Tequileros Taqueria

I did not grow up somewhere that taco trucks are the primary source of good Mexican food, but have had some experiences with them over the past and generally found the food to be dry. Tequileros does not suffer from this problem, and in fact the moisture level of the burrito I had was perfectly balanced.

This tells me two things: the food is fresh and not sitting in sauces or overly watered storage containers and that they aren't using sauces to cover anything up. I had an asada burrito and the meat tasted marinated and well cooked without being over cooked. The rice is light, fluffy, and flavorful as are the beans, and the onions, and the cilantro.

And that was something I really liked: there are distinct flavors you can taste without those flavors competing with one another. The tortilla also had a light chew with some crisp browning. It tears easily without being overly chewy.

My only disappointment was the heat level of the 'hot' salsa. Perhaps it is because I don't appear immediately Hispanic (but I most certainly am, I assure you) or perhaps they just don't have a hot sauce, but what I got was almost up to mild in my world. The flavor was excellent, it just wasn't 'hot' in any sense.

You can ask for more salsa, but if you want heat, make your grandma's recipe and have it ready when you pick your food up. And yes, I have a very spicy recipe for salsa from my grandma, and no, you can't have it.

Aside from the spice level, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and it is easily the best Mexican food in town for what it has. It's worth skipping the chips and salsa you get at a sit down place. Plus, two adults ate from here for $20. That's a hell of deal.

Place is amazing and super quick with orders. Their shrimp burrito is out of this world. Me and my kids love it. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Lodi.

Very accommodating! Very fast service ! We work right around the corner and all of our coworkers eat here !

lways good service and good food. Nice to have local place to go.the atmosphere is nice and the wait staff is always friendly.
