I hate to say it, but this truck has really gone downhill. They used to be my absolute favorite -- I would drive 45 minutes during COVID just to eat here. Every time I came to Stockton, I made sure to stop by for an al pastor and shrimp burrito because they were always so good and FAT. Today I drove from Lodi and left extremely disappointed. The cashier didn't charge me for my horchata, and the cook also missed a taco from my order. When I pointed it out, instead of acknowledging the mistake, he said, "She didn't charge you," even though she did -- I showed him the receipt. He then claimed it was the tax and tried to play it off like he was doing me a favor by giving me a taco "for free." Except... I paid for it. When I finally got my food, I took a bite of my burrito and found beans in it -- even though I specifically asked for no beans. On top of that, the burrito was noticeably smaller than what they used to serve. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Sadly, I won't be making the drive anymore. read more

We like to have office lunches here on Fridays. The food has always been delicious and the service is speedy. The street tacos, quesabirria tacos and fish tacos are all delicious. I recently discovered their sopes and I love them! Order the gravy and queso, we always do and it's a crowd pleaser. read more

So disappointed in the service today. No warning on the shrimp burrito special. It has been discontinued. They don't give the spicy carrots unless you ask. No napkins unless you ask. So different from two weeks ago. I loved coming here every Wednesday. But not anymore. Service is just not the same. Food is still good. read more

This review is specifically for the El Mayita restaurant, not the taco truck. We stopped by and noticed a few people ahead of us placing orders, which felt like a good sign. The staff was friendly, and parking was easy with plenty of spots available. We ordered two quesadillas -- one chicken and one al pastor -- served with onions and cucumber on the side. We also got two aguas frescas de Jamaica, which were tasty and refreshing. The food itself was flavorful, though it did take a bit of time to come out. This definitely isn't a quick bite spot if you're on a time crunch. That said, the pricing is on the higher side for what you get. They also tack on a card fee but don't provide a receipt to show it, which felt a little shady. Unfortunately, while the food tasted good at first, it didn't sit well with our stomachs later on. All in all, we don't visit too often due to the price and wait. Might be worth a try if you're not in a rush -- just be prepared to pay a bit more and wait a little longer. read more

Solid, solid food truck. Located in the plaza of the 86 gas station, El Mayita serves delicious food for a decent price. Their super burrito is definitely big, can be shared with two people haha. I recommend the carne asada for a well rounded choice. The el pastor is amazing if you love the spice. Recommend getting the horchata here and their el mayita sauce. Its a tangy, green sauce that adds an amazing kick for your meal. The horchata is not too cinnamon-y and is the best roadtrip drink. They take cash only! And they also open late into the night so thats a plus too :) read more

Very good cheesy birria tacos. The meat and consume is on par with the best. The shells are also among the best. The size of the tacos are bigger than others that I've had. Excellent prices and well worth it. Recommend eating here for sure. Staff was very helpful and they new their menu without looking at it. Great service. read more

This place is probably the best in Stockton for Flavor, Quality, Cost, and Vibe as far as taco trucks go. We arrived around 8:30 and it was like a small block party, the parking lot was full and groups of families and friends were eating off their trunks or tailgates. Food was served up fast and stayed fresh for the 15 minute drive back home. Carnitas tasted homemade, extra crispy! Asada tasted so fresh it was almost gamey like lamb or non processed meats Chicken taco was the best I've ever had, same for my fiancé Pastor was delicious and not over powering The Serrano peppers they add in each box gives one hell of a kick too! Next time I'm trying the chicken quesadilla and horchata read more

Came all the way to Stockton for this truck specifically! Their shrimp burritos seemed to be well known, but had to go for the al pastor burrito with cheese. I loved how they grilled the tortilla and my only complaint was too much meat! Not something you'd hear from a taco truck often! They also made my order perfectly, no beans, sour cream, and cilantro! The red onions were different. The horchata was super strong, but as the ice melted, it mellowed out and was delicious. I like how they have a refill option for $2 too! read more

