El Forastero

Husband - carnita fries and drink. $17. There is a good amount, barely finished it. The meat was still great, no gristle, and the guacamole was fresh. Now for the nitpicking. The fries could have been a little bit crispier and salted more. More cheese would have been good, too. Really, the flavor was too light to give it a top score. 8/10 Came back another time and got the carneta nachos. 9/10

The place is not too big but clean. They have many choices of foods. You can get chips and salsa unlimited. The portion is quite big. It's near Costco parking lot.

Very clean kitchen. And customer service is great. 2nd time coming and they remembered us. I had breakfast burrito 🌯 and it was freshly made.. Def recommend!!! 😋last time I had flautas and they were really good also. I had to have them cut the burrito half. It was really big. Very Clean seating area.. as well.

First time trying El Forastero and I was quite pleased! Everything hot and made fresh to order. The service was fast and friendly. The 5 rolled tacos were perfectly crispy and covered in the right amount of toppings (quac and shredded cheese). The quesa birria taco had tender beef and perfect meat:cheese ratio. And the consume was piping hot and delicious! Also ordered machaca breakfast platter (not pictured) and the meat was perfectly cooked but I would like more egg with it. I also thought the rice was fluffy and beans were seasoned well and covered in cheese. Everything was sooooo yummy!! I ordered nenudo but didn't have time to try it!!

Great food .... the place was not full of customers on this holiday... but the service was great... good food and good prices... I will definitely come back again.

The service was a delight. Everyone was in a great mood and having fun working. The vibe was on point and helped propel my day in a positive direction. I had the tamales (red) and they were just as good as my abuela’s tamales. The dining room was spotless and the bathrooms were clean too. Can’t wait to come back and try dinner more of their menu items! Thanks for a great experience!

El Forastero Mexican Food gets my ★★★★★ Finally, a spot that understands breakfast isn't just about pancakes and waffles! The chorizo and eggs here are a morning game-changer. The chorizo is perfectly seasoned—not too spicy but packed with flavor—and they don't skimp on portions. When mixed with the fluffy scrambled eggs, it creates this beautiful, savory dance that'll make you forget all about basic breakfast platters. Let's talk about their coffee because it deserves its own paragraph. Forget McDonald's—this is the real deal. They serve it piping hot and fresh-brewed throughout the day. None of that burnt taste you get from chain restaurants. It's rich, aromatic, and actually tastes like, you know, coffee. Perfect companion to their breakfast dishes. The service is quick and friendly, and the prices won't make your wallet cry. Whether you're nursing a hangover or just craving some authentic Mexican breakfast, El Forastero hits the spot. Pro tip: ask for extra tortillas—you'll want them to scoop up every last bit of those chorizo and eggs. A hidden gem that deserves more recognition. Your taste buds (and your coffee cravings) will thank you. The Cleaning Crew from San Pedro California appreciates Claudia’s great service too!

I come here often and enjoy getting he burrito and horchata

Every spots I go to and eat only because of one thing they have special,.once this place told me they will no longer offer an avocado sauce, I stopped going there last I went there was like 5+ years ago!! Not sure how they are now. Or they started making that avocado 🥑 sauce. So just went to order food today order 3 burritos and I Paid $48 for it!! Like come on bruh I understand prices are going up on things but damn almost 50bucks for breakfast burritos(3) 😅 will not be going here until I win that lottery I was promised!!

Been goin there for 6 years now since way before the fire. It's decent.. Loved it as far as the local Mexican chain. I go there about 3x a week after work. But this Sunday morning I just left and my dog accidentally kicked the menudo. When I called and asked if it's ok to renew it, they didn't wanna help.totally understand it's not the rule but I won't go back. I know it's just business but I thought they'd appreciate a regular customer. This comment isn't for the new people, it's for the company .It's all good. I only asked for menudo and crunchy tacos and somehow he got the order wrong. So should I have tipped him? Edgar can keep the change. Last time I ever go. Guess $10 is worth more then $27x 3 week. Peace. Don't even want the peace offering.. Hope it's just a lesson learned. Now I'll go outta my way to cover dinner.

We love this place. Breakfast Burrito 🌯 are the best. There are some times when food comes with a little disappointment but it's very rare. Overall the portion and food is very good. 24 hours.

I've been coming here off and on for a couple of years. I used to live nearby but I moved recently and I miss the authentic Mexican food I grew up with. My favorite is the California burrito, which is very filling. The staff are friendly and the inside is clean. Their drive thru is usually open late, but check before hand.

