Theres plenty of parking, and as well seating under their covered earring area. Just try not to pay attention to the train that passes by,as well you occasionally seated bagger.“

“Listen, I am picky when it comes to Mexican food. My grandma‘s set the bar high. And there are two specific dishes that I always order at a new restaurant, and that is Caldo de Res and Chile Rellenos…these are basic dishes but I’m beyond snobby when it comes to them. If they mess these up then I will never go back. Lupita’s Homestyle Cocina exceeded my expectations. The chile relleno was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Lupitas only cooks caldo de res on Thursdays and it just so happened to be a Thursday when I ordered. The Caldo de Res tasted like home. I know she used the beef bones to make the broth because you can taste the oils. It was cooked to perfection with big chopped vegetables and nice sized chunks of beef. We also ordered the pick 3 and got Chile relleno, chicken enchilada, and a chicken chimichanga. It came with a nice sized helping of beans and rice. I got a monster burrito with beef and it was no joke! HUGE burrito and it had everything I wanted in a burrito (beef, whole beans, rice, cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo. The sour cream was on the side and it was served with your choice of red or green sauce over it. Bomb. I got a flan for desert and oh my goodness. I seriously didn’t expect much because the food was good enough. But dang, that flan was spectacular. The perfect consistency and the Carmel top of the flan was so creamy and smooth. It didn’t have that burnt taste that a lot of flans have. All in all, I was impressed by every dish. I would say that the refried beans were a bit salty, but the Mexican rice more than made up for that. I took time to write this because it deserves praise and hopefully gains more business as its location is tucked away behind the KFC on Oakdale road.“

“Great food and great prices. The tacos and burritos were great.“

“Excellent food and wonderful service. The owner always greets you with a smile. I always get the carnitas burrito, but today I got a chile relleno. Also excellent. Get in here and get you some!“

“Excellente servicio, conida muy rica! Definitivamente regresamos!“

“We had a fairly large order of family packs for a party. When we got home to Ripon, we found a tray of chicken taquitos was accidentally left out. Franky was kind enough to deliver them to us because our party was starting. The food is great and they are the best! Thanks again!“

“really good service and the food and drinks are fire“

“Amazing place! Come have some delicious food and a great time with family“

“We ordered the tripas tacos and the asada torta.
The tacos were top tier, delicious in every way conceivable, I'd give them a 9/10.
The torta was good, the meat was delicious and was the star of the show. The bread left something to be desired. Overall an average torta.
Great place, highly recommend the tacos.“

“This man has been around for years and has always had some delicious tacos and burritos made with love.“

“Good tacos and people carnitas y cuero“

“Luce served a wonderful breakfast!!!
❤️
Keep our small and delicious businesses open, and treat yourself!
The pancakes were fluffy and wonderful.
The ranhero eggs delish
and the hash-browns nice too!“

“The quality took me back 10+ years. I have not tasted this legitimate quality of burrito and tacos in over a decade. Between the Bay Area, the Southern part of the Central Valley to the Modesto area. It's been over 10 years, and the best Burrito still REMAINS on 8th Street!

The burrito flavor sent chills down my spine, anchoring me to past memories to when quality was worth your money. Customer service I received was also top tier with positive, helpful, and cheerful attitude.

Stopped by in the morning which typically has some homeless strolling around which was typical years ago and apparently seems to have not changed. I'll have to return at night to see if the vibe is still there.

Really enjoyed coming back to this taco truck. Prices are definitely reasonable and when accompanied with my favorite part, coming here is non-negotiable for my family moving forward, even if it takes us driving across town.“

“Las mejores tortas ahogadas 🤭 yum 😋“

“Thank you so much for the amazing food! My mothers celabration for life was amazing, true athentic food. The highest recemedation if you plan a event, they went over and beyound, staff was truly sweet and accommodating. -;))“

“My boyfriend just dropped off a meal for me at my house because I’m not feeling well. WOW! Best chicken enchiladas I ever had! Best RICE. BEST BEANS! I called him and had to know where this food came from. I have never written a review. This is my first. I told him when I’m feeling better this is our new Favorite place.“

“Lo megor de lo megor nosotros venimos des de Redwood City Nomas a comer ay siempre delicioso todo“

“I only came here because Yelp told me these are the best tacos in Modesto. They are not. But the people are cool. Burrito and hot dog was damn delicious. Just not the best tacos in Modesto. And I wouldn’t order the wings again either. But I would go back, because the customer service was that good.“

“I'm literally obsessed with this place. I found out about it on Tiktok. I'm from Turlock so anytime I'm in Modesto I make sure to go. I always get their chicken family pack and it comes with beans, rice, macaroni salad, and lots of corn tortillas. I also get their pork ribs with bbq and omg it's the best! They grill their meat outside so when you pull into the parking lot you could see and smell it. I always take it to go, and they're very fast with your orders and friendly customer service. They have nice seating inside too with big flat screen TV's. Honestly guys I'm Mexican and have tried a lot of places but this place is definitely a hidden gem. A little hole in the wall 🩷“