I honestly loved coming to this truck so often during undergrad and grad school at UOP - my go-to is a chicken burrito with a horchata. Pros: - SO. FREAKING. GOOD. The food is delicious (best Mexican food in Stockton I think), and the horchata is the perfect amount of sweetness without going overboard - GREAT QUANTITY for your price! Full-on meal and you might have some leftovers. And their horchata cup got even bigger recently - Casual food truck vibes - plenty of parking, you can stand and eat at the truck if you want, my friends and I would try to park next to each other and sit on our trunks (literally I liked this place so much that I requested to come here for my birthday lol) Cons: - can get busy! And I think cash only? read more

5/9/23 - Today is my second time coming to this food truck. Last week for the first time I tried a steak torta; it was huge, but I was unprepared for the slice of meat, I guess it was ham, l didn't eat it!! My only gripe was the bread. They give you so much steak for that kind of bread. They need something thicker like sourdough or a hard bun or some other type of bread that will do it justice. I am Just thinking you can't put it on sourdough or hard bun because even that kind of bread could not hold all that meat!! I don't know, maybe someone in the crew knows of something better, anyway it was delicious and the price was right!! Tonight I had a shrimp burrito, I forgot to tell the cashier that I wanted extra sour cream, without it, it is too dry. I am glad I asked for the hot sauce and the green sauce (salsa verde) because I would not have been able to eat it. So from now on I must ask for extra sour cream. The best thing I did was get something to drink, but even that was flat. McDonald 's Sweet Tea used to be the bomb, but now it taste like swamp water. I think I am going to stop ordering it and just get a coke because this is like the fourth or fifth time that this has happened to me. I know for sure no one checks it. I was lucky one evening, they were making a new one, it was still warm and melted all the ice, but the sweetness was Heaven!! El Mayita was busy as ever, they really never have down time once the dinner rush comes on. read more

Four stars mainly for their taste in food and preparation. Could have possibly been a five star if the young lady the window was more customer oriented. We stood waiting at the window to order. She said nothing to us until I asked if this is the correct window to place our order. Then she says yes it is, it'll just be a few minutes. She proceeded to restock cups and then we realized she was ALSO waiting i a customer from before, to return to pay the rest of his tab . So that alone called for a deduction in a star rating But going back to the food. Once our order for four was placed, it was ready fairly quickly. And tasted really good. This is a food truck that stays busy all times of the day and is located right off of the freeway and shares a parking pair with a 76 gas station. They have been here for awhile now. read more

I have going here every week. This truck is busy. However, during my last visit when I went to pick up my order, I saw this.

Cashier checked my 10 because she suspected it was fake lol I used to come here a bunch but they must have new owners. They skimp on all ingredients.

Went to the brick and mortar because the truck does not accept cards. The staff were friendly and patient explaining what the various dishes were.(I don't speak Spanish). The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. But the food was AMAZING! I had birria tacos - so big and full of meat I could only eat one. Value and price were excellent. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place has the best shrimp burrito ever. And they're not stingey with their shrimp either! The burrito is spicy and flavorful, one of the best shrimp burritos I've ever had. You don't even need extra sauce to taste all of the flavor. Even though I've moved out of the area, I cannot find a shrimp burrito as delicious as this one. I'm always excited to try this place when I'm around! The only con I can think of is that they're cash-only. read more

El Mayita and the food truck next to it that sells Queso tacos (Birrialandia) are my favorite taco trucks in Stockton whenever I visit family there. It's always a great vibe being there and the workers taking your order always provide good customer service. If I ever want regular tacos El Mayita is the best option as they have more variety in meat. I love the quesdaillas and mulitas from both trucks also. The sauce they put in them are spicy though, but you can ask them to not include it if that's too much for you. The queso tacos from the other truck is sometimes inconsistent when it comes to the amount of cheese they give you though. I also always recommend their horchata as well. read more

Hit the SPOT Quick and easy to order. Great tacos de birra y de tripas. RECOMMEND TO EAT HERE.

