Delicias Aly is opening its first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 3801 Yosemite Blvd, Suite C, in Modesto, with owner Bertha Aguilar confirming to What Now Sacramento that the restaurant is targeting an October opening.
Aguilar said the restaurant will serve traditional Mexican food, with a menu built around birria, menudo, quesabirria, chile rellenos, flautas and pozole. The concept builds on a business she already runs under the same name, a Delicias Aly food truck, marking her first move from food truck operator into full restaurant ownership.
The Delicias Aly food truck has built a loyal customer base over time, drawing praise for its handmade tortilla birria tacos and carne asada burritos, along with outdoor covered seating that’s made it a regular stop for locals. Reviewers have specifically called out the truck’s birria as a standout, describing the handmade tortillas and tender meat as reasons to keep coming back, giving Aguilar an established following heading into her first sit-down location.
Modesto’s Yosemite Boulevard corridor has become a steady draw for Mexican restaurants and taquerias over the years, giving Delicias Aly a built-in customer base already familiar with the style of food Aguilar is bringing to the space.
Aguilar said the move into a permanent space marks a real milestone for the business, one she’s approaching with excitement as she takes on her first restaurant after years running the truck.
