Papa Urb's Grill | Stockton — Restaurant in Stockton

I got the sisig empanadas and pork belly sandwich.

Sisig empanadas: Maybe I don’t know how empanadas are normally, but this was just too doughy for me. Filling to dough ratio was not great for me. Flavor was pretty decent and I enjoyed it otherwise. If there was a bunch of cilantro to eat on the side instead of garnish I’d like that more. I did have high expectations after reading all the reviews though, and I have only found maybe one or two places where I liked their empanadas.

Pork Belly Sandwich: Decent portion of meat and relatively worthwhile price. I would’ve appreciated maybe a tad better distribution or portion of meat though. Could fill me up for a meal and great $10 ish lunch after tax. Flavor of the pork belly was alright, although the texture wasn’t fantastic (I didn’t like the way it was cooked). It was a bit gummy but maybe that’s the intention. Cole slaw filling was interesting. The sandwich overall was reminiscent of banh mi, although quite different which is where the “fusion” might be. Again, I think it would taste better with more cilantro.

I had to wait maybe 10 minutes for my order because it was fairly busy for lunch. Overall it’s one of the better choices to eat out for lunch for the price near the courthouse. I would recommend it if you’re in the area. I’d come back and maybe try one of their normal plates.

Interior was interesting but felt lacking in design. Maybe could fill their walls with more decoration, but they had neat vintage photos. Plenty of seating I think. Soy sauce and vinegar on the side near the soda fountain and can ask for sriracha packs, but other...

The store is located in Downtown Stockton, a small walk from the courthouse. The interior is quaint, modern, yet rustic. I dig it haha. The staff is friendly and bubbly. It was my first time, and I wasn't sure what to order. I asked the member what the most popular items are and ordered the adobo quesadilla, fries, lumpia, and halo halo. The food was really good! My favourite are the halo halo and adobo quesadilla. What would have set is off was if eating in is an option because of the nature of the foods being fried. So by the time they're brought home in the to-go boxes, the food is slightly soggy. But it isn't the restaurant's fault and is understandable given the circumstances of the pandemic. Hopefully, the restaurant will allow dining-in soon, so customers can enjoy their delicious food...

I haven't been to this place since 6 months ago. I use to come here alot when this place open because it was much closer here then there Tracy location. Atleast Tracy location has places to park at. Yes! This place location is ridiculous hard to find a parking spot and so many homeless people around it. There restroom is still closed since 6 months ago. So dining is not a good option. I have no problem with the food. It was delicious! But I miss the old menu when they started in Tracy. This is why they probably lost their older customers because they completely changed half their menu. Idk 🤷‍♂️ maybe they have a new owner since they took out there fountain soda so no free refills. Idk 🤷‍♂️ what happened to my old reviews! I know i made one on this location...
