    Chilaquiles verdes
    Lizbeth Z.

    This place is my favorite for chilaquiles verdes. The coffee is delicious; everything is really good. I have never had a bad meal. I love how everyone is so nice and friendly. It's a small place, and sometimes you have to wait, but no longer than 10 minutes for a table, and it's so worth it. It's a family-owned restaurant, and they make you feel like one of their family members. Trust me, give this place a try, and I'm sure you will fall in love like I did.

    Super burrito with Al Pastor and Cubana in the background.

    Amazing food and service! Parking lot is quite small and there's some street parking. We always get the Al Pastor burrito and horchata, both are a must!

    Lalos! My friend recommended lalo's years ago but I haven't had a chance to come until recently. My boyfriend and I were craving Mexican food and we wanted to try out different places. The Mexican food scene here isn't great, so we usually go to Stockton for our cravings. Upon arrival, it's right next to an unassuming gas station and the area is a little rough. Don't be fooled though, great food is right through the door! Hands down, one of the best horchatas I have ever had. Good horchata is hard to come by, it's usually too grainy or watery or not creamy enough. Lalo's horchata is fan-freaking-tasting. It was so creamy and perfectly sweet. I could drink a liter of it. Also the price ?! Amazing. I would come here just for my horchata fix. Their al pasta quesadilla is delicious, the meat is seasoned perfectly with bits of pineapple. It goes so well with the cheese and grilled flour tortilla. I have also had their deep fried corn quesadilla but not nearly as good as their grilled flour quesadillas. Make sure to ask for their delicious salsa to go along with your food! Shoutout to their complimentary chips and beans. I dream of those refried beans, it's so flipping good. I can't wait to come back!

    Food was great. We got barbacoa, consomé, chilaquiles, and quesadillas, all were tasty. Pineapple agua was also very good and the staff was very nice and checked on us multiple times.

    Their food is very authentic, the fried quesadilla is bomb! My family loved their plates, my father in law loved the fact the meat was tender and not greasy, even the caldo (soup) was not greasy which surprised him, he really loved it. Their agua frescas are so delicious and the melon one definitely gives me flashbacks to my childhood, they make it perfect!! The service was really good, every time we go in they are super busy but they are pretty fast and they make sure to check up on you. It also has a homey feel to it, almost feels like you're at your grandmothers house for breakfast! This place is a must try!

    Barbacoa enchiladas
    Ivan J.

    Great flavor in food. I added barbacoa to my enchiladas. It's a must try! They were busy but super accommodating.

    Food was average Mexican. Ordered the popular barbacoa and it was dry and plain. Definitely needed the dipping sauces it came with. You have to order tortilla too separately also. It was served on tin foil. And another tin foil came with onions and pickles. Kinda old. I mean they could have used the paper plates that we got to eat with? Not sure why this dish is so popular. Also got a wet burrito with carnitas. That was better but it had burnt crispy rice instead of white. Not sure if that was normal. Also tasted very grainy. But the seasoning and red sauce was good. Also got a deep fried chicken quesadilla. It was nicely flavored and crunchy with a loaded topping of lettuce. The service was horrible. Unfriendly middle age women that didn't seem to care to serve us. Brought our food out randomly so we ate one dish at a time. It was not busy. When i went to pay the old woman didn't speak English or knew our order and didn't have our order slip so i had to explain what we got. A second woman came to help but still couldn't figure it out. Our waitress finally came over and got the my ordered sorted and took my card to pay. When I got the receipt I realized I didn't have to sign or fill in for tip so I asked, "How do I tip?" Waitress said, "cash". I said i don't have cash, that's why I paid with a card. She got annoyed, threw her hands in the air and rolled her eyes. I just waked away. I did find two dollars in my wallet and left it even though even she was rude. Overall, food was fine. Not sure why the reviews are so high for this place. Must be an off day. Oh well. I won't be back.

    Delicious lamb stew

    Great place and full of flavor ! A small hole in the wall but worth visiting ! All the food was hot and fresh full of flavor ! The service was great and fast ! The ladies that work there are sweet and attentive ! I will be returning for more menu options ! Definitely great for family dinners and large group gatherings.

    Hawaiian(ish) Torta.
    Nicole b.

    Come on, you guys! Like really? I mean, I haven't even tried any of my other food, but literal first bite and it's thins (partial pineapple when there's already not that much on my torta)? Left a bad taste in my mouth!

    Taco el pastor and carnitas
    Alexandra L.

    Hidden gem! Cheap, gives lots of food Enchiladas: a lil spicy, good even distribution of toppings. I like how its not overrun by rice. Beans look like canned refried beans but they aren't ! Tastes pretty good. They give you 4 large pieces. . Tacos: gave good amount of meat, very filling . Super Burrito el pastor: a lil spicy, very full burrito, well packed

    Marinated pork and asada tocos
    Ron G.

    Decent spot for the price but definitely nowhere near the best around. Good setting and a nice staff. I only had the tacos and they were packed full of meat compared to most place around here but the flavor wasn't favorite. Still a good place to come and have lunch or dinner but I would recommend a combination plate if you're dinning in.

We didn't come there for that and i think it'll be a long time before I go back. I love the food, but allowing these peddlers to annoy and abuse me customers is not okay.

Let's just say it make sense why the lot is full. The service was beyond reproach. Our server was attentive and detail oriented and never felt us feeling ignored. I couldn't see the bottom of the complimentary chips and salsa and the food came out hot and delicious. The three meat molcajete with traditional salsa verde (a family recipe according to the menu), pinto beans, radish, freshly roasted jalapeño, green onions, and sautéed cactus. Topped with Monterey Jack, Cotija, and Panela cheese was the star of the show. You assemble everything in a nice flour tortilla and you are in for a delectable and savory treat. The portion sizes are generous and the price point given the amount of food is also very attractive. We shared the molcajete and had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. I always wondered why the parking lot was so full but I longer have to wonder and I'll be contributing to the busy traffic in the parking lot because I'll be back for another round of molcajete.

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food! I highly recommend the Al pastor as your protein choice and honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu!
