    The front of the El Capitan located at Vierra's Resort
    Kirk F.

    This place was a really cool find at Vierra's Resort. The people working there were super nice, they greeted everyone who came in. I had 2 crispy tacos which were regular shells not the handmade/fried one's I'm used to,but that's the only thing that was different. All 3 meats I had were seasoned well which was nice. I had the Carnitas/Pork, Pollo/chicken, Asada/Beef which were hella good. I will be back anytime I'm near there. Beers were cold as sh*t too, frosty glass of beer. They have a TouchTunes jukebox too. Don't forget about the salsa bat which the lil cups are on the wall to your right of the salsa bar. I only tried the mild and it was good, I had that with the chips they gave me while I was waiting. Bathrooms are outside, men's restroom is around back and super clean too. Prices were more than fair given todays economy for sure, I pay alot more in the Yay Area, San Jo.

    Chimichanga burnt, could have been cooked over but no turned over

    The food has definitely gone way downhill. The chicken tasted like canned chicken. Definitely will not be going back.

    Food is authentic and delicious. Flavors are outstanding and very low sodium. I would personally recommend using this restaurant.

    We ate lunch at Fat Lou's and ordered it to go. We both had the Chile Verde Quesadilla's. I have to…read moresay, I haven't had Chile Verde like this in a long time. The flavors that were in there were made from pure love. It reminded me of my grandmother's cooking, where she began cooking dinner right after we had lunch and all of the love she put into her dinners. The portions were very generous and there was enough that we had left overs that we ate for dinner. Fat Lou's, you have a customer for life, and I am spreading the word to anyone who is looking for "true" mexican food. I am so glad you are a quick drive out to the delta to eat your food. Next time we will have to try your breakfast offerings. Great job Lou, you have a fabulous restaurant!

    This is a small restaurant on River Road. Area is geared towards tourists. This is a block away…read morefrom Tony's Place. Ambiance Small and very clean. A few patio tables and about 4 tables inside. Customer Service Water never refilled. It was not busy. Chile Verde and chile relleno plate. Chile verde ok very small portion. Chile relleno very good. Food was cold except the relleno, asked to be reheated not acceptable. BBQ Plate Baby back ribs were not fall off the bone tender but had good flavor. Chicken juicy and tender, very good. I was impressed with the macaroni salad. Potato salad ok. Dish was served hot. Dishes priced on the upper end. I am sure rent on the River Road is high.

Today was an Orozco day!!! I wanted to try new menu items. I ordered Carne Asada Burrito, Pollo Sope, and Puerco Tamale. As I placed to bag of to go items on the seat next to me I could smell grill onions, grilled meat, and beans. The aroma coming from the bag smelled wonderful!!!! I made myself a sample platter of Pollo Sope, Puerco Tamale, and Carne Asada Burrito. Pollo Sope: Seasoned to perfection grilled chicken, whole pinto beans, lettuce, crema, on a crispy corn tortilla base. This was delicious!!! Puerco Tamale: Shredded pork cooked in a red chili sauce. Not spicy. Seasoned just right. The outside (Masa) was light, there was definitely plenty of meat in this tamale!!!!!! Carne Asada Burrito: Grilled beef, pinto beans, rice, sour cream, salsa. This burrito is huge filled with all delicious foods!!! This is my new favorite burrito!!!! I love that they give grilled onions, jalapeño, radish, lemon, and salsas!!! It adds to the meal!!!! I highly recommend Orozco's!!!!! Give them a try!!!!!!

    Stumbled upon this gem while cruising through the Delta. It is located across the Walnut Grove…read morebridge. There is plenty of seating next to the trailer but I assume on busy days parking can be a challenge. I tried 3 carne asada tacos at $2.50 each (Cash Only). Tacos were tasty and salsa wasn't too spicy. Service was friendly and fast. The ambiance of eating outside with the Delta breeze flowing through the air is enough reason to stop and check this place out. Hours of operation are Tuesday-Sunday 9:30am-6pm with extended hours during seasonal months. I will definitely be back!
