    A couple of burritos to go. Got a chicharrón and also a green potato and cheese.
    Federico M.

    Been coming here for years when I was young and hungover for their famous menudo. I decided to bring my mom here again after not coming here for over 10 years. Parking was packed, they seemed to have a big family gathering for a Sunday brunch and also your regulars. That to me, means the food has to be good. Menudo: I ordered a large and a small menudo. The broth was good. I just wish the meat/tripe was cooked longer. Maybe an hour more of cooking time would have softened the menudo up a bit. It was kinda tough. Green potato burrito: It was ok. It was boiled potato in a white milky type of cheese and a side of green sauce. That's it. Bland and the potato was a bit undercooked as well. Add some egg to it and add the green sauce in there and you have a winner. One thing I also want to add is their flavor of hot sauce for their menudo. I almost finished the entire container. I need some heat in my life and this chile failed to do so. Maybe use chile en aceite, roasted chile de árbol flakes or something. I need heat! Overall I had a good experience and a great place to people watch. It reminds me of the little food changarros on the side of the road on Sonora and Sinaloa. I would come back for the ambiance, which is country and farm workers and not so much their food. It just needs to be cooked a bit further. It wasn't bad at all. I guess I just wanted them to be the best menudo spot in town.

    Casa Ruiz Deli aka Cache Creek Grocery is half small grocery store and the other half is a "Restaurant" well they do have indoor tables and chairs.... Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, this place is a nice little spot out in the middle of nowhere and prices are reasonable and people are friendly!.

    This is an interesting place and very unassuming. It's on a road surrounded by farms and there was a steady stream of patrons that came thru when hubs and I went. Everyone except one guy was Mexican if that speaks to the food. The menu is conservative and based on the yelp reviews, I went with the green Chile & cheese burrito. Hubs got the menudo and so did every other person who was there and those who came in after us. The burrito was disappointing because it was pretty much all potatoes. I didn't get any cheese nor chiles. Next time I'll go for the chorizo burrito or tacos. The menudo must be bomb because even the little kiddo at the table next to us got a bowl. The gentleman who runs the place is friendly. I would like a better array of salsa options but I loved that onions and chilies were on every table, so I doctored up my burrito and green salsa that came with it with the condiments on the table. Hubs liked his menudo and wants to come back.

    I had a potato with chorizo & egg burrito and it was delicious. A house-type atmosphere. Service was on point.

    If you're anywhere in the Woodland area and are craving delicious food, look no further than…read moreDoggeros. This spot takes classic hot dogs and burgers and levels them up with bold Mexican flavors, and it 100% works. My personal favorites are the birria and vampiros. The birria is rich, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the vampiros come crispy, cheesy, and loaded--easily some of the best bites on the menu. The vibe is casual and welcoming with a chill outdoor setup, and the staff keeps things friendly and fast. Pro tip: skip the line by ordering ahead online. They're usually pretty quick with the orders. Bottom line: Doggeros is a low-key gem serving creative, crave-worthy comfort food you'll keep coming back for.

    I asked for "lots of extra ketchup" after ordering a clásica burger with no mayo (comes with…read morewell-seasoned fries), a Diet Coke, and leaving a 20% tip up front, without knowing what to expect. I literally spend 4 digits on burgers every year, always ask for "lots of extra ketchup", and am never shorted, until today. The burger meat tasted below average and frozen. My family has been in the cattle ranching business since 1976, about 20 minutes from woodland. My siblings and I are third generation owners. Every time I asked the guy for more ketchup, he gave me two additional tiny packets, and I finally stopped asking bc he looked annoyed after I only had about 50% of my preferred amount of ketchup for a large burger and tons of thick fries. Moreover, they didn't even walk the order to me and ***gave me a bunch of sauce I didn't want or ask for*** WTF. Ordered the clásica burger with no mayo and they decided to drench it in guacamole which is not on the ingredients on the menu and I didn't want it. I didn't ask for a remake bc the guy had already dismissed my ketchup request. I ran out of Diet Coke (full to the top with ice) and didn't want to ask for more bc I didn't want to deal with the guy again. I spent a minute trying to wipe off the sloppy guac spread and I'm eating a very large salty meal while thirsty because I ran out of fountain Diet Coke halfway through and didn't want to talk to the guy again, to ask him for more. At any other burger place (and I'm literally a yelp elite member), they either 1) give plenty of ketchup the first time I ask, 2) they ask "is that enough ketchup?", or they 3) provide self service ketchup. Any of these options are perfectly acceptable. Virtually all restaurants do this because they understand that obsession over customer service optimizes for customer lifetime value, creates happy customers, and only costs them 12 cents. They've perhaps lost hundreds of future dollars from me because I spend an enormous amount eating out and am literally working one block away. I don't know if he owns it or just works there. This was on 7/26 at ~4PM. He would not be f****** bothered. I tipped him 20% too, up front, showing him that I expected at least reasonable service. And remember, they don't even walk the order to you. You walk up to the kitchen and order. You find your own seat, clean up after yourself, and place the tray in a designated area after you're done. I'm okay with all that, but not for a 20% up front tip with rude service. Won't be coming back even though it's profoundly convenient bc it's near a bunch of fantastic businesses I regularly frequent and enjoy. I hated my experience here. Could've had a great customer. Again, I work a block away. The fries were good though, for frozen fries. Well seasoned.

Some of their neighboring businesses have been boarded up, but I'm glad they are still around on that corner. The chico tacos are your typical street soft tacos which are $1.99 each on Taco Tuesday, but I love their crispy tacos which are $2.99 each on Taco Tuesday. This most recent visit I got one asada, one chile verde pork, and one adobada crispy taco, and an horchata. Chips and salsa bar complimentary, and a discount if you pay cash instead of card. I will say that the adobada and chile verde are delicious, but probably not the wisest protein for tacos since they're wet. The crispy tacos were cheesy goodness, and the asada reminded me of a quesadilla but better. I love me horchata, but perhaps next time I'll try the cucumber lime or Jamaica hibiscus drink to switch it up.

It had no guacamole, no sour cream, a tad bit of pico and two strands of cheese for $18.35 crazy! The tacos were dry, no flavor. Next time I'll just take the drive to the one in Davis. Idk if it's the cooks or the ownership but I won't be going back. Yes, Ik they don't give two S***s loosing 1 customer.
