Stopped by S.J. Taqueria today and it absolutely delivered. We ordered four carne asada tacos (everything) and two shrimp tacos, and every bite was on point. The carne asada was flavorful, tender, and cooked just right--classic, no shortcuts. Onions and cilantro were fresh, the salsas had real heat and balance, and the tortillas held everything together perfectly. The shrimp tacos were a great contrast--lighter, well-seasoned, and done with care. Nothing greasy, nothing rushed. Just solid food made by people who clearly know what they're doing. What I really appreciate about S.J. Taqueria is the consistency. This is the kind of taco truck you come back to because you know you're going to get quality, every time. Quick service, friendly vibe, and food that speaks for itself. If you're in Modesto and craving tacos that actually hit, this is a stop you won't regret. read more

SO GOOD ! I had the sopes, pastor tacos, and tripa tacos. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The tripa was nicely crispy, and the pastor had amazing seasoning. Friendly staff and quick service. Great street-style vibe--nothing fancy, but that's what makes it feel authentic and enjoyable. Definitely a go-to spot! read more

Our work is nearby so my colleagues and I often order from here. Great service, food always tastes fresh and I prefer to support small business than the fast food places nearby. read more

We visit this place often. Probably once a week. And we always have a big order. But today I was so frustrated with the customer service that was given. Every time the older gentleman is working he is always so nice, helpful, and his food is ALWAYS ON POINT. But when the 2 ladies work specifically the one answering the phones and passing out the orders tonight, she has tattoos ... her phone manors were extremely rude was in a rush to take my order and was irritated because we had a big order you could tell by how she was talking and responding, we go to pick up the food and were at the window paying, we paid and she handed the bag to us had beans all over it we ask for more napkins she replied with attitude "there's napkins in the bag, hands over a stack of napkins and slams the window shut". So sorry to inconvenience you for extra 2 cent napkins, and maybe next time when I'm ordering listen because you made my order wrong . Attitude towards a paying customer is WILD to me. The ONLY REASON I gave 4 starts instead of 5 was because of the reputation the elderly gentleman still has with me. read more

My tacos were delicious! The tripas were crispy and full of flavor and the salsa was perfect, not too spicy but still had heat to it. The owners are very friendly and give great customer service. They are my go to when I'm in Modesto! read more

This has really delicious food. I love the Carnitas. I love the El store. I love the chicken. I love the nachos super nice people who make great food. It's quick it's fast. It's delicious. The only thing is they aren't allowed to sell drinks, which is not fair to them, but I love their breakfast burritos. I think there's some of the best in town especially with chorizo and potatoes. I highly recommend this taco truck. read more

I would say the burritos are my favorite in town but kinda pricey but well worth it.

got the california burrito; was very filling and good but was a bit dry and could have used more cream and/or beans. good if youre at mjc and want a quick trip for something to eat read more

Me personally I did not like the burrito and I'm a burrito lover but I went becouse it had good comments but no it's not the spot

Just went to this taco truck on Friday 8/19/22, I got the Flautas à la cart, normal price was $9. They charged me $8. Back today to grab a burrito for my husband asked for flauntas a la cart, now they are $10. Literally there was a tablespoon of half of beans and maybe 2 tablespoons of rice. You're better off going to El Roselle. Their flavors have drastically changed and their quality is not as great I think they're very overpriced. Regardless of the price of things nowadays for a taco truck they're severely overpriced. read more

The prices have essentially doubled since a few years ago. Can't fault them for that, it's just the crazy world we live in now. Customer service is good. But the food has no flavor! I got the burrito supreme, no rice , light beans. It was good size and filling, but literally no flavor or seasoning. read more

Best nachos ever !! So much meat and such an affordable price ! Just discovered this taco truck not to long ago and I'm so glad I did. read more

I,ve been her before last year and i do admit, a decent place for chow. I bought for my famia. 3 supremo Burritos and 12 tacos all for 27$. The food was very well balanced in ingredients and tasty. Pretty good for street food from a truck. ...As always keep exploring... read more

Just went today for some tacos and wasn't disappointed! I enjoy my tacos with grilled onions and every time i go they're consistent with their food. Price change doesn't really bother me because everything is going up in price. read more

Best Taqueria Truck Ever!!! So delicious! Authentic GOOD QUALITY FOOD! Fresh! Great Taste! Friendly and Fast service, you can place the order over the phone if you don't want to wait. They even have two types of salsa, spicy and non-spicy. Meat is Nice and tender. My favorite place to go when I'm hungry, or even for just a snack! You can't let this taco truck pass by, you must try ATLEAST once, and I assure you, You will be back! Try it! You won't regret it read more

The carnitas burrito is a thing of beauty. I highly recommend trying this place, prices are good too

