    The service is absolutely wonderful. Their al pastor and carnitas tacos are delicious. I went once and it's my go to spot when I'm in Roseville. They have taco Tuesday specials too! It's a small spot, but love the speed of service and the care they put into everything! Thank you so much!

    Comentario constructivo: Lamentablemente, mi experiencia con las pupusas no fue la esperada. No se parecen a las auténticas pupusas salvadoreñas, tanto en sabor como en relleno. El precio fue elevado (casi $5 por pupusa) y los frijoles no estaban fritos, además de que el queso y los chicharrones casi no se percibían. Considero que podrían mejorar mucho si contaran con alguien con experiencia en la preparación tradicional de pupusas salvadoreñas.De verdad le sugiero al dueño de este lugar que consiga a alguien que verdaderamente sepa hacer pupusas salvadoreñas, porque estas no llegan ni a ser gorditas. Espero que este comentario ayude a mejorar.

    Delicious adobada burrito
    Sarah A.

    My husband is love them for their super flavorful Adobada, whether in tacos or burritos, its all good. They use a thinner tortilla for their burrito which I like because it doesn't feel like im eating so much tortilla. They always serve solid tasting food for a good price, so i would definitely encourage trying them if you want to support locals. They do have taco tuesday : $2/taco Burritos are $11

    Carnitas and Al pastor
    Mary W.

    Decided to have some tacos for lunch and came to Hernandez for the first time. Love that I can order online and it's the same price as in store. We got to try their quesabirria, tacos (asada, carnitas, al pastor, buche) and tamales. Unfortunately, didn't get a buche but instead of another carnitas and then didn't get the chicken tamales but 2 cheese ones. Overall the food is good especially at such affordable prices. I am surprise that the tacos are $2.69. One complaint I have is that I wish the give up more cilantro and onion along with a bigger container of salsa.... It overall pretty good. The birria was on point. The tamales were good especially for $2.50 each of 6 for $12... way better than Costco one lol!

    Breakfast burrito

    Friendly staff and quick service. I ordered a breakfast burrito over the phone and they serve that all day! Plenty of parking in the lot. Tacos are also very good here.

    We got 2 burritos a carnitas and alpastor - they were both really good! The rice is sooo authentic!!! It makes you just want to order a rice and bean burrito - no joke LOL it's sooo good. The ambience is super chill; you're in and out of there within minutes; they had a lot of people when we went but they made the food very quickly:) thank you!!!

    Street tacos. Beef. $2.69. Loaded with meat. Get it spicy

    Well now that I'm 72 years old it's official.... I've eaten over 1 million tacos. Good and bad. Pretty and ugly. Ridiculously expensive in tourist 5 star resorts and others in Mexico City street shacks that cost pennies. The tacos here are up at the pinnacle of quality, flavor, presentation and satisfaction. Absolutely delicious. The short menu is displayed on the video screen behind the cash register. Order, pay and wait maybe all of 4 minutes for the food. There is one small table with 4 chairs outside on the patio. Nice folks. If I'm even a little hungry when on this end of Cirby ave, it's going to be another mandatory visit even if it's for just one taco. A taste of real Mexico. Salud!

    I came across a few reviews of Carniceria Hernandez that piqued my interest, so my wife and I decided to check it out. As soon as we walked in, we could tell this place was exactly what we were looking for--tons of great products, fresh meats, and even some in-house prepared foods that immediately caught our attention. The staff was super friendly, offering to explain the different prepared dishes and even giving us samples. We tried the carnitas and the birria, and both were delicious. I did pass on the menudo since I'm not a fan of tripe, but everything else was spot on. My wife went for a vegetarian burrito, and I opted for the Birria De Res. I have to admit, I totally forgot to snap any pics of the food--next time for sure, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We also picked up a couple of cheese and pepper tamales, which were amazing. Once we got home, we dug in, and everything was just as tasty as we hoped. We're definitely giving this place two thumbs up and wholeheartedly recommend it. If you're in the area, give it a try--you won't be disappointed!

    Super nachos

    Came for the chicharrones but it's only available on the weekends. I will definitely be back to try it. Opted for the super nachos instead and it did NOT disappoint.

    Went to a pop up at Rocklin community theatre on July 9th and ordered the 3 meat plate that comes…read morewith 2 sides for $25. My plate featured brisket-pulled pork & pork rib,along with Green Chile Mac n cheese and jalapeño sweet slaw and 2 slices of bread and pickled veggies. Brisket was special,10/10-perfect ratio of meat ,seasonings and fat-really enjoyed it. Pulled pork was a solid 8/10-nice flavor and not dry,which happens with so many pulled pork dishes Pork Rib was a very memorable 9/10-meat just fell off the bone with magnificent flavor! Green Chile mac was so good I wish I had ordered 2 of them!!! Overall great experience trying this true Texas style BBQ and look forward to trying them again at their next pop-up!!!

But what I wasn't prepared for was how hard this food SMACKS. We took our food home to escape the rain and just sat there in dead silence absolutely CHOMPING on the delectable gift in front of us. I've had bbq from all across the US. I've had bbq from quite a few places who claim to have good bbq and they disappoint. But this place? So humbly dominates the BBQ game. For a rainy day, the whole Oakhouse team was in great, kind, friendly spirits and happy to dish up their well-rounded menu. Their mac and cheese had me doing that chewing-while-aggressively-pointing-at the-dish kind of thing and their brisket is the kind that doesn't need to hide behind a sauce and HALLELUJAH for that. If you're blessed enough to find one of their pop-ups, DO IT. bring yo camping chair, bring yo wife, bring an appetite. Thank you Oakhouse team for raising the bar!

