Maria’s Taqueria & Meat Market
Overview
Enjoy delicious authentic Mexican food at Maria’s Taqueria & Meat Market! Tucked right off the road in a small shopping center on Thornton Road, it's known by most north side Stockton locals as one of the best places in town to get homemade tamales. They are made fresh, so make sure to ask what kinds they have to offer. On any given day they have chicken, cheese with jalapeño, pork and beef.
Their carnitas are also made fresh to order in house as soft tacos, crunchy tacos or take 1, 2, or 3 pounds of cooked meat home to make your own. You can even buy sopes already made or you can take some home to make yourself. The next time you don't want to cook try one of Maria's family meals. It comes with tortillas, rice, beans and salsa. Enjoy!

The best place for a Carne Asada plate, I'm not sure what kind of oil the use, but if they can use Avocado or coconut oil I will come here forever!! Meat is super tender!!

I’ve been here probably over 10 times, They’ve got great marinated meat. My breakfast order is Bacon burrito no eggs, you have to try it. I’ve had the chilaquiles, they weren’t my favorite but not bad. Most recently I tried the crunchy chicken tacos, and they were amazing. Their quesadillas are great too, they use good quality cheese. If you decide to come here definitely try the tacos and bacon burrito.
Great tacos (chicken, asada, Al pastor) & tamales! Beans & rice are very good as well. Also on cold days loved the chicken caldo, reys caldo & posole! Enjoyed the mixed plates as well as the family meal. We ordered the family meal several times as well for sporting events, birthday, celebrations etc. Friendly people, great service! Only 1 minor thing,... they charge you for the cilantro & onions when ordering the family meal! What?? Really?? Otherwise would have given 5+ stars.
