    A chicken mulita

    The chicken mulitas were delicious! I couldn't boy wait to taste it. We were surprise with the taste of them.

    Negro Modelo Chips & Pico

    We first started going to the Chando's tacos in Sacramento before there was even a location in Elk Grove/South Sacramento and it was always the best. The different options at Chando's set it apart from any other Mexican restaurants. They have vegetarian options, seafood, and more variety of meats than anyone else. Any of the meats done on the grill have such a smoky wonderful flavor that can't be beat. There really is nothing else

    The Chando's Taco truck!

    This review is for the Chando's Taco food truck at an event. We ordered 2 carne asada burritos and 2 pork adobada burritos and both kinds were good but too salty. My husband did kind that there's little to no rice, I don't think there's any in there, which is what he prefers. It's a lot of protein with mostly meat, plus the pico de Gallo, cheese, and we asked for salsa on the side instead of in the burritos. They were made quickly and served warm and packaged well. Service was fast, polite, and professional. There's no ambiance since it was at an event, so it wasn't at the restaurant, but we enjoyed our burritos at a picnic bench and we also got chips and mild salsa Verde with a drink. Everything was delicious, but again kind of salty. Portions were big so we split the burritos and only ate 2 and saved the other 2 for later. Looking forward to future events with Chando's tacos!

    I order nachos and tacos the papa. I asked for avocado in the side. They didn't give it to me. When up and asked and they told me they already gave it to me. I asked because I didn't get it. Worst experience.

    Loaded fries/ with steak

    Chandos, chandos......chandos ‍ First, I have to start off by saying I have been a patron of Chando's for many years and have seen the growth and expansion of the business and I'm so proud of you all. That being said, I ordered Chando's through a third-party delivery service. I don't remember. When I received my food, it was at first glance, aesthetically appealing, and I was excited to devour. The seasoning of the food was top-notch, which is the only reason I give you a slight pass. We ordered the three street tacos which were stuffed with toppings which I love however, the tortillas weren't crisp but either soggy from the juice or from the condensation through travel. It's stuck like glue to the parchment paper, making it very difficult to enjoy as the tacos breakdown in your hands We also ordered a loaded fry, which was also loaded with meats and toppings. Once I started eating it, I noticed that the fries were not cooked all the way through and you can taste that they were not fresh but seemed previously frozen. Upon skipping around the fries and through the toppings is where I discovered the huge grease puddle that was slowly building and taking over the fries. It quickly turned to mush, which forced me to not be able to finish it. Chandos, you have a great product however I feel either the process is being rushed or now due to great expansion corners are being cut, which makes me very sad. Your food is tasty and delicious , but I miss the love and care from back in the day.

    Chando's Veggie Tacos
    Nancy L.

    I came here on a Taco Tuesday where most of their tacos are $2.50. I love how they have a variety of vegetarian tacos. From my experience, they do rotate their Taco Tuesday menu but always have vegetarian options on the list. My friend and I each ordered a veggie, papas, and espinicas taco. Food came out super quick and hot. My favorite was the papas tacos since it was deep fried filled with mashed potato. The veggie and espinicas tacos was also really good but was a bit too salty for me. I recommend grabbing some of their green and red sauce at the sauce station and drizzling them on your tacos for maximum flavor. Would visit again for more Taco Tuesdays!

    Really good tacos! I love their pico and elotes too. The employees are friendly and the food is always fresh. Can't go wrong with a Chandos taco!!

    Adobada and asada street tacos
    Mikayla M.

    I tried the adobada and asada street tacos on my lunch break Thursday, both were good and I recommend them! 5 stars for those 2 tacos but I can't speak on the rest of the menu and only recommend what I ordered. The service was very fast and friendly here, lots of tables inside as well. Plenty of parking too. I recommend stopping by here sometime.

    Veggie tacos
    David C.

