    Another first. Came this way just to ck this place out. My buddy Rob and I drove over an hour away to get this. So freaking glad we did. This was off the hook. This place was awesome! We had the special menu Palmita Mulita and DAM! Off the hook. It took a few xtra minutes, but be patient! It's worth the wait. Jesus took great care of us. This is a must place to stop if you're ever near by! I highly recommend this to you.

    The service is so friendly, welcoming, and the food is heaven. Pure bliss! I had a mix of the spicy and mild salsita. Recommended and oh so good. This was an asada mulita and an adobada taco. So much meat... Heaven in each bite

    Been to the one in Manteca but I live in Stockton so wanted to give it a shot, love this one as well. Will definitely be coming back, love the chicken and green sauce! Has a little wait, but I contribute that to them making it fresh.

    The Keto Taco satisfies every time! That green Palmita Sauce too!

    TLP!! I started eating their tacos when they were set up outside a local bar in North Stockton. I've been following them ever since. I've eaten their delicious tacos, mulitas, burritos, and other items on their secret menu like "The Cone." You can usually find them set up at the food truck park called Stocklandia off West Lane. Look for the black truck in the front bumpin' the musica.They frequently set up for special events on the weekends supporting local events too. They actively support other food trucks and charity events and are truly one of the 209's best taco trucks! If you follow them on IG, Jesus frequently posts videos of his satisfied customers and himself sampling his outstanding tacos and Mulitas!! I always get their special green Palmita sauce and the red sauce too. Flavor to the max! All their menu items are loaded with quality meats. Check out Tacos la Palmita!!! Your appetite will thank you!

    Best taco truck in Stockton no lie!!!!! The menu is small but nothing wrong with that!! don't let that take away from how bomb the food is. It's so good it's addicting . I've had all the menu items tacos,quesadillas,tortas and the mulitas let me tell you once again everything is BOMB!! They offer chicken, beef(asada) and pork (al pastor)!. Most of the time I either get steak or I do a mix of steak&chicken best of both worlds, right?!? Try this truck so if can be on your fav list too

    Got to try this business at a party. The cook was great. He's having a good time while making your tacos. Very kind & conversational. The tacos were also very yummy & presentable. I'd definitely keep this business in mind if I ever wanna do a taco truck for an event.

    Chicken w/ mixed sauce

    So my friend kept hollering about this truck , every time we're on the phone I swear she's always there lol, FINALLY i made some time and decided to come Check them out. The one time I decided to go she doesn't answer her phone so I held her picture up asking the workers do they know this woman .... And if so what does she get because that's what I want lol They knew her face and knew exactly what she get that alone was impressive ... yes their menu only consist or a few things BUT the truck stays busy so the fact that They remembered her order I was deff impressed Next their customer service was outstanding very involved with the clients They were asking me did I prefer hot or mild sauce and also gave me their recommendation me personally that's how it should be because it shows me as a customer that you care about your business quality of service and my opinion Now let's talk about what the customers really care about .... And that's the FOOD THE SHIT WAS BOMB first time I had the chicken Mulita With everything including the mixed sauce chicken was tender now one thing I recommend is stop telling people the sauce ain't hot lol that shit deff spicy but it's a good spice for me that is lol second day I had The steak their were different people working and again still nice tender great tasting food and great customer service it's the consistency for me y'all keep making customers happy and full They accept many forms of payment One thing I would add is sour cream sour cream taking that mulita to a different level but if y'all never do y'all are the only truck I would accept this from lol Lastly just know this is not a bs post if you check my reviews just know TC will always keep it 100 when it comes to my service

    I remembered to take a picture after I finished the chicken taco, sorry.

    Hands down best chicken and asada tacos in Stockton. The chicken is juicy and full of flavor, not dry like other places. The red salas is just the right amount of spicy and delicious. The asada cook perfectly and another one that's delicious. I'm sad I only order one of each through door-dash.

    I wish I could give this truck MORE stars, but I have three issues. Favoritism - choosing to serve your friend's orders FIRST over customers who ordered 30 minutes beforehand and smirking about it because customers are voicing their frustrations over it. They do NOT take phone orders, so this was not the case and it was NOT a GrubHub/uber eats order. Food handling- No gloves while handling/cooking food. Waiting time- I waited for a total of 55 minutes from the time of purchase. I couldn't believe it! Three other customers were frustrated because they all were waiting more than 30 minutes each. So if you're not going to serve people on TIME, please don't lie and say 10-15 mins because obviously, that's not the case. The place was not full (8 people at the most) so I didn't understand why they were taking so damn long. If you're having issues, let customers know instead of taking their money and leaving them UNINFORMED. That's my experience, the food was good but for this kind of service, I'm not going to come here again.

    El Pastor Torta

    Tacos La Palmita. Location at the food truck Hub Stocklandia on 2107 West Lane in Stockton, CA. IG: @Tacoslapalmita209 follow them. It was Father and Daughter day. So I wanted to treat my Eldest Daughter for lunch. She never tried Tacos La Palmita before. So this was her first experience. She ordered an Asada Quesadilla and yours Truly picked out a El Pastor Torta. The wait time wasn't long at all. A few minutes at most, but well worth it. You can either take it to go or eat your food there. I'm not a eat the food in the car type of guy. I prefer eating at the establishment. You can walk around or there's these little barrels you can place your food on and eat your delicious food on them. The guys working inside the truck are all awesome. Amazing customer service and very, very friendly. Now on to the food. My Eldest Daughter liked her quesadilla. She mentioned several times that it was pretty good. I was happy to hear that. I was even more amazed that she finished it. Normally I'm her garbage disposal, lol. Whatever she can't finish she like "Here Dad kill it" But not today, she's the one who killed it. It's been many Moons since I had a Torta. So Torta it was. I picked out an El Pastor Torta. Let me tell you that Torta was on hit. So compliments to the Chef. The El Pastor had so much flavor and the Salsa complemented it very well. So try it out! That's not all folks! My Mom was getting off work soon, so I wanted to surprise her with some Tacos. I ordered her Four Chicken Tacos. When I dropped the Tacos off, she was telling me "She loves the sauce" and "she Loves how everything is diced really good" "She also said, that's they're so, so GOOD! I was happy thar she was happy. Blast to the past: When my Son was down from College ( December/January). I got some Asada and Chicken tacos for him and his girlfriend. They both really liked them. Where he's at in Hawaii there's no Taco Trucks. So Tacos La Palmita was our first choice. My Family and yours truly are definitely a fan. So if you're in the mood for some good food come out to Tacos La Palmita. You won't be disappointed.. Sincerely VD. "Enjoying the Simple Things In Life"

    We are looking to have a taco truck for our wedding reception. We are from out of town but are getting married at the B & W resort on the Delta. Is that a location that would be doable for you?…

    Hi it should be fine as long as the venue is ok with us being there. I need 4ft by 9ft long to set up

    How much do you guys cater at a birthday party?

    It depends on how many people and location.

    What are the keto tacos made of and how much is it? EDIT: I just messaged the owners. The keto taco shell is made out of mozzarella cheese.

    Sorry not familiar with those, but I can tell you everything I have tried, was awesome. Try the "mulitas"!

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.

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.
