Garcia JoJo's is a longtime staple for Mexican fast food in Modesto, a spot where locals swing by for reliably fresh, made-to-order meals at modest prices. Situated on McHenry Avenue, it carries the feel of a family-owned business that has quietly served the community for decades, anchored by a consistent kitchen crew that keeps the flavors familiar and satisfying.

The atmosphere is straightforward and casual, perfect for grabbing a quick lunch or dinner without fuss. The place fills up around usual meal hours, catching a mix of neighborhood regulars looking for comfort food and those craving authentic, simple Mexican dishes that hit the spot. The service tends to be prompt and warm, reflecting that family-run vibe customers appreciate.

Garcia JoJo’s menu offers classic Mexican fast food staples with some standout options—think hearty burritos (including vegetarian-friendly and al pastor varieties), crunchy ground beef tacos, and enchiladas swimming in either red or green sauce. Their chips and hot sauce also earn mention among regulars as a perfect sidekick to any order.

One typical order might include a pulled pork burrito paired with generous sides like beans and rice, accompanied by a large to-go salsa that customers often rave about. The portion sizes lean toward filling, making it a solid choice for comfort food cravings or feeding a group, especially with their party taco packs. Breakfast visitors often enjoy the carne asada breakfast burrito, noted for packing good flavor in a fast and convenient meal.

Patrons visiting here are usually folks who appreciate consistency over flash. It’s the sort of place where you can expect honest flavors you remember from past visits, not surprises or trendy reinventions. It works well for a casual solo meal, a quick bite with family, or a laid-back group gathering where everyone can satisfy their taco or burrito fix without breaking the bank.

Because this is primarily a fast food setup, visitors should keep in mind to quickly check orders before leaving, as occasional mix-ups happen, but the staff generally handles any issues with ease. If you’re in Modesto and want straightforward Mexican food with a local touch—something that’s been quietly reliable for decades—Garcia JoJo’s delivers on that reliably simple, satisfying experience.

This family-owned Mexican fast-food spot has been a Modesto favorite for decades. Their food is consistently delicious—our go-tos are a large side of beans, a large side of rice, a large salsa to go (the best in town!), and the pulled pork burrito. It’s classic, comforting, and flavorful every time. One note: double-check your order before leaving. About 15% of the time we’ve received an incorrect item, but the staff is always friendly and quick to make it right.

Great food. Great service. Great prices. But they told me they've been in business for 40 years with the same cook. I couldn't believe that I'd never stopped there before. That and itself is a statement of how good it is.

First time there. Had the breakfast burrito with carne asada. Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. WOW. Great service, good price, quick.
