YC Catering

Joe K and I were visiting Lodi Lake during the "Paddle Fest", and worked up an appetite. We spotted the YC Catering truck parked nearby within Lodi park. We were impressed at the tempting food items listed on the menu. We have often enjoyed Chamorro style food in the past, and was looking forward to trying them out!The nice woman taking orders was very friendly and helpful as we asked about the different meals offered. I ordered the Shrimp Patties in which you get 4 deep fried "balls" of ground shrimp and other ingredients. Joe ordered a Chicken thigh with red rice. It also included a Shrimp Patty. We decided to share an order of Plantain fries as a side. I got a can of Barq's Root Beer and Joe got bottled water. We had to wait a while for our food, but wasn't a big deal, since they most likely cook each meal made to order. And that's a good thing! However, I was concerned that our drinks were going to get warm during the wait.In general, the food was below our expectations. The shrimp patties were nicely brown and crisp on the outside, but the inside was doughy and under cooked in the middle. Joe's chicken was OK, but even though the red rice had a distinct smokey, barbecue flavor, it still lacked pizzazz. The plantain fries were crisp, but quite bland and the only saving grace was the saltiness surrounding them. I'm not sure if we will try them again upon our next visit, but since a few other Yelpers really enjoyed their food, we might give them another try and have what they had instead!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDA7FTRq5Vk

If I could give YC Catering 10 stars believe me I would. The Huli Huli chicken and the shrimp balls are amazing! Can't get anything else like it anywhere else. I love finadeni and was excited when I discovered them on social media. I've had YC 3 times so far and figured now was time to leave this review. Huli Huli chicken is always juicy chicken thigh meat and the sauce is so good. Tonight they suggested for me to try the house spicy sauce and it was THE BOMB especially mixed the the finadeni poured on the rice. I enjoy YC because 1 the food is AMAZING but 2 the customer service is great, you can tell that they make their food with love.

What can I say about YC Catering. I've first tried their food at a Chamorro event and seeing they were local to Sacramento I had to have them help cater my son's graduation. Fast forward couple years they are a good a truck centrally located In Stockton but pops up to Sacramento often and will deliver to the area. The perfect mix of Chamorro, Puerto Rican Island food. From their staple typhoon tacos to bow their vegan options. They never disappoint. There's something for the whole family and are an amazing wife & husband team that we are happy to get to know through out the years of enjoying their food!

Forgot to take photos of my plate because I couldn't resist digging in right away (oops!). With my girlfriend being half Guamanian and myself being half Puerto Rican, you would imagine how mind-boggled we were to see that a truck like this even existed, let alone in Stockton! So of course we had to try it. We ordered the chicken kelaguen typhoon taco plate and an extra taco on the side of the same meat. It comes with two nice-sized portions of red rice, a shrimp patty, finadene dipping sauce and two huge typhoon tacos. It's really such a beautiful plate and the taco shells are amazing!!!!!!!I've eaten authentic Chamorro food and this truck is the real deal. The red rice has a light but delicious flavor that doesn't overpower the tacos and compliments it very well. The chicken kelaguen had so much flavor, was nice and tender and not watery (which I've seen happen far too many times) but not dry (which also happens far too often). The only thing I wish I had a little more spice and flavor from was the finadene, I tasted a bit too much soy sauce. I'm not a big fan of shrimp patties but decided to try it anyway and it was good and filled with more than I expected!Overall, I would come back time and time again without a doubt. I will definitely be trying everything on the menu. The owners make it such a welcoming environment and I will be back soon. Amazing job!!

Caught this truck randomly , don't usually see them here. A man works here with his young daughter, nice to see that... He was super friendly and passionate about his food and explained his dishes since my husband and I weren't sure what we were ordering. We're not familiar with Puerto Rican food at all , but I know good food, and this place really had me impressed. He bragged about his tacos and he did not exaggerate , they were as delicious as he claimed. Like ridiculously good. My only complaint is at $8 for two tacos , I would expect a side of rice and beans... But I still recommend these tacos as a must, they are worth it! I work all the time to hunt them down, but if I see them there , I'm there for sure. Treat yourself and give this place a try.

They were at our work just now with the food truck and their food is AMAZING! I got the chicken tacos warmed, with the rice and it's super good! Very friendly family runs it and I'd definitely recommend them! Yummy!

Had some amazing food at today stock market. Amazing tofu tacos and Burro fries. Excellent food truck, worth the wait, that's real food.

Are you kidding?! 20 minutes for this little bit of food? The Huli Chicken is dry, the rice is clumpy and the Mac Salad isnt cooked all the way! Mac Salad shouldnt crunch!! 20 minutes for Shitty Food!!

The burro fries are the shizznit! When I found out they weren't actual potatoes I was eating, changed my perspective on the way I criticized food! Empanadas were juicy and full of meat, rice and beans complimented them like the the chia seed did to that refreshing lemonade. Upset that I wasn't able to try there signature typhoon tacos because I got there late but I could only imagine what waits ahead. Love how it's family ran, saw the kids helping out and having fun while doing it. Definitely worth trying! Great experience.

Best food truck in town!!! Representing many cultures, hospitable service with a smile, & delicious food at a great price!!!