My partner and I aren't happy to be writing this review. We generally enjoy coming to get takeout here, but while my partner was eating his pastor fries he spit out a piece of metal while in mid-bite. It is sharp on one end but thankfully there was no damage to his mouth. I tried to find a phone number to call and let them know about what had happened (since were home) but I could only find the number on the Yelp page in the pictures tab. Trying that number i was able to get into contact with someone but they hung up on me, probably was the incorrect number? But either way, we just want to let others know about this. I'd feel horrible if this had happened to like a child or had been swallowed! We do really love this food joint they're very friendly and have tasty food, but we may take a break from coming back for a bit. read more

So disappointing, cash only plus tax, no salsa bar and the $12 plus tax featured "birria ramen" looks nothing like their advertised photo and is flavorless soup with meat and old noodles that are broken and stuck together from not being fresh.

The quality of food and service have declined over the years. I would have highly recommended this Mexican food truck in the past, based on the Birria and the Jamaica alone, but not today. The location is convenient and a decent area. The ambiance is what I suspect from a food truck. read more

If you enjoy the authenticity of hard workers believing in sharing their food, I recommend street food. And as for street food, many are found on food trucks. This is a large food truck where I counted three cooks. I ordered three carne asada tacos with everything on it. Everything on it was cilantro, onion, and their hot sauce over the beef in two tortillas. Also included were caramelized onions and grilled pepper on the side. The sauce has a unique taste which appeared to have a slight hint of barbecue sauce. The food was delicious. The truck is parked at a gas station with unmarked parking space. So some had a hard time getting out due to double parking. I didn't get the elegance of fine dining, but I did get the fast street taco atmosphere. I recommend this place for cravings for street tacos. read more

My husband said this is the best shrimp burrito he's ever had in his entire life! and that's saying a lot because he is definitely a burrito connoisseur. All the food is made to order.

This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last. read more

It used to be good with great value ~5 years ago. I even referred my friends to go there. I agree with those reviews about the poor customer service and price gauging. Here are the facts: After Covid, taking advantage of inflation situation, price gauging like hell. For example, how do you justified taco price from $1.50 to $2.50. This is ~70% increase. Is our inflation rate at 70% ? Of course not. They are charging restaurant prices (some items even higher) without restaurant expenses and ambient. In addition, short change us on all the condiments, sauces...etc. Have you look at the sauce package. It is very tiny, less than one tea spoon. Before was much more. Food taste about the same as before. More varieties but much less value per price now. Charging us the tax now but we have to pay cash only. Give me a break. I don't believe they report everything to the IRS for their cash transactions. Also, food trucks have no water supply hookup. Think about how do they clean the food and their hands before giving to you. Last but not least, horrible rude customer service. The cashier. So unhelpful, unfriendly and just pure rude. I would never re-visit this place and don't recommend anyone do. They are many better other choices out there. We should boycott this place until they get their acts right or just close down. I wouldn't feel sad about it. Don't be a sucker. read more

What a little gem in Stockton. We were on the way home from Tahoe and a friend of ours HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this truck. A gas station taco truck? I guess.. We were not disappointed. I ordered 2 pastor tacos, and 1 carne asada taco. My boyfriend got the pastor burrito. Both were so damn good. Affordable too. I actually just had the leftover half of his burrito for lunch. Yum. Both the carne asada and pastor meats were yummmm.... Will be back.... read more

Something Changed This was my fave truck. Been going for over a year and everything ordered has been consistently delicious! In spite of the rude cashier-lol, its the only truck I chose to go to, the good food was worth it. But the last couple of times our al pastor tacos were completely tasteless. The 1st time this happened about a month ago I figured it was just an 'off' day. But it happened again when we went back last week. I don't know what's going on and I am sure we'll give it another try, but we're also looking around for another option. read more