    Not bad. Service was helpful, water you refill yourself. There was a lot of different desserts in there though. I feel like I'd stop by just for that. I had gotten veggie tacos. They were decent, veggies tossed together, little bit light on cooking. Flavors didn't meld a bit. But I always like salsas to choose from and the green was nice and creamy.

    Multiple thin hair in a clump.

    First time here! Ordered a mulita asada for togo along with order items. Found multiple pieces of hair in my food, all ranging from different colors and lengths after eating half of it. I was severely disgusted.

    Fish Taco

    When I moved to Sacramento 7 years ago Chandos one my favorite but unfortunately the quality over the years is disappointing. I included a picture of what a $4 fish taco looks like I also orders a mini chicken torta there was very little chicken and the hardest Bolio bread

You're greeted with a fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and an energy that makes you excited to be there. Since the restaurant was especially busy, we chose to sit at the bar. There was no wait, and the high-top seating was surprisingly comfortable. Our server was welcoming and attentive, and the service was fast from start to finish. Between the great music and lively atmosphere, you can't help but want to dance while you eat! I ordered one of my favorites--the chicken sope. It was perfectly crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicken was packed with flavor, and the rice and beans were just as delicious. The salsa that came with it was the perfect finishing touch, adding just the right amount of spice and an extra kick of flavor. My hubby ordered one of the carne asada dishes (so sorry, I forgot the name!). He said it was one of the best cuts of meat he's had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time--super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We had such a fun night! I definitely recommend Rosa Madera--10/10 for a date night, girls' night, or any excuse to enjoy great food and an even better atmosphere.

Everything is decorated so uniquely, and it makes the whole experience feel special. The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and perfect for celebrating with friends and family. The only downside was that it was difficult to get in contact with the restaurant beforehand. I tried calling several times to make a reservation, but no one answered, and one call was even disconnected. Their website also only allows reservations for up to four people, even though they clearly accommodate larger celebrations for friends and families. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and in person service were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back!

Complimentary corn tortilla chips, salsa, and refried bean dip with cheese. I loved the REFRIED BEAN DIP! I ordered the Steak a la Chicana. I didn't read or listen carefully enough that the skirt steak with sauteed onions and bell peppers are covered in Spanish sauce. The sauce is actually quite tasty with a little kick. I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort. Choice of beans: refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans. I suspect refried beans is the tastiest option. El Tapatio would be a great gathering place for friends and family. It's located on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights near See's Candies and other restaurants.

I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food!

They didn't just walk by like frazzled, hurried workers like most restaurants pushing through the crowds. They actually gave me a nice smile and said welcome, and then walked by. And then I got to the reception area found that there was already a pretty big crowd at around the 5:30 PM or so I guess a lot of early birds come to eat there on Sunday. The receptionist asked for how many and said you'd be like a 20 minute wait and there was chairs where people were waiting but it was only like a 15 minute wait. The server was fast with the chips and salsa and ice water and then soon the waiter came and took my order. He was really quick and witty, fun to talk to. What I really enjoyed was as the noise of the table Near quieted down and they left. I saw a young man cleaning up the table and getting it ready for the next group of people. He was dressed really nice and had a tie on. Having been in restaurants most of my life I said to myself, I bet you he works with the owners or something. And I said to him, are your related to people that own the place ? he said my parents own this place. He was very friendly and polite. He told me a tiny bit about the restaurant and how everything had been since 1970, much older than he was, he was only a sophomore in high school I think. I never really got his name, but I was kind of proud of him because he was working hard at his family's restaurant. I ordered probably something bigger than I could eat because I had to take leftovers home, but it was really a tasty meal, and they're coming out with more chips and salsa without being asked, probably didn't help as well as a second lemonade. It's really impressive when you have a well oiled machine and it appeared to me that the people that worked there seem to be happy so that's always a good sign of good management. Several years back, I worked in the restaurant industry doing maintenance and repairs so I went to a lot of different restaurants and saw a lot of things so I know what to look for.
