window was really cool and made sure my order was correct.“

“Food is delicious. Their sushi is really good the sauces they use compliment the sushi. We went a few months ago during summer days and their ac was not working. It was way too hot inside and too many customers. That day we waited one hour for our food. This time I noticed that they have several visible machine ac.“

“I always order ahead on the app and I only live a few minutes away. I never wait more than a couple minutes when I get there for my food.
I do not recall ever having an order missing a food item or missing ingredients (however I never modify my orders).
The only complaint is that night shift does not fill the more expensive items more than the cravings value items, so I never order the expensive ones at night now.
Maybe a fork missing here and there, but nothing that warrants less than 5 star service. Keep up the good work!“