Cash only! My boss and I love getting food here. I think they're pricier than other food trucks but it's 100% worth it. I always get the quesa-birria tacos because I'm usually starving after work. 10/10. read more

We visited the truck on March Lane this past weekend. When I tell you this place was busy, I felt like we were pulling in to a movie premiere with the amount of traffic pulling in. They are stationed next to a 76 gas station and parking can be limited due to the popularity of this truck. I got a bit flustered initially with the parking situation but eventually found a spot and figured since its so busy, it must be good. I was RIGHT! The lady taking our order was very pleasant and paid special attention to the details of our order. We ordered a bunch of tacos, carnitas, asada, pastor, chicken, fish and a quesadilla. Two horchatas and two jamaicas. Our order was called and the young guy expediting our order was super friendly and I felt provided great customer service to everyone, even with special requests he complied without flinching. Our order was up and when I tell you I squealed when I opened my box, I literally squealed! I had 3 carnitas tacos and they were loaded with crispy, flavorful carnitas as well as onions, cilatro and salsa. The side condiments were lime, a grilled serano chile, radishes, and beautifully grilled onions. We asked for extra salsa and while the salsa on the tacos was flavorful, it wasn't too spicy, so I drizzled the extra salsa over my tacos. This salsa needs to be bottled and sold for home consumption! It was sooo good! These were very authentic and everything about these tacos told me, we need to come back again and again! Its a 30 min drive from us but I was sold! The ratings for the other tacos were a little scattered. The fish taco could have been skipped. Hubby said it was just ok. Daughter said the quesadilla could have used more cheese. It did look a little dry. The jamaica tasted refreshing and the horchata for me was next level! Loved the horchata! For $2.50 they give you a giant drink! Almost as big as a big gulp! We drank it for 2 days straight! Totally worth the price! We paid $40 for a bunch of tacos and 4 drinks and I have to say, I'd do it again! read more

El Mayita - These tacos are FIRE! - Food Trucks Near Me - Stockton, California

I ordered a burrito de carnitas. The flavor and spice of it was yummy. In fact I normally love adding more salsa to my burrito but this burrito didn't need that. I could eat it just like how it was served. However, what I did not like about the carnitas was that they gave me mostly buche I think. I hate buche. I have a texture problem where I don't like squishy meat and that is how it tasted. I had to open my burrito and take out all those pieces which were a lot. The horchata was okay. It tasted differently from what I am used to. The next time if I ever come here I'll probably try the carne asada or something other than Carnitas because I did not like the carnitas too much. read more

El Mayita - Burrito - Food Trucks Near Me - Stockton, California

After recently moving to Stockton was told this is 'the place' for tacos. Straggling near the 76 gas station off of March lane next to the 5 freeway, I thought I'd give them a try. They have fair prices, the top being their super burrito at around $10. Taco and meat quality was good, only downfall was they overwhelm their quality with their mayita sauce (spicy). I'm always up for a nice kick but it takes over all the ingredients they have. Overall will be a convenient place to grab some tacos when that craving hits. Parking is shared with the 76 gas station and of course please wear a mask to protect others- read more

January 7, 2023... I order 6 regular tacos and a large Horchata water. Prices on the truck say $2.50 per taco and $6 for the large water (Plus tax) Tacos would be $15 and $6 for my water comes out to $21 if my math ain't wrong. Cashier tells me its $31 and some change.. I ask her to repeat my order and she had 7 tacos.... I told her i only asked for 6.. She proceeded to loudly say "I have 7 written down" I told her i only asked for 6!!! She told me she will refund for the extra taco. She gave me back $2.58. I ended up paying $28 and change for what should've been $21 plus tax... $7 for taxes don't add up to me.. Horrible customer service and no clear way to know what's been charged since they do not give you a receipt. read more