ON my quest to find the best taco trucks in the area, I was coming back from my workout and was very hungry. I came across this truck on the corner street where there were some auto business' I'm sure glad I pulled over. $1 tacos & $3.50 a burrito!!! Since it was close to dinner time i ordered 2 tacos. I ordered an asada & a carnitas taco. The asada taco was OK but the carnitas taco was the one!!! I Ordered it extra crispy and it was done perfectly. I will definitely come by this truck again and give them a whirl!!!!! PS Don't get them confused with San Jose Taqueria. They are no way affiliated with them. I asked them and they felt kinda offended.....oooops! read more

Don't mind the one stars on the reviews for this spot, those fools are trippen. This spot is the the one to fulfill your hunger and treat your taste buds. I LOVE this spot!!! No matter where I'm at, I always make the trip out here! To say the food is amazing is an understatement, it is to die for!! The beef and chicken is very clean not too fatty and they aren't stingy with the onions radish and lemon! Give this truck/trailer a try!! You'll be hooked instantly!! read more

This place is great!! The food is very delicious, they have many options to chose from & the workers are very nice!

Customer Service is good until you try to return Tacos that were stacked on top of each other and you request new ones in they're place. They were rude and lost a great customer of 5+years read more

Used to love going to this place..food was amazing service was spot on..but now 4 yrs later. Service has gone downhill..orders always not on point..always trying to over charge me...and food prices have gone up but quality down the tubes...I was basically was just called a liar of what I ordered...I think I will start going to a different truck..... read more

Having to change my 5 star review because this is almost a completely different truck now. My office has frequented SJ for years. All agreed it was the best in town. Looks like they got some help, some big changes were made, it's just not the same. Quality of the food has changed, prices have changed (I can understand that and would be happy to pay the higher prices for the older product). They no longer sell drinks.... And after placing an office order via telephone, I got there to find out they now only accept cash. Bummer. Had to walk away. Sadly, this was our last visit ever to SJ. Now it's just a taco truck that I used to know. read more

So much flavor ordered a supreme burrito and it was delicious my new go to place it's a must try the chicken quesadilla is delicious as well

Great burritos. Fresh and fast. Close by my work so for me it's always quick easy lunch. Can't beat the $5 burrito supreme.

I've had this taco truck at least 5 times, the first couple of times it was okay, but recently the last thing I had from here was a quesadilla. And to be honest it's just not good. It just falls in the category of a typical taco truck that just lost their touch and stopped caring for quality. read more

Really a great taco truck!! I have been here many times for lunch and enjoy the food. It is not very spicy, but still has good flavor. Quesadillas are good here. read more

It took me a while to figure out this place and I finally got it. This place makes their food with no love. The food is just blah. Sorry for the bad review but it's the truth read more

Wonderful food, wonderful family a true gem. Can't go wrong with anything with the Carnitas or carne asada the chicken is good as well.

Yum! Just got an asada quesadilla with everything on it. Def a great choice for a great price! $5 for my meal and $1 for my water. Excellent customer service as well! Very friendly. read more

It was pretty good , I got a burrito half carne half chicken. I love that the chicken was white meat and all the meat was seasoned pretty good. They got my order right which is a big deal for me cause I'm picky. The customer service was good very nice people. Could tell it's a family business. I liked this place would go again. read more

Make this your next stop. The tacos are delicious and fresh. Also grab a burrito, beats anything you've had.

My new favorite taco truck. They are just as good as Jessica number 2 and closer.. Excellent food here

This taco truck is awesome! I can call in the order and the owner knows how we like everything we order. The hot sauce is amazing but be warned that if you ask for extra, your mouth will be in fire! Quesadillas are the best you can get and tostadas are pretty amazing too! read more

Delish! A must try. Their salsa is great and compliments their food well and the taste is consistant. Quick service and never disappointed. Favorite burritos and tacos around read more

I love this place. I've been eating here for years and regularly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick bite in the area. The quality of the food is excellent, it is served up quickly, and the price point is great. I've always found the owners to be friendly and fast. They aren't as well known as some of their competitors due to their location, and technically this place isn't a "truck", but I've long considered this place to be one of the best "taco trucks" in Modesto. read more

This is my go-to Taco truck when I'm feeling good on my work day. This taco truck has always been consistent with their flavors. They even accept phone order pick up, which I use every time. I always order a regular carne asada burrito with no onion and extra salsa. As soon as I pull up, they already know who I am. Their prices are also very fair for the quality of the food. read more

This is my new favorite spot. Eat here like 3 times a week. I am very impressed with the food. Everything I have had has been perfect. The prices are extremely reasonable. You can not go wrong with this hidden gem. If you blink you will miss it. It is in the chevron parking lot on the corner of woodland & carpenter. read more

Ordered the rice and bean burrito with salsa. While the salsa wasn't spicy it had a vinegar kick that I'm nit fond of but the hubby liked it. The burrito itself was great. Rice wasn't too hard or salty and the refried beans were great. They even grilled the Tortillas without us asking. To top it all off, they only charged us half the price everyone else does in modesto. Can't wait to get another. Yum! read more
