    My husband and I tried this spot after work. We sat at the counter. The SERVICE: We were greeted right away walking in the door, the guys were so friendly and answered our questions about their menu. The FOOD: I ordered the Ceviche de pescado and they sliced up the fish and made it right in front me, asked my spice tolerance- I like it HOT! He left me the bottle of hot sauce! :3 My husband ordered a birria taco, fish taco, quesataco with birria, and regular beef street taco. Everything was so flavorful! This is quality food and everyone should give it a shot! The AMBIANCE: It was a little hot inside their restaurant, ac might have been out? Dining room was pretty packed full of jovial people singing along to the band! Just good vibes despite the heat but they have cold beer :) the quality food, and the friendly service is worth it alone. We will see you again El Tito!

    Birria Tacos with consume.
    Sunny S.

    El Tito's is an authentic Mexican restaurant with the best Birria Tacos I have ever eaten. What I liked so much about them is that the consume wasn't salty. The taste of beef was prominent without the extreme salt. Their tacos were hearty, they don't skimp on the beef. I was stuffed after two tacos. The quality was exceptional and the business is very clean. The gentleman who served was super nice, great customer service. He may have been part owner. I highly recommend El Tito on Arden Way. You won't be disappointed.

    Steak tacos and rice

    The food was great, the lobby and dining area clean and the customer service was excellent. I will definitely be back for more tacos and rice

    Chicken Enmoladas

    Food was way overpriced for what you get. Anytime I try a new Mexican restaurant, I get the same thing I always order: chicken mole. It's my staple. I can safely say this was the worst I've had. To start any cocktail on their menu is $15. Last time I saw prices that high was Vegas or the airport. After going through three beers (on their tap and menu) the bartender finally found one that wasn't. Want chips and salsa? Gotta order them as an appetizer. $$ Entree came out and I sent a photo of my $24 entree to my girlfriend. She asked if I was eating Mexican or Chinese. Her confusion is easily explained by the carrots in my rice and the sesame seeds on my chicken mole. The chicken tasted like it came from a can, only with some overcooked crunchy bits. There were slivers of onions inside, despite no indication of such on the menu. Speaking of menu, words were misspelled, whomever wrote the menu didn't use a space bar half the time, and it was as sticky as a movie theater floor. As someone that travels here every other week for work, I'll stick to Denny's for a more pleasant experience f I don't want to drive far from my hotel.

    Pulpo Zarandeado cooked to perfection!

    First time here and this is our new favorite Mexican spot. Came in early and no one was there which scared us a bit almost thought about leaving, but so happy we ended up staying. It's different from most Mexican spots out here. The food was delicious and the service was great! Will be back to try more of their food especially the seafood !

    Best michelada! And sea food I had the best shrimp cocktail

    Best michelada! Finding a good sea food place is hard! This place is hands down my favorite! The shrimp is clean, the location is fresh and clean. It's always the "small business" that has the best food. It's a little hole in the wall. Ppl complaining on here about how small the place is are just a bunch of nagging unhappy ppl. Or about how the bathroom is outside. It's a clean bathroom clean establishment. Great food, great taste, great service. This will be now My new spot for Sundays!

    Super fresh food, great service and delicious food, el ceviche was pretty average but everything else was delicious

    Agua de cebada
    Junior A.

    El Tito is brand new with about a month open but that does not mean they are new to the food industry. They've been making Mariscos for a while. The place is freshly remodeled. Don't let the small location fool you this place has HUGE taste. They have a big menu to suit your craving. The woman up front at the counter was super nice and they had a QR code to sign for a digital menu if you didn't want to look at the big screen. The menu ranges from birria, asada, menudo, mariscos and more. The first time I had it I tried their mariscos and had a little bit of everything. Everything was amazing including the salsas. I came back today and tried the "Birria Torta". That thing was. 20/10 it was bomb.com. It has melted/grilled cheese, birria, onion, and cilantro. It also is served with a side of consume, other places normally charge for a side of it. The torta is pretty big and I thought I wasn't going to finish it but it was so good I couldn't resist. It comes stuffed it hella birria. I had it with the orange salsa that brings all the flavors together. I even had the side of consume it felt like I had ordered a mini birria caldo. This is some of the best birria I've had in awhile and probably the best in Sacramento. To drink I had an agua de cebada which isn't to common up here. The place is Sinaloa style food so of course they had to carry it. If you've never heard of it try it you won't regret it.

    Camarones Zarandeados

    Pulpo ala plancha was not ala plancha it was more butter poached lack of seasoning. Camarones good but overcooked. No water offered, no chips, no salsa or tostadas offered. The waitress just gave us two forks and napkins. Price was $78 for Camarones ala plancha, pulpo ala plancha 1 beer and 1 soda water. Also bathroom is outside the restaurant and it was clogged when we went. Overall not the best service they definitely need to work on offering a better experience specially if they want to accomplish a real Sinaloa style restaurant.

    Shrimp taco middle, birria taco right, consume on the left.

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.

    I found Rosa Madera when searching for "queso" in Yelp...(I really was wanting some queso)…read more Anyways, funnily enough, I read through the menu when I got here and ended up getting nachos in place of the queso...that's fine though, it gave me an excuse to come back another day. It's a nice looking place inside, especially considering its general location. They were busy even at an off hour mid-week, but I can see why because the food is great and so is the atmosphere. My first visit, I tried the following: Enchilada Verde (Lunch Menu), Mini Birria Tacos (Lunch Menu), and Nachos de la Casa (with asada). They also brought out complimentary chicharrones de harina, which was especially nice because I was super hungry! My second visit I had the following: Queso Con Rajás Dip, Los Favoritos, and the Burrito de Carnitas (Lunch Menu). I ended up liking the nachos way more than the queso. I wasn't expecting the queso to just be the consistency of slightly melted cheese. I also wish they were a bit more generous with the chips since I ran out of chips way sooner than the dips. No complaints on my main dish portions though! Really loved most things I've tried. The presentation of my dishes I've ordered here, the Enchilada Verde and the Burrito de Carnitas, was great too. The chicken was just slightly too dry for the Enchilada, but the flavor made up for it. Only complaint is while the service was nice, it was SO slow both times I've been here. It took forever to get the check and when they did bring out the card reader you can't see the receipt, only a total. Then their lowest automatic tipping button is set at over 22% (with two higher percent options), which is honestly crazy to me since most places start at around 18%. I way overtipped on accident the first time I came. I think it's highly likely they get overtipped for this reason, which is nice for them but kind of not fair to the customer. I'll continue to return!

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. I'm definitely gonna come back when my brother and his wife come up from the Bay Area my friend Ivan he'll wanna go there for lunch or dinner I know.
