The margaritas were quite good. I ordered carne asada fajitas. Like most places, I expected it to come out in a hot sizzling platter with the rice, guacamole, etc. on the side. Instead, I received one big regular plate with a small amount of meat (somewhat lukewarm) and a lot of the other items (rice, etc.) The meat tasted good, but nowhere near as much other restaurants provide. Our waitress did a wonderful job waiting on our party.
The restaurant’s view was so great!!! First time I tried a Mexican restaurant so this is definitely a good experience for me to want to try more restaurants in town!!
Our family has been eating here for decades and we highly recommend Arroyo’s Cafe. Best Mexican food in town. Their meat sauce is unique and absolutely delicious. I ordered the two cheese enchilada dinner plate. They make their enchiladas with their meat sauce. I don’t like a lot of meat, so this is a perfect combo for me.
Hands down the best Mexican cuisine in Stockton, I have been loyal for over 45 years, since they were downtown. Very friendly staff who are attentive, awesome fresh-made tortillas, and 3 types of salsa. Lunch portions are like a dinner and dinner is leftovers. lol
Love this place! I always get the garlic shrimp, but grilled instead of sautéed. It's so delicious! I would add more garlic myself, but its still really yummy! Plus you can look at the fake lake and feel like you are somewhere else for a little while. The salsa is spicy for us, but we still love it. Everyone is really nice also!
