11 Best Taco Restaurants near Thornton

“Damn this place is good and the lady who operates the truck is excellent. I pulled off the freeway to get some pizza but it looked bad. I asked a San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputy where I could get something good to eat in the area and he said the only option was this truckGlad he did. At Lupita' s truck, I Asked about the queso birria and consomme, thank goodness it was goat, and it was great, the corn tortilla was perfect and chewy and it was the perfect size, similar to a mulita. Very good. The Ant got two pastor tacos and they looked good so I got a pastor sope. I put the consomme on everything for that down and tasty goat flavor. The consomme had finely chopped onions and cilantro -- brilliant idea,tasted great, I'm used to bare bones consomme. The salsa were good, Verde and they had a habenero sauce which was really savory but had a late-acting bite that had me crying -- for joy. So many great other things, I wanted to try the hot Cheetos burrito but I checked out at the last minute. It looked amazing but I'm not as young as I used to be

Vegetarian options: None I think?

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a truck in a parking lot“

“The Tacos Ahijado Truck on Twin Cities Rd on the east side of Hwy 99 is great! Open every day except for Sunday, I think. It is convenient, delicious and a quick place to stop for a bite to eat. The service is friendly, there are always people there, and the food is fairly priced. We got asada and pastor tacos, both had plentiful portions of meat and were very flavorful. The salsa isn’t very spicy, but I’m sure I could have asked for spicier. They come packaged on a plate covered with foil, so make sure not to put them on the passenger seat on the way home!

Galt is known for a plethora of Mexican food choices, but this one is solid! They also own the restaurant in the same parking lot, though I have yet to try it. We recommend it!!!“

“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.“

“More proof that God exists and Loves us. Everything was perfection. My mouth is watering just thinking about this delicious food! We were there in October 2022, I had a Lengua and a Cabeza taco both supreme, and washed it down with a Jarritos Tamarind. I will definitely be back anytime I am anywhere near Lodi.“

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

“I’ve been to most taco trucks within the Galt-Lodi area since this is where I live so I frequent these locations most often. First of all I’ll have to say the location of this truck is genius more times than not I find myself going into the liquor store that it’s parked right next to to get my drinks to go with my meal so that is very convenient. Second as far as quality of food since most taco trucks don’t vastly differ in taste more so in proportions I’d have to say that their spices are what sets them apart their hot options are REALLY hot if that’s your sort of thing other than that it’s nothing special if directly comparing it to other trucks in the area. Lastly the customer service is about what you would expect from a taco truck, they know basic English and can understand you enough to take your order they have always been very friendly and they take out the orders fairly quickly in my experience. All in all solid choice for a food truck, it’s location is what truly sets them apart from the rest.“

“Amazing food! Great family that owns it! Always kind!“

“Man oh man. If you want some amazing taco truck food come here. The Birria taco here is hands down the best around. I've been searching for amazing Birria and they have accomplished that. Too bad they are only open til 5pm. But if you get a chance to come by its well worth it.“

“The location is incredibly convenient making this a really worthy stop passing through town. The truck is clean and the service is very good. I didn’t really care for the salsas but this truck is more in line with a restaurant. You won’t be “

“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!“

“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.“