These kinda places are sure missed post pandemic, you have nice tasting food and chips and salsa as much as needed, for this alone i would comeback to this place, like i said the cherry on top was the tasty food. Machaca con huevo was amazing and so was the pastor tacos. Love it

Food was pretty good (although the beef was star salty for my taste). My only complaint: given there was nobody else in the restaurant, or parked outside, they took a very long time to even collect payment.

Must stop Mexican restaurant if you are in Sacramento, California. They have three locations. This one is in Stockton. You can order from the drive through window or from the counter and eat in during business hours. Self serve salsa bar, and tortilla chip. Nice seating area inside, with AC. Drive through window open until late at night.

I give this place rating of 4 Stars. One good thing about this place unlike a majority of restaurants, the Drive Thru is opened 24 hours. One draw back is the use of their Card Point of Sale charge of 50 Cents per use. So be aware. In the early morning, the drive-thru crew were prompt and ready once I reached the Order Confirmation Board. Their menu board was vast and they allow you plenty of time to read through their selections. Anyway, I selected to try the Chorizo, Egg, Potato and Cheese Breafast Burrito. They packed it up in the bag with Sauce (Green and Red) condiment and plenty of napkins. The Green Sauce had that spicy kick but not too hot. While the Red sauce had a strange smell and didn't taste anything like the traditional Red Sauces, so I didn't use it. The food review.... i unofficially give the good a 5 Stars because of the ample amount of ingredients where in the Burrito. It was delicious with that Green Sauce. The Chorizo provided that traditional spice. The potato were French Fries instead of cubed. This didn't matter either way. The cheese finally came in to effect about 4 bites into it. All those flavors are a great combo. I had to give 4 Stars though because, they would not honor Military or Veterans with a discount. I have experienced places of business where even when they didn't have discounts for Military and Veterans, would offer some kind of discount whether it is a Senior or a coupon discount. I can appreciate that ans then I would give that extra star for doing so. EL Forastero offers a very good tasting product.

Wow! beans and rice extra tasty. I ordered the 3 taquitos combo with cheese and guacamole. These are real shredded beef taquitos were loaded with cheese. Taquitos were crunchy. We were driving through Stockton and I would come here looking for this place again. I wish the guacamole was real avocado.

I had 4 crispy tacos...They looked great! Presentation was wonderful. I really like the fried corn tortilla. They just had NO FLAVOR..Very Bland tasting.. Disappointing...2.5 Stars

I went late night and the food was out fast. The line moved pretty fast as well. I had the burrito (so hungry I forgot to take a picture). It was full of beans, rice and steak. Some parts of the burrito had a funny taste but I didn't get sick so I don't know what it was. I asked for the hot pepper and it was very mild. I was totally surprised by that sense it was a Mexican restaurant. Overall for a late night spot, I would take it over Taco Bell any day.

First time going back after the fire. Surprised by the prices 2.80 for a street taco....and some misc non tax charge?!?. The Burrito was good, the tacos were okay.

Used to stop here often, but lately the prices have gone up and service has slowed down. Food still tastes good, but not always worth the long wait or high total. Still a decent late-night taco fix if you catch it on a good day.

I loved this place before it was burnt down. Everything tasted so good especially their breakfast burritos. Now that they reopened I have gone 3 times and goodness gracious, I want to love it again, but damn CALM DOWN ON THE SALT PLEASE!!! I want to taste the meat, but all 3 times I took one bite and had to throw it away. I tried....

I ordered two chicken tacos. The female repeated two chicken tacos. They gave me two carne asada tacos. I drove all the way back to tell them they got my order wrong. They did not apologize, and they did not smile. They didn't even give me a replacement fork. They treated me like this was my fault. I will never go there again. I've had way better horchatas at other places.

The food here has been my favorite I’ve been coming here or getting delivery for awhile now and I’ve notice when prices went up and when eggs went up if I ever order anything with eggs they barely put one in lol it’s a joke now I have to add eggs if I ever get my favorite breakfast plate so that sucks!! It used to be so much better and before I thought maybe because could of been a different cook etc but nope been the same way since the egg prices went up and they raised their prices so they should keep the same amount like before if we’re paying more !!! Just saying

The breakfast burritos are the best in stockton I've ever had. Just ordered a chicken burrito supreme......meh, tasted like canned chicken???

They pass some slimy concoction off as guacamole and I wonder what the contents are. Yuck! They also charge .50 if you use any type of card.

