Lins B.

First off service is great. Cute restaurant. Lighting and potential there I ordered the asada taco salad with a side of flour tortillas. My usual. It looked like the child lunch menu. I spent 22 dollars ! Had like a half a cup of asada that fit in half the burrito. A scoop of rice on the side. The salsa.....especially green... was delicious. But the price doesn't equate the amount of food. Do better. Because your staff deserves that.

Mexican platters
Charlotte M.

We came for a Soroptimist mixer tonight and they accommodated us in their banquet room. Our server Stephanie went above and beyond to help me with the audio visual for a video we needed for our presentation and she was also very attentive to our needs as a small group. We ordered the Mexican platter and it was very good. I would definitely come back to Octavio's.

Steak and chicken combo

Awesome service, great margarita, fajitas and tacos. Always stop in when in Stockton

Steph M.

So, where shall I begin...with the rude waitress or, the "Taste of Mexico" as they call it. Ok, waitress rude af, nuff said about her. The food was so not authentic Mexican food. The shrimp cocktail deserves its own warning label. The shrimp were soggy, watery, and somehow both rubbery and mushy at the same time--an impressive achievement, just not a good one. The cocktail sauce tasted like someone mixed ketchup with regret, and the whole dish arrived barely chilled, which is never a good sign when seafood is involved. I got something that felt like it came straight from the bargain freezer section and thawed in someone's pocket. Absolutely would not order again. Now let's discuss part 2: The "Guacamole tostado" I wish I could say this guacamole and bean tostada was merely disappointing, but it was downright tragic. The tostada shell was def store bought and absorbed the sadness in the kitchen. The beans were canned or had the texture of something that definitely needed a few more minutes of cooking (or maybe a complete rethink). The guacamole was the real heartbreak: flavorless, and suspiciously pale--more like someone whispered "avocado" over a bowl and called it a day. I'm thinking Costco. Even the toppings looked tired, as if they, too, regretted being part of this dish. Overall, this experience was a flavorless letdown. I wouldn't come back here again even if it came here a refund and an apology.

Chips

Support local! I am trying to be better about supporting local so I have been venturing out of my usual spots and trying new places. I've been to Octavio's twice now and I have mixed feelings about it. Chips-standard Salsa-good flavor with a little kick Beans-ok Rice-weird flavor, imo I have tried the chicken and beef tacos and subbed the standard corn tortilla for flour which I LOVE. Both were really good. Lots of meat with sauce, cheese and lettuce. I also tried their Desnuda seasonal margarita in strawberry...DELICIOUS! I'd go back just for the taco and marg, lol. Downside-Pepsi products...YUCK! The interior is that of a typical Mexican restaurant. It has a good amount of seating but the bar area is small. Downside-please update your restrooms. The service was excellent on both occasions, very friendly and attentive and I appreciate that more and more these days. Downside-a little pricier than your average Mexican food but that could be the location.

Carnitas Nachos
Karl K.

Came here for lunch and had the carnitas nachos. They were pretty good tasting and a large portion. Wait staff was attentive.

Chicken soup

I come every week for my lunch and its pretty good food lm never disappointed. The service is great as well I come to often the cooks have my order memorized.

Octavio's is the best! To update my review from before, my family and I love this place! Even with a busy Mother's Day crowd, their staff was top notch and on it. The food came out hot and ready. Some things we ordered were the chilaquiles, tacos and quesadillas which were tasty and fresh. Be sure to support local. I am going around telling my work buddies to buy here. They even have the back room that can be reserved for parties and such. Definitely will return.

Chicken enchiladas
Reina M.

First time here and it was okay . I order enchiladas and a shrimp taco . Shrimp taco barely had any shrimp, tortilla was not cooked all the way but the green salsa was really good , still not worth the price of one taco . Enchilada plate was good, could do without the rice . The gravy sauce was just the right amount . Overall the restaurant was really nice and had ambiance and the service was great .

I should have listened to the reviews. Dissatisfied about the food and price. You're better off stopping by the taco truck.

