Chimulita Gourmet Grub

Love having the best taco truck close to home. We've never had a bad experience here. The family loves everything on their menu.Today we had their new birria tacos with consommé sauce. BOMB.COM. Flavors were on point and the consume consommé sauce was the perfect pairing to dip the tacos in. So good I ever dipped the Casadilla in it and took a few sips to wash it all down! If you love spice the 38 special sauce is for you!Eric the owner is super friendly, knowledgeable and makes it a true 5star experience.

Big Ole what????This was a major disappointment. We have been wanting to try this place based on the pictures on Instagram. The picture shows a big, fat, juicy dipped quesadilla. However this was a tiny, dry, child size quesadilla. There was almost no meat or cheese in it. This was a waste of $10.00. If you're going to advertise something it should be real. This was false advertisement. The meat was dry and didn't have any flavor and the tortilla was dry and burnt. It wasn't stacked. The only good thing about this place was the hot sauce. This was definitely not a big ole quesadilla, not at all!

Some of the best Mexican fares can be found in a truck on the streets. Chimulita- a family owned Cali-Mex fusion food truck serving up some of the tastiest and creative combinations of food you'll ever eat. Widely known for their signature Chimulita tacos- - dipped and grilled corn tortillas, melted cheese, meat, toppings and house aioli. We tried a flight of tacos- - brisket, chicken and asada. All remarkably and subtly different, with varying textures and flavors. Delicious! The brisket quesadilla was also a great choice! The tender brisket wrapped in a crispy shell, packed with cheese and house aioli was superb! Best part is, all their proteins are halal! They're located in the parking lot of a car/tire shop off of Monte Diablo. You can order online or call ahead.

Wow!! This place is one of a kind. I got the chicken tacos and 2 brisket tacos. Ugh I should of ordered like 15 of them. The chicken taste so fresh along with the tomato, cabbage and that orange sauce takes it to another level. I seriously almost started crying because they were that good!! I'm so going to stalk this place. I wish one day they open up a restaurant, they got those flavors that fuse together and make perfect harmony. I'm from the Bay Area and let me tell you there is NOTHING like this. I don't know how to describe the taste but to me it taste like heaven. This place is just not a regular, boring taco truck. It is one of a kind! I'm so happy to have found the best tacos and more in Stockton. Now get out there and get your tacos!

Update: 11/22/2020 so they've moved to a new location. They are still in Stockton but in the parking lot of a car or tire shop. They revamped the menu by making it completely halal. The down side for someone like me is that they got rid of my favorite item. They no longer serve their Dominican pork, aka Pernil, Chimulita. I was devastated. That being said their food was still delicious when I stopped by after months of not seeing them. Side note, I was a little too strict with my previous review.they should have been a 5 for me before and this review was actually meant to drop them down to a 4. Yes the Pernil was THAT good that it should have been a 5 for me.

This truck deserves every darn star!!! 1) the owners are awesome2) they keep their Instagram updated for their fans3) their lemonade is delish4) their food is to DIE for. Their carnitas is my favorite meat for my Chimulita. I have tried them all .. many times over lol.If you haven't tried them, trust me, you will not regret it. I just wish they could be parked outside of my house! I haven't been since they changed locations but I was just telling my husband over dinner today, that we need to go get our fix!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I'm usually picky when it comes to food and I'm not a huge fan of Mexican dishes but my goodness this place is good!! Not only is it halal, the owners are so kind!!!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I'm usually picky when it comes to food and I'm not a huge fan of Mexican dishes but my goodness this place is good!! Not only is it halal, the owners so kind! They even hooked it up with a free chimulita taco!! Will be coming back again!!!!

1/31/2020: I don't like giving slightly above average ratings to local food spots especially with the couple running this truck being real nice, but I was not real impressed about the items I had.Chimulita: tasted okay but I don't think my tortillas were cooked like the ones in the other Yelp photos. Those have more of a redness to them and mine look plain. I don't think I got to enjoy the full effect.Quesadilla: same like the Chimulita. The other photo on Yelp looks red and mine doesn't. I didn't find it to be as good as one from El Grullense for the price. Nice portion tho.Salsa: their red sauce is good but I wish they gave more as I had one small container for both items. The comeback sauce is good but I would ask for just their red sauce next time.I'm going to go back bc I want to try their Korean brisket tacos and tamal-buns which both look real good but they were out of both when I got there. I will hopefully have an update with a better rating soon!

To me this is something new, specially when it comes to gourmet food because its hard to find delicious food from a taco truck. But wait this is not just a regular taco truck, this is a family business that serves delicious food. Give it a try for yourself and see how clean and tasty their options are.Eric the owner its such a cool guy so please support your local businesses #lovestockton #chimulita

Chimulita is one of our favorites. They recently catered our baby shower with about 50 attendees. The tacos (& everything else they offer) is excellent! Everyone raved about how good the food is. They were professional and had a great set-up! We love seeing the team and will definitely have them back for another event! Hope to see them in the meantime at some pop ups as well!
