I saw him open the outside door behind him I think to get more tortillas. And he kept wiping his hand in his apron. I was truly hoping he was going to change his gloves before grabbing the actual tortilla to put it in the grill since you can even see how dirty the gloves were. He didn't.... I asked him politely if he can please changed his gloves. He got insulted and said you don't have to eat here. I just said you're right. I not. I think it's very nasty. But if you still decide to come here look at how dirty his gloves are.

I will say that I've always been a fan of mobile food trucks as the majority of ones I've been to…read moreover the years have been tacos. However, I had the opportunity trying out one of the more well-known butcher shops to serve San Joaquin County. This is none other than "Fagundes Meats & Catering" which has been a staple in Manteca for decades. Their actual brick-and-mortar location is off of N. Main St/E. Louise Ave in the heart of Manteca while their food truck ventures out to various locations for a variety of community events. In this case, I saw them serving hungry patrons at the Manteca Watermelon Street Fair that took place during the weekend of 6/6/26-6/7/26. To those that know this business already is that they are famous for their tri-tip. In addition to that, they also have other amazing protein options including rib-eye, brisket, pulled pork, Italian sausage, linguica, chicken, and the order I went with, their pork belly. I ended up going with their "Pork Belly Kabobs" and went for the combo deal which included a side (I went with their macaroni salad) and a drink (I opted for a Diet Pepsi). Total price for everything was $17 (which included tax + tip); not bad especially at a public outdoor event. I will say that the pork belly was quite delicious; a little bit on the salty side but nonetheless still a fairly decent portion in each and every bite. I paired it up with their homemade BBQ sauce which had a sweet yet tangy flavor. The macaroni salad was just average for me as it had too much of a vinegar taste while lacking a whole lot of flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this meal as it held me through the majority of the afternoon. I am definitely curious to try their other meats if I end up visiting their actual butcher shop. Overall, the service was excellent considering I was at a busy outdoor event. The line moved quickly while the prices were quite reasonable, even these days where meat prices have become quite outrageous. With that said and done, I am giving the mobile food truck portion of "Fagundes Meats & Catering" an above average four stars. Hopefully I can make a future visit to their butcher shop in the coming months so stay tuned!

I'll be back around to try more menu items but for now, I'd say around a 3.5.

This review is for their catering staff. I recently attended a memorial service reception on…read more6/12/26 that was catered by Brentwood Fine Meats. I The food was good and tasty, however the wait staff they had serving the food was ABSOLUTELY RUDE. It was an older lady and a younger man serving the meats and they were unprofessional, and dismissive to each and every person including the children they were serving. Given this was a memorial service reception, their lack of empathy and professionalism really put a damper on the entire reception. I think you guys can do better and hire better waitstaff.

They're definitely worth the visit and we keep trying different things. During the holidays, they fill the store with panetones and various seasonings and cookies. It's lovely! The warm, nostalgic feeling of the classic butcher shop instantly feels magical.

As someone who is Mexican American and doesn't speak Spanish fluently, shopping here can honestly…read morefeel uncomfortable at times. A lot of the staff automatically assume you speak Spanish, and it's actually pretty rare to find someone working who speaks English well enough to help. Sometimes it feels like it's inconvenient for the staff when you don't speak Spanish, which shouldn't be the case at all. I also found expired cat food while shopping and placed it to the side thinking someone would remove it, but when I came back two weeks later it was STILL sitting there expired. That was really concerning. Another frustrating change is the checkout process. It used to be convenient being able to buy beans, rice, and groceries all together, but now everything has to be done in separate transactions and separate lines, which just makes shopping take longer for no reason. I still go occasionally when I absolutely have to, but honestly if I find somewhere closer and more welcoming, I'd rather shop there instead.

I hope the owner of this place reads this. For being afghan honestly shame on you and your greed…read more We ordered from their cafe side afghan kabob cafe, and were so dissapointed. Their Mantu smelled and tasted stale and yogurt tasted extremely sour. Both their white rice and Uzbeki rice were super oily and had a horrible old oil smell and taste to it, basically they reuse old cooked oil for the rice. It was absolutely disgusting and after a couple bites our stomach felt horrible. Chicken kabob was extremely flavorless and dry, couldn't eat anymore after one bite. Chicken tikka masala was horrible as well what's up with the weird nasty oil after taste? Such a waste of money and time, but also I am truly disappointed in the afghan business owners here. You'll do anything to make more money, even if it's serving low quality food and making people sick, so your pockets can get bigger. What a shame, health department needs to close them down.