Our table was right next to a metal utility rack they were using to store menus and cleaning products. That's fine, but my head was close to a spray bottle and a bottle of Lysol, which wasn't ideal. They were very busy, so we had high hopes for great food. Unfortunately, many of the items were bland. The beans and rice were especially underwhelming, with very little flavor--you can tell from the picture that the rice is basically plain white rice. My flautas were crunchy with fresh toppings, but the meat lacked flavor. My meal came with a bowl of fideo, but it wasn't delivered before my meal like it was for other tables. In fact, I had to ask for it after our food arrived, which makes me think I wouldn't have received it otherwise. After we finished eating, it took about 15 minutes to get our check. The servers were clearly very busy, but it would have been nice to leave sooner. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The noise level was overwhelming, and the food was just okay. If I did return, I wouldn't order anything that comes with beans and rice.

The prickly pear margarita tasted more like a pink Jolly Rancher than anything else, which just wasn't for me. My fajitas were alright, but they came without any sour cream or guac and the pico was mainly onion. When I asked the waiter, he told me they don't come with it, even though the menu said otherwise. Without those, the fajitas ended up being really dry. I ended up just paying and getting ready to leave, but when I grabbed a menu again and asked about it, they apologized and offered me chips and salsa to go, which I appreciated. The staff was very nice throughout, but the whole experience felt a bit disorganized. Overall, it just didn't feel like a good value for the money, and I left pretty underwhelmed.

The restaurant is small and not in the greatest location, but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back!

I went with the build-your-own combo plate and chose a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and beef flautas. My entire plate was delicious, including the rice and beans. The homemade tortillas were so fresh and tasty. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their food. We split the three-piece quesabirria tacos, and they were excellent. I chose the gravy cheese enchilada for my combo plate, but I also tried my partner's green chili chicken enchilada--both were great. You can choose between red, green, or gravy sauce for the enchiladas, and I definitely want to try the red next time. Don't be turned off by the unassuming storefront and corner location.

It was our second time eating at La Mesa. It was my birthday yesterday and my boyfriend asked me…read morewhere I wanted to go. I chose La Mesa because the first time we went I was very impressed with the delicious drinks and the short rib enchiladas. The atmosphere is so special and intimate whether you're on a date or with family. Both times we went, our servers were friendly and checked on us appropriately. Our server yesterday was handling making drinks at the bar and serving other tables that were there for Valentine's Day, but she still provided us with really good customer service (not sure of her name but she was wearing a pink shirt). We ordered a few drinks that included a strawberry horchata with rum, and a special one for Valentine's Day called the cupids kiss. They really stood out to me with how cute and yummy they were. For an appetizer, we ordered birria French fries. I was surprised that it had the consommé because I assumed it would make the fries soggy.... But it did not! They were AMAZING. The birria was tender and delicious, the flavor had a lot of depth in the consommé. For our entrees, we both cannot get enough of the short rib enchiladas with the mole sauce. They are our favorite. I really am just grateful that there is a restaurant like this that cares about the food they share with their customers. In the past, we ate at restaurants for my birthday where they didn't take as much pride or care about what they served. My birthday dinner at La Mesa felt very special to me and my boyfriend. Thanks a bunch we look forward to our return visit!

As for the crispy tacos, there's a big difference between tacos that are freshly and properly fried and those that are overcooked in rancid oil. Unfortunately, what I received fell into the latter category, which is simply unacceptable. The service was also lackluster and apathetic. ----------- Jeff Berretta, no one is questioning the quality of the products served at your restaurants--La Mesa, Market Tavern, or Prime Table. The real issue is that your kitchen is ruining these high-quality ingredients. Perhaps you should try sampling them yourself to ensure better quality control. Additionally, before criticizing your customers online, I suggest you act with more professionalism. I regularly dine at your locations in Stockton and Dublin. While I do find your food overpriced and the service rather pretentious, that's not my main concern here. The real problem is your attitude. Next time I visit Market Tavern, I intend to address this with you in person and see if you live up to the online persona you project. Wishing you all the best in your role until then.