I ordered a 21, 25 and a super chicken burrito, $46.50 didn't notice until my family were looking for their burritos than we didn't receive any of them, I brought them back (12 minute drive each way) when I got there and explained what happened, I asked for them to refund the order, they tried to keep ,50 it's not the amount it's the customer service that failed, after I asked them for the rest of the refund, the manager on duty had an attitude, reluctantly gave it cashier, no name on the receipt, them as she was turning around she said " And don't come back here no More

Bad news then good news , Had a breakfast steak burrito and it was pretty gross because the steak had an aftertaste to it that tasted kinda old and was dry. Anyone who does a taste test to that steak cannot with good intentions say its good. Waste of $12 Took 1 bite and threw it away. On a good note I heard the asada fries are good. Eat at your own risk.

Nasty burritos they served tonight I will not come back. My California burrito was chopped super weird and you can tell they skimp on meat and sauce and just add potatoes

I asked for no ice in my horchata they give me ice, I told them I don't want sour cream or cheese in my burrito, that doesn't mean to make it a super asking for sour cream and cheese would make it a super smh, that raised the price by $3 i also asked for green salsa in my burrito and they didn't do that. I asked for a California burrito it always comes with chicken unless specified other wise they put carne asada in it. This will be my last time to this place for sure.

My daughter and I went to the drive through and went to my house to eat my daughter had to go to work so she ordered light beans since she is in retail it was a good size burrito so I thought I would put half for dinner that night. We sat down to eat and my daughters was almost all beans. Then I cut mine in half and it was ice cold the tortilla was straight out of the package the cheese was straight out of the cooler. Worst burrito I ever had so. Disapptointed!!!!! WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN

They have terrible customer service! The food is extremely over priced, especially when considering the poor poor quality of food. Fast food isn't known for being the best of meals, but this place can't even manage to produce mediocre food...it is genuinely pathetic. If you're here for late night munchies, please go somewhere else for your cravings...like Denny's. Don't fool other people into thinking their food is worth the money you'll pay. It's only a good "late night munchies" spot because it's open 24hrs and it's super greasy. Stay away!!

We were overcharged for our food. We ordered a quesadilla with guacmole we did not know that it only comes with cheese and guacamole instead of charging us 5.25 they charged is 8.25 we bought 2 so it came out to be almost 18 dollars they lied and said that they didnt remember taking our order and when we looked on grubhub it showed that the price we were supposed to be charged which was 5.25 not 8.25. And when we told them about this they said that they're prices had just changed so there wasnt enough time for other apps to update the prices but it makes no sense that a cheese with guacamole quesadilla is more expensive then a quesadilla with meat we are giving this place 1 star for their poor service.

Went through the drive though they said all they had were nachos. So im like cool.Ordered the nachos with extra meat and cheeses they give me that canned cheese for my extra cheese i didn't expect to pay you 20 for nachos to get cheese dip. Hit and miss with mom and pop businesses. If that's all you had were nachos at least you could have delivered quality on the 1 item you were offering at the time.

Went there a few hours ago! Hammer Lane location. Food was cold... The employees couldn't figure out how to work the menu board. Cheese was not melted on my frijoles like on the picture. My $17 garlic shrimp plate taste like crap! We were the only ones dining in and yet a long wait. I figured since I seen them on the news this past weekend I would give them a try. Not worth it. Mi Ranchito, Nena's, and Tapatia on E. Main St.... I will be a loyal customer! It's just a shame I have to travel to Oakland, San Jose, or anywhere in Los Angeles or San Bernardino to get good Mexican Food! The chips and salsa bar was not fresh! And the machaca was under par!

The absolute worst Breakfast Burrito I have ever tried to eat. Sausage with french fries, very little egg with some cheese. Looked and tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago. Just horrible.

$18 for asada fries that destroyed my stomach and toilet. I eat a lot of spicy/Hispanic food all the time. Never had I been so sick after going there yesterday. Every time I go there, either the fries are cold or the meat is like rubber. I always swear I'll give them one more chance. But after yesterday, never again. I have been sick since then and refuse to go back. As someone with a CA food handlers license, I can promise you they're not being sanitary. I genuinely makes me concerned about what I consume.

Order chili rellenos dinner and it was terrible. I tried my best to find anything about it that was good and ended up picking through it and throwing most of it away… The one on wilson way is good but this one on hammer leaves a lot to be desired.

I went and got 2 super burritos and 1 regular, the meat was hard and taste old and super salty would not recommend.

I ordered a lengua burrito. Their lengua burritos are all meat, and I paid $14 for a well wrapped burrito and don't mind paying if the food is going to be delicious. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment! My meat tasted like nothing but fat, and it seemed that they were running out of meat and had to scrap the bottom of the pot. About half of my burrito had burnt meat. I would rather pay for beans, rice, and less meat that wasn't drenched in fat!!!!!!!

This is a fairly expensive place to eat with mediocre to bad food. I would rather eat at Taco Bell then this place. The receipt we received said we were customer #7 mod afternoon and I can see why