“Have been going here for the last 8 or 9 years back when they were in woodville. Now I drive 30 mins just to get their delicious food. Have tried numerous taco spots around the valley and without a doubt they have the best food. Have yet to find a better place for an asada burrito a their salsa is the best!“

“The was was good and it's so pretty inside and out.“

“Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices, pleasant atmosphere 🌷🙏💜“

“Just stopped by here, in Modesto for a trip and figured I’d give it a shot. Tacos Al cabron are delicious and pineapple agua Fresca is incredible. The owners are very nice and the food was out so fast. Excellent service and delicious food.“

“great food and service. very clean“

“Solid tacos. Tried the carnitas and pollo. Love that the offer $1.00 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Needed some grilled jalapeños and sliced radishes. Wish they had some outdoor tables to eat there.“

“The rice they make is the best rice ever. Even tops el tequila rice.“

“My wife likes the Menudo that they prepare here. It is one of the places where the flavor of Guadalajara Menudo is best and they always serve you well. Well, at least I don't have any bad experience. Maybe there was a group playing, the truth is, I don't even know if they have live music on Sundays or it was just for that day, but I didn't ask, I owe it to them.“

“We had the corn tortilla tacos last night, fantastic!“

“I was driving by and was really hungry so i decided to stop in this lil shopping center that 3 trucks, but this one had the longest line so i thought it must be worth it....and it was. I got a super asada burrito and a jarrito for $12. The meat was seasoned perfectly and this mans salsa was spicy.“

“Today was the first time I ate here I thought I would try it out and I’m glad I did. The food was amazing. The staff was very pleasant, & the establishment was very clean as well. I ordered a Chile Rellano & a burrito, my sister order a tamale, & the flautas patter. I am always skeptical trying new places but I will keep coming back as the consistency of the food and the taste was just what I like. Thank you for the amazing experience“

“Good tacos and people carnitas y cuero“

“The service was excellent!“

“Fui en la mañana a las delicias y me quedé impresionado con el buen servicio Muy recomendable la comida 10/10“

“Today we had a retirement party at La Parilla with about 35 people. It went flawless! The staff was super helpful and kind. They food was great. Everything was perfect and everyone had a great time. The price point was perfect too. It exceeded my expectations! Thanks La Parilla!!“

“Los busque en San José hoy y me alegro saber que estan más cerca de sonora California, 💯 recomendado😀“

“The food is really good and I come here with my mother all the time. I really like the tacos here, and the service is fantastic with polite employees. This area of downtown isn't really the prettiest, but it's worth the food. I definitely recommend coming here.“

“First time visiting Jalapeño restaurant and I was not disappointed. From the moment I walked in I received a warm welcome and helpful service. We ordered the “big nachos” with shredded chicken. I wish I could share how wonderfully they were presented, however, my husband and I just dived in. Every bit was great.

Music was nice and over all really enjoyed the atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff and definitely will be back soon. 😊“

“We stopped by to do something near by and decided to give them a try. Will definitely be back. Price was $30 and we had tons of food and two aguas frescas. We were happy with the value and flavor. Staff was friendly and accomplished and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. Flavors were very good and food was fresh. Free chips!“

“Loved it delicious service is amazing!!!“

“My go to food truck when I’m in Modesto. Staff is always friendly, food is consistent and there is always parking. Prices are also good, especially when compared to the Bay Area. There are two benches to sit at, but not a lot of shade. Definitely recommend overall.“

“I went here because we drove by and I haven’t been to this flea market in a while. Walked around. Grabbed a churro and was hungry. Stumbled upon this place and I’m glad I did. I ordered a Gordita with asada and my wife ordered 2 tacos. Handmade tortillas and I tried 4 difference salsas. So good. So nice and warm and FRESH! This has to be my new favorite taco truck in Modesto flea market for sure! Thanks Martin and familia! Next time I’ll try the machete. The huge quesadilla! 10/10“

“great service.. have been going there for years..good food.. waitresses are friendly and always greet customers, and always with a smile!!“

“I miss Baja Fresh, the Black Salsa still does it for me. The Burrito I got was good too :) But it's all about the Salsa there for me. I wish there were more of these. Service at this location was excellent and they were super friendly.“

“Absolutely freaking phenomenal food. Best burrito of my LIFE.

If you've ever thought that chicken was always the most boring meat option, give the chicken here a try. It's wonderfully smoky, mixed with the perfect spices and beans and rice in this burrito. It's almost a crime to drown this meat in salsa. . . which is hard not to because the salsa bar is also excellent.

Horchata was also excellent, of course.“
