Don Juan Foods - Modesto

I seldom find it open, and it has a rather run-down look.

The finest carnitas and the most delightful bolillo!

I just called, and they're still closed! I spoke to someone who said they will probably reopen in November. I'm really looking forward to their opening day! I miss their chili verde!

It's important to note that the restaurant is not closed; they're just undergoing renovations. My best friend recommended this spot to me for their tamale masa. I almost hesitated to call since Yelp lists it as closed, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. They are indeed open! I placed my order over the phone, and a few hours later, I went to pick it up. I almost missed it at first because it was dark and the place had no lights. However, when I called, they directed me to drive around to the back. The second time, I found it easily and picked up my 20 pounds of masa. The tamales were a huge hit for Thanksgiving! I'll definitely be placing another order soon.

They are very friendly, they take care of you as if you were family.
