I had been following Joel on Instagram for a while wanting to try his churros. His arrival time at his site can vary somewhat so when you see he posts on his instagram stories, then you know for sure he's there and ready. So it's worth following him on instagram to see when he posts on his IG stories at joelv.churros or Joel's Churros. His churros are so delicious and I haven't had churros this good since having them in Mexico for Christmas as a kid. His churros are the most authentic ones I've had personally on this side of the border. He's set up in the parking lot of Viva Supermarket to the right front entrance of the lot. Joel is under a white tent in this part of the parking lot and makes the churros fresh to order. You can order them with fillings (condensed milk, strawberry, or caramel). My favorite fillings wise was the caramel but, the churros are plenty sweet and delicious on their own without fillings. Joel is very generous with how many churros he puts in the bag, so pricing wise it's a very good deal. He also offers services to cater to events. His churros are the best I've personally had that aren't from Mexico. For forms of payment he accepts cash, zelle, or Apple Pay.

I'm spoiling this best-kept secret as a way to support local small business! Authentic, deliciosos churros can be acquired at Joel's Churros (@joelv.churros on Instagram) street stand out in front of Viva Supermarket (Marysville Blvd), evenings 6:30-9:00 PM. Look for the white folding canopy! The sun goes down later in the summertime if you're worried about the area/location and still need your sugar fix...or bring a friend or two along to partake in the churrific cinnasweetness. Regular sugar-only churros (sencillo) are cheaper ($2 each) than the filled kind (con relleno), and filled ones run about $3 each. I got one each of the strawberry (fresa), caramel (cajeta), and sweet condensed milk (lechera). The way these churros are made reminds me of the Churros Union De Tula truck that used to be in Woodland, where you could get the whole 9-foot churro "roll" for $9. There was a bit of a line/wait on my first visit but man, it is worth the wait. Perfect thickness and crisp crunch outside, soft and warm inside. The strawberry filling was my favorite! Too bad they don't have chocolate as an option, I'd be all over that. I didn't catch a photo of his phone number, but he also does catering for events! He accepts cash, Zelle, and Apple Pay. Someday in a perfect world, there would be a standalone churrería on every corner...until then, I'm grateful that Joel drives all the way down from Yuba City to set up shop and share these wonderful sweet street treats with the residents of Sactown.

We were really craving churros after dinner with some friends and on the hunt for the best churro spot and stumbled upon Joel's Churros! We loved it so much that we decided to come back a week later, and after being blown away by the quality, we asked him to help cater an event for us. It was great working with him while coordinating for our event, and it was a huge hit and surprise for our friends, since they know just how much I love churros! Everyone really enjoyed choosing from different fillings and especially enjoyed eating them. His churros are perfect - with a crispy exterior and fluffy center, you'll always want to come back for more!

Everything about this taco stand embodies excellence. There's of course, the flavor; these are some…read moreof the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. Of note, the salsa rojo at the self-serve condiment station carries quite the spicy sting. Next is the authenticity; they display their entire cooking process from homemaking the tortillas to serving the tacos fresh off the grill. It's occupied by two employees hustling away and running operations like a well-oiled machine. Despite arriving at the same time as two other customers, I had my order ready in 7 minutes. Last is the value. Part of what made my experience so enjoyable is only paying $12 for 4 exceptional tacos (Zelle accepted). Blink and you'll miss it. The stand is set up in the parking lot of a boarded up business immediately off the main road. Get ready to turn right or you'll have to make a U-turn.

Found this place randomly as I was driving and stopped to try it for a very late dinner. There's a…read moresoft service bar for the sauces and toppings along with a small parking lot. Service was fast;however, I was surprised by the price of $33 for 1 pastor burrito, 1 pastor vampirio and 3 tacos. One of my gripe is if a place doesn't list their prices so I'm basing off my knowledges from previous reviews and I had assumed the tacos would be $3 each. But onto the food: Asada taco: beef, chewy and tough but substantial Pastor taco + pastor burrito: the best cut of meat. It was hot when I got it and it was very good. Well marinated. Pollo taco: you can probably skip this, the chicken is a little bit plain and dry Vampirio: similar to a tiny quesadilla. Two crispy tortillas with cheese + meat sandwich in between Overall the place is decent if you're getting the pastor meat. I do like the self service but I wish the price of the items were more transparent

I came in expecting a good cup of coffee and left realizing this place is about something much…read morebigger. The Americano here is easily the best I've had--bold, full of flavor, and not watered down like you get at a lot of bigger chain spots. You can tell it's made with intention. It actually tastes like coffee is supposed to taste. The pastries were just as impressive. The Biscoff cheesecake was rich and balanced without being overly heavy, with that warm, caramelized flavor that really stands out. The blueberry muffin tasted fresh and real--not overly sweet, just done right. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone. The music is calm and relaxing, the chairs are genuinely comfortable (not the typical stiff coffee shop seating), and the entire space feels less like a business and more like sitting in a welcoming home--a nice home where you actually want to stay awhile. But what really sets this place apart is the experience. Abdul didn't just take our order-- he genuinely engaged with us. He was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the concept behind the space, including how it connects to the location and atmosphere. That kind of interaction is rare, and it completely changed the tone of the visit. This isn't a place you rush in and out of. It feels built for conversation--for sitting down, slowing down, and actually connecting with the people you're with. It's a refreshing change from the typical coffee chain experience where everything feels standardized and transactional. Another standout is that the menu is halal, which makes this an easy and welcoming choice for anyone looking for halal options without having to second guess what they're ordering. If you're looking for more than just caffeine--if you want a place that values community, comfort, and real human connection--this is absolutely worth your time. This place reminded me what a coffee shop is supposed to be.

Maybe it was just my timing? I went in about 11 am and the shelves were bare! It as a Monday. The…read moreminimal things that were on the shelf looked u see cooked. Not a single item looked even a slight of tan. I did end up getting my daughter a chocolate macaron. I usually try things I get for my kids but didn't so I can't really rate the actual dessert. The customer service was absolutely non existent. No greeting even though we were the only ones there or that walked in however, it did look clean.