The hostess was lovely and attentive, even offering to seat us before everyone arrived. The buffet area is absolutely gorgeous. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly cared for. I know better, it's not my first rodeo (legit Gaucha here), Feijao, a pinch of rice, a few leaves of salad, and a micro-dosing of potato salad, than I sat back down for the real experience to begin. Which it did, promptly. Within moments, we were graciously swarmed by servers offering up an incredible variety: bacon wrapped chicken and filet, Picanha, Fraldinha, lamb, pork sausages, Costela (honestly to-die-for), grilled pineapple, and even queijo com mel drizzled on top. Perfeito. I was completely in my element and so was everyone at the table. The service was outstanding. Rafael, David, and the gentleman carving the gold wrapped steak (yup, I said gold). The entire team operated like a well oiled machine. Parabéns a todo eles.. e parabéns pra nos tambem, haha.

    It's been a while since I have been inside Mercado Loco... let's see how they are doing!…read more Tonight, I did not bring enough of my homemade carnitas over to my clients and she was wanting carnita taquitos. So, I pulled into Mercado Loco because their carnitas is delicious! They have a very compact parking lot with a vendor on the sidewalk selling the doritos that you can put your sauce & lime on. I skipped him today and walked through those automatic doors... I know Mercado Loco has been here for decades. I grew up just around the corner and finally walked in about 5 years ago for the first time. Boy, was I missing out! At first, you notice this is a Mexican grocery store that also offers hot lunch/dinners. The price for some of their items are a little high than your typical grocery store... being that some of the items they offer are higher quality. However, sometimes, the prices do not match up when you get to the front. Cilantro had a price of $.69 on display, but I was charged $.75... it was only a tiny difference, but just putting it out there. I went straight to the hot case and a woman with a beautiful smile greeted me in Spanish and asked me what I would like. I ordered a pound of their carnitas. Oh, heck, give me some of those chichorrones, too. Next thing you know, I'm grabbing some of their hot salsa... I think their hot salsa is one of the best, hottest salsas that I have ever had that I can handle! We're talking nose running, but it's so good you can't stop! Next, I grab some king size corn tortillas. Some cilantro... they have wonderful produce available here... as well as those gorgeous purple dragon fruits when the season is right. After my pound is carnitas, pound of chicharonnes, cilantro, tortillas, and salsa... it came out to just a hair above $40! Ouch, but that is what you pay for when you want authentically cooked carnitas and chicharonnes. When I got home, I was a little disappointed that I was given some of the dried out pieces of their carnitas. When I say dry, it was too hard to eat. So I cut those parts off and tossed them (my carnitas blew their out of the water, btw.... just saying, lol.) The chicharon's were hot and miss throughout the entire time we ate them. Super hard, popping you he l can hear in your teeth, in your jaw... but some parts were delicious, succulent, crispy... yum! I love coming here earlier in the day. When I get tacos, they for 99% off the time on point! They are gorgeous and tasty... and get the HOT SALSA!

    The meat tasted like Fabuloso…read more The guy at the counter said the meat fell on the floor. I thought he was joking because he laughed right after. But proceeded to give me the order i requested. After inspection at home the smell was faint. But once cooked it almost seems like the meat had been marinated in that fabuloso fragrent liquid smell. This place is dirty and filthy. People are careless of the quality just like the owner. He use to have an other location in Rancho Cordova. But the dirty details about their specials and promotions made me sexond doubt buying anything feom there. JOKINGLY i would ask if the meat was good this time. (Its fresh we just got this batch.)

    I'm not sure how I missed BHBBQ before today, but I have every intention of becoming a regular…read more Finding great barbecue this close to home is exciting, and I just have to keep an eye on my weight! Barbecued meats are somewhat difficult to review because there are a number of different regional styles and different ways the meats can be presented. Many folks love their ribs to be "fall-off-the-bone", but as a KCBS certified barbecue judge, I can tell you that style is not considered competition-worthy. Some like their brisket tender but lean; others find the fatty pieces to be the most flavorful. What I can tell you for sure is that if I had come across the ribs, brisket, and chicken that I had the pleasure of eating today at an official KCBS competition, I would have given top scores to all three. Excellent barbecue, all with the perfect amount of smoky goodness and tenderness. I had the pleasure of meeting pitmaster/owner Dave and his partner Axe. Really nice gentlemen who are deservedly proud of the top-notch barbecue they are serving. They are happy to answer any questions you might have, and they definitely do know their barbecue. Service with a smile makes for a fun experience. One of my favorite kinds of discoveries in restaurants is to find a place that, from the outside, doesn't necessarily promise to be much. Then you decide to give it a try, and WOW, it turns out to be great. And that's what you will find with BHBBQ. It's a simple stand with an awning, sitting at the very back of a large Raley's parking lot (and easy to miss if you don't know where to look), and from the outside it just doesn't look like it will be special. But very special BHBBQ is, and that is a lot of what makes this barbecue such a treat. One cautionary note: I just happened to find BHBBQ on Instagram yesterday and saw that they were going to be nearby today. They do travel, and so before you go hunting for it, be sure you know where they'll be. They announce their schedules on Instagram, Facebook, and on their website. And they do have a phone number. But this one is definitely worth the search if you're into really excellent barbecue. We had the ribs, brisket, chicken, hot links, beans, and mac & cheese. Everything was top-notch. Tastes can differ, but I can definitely recommend this terrific barbecue experience.
