Road trip// need recs for STOCKTON & I-80 to Reno

Going on the Reno Air Race road trip. Leaving SLO to Sac via Pacheco Pass. We always get hungry for lunch around Stockton! Surely there must be some cheap & tasty eats there--just don't know the town or want to waste time driving around. We've had some good Pho in an older shopping center near an Asian Market,east of OSH store, but want to try something else adevntureous. Surely there must be something away from the highway. Anything near UOP?

Also need rec's along I-80 Auburn & East and for the Carson City area. Steve Timko has posted some rec's, but any others would be appreciated. Sushi? Indian? Thai? Have tried Mi Casa 2 and Red's 395.
Thank you!
