Fagundes Meats & Catering

Great food! Great service! Graduation party a true success! Tri-​Tip was perfect! Chicken was very goo and well priced! Thank you! Would highly recommend this company!

Went here about a week and a half ago with my family. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a side of Chile. I loved it. Food was great. They look like they have a great selection of meat and they sell other stuff like boning knives and seasonings.

This is the place! I had just moved to Manteca and needed a caterer. The prices were awesome, food was awesome, and the service was awesome! We frequent still for the sandwiches, Highly recommended!

When your wife is Portuguese, you might need to take the occasional road trip to buy sweet bread, linguica and Fagundes Brothers seasoning.
That is what we did today, and while we were there we decided to sample their lunch offerings. We ordered a linguica sandwich with a side of red ranch potato salad, and a tri-​tip sandwich with Portuguese beans. We were both super-​happy with the food.
Fagundes Brothers makes their own linguica. This was the spicy version, which has just the right amount of bite to make it interesting. The flavor is excellent. The roll was nice and fresh, and the house dressing makes a good accompaniment. The red ranch potato salad was probably the best potato salad I’ve ever eaten. I normally will eat only vinegar based (German-​style) potato salad but this one was so good. Bacon, egg, black olives and red potatoes in this dressing are an excellent combo.
The tri-​tip sliced right off the grill out front was smoky and fall apart tender. One of the better grilled tri-​tips I’ve eaten. The Portuguese beans were rich and smoky too, with slices of linguica and a spice we couldn’t quite place. Maybe nutmeg? Sofa king delicious.
They also just started smoking St. Louis ribs and they offered us. A sample. Damn was it good. Perfectly cooked and tender with a not overwhelming smoke flavor. Yeah, we bought a slab to take home for dinner.
Absolutely worth the drive from Sacramento.

Very good sausage and tri tip sandwiches excellent beans and potato salad. With sodas about $ 20 and was a very good value, left very full. Nice folks and they have some screaming good deals on large assorted bundles of meats that we’re definitely gonna go back to stock up the fridge.

Quality Food, Quality Service, Quality Manteca Family Business! Our family has been eating their food for over a decade! Their prices are crazy reasonable! For your next even consider them above the rest.

My mom ordered food from here for my dad’s birthday. The staff loaded up a cart and rolled it out to my car and loaded everything in very quickly. Food was very good and tasty. I can see why they are so popular. Would like to try buying their meat some time in the future.

I recently had Fagundes cater my wedding and they did a great job. I have a severe gluten allergy as well as peanut and dairy concerns. My mom worked closely with Fagundes as my wedding planner. They brought in a special grill that had not been contaminated and grilled right on site. Our guests loved it! The tri-​tip was delicious. We also had salad with amazingly good Italian dressing, baked potatoes with assorted toppings, rolls (at my mom’s request), and steamed vegetables. We went with the full catering buffet style. Sandra was great to work with for coordinating the food, linens and dinnerware, as well as the servers. We were extremely pleased with the company before the event, the food and setup as well as the servers on site. They were also very affordable and Sandra worked with us to get the best deal possible. My mom raved about working with her. I would highly recommend them for someone with a gluten allergy and for events.

I saw this place once before when I was in Manteca and made it a point to go when I was in Manteca again. There was an employee outside grilling the tri-​tip which made my mouth water instantly. I checked the menu and they had tri-​tip sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches and ribs. The ribs especially the baby backs looked really good. I settled on the tri-​tip since I was by myself. The tri-​tip was juicy and well seasoned. The mayo also tasted great. I had a side of potato salad which was a bit spicy for me but was really good. A note on the sides, I saw someone with Portuguese beans that looked good so I will have to try that next time. I also saw someone with the ribs and I think I should have gotten that, an entire slab of baby backs was $ 22 so not too bad and about the same as Famous Dave’s. The tri-​tip was better to me than Kinder’s meat. I will definitely be going back and trying more of the menu.

