Two rooms, one has lots of tall bar seating and one room has regular sit down tables. Service was really good. Our server was very attentive. We ordered the bbq wings and giant pretzel for appetizers. The wings were delicious and moist and the pretzel was fluffy and hot! They were delicious! The disappointment was in my sandwich. I ordered the gobbler. It was a combo of hot and cold. The bottom bread was soggy and the turkey and cheese being hot with the Cole slaw and cranberry relish being cold gave it a weird taste. I didn't like it. Sadness but the fries that came with it was great! So crispy! My husband's bbq tri tip sandwich he liked but didn't like because he said the chimichuri sauce was not good with the tri tip.. he had to scrape that off and added bbq sauce. Overall I think it's a hit and miss. But I will be back to try other items.

We were meeting a friend and they had gotten a table for us before we arrived, but it wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables available. We're glad we had a chance to try Cantina Pedregal before it changes into Nixtaco- although now having been to both you're going to have delicious food either way. The restaurant is beautiful and whoever did the interior design was so thoughtful with the furniture, colors and ambiance. It's very warm, welcoming and calming inside. A great date spot or place for a meeting. The lunch menu has a good variety of options, and is broken down into smaller bites/appetizers, salads, main plates, and then sides. It's a nice spot to share dishes so you can try more items and share the sides. We ended up getting the chips and salsa ($7) with an extra salsa ($4), Grilled Black Half Chicken ($23), and Fideo Seco ($14). Our friend got the Carne Asada Tacos ($24), Refried Beans ($12), and Red Rice ($10). The sides were shareable and needed, since the entrees came on their own. Our friend added some of the beans, rice and Fideo Seco on their tacos and our chicken did come with some tortillas to make our own tacos or eat on it's own. Everything was high quality and flavorful. The Fideo Seco was surprisingly my favorite item. It is vermicelli pasta with sofrito, chorizo and egg yolk and was very tasty. The chicken was good, but hard to eat without using your hands to get all the meat off the bones- the messy hands didn't seem to fit with the restaurant vibe but we loved the flavor and how tender the chicken was. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh, but it seemed like a lot to charge $4 for the ramekins of salsas. I would pass on chips and salsa next time. Overall it was a great vibe, high quality food and good service. Definitely more of a treat meal or great spot to impress a date or business client. For a regular chill meal it felt a bit expensive, but I think they're going for more upscale.

Our waiter was amazing his name was Doug he explained the menu to us . It could be a lot but he helped us . Doug was very helpful and attentive. We ordered drinks my favorite one was called Sol Dorado . I wish they had more Gin drinks I had the only Gin drink called Brissa Del Mar but ,I was not a fan . For food we ordered the Caesar salad , sweet potato which was amazing. For our main dish we ordered the cazuela (Asado De Puerco ) which is pork stew it came with handmade corn tortillas . We made some delicious tacos out of it . I had to get dessert they all sounded so good! We got the Smoked Pumpkin Tres Leches delicious. Overall, it was a different experience the food is a bit different and I'm Mexican BTW but it's from a part in Mexico called Monterey every part in Mexico has their own way of cooking . The menu its self is different you order to share . It's a little on the pricier side but the portions were a good size for sharing . I feel like for the main entree there is not that many options on there wish to see more . Overall we had a great time . Great food and ambiance.

Very disappointing experience We're locals, but we moved…read morefrom the East Bay many years ago, where there was an abundance of delicious, authentic Mexican food. Unfortunately, this restaurant was neither delicious nor what we would consider authentic. We stopped in for lunch today around 12:30 after a local store owner recommended that we give it a try. The patio is nice, the music selection was good, and our waitress was pleasant, although she appeared to be overwhelmed. We started with chips and salsa. The chips were crispy and pretty good, although extremely salty. The salsa that came with them was very spicy, so we asked for something mild. The mild salsa was actually very good. My mom and aunt each had a glass of Chardonnay and said it was good. Unfortunately, the entrees were a major disappointment. My mom and aunt ordered the mahi mahi tacos. The fish was completely dry and overcooked to the point that it was inedible, so they had to send it back. The rice that accompanied the tacos looked and tasted like Rice-A-Roni, and after two bites, they left it untouched. They ordered a chicken burrito as a replacement, but unfortunately, the chicken was also overcooked and inedible. I ordered the elote appetizer and specifically requested no cilantro. The corn appeared to be a frozen corn cob rather than fresh corn, and it was burnt and covered in cilantro. Since I had specifically asked for no cilantro, I couldn't eat it and set it aside. I also ordered the quesabirria tacos and, once again, they were loaded with cilantro. The waitress had noted my request for no cilantro on everything, so it seemed the chef simply missed the instruction. I sent the tacos back and waited about 15 minutes for a replacement. The beans were actually pretty good, so I ate about half of those, but I didn't touch the rice. When the replacement quesabirria taco arrived, I took one bite and found it contained large chunks of onion, which I found very off-putting. At that point, I pushed the plate aside and didn't eat any more. We eventually asked for the bill, thanked our server, and left disappointed. All told, we spent over $90 plus a $20 tip, and unfortunately, very little of what we ordered was enjoyable. I don't blame our server entirely, as she was pleasant and did try to accommodate our requests, but the service could use some polishing and the food needs a major overhaul. Most disappointing of all, what should have been a simple lunch turned into a two-plus-hour experience. We really wanted to like this place and were happy to support a local restaurant, but based on our experience today, we won't be returning.

The older woman at the front was a bit unprofessional by explaining to us how expensive it was to eat out and how she was frustrated as she was training a bartender which apparently was not her job. All in all we were starving and ended up spending over 100$ and not eating any of it. I would not recommend.

This spot caught our eye so we decided to give it a try without checking reviews first. Walking in I wasn't sure what to expect. The front dining area was empty, and the staff were all gathered. It was early on a Monday, so I figured maybe it gets busier later... We were seated in another dining room, which actually had a few other diners. We ordered chicken enchiladas, mine were the verdes (Swiss-style) and my husband got the red sauce version. We also added a side of guacamole. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our hopes. The guacamole was missing something, maybe lime, cilantro, or seasoning, it just tasted flat. My enchiladas had a strong, almost sour aftertaste from the green sauce. The rice was overly seasoned, and the beans were just okay. The red enchiladas didn't stand out either. It all felt like it was quickly thrown together, hoping the cheese and sauce would do the heavy lifting. For the price we expected much better quality. It was overpriced for what felt like cafeteria style food. That said, the host and waitress were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. So while the service was great, the food just didn't do it for us.

Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas.

I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures. It was very busy and carrying a plate didn't work well when taking pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd.