This place is amazing! Tried them last night for the first time. We picked up stuffed mushrooms, twice baked potatoes, and tri tip. All of it was amazing. But I highly recommend getting the spicy sausage stuffed mushroom! So good. 4sure going back and getting more

There meats are just plain amazing and my fam have used them for my brother baptism and the meat was on fleek!

Best tri tip sandwiches I’ve had in a long time, besides bbqing at home. I’m from the central coast and all we do is tri tip so I’m super impressed!

Been going there for years foods great but the past month The new employees do not know how to make a sandwich you pay over eight dollars for a sandwich and it has four thin strips of chicken in it about half of what it used to be had the try tip last week same thing less meat and lots of fat I don’t know if it’s lack of training of new employees or they’re just trying to get the public to pay for their remodel job don’t think I’ll be coming back there again

Very disappointed and unacceptable. My sister ordered all the food for her birthday and paidi it in full. Then on date and time agreed upon they just informed us they missed the order. So all our guests have nothing to eat. Not sure how can this service get any stars at all. We have told our guests this catering service so they can avoid ordering from them in the future.

Totally disappointed. My wife and I went here for a taste testing and had an awesome experience. The food was great and the people were so pleasant to work with. On the day of the wedding, the food was bland, tasteless and cold. We were told they would cook onsite which they did not. We were embarrassed we had told our guests how great the food would be only to serve them mushy veggies and cold, tasteless steaks and salmon. I don’t think this place knows how to cater large events. One on one they are great but I would not recommend played meals for special events. I wrote them an email expressing my concerns after the wedding and have yet to receive a response. I suppose once the checks are cashed, it doesn’t really matter what kind of service you’ve received.

Best meat sandwiches anywhere, even kinders. It’s 90% butcher shop so it’s not exactly restaurant atmosphere inside but if you come for the meat your guaranteed to get it. The tri-​tip is actually juicy not covered in sauce, a rarity.

Ordered catering pick up for 30 people, drove it 30 minutes home, food was still hot and a big hit! Will definitely order for next party, no matter the size, these guys deliver the flavor and quality!

Had always heard about this place and decided to try it. Well actually I’ve had the New York Steaks from there. I’m in a little organization called E Clampus Vitus better known as Clampers and they do our steaks for every meeting we have. They are delicious every time. So I decided to try their deli and I was NOT disappointed one bit. I had the tri-​tip sandwich and it was so good. I would also recommend their chili beans and potato salad. So if you are ever in the Manteca area go give them a try. You won’t regret it.

Came here for a family lunch this afternoon and was not disappointed. I had the Italian sausage sandwich and macaroni salad, and my boyfriend ordered the tri-​tip sandwich with Portuguese beans and a side of bbq ribs. We were greeted warmly by the family who owned the place, and ate inside since it’s a blustery day. The food was very good! I could tell the sausage was made in-​house without even being told. The tri-​tip and ribs were SO tender and flavorful. Both sandwiches came on soft Genova style rolls. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

Not wanting to cook today, I decided on going to Fagundes to pick up their fresh, just off the BBQ tri-​tip. You can get the tri-​tip whole or sliced up. I get it sliced thin for sandwiches. The flavor is incredible and it’s so juicy. They also had beer can chickens. They looked incredible so I bought two of them. All the meat was moist and perfectly done. Each whole beer chicken was $ 10 and they are big chickens. You can’t beat that anywhere.
I also bought their red potato salad and their macaroni salad. Both were pretty good.
I spent about $ 60 for the tri-​tip, 2 whole chickens, a large red potato salad and a small macaroni salad. It filled up four of us with plenty of left overs.
Fagundes offers the BEST meat counter in Manteca and surrounding areas. If you are looking to BBQ and want some great meat, this is the place to come. Right now, they have N.Y. Steaks for $ 6.50 each. That’s a pretty good price.
Try Fagundes. You won’t be disappointed.
