    Inside
    Cori C.

    Stopped in here while I was running errands to grab something to go. I had never eaten here before and it is very charming inside. The staff were friendly and the food was made quickly. I had their vegetarian burrito and made it vegan by omitting the cheese and sour cream. My boyfriend had a chicken burrito and they both were very good. We plan to come back for dinner ti dine in one day now that we know it's here.

    Got food to go. Ordered 2 Al pastor burritos and a cheese quesadilla. He asked if I wanted super. I said yes. Rang up the order and it was $40+ I was kinda confused by how much each item costs. Food was prepared pretty quick. Look inside the bag. No salsa. I shouldn't have to asked for that. Get home. Only got 1 napkin(minor issue) but we ordered 3 items. The burritos were carnitas not Al pastor. It was dry pieces of meat. The quesadilla was $11 for one small tortilla folded in half! Smh! To expensive and food wasn't great. Won't be going back.

    This restaurant is nice and clean!! Friendly staff. You order at the counter first then they serve you. They have beers and delicious sangria. When you sit down, they serve you chips and salsa while you wait for your food to arrive. I think I ate 3 chips and then VOILA! Here comes my food! That was fast! The food is good and fresh. I really enjoyed my taco salad in the tortilla bowl. First of all, the shell was crispy and not oily or old. This was the first time I actually ate the entire bowl! Secondly, this is truly a salad. No rice and beans to weigh you down. It was very good! Overall, I would return here when I'm in Vacaville again.

    One container for 3 entrées?! The one container wasn't even enough for my burrito. I needed two.

    The food is great, but the fight to get salsa with your burrito or taco is no bueno. If u have a burrito or any entrée you should be given a salsa. If u want more sure u can charge me. But gosh darn it why can't a girl get some salsa with her burrito?? And when u ask them for more they get irritated with u. Why give me chips with my two tacos if I have no salsa??! I'm so confused. You can also do like other restaurants that have a squeeze bottle and charge for your salsa if u are really concerned about it. PLEASE START GIVING OUT SALSA WITH OUR ORDERS Thank you, The people

    Regular carne asada burrito

    Stopped by for dinner on two different occassions. The style of this restaurant is "order first, then seat yourself," though the register area is a bit small so it can get a little crowded at the door. Overall, the dining area is very clean. The workers wipe down and clean tables right after a group leaves. Since you can see the kitchen from the dinining room, you can also see that the kitchen is very clean and that they scrub their grill often. They also seem to have a strong exhaust fan over their grill, which is a PLUS so that the restaurant doesn't smell like straight up food. The employees are also really friendly and attentive to anything you need and serve you with a smile. For both of my meals here, I ordered... Regular carne asada burrito - Inside, it had rice, beans, and pico de gallo. The meat is nicely marinated and not dry. However, I felt like something was missing from my burrito both times. Overall, pretty solid burrito experience. Horchata - really good! I got the last bit from the container and I was worried that it would taste watery from all the melted ice. I thought wrong! It had the right amount of sweetness and the perfect amount of cinnamon that none of the flavors were too overpowering. Probably would consider the drink the best part of my meal.

    I've been here a few times and it used to be good and reasonably priced. I ordered a chili relleno plate for lunch to go. No drink, no nothing. $19.51 out the door. I get home and I barely saw anything green in my relleno. What I did see was extremely thin piece of paper like pepper. There was hard, to chewy cheese and omg, the batter was burnt on the bottom, felt like I was chewing on a dam dry sponge. That was the texture. There was no stem which is typically part of the dish and resembles a chili relleno. Just horrible. My pepper not only paper thin, but was all of 3" long and an inch wide. All I got was a sponge type thick batter and it was gross. Never again. $19.51 for this was ridiculous. Oh they also gave me chips but no salsa. What good are chips with no salsa?? Way too expensive and not worth the money. There is a Mexican restaurant in the Alamo plaza that has great Rellenos with rice and beans, and I got two Rellenos for $16.00 and change. Won't be going back to Favella's. Very disappointed.

We arrived about 1 PM just after the lunch, rush and before happy hour. We ordered street tacos chicken tortilla soup and margaritas!

The server was a very nice lady named Eunice. She brought us water and took our drink orders. I he margaritas came out fast and were flavorful with a nice kick to them. The restaurant itself was clean and had two sections to it as well as a bar. There were TVs all around, so we were able to watch a cooking show and some sporting events in between catching up with my besties. The food came out and everything was hot and fresh and if you know me that is vevery important! We finished off the chicken tortilla soup, which was seasoned really well and big chunks of chicken and avocado and lots of cheese. The street tacos were very good and just enough to get a taste. If you're ever in Vacaville and looking for Mexican food, I would definitely recommend stopping by.

They are attentive and treat you nicer than you expect at a business. The food is served in very generous portions and they make a good, house made, horchata. I recommend ordering some. If grandkids are listening, I say the food is pulled up a bit by you're hospitality. Pico de gallo? A blended maybe cooked tomato chili salsa? Freshly chopped onion and cilantro? The rice is a bit bland, but when combined with the red wet burrito sauce, it is fantastic. I think a drizzle of that sauce should be on the inside of every burrito. I am a foodie, and I am giving you a full five stars overall, but recommend a little more fresh veggie. I only write reviews if establishments are excellent or somehow a disappointment. Tacos Jalisco is excellent and deserves your business.

While waiting for our food, I enjoyed a bottle of Pacifico and some chips and salsa. The salsa had a nice balance, not too spicy and not too mild. The carnitas were tender and flavorful, and the bowl was filling without feeling overly heavy, and my wife was happy with her quesadilla as well. The restaurant has a bright, inviting atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. A couple of tables hadn't been cleaned yet when we arrived, but we quickly found a clean spot and settled in. The food arrived promptly, and overall we had a very enjoyable meal. I'd definitely stop here again.

I tried this place after hearing good things and ordered the nachos. The chips didn't have much salt or flavor and mostly tasted like fried oil. The meat was a bit dry, tough, and overly salty for my preference. I was also surprised they don't offer pico de gallo. Overall, the dish just didn't have the balance or freshness I was hoping for. One thing that would make a big difference is execution. Great nachos should be layered, whether dine-in or takeout, so that cheese and toppings are distributed throughout instead of only on top. That prevents ending up with dry chips halfway through. At the current price point, a little more attention to layering would really elevate the dish. I also noticed the onions were chopped inconsistently, with some large pieces and some very small ones. More uniform chopping would improve both texture and presentation. Eating out isn't inexpensive, so I naturally look for quality and consistency. This feedback is simply meant to be helpful, not critical. I truly believe small adjustments can make a big difference. For now, I'll stick to cooking at home or visiting some of my favorite out-of-town spots that consistently execute dishes well. Whether it's a small hole-in-the-wall or a high-end restaurant, when a kitchen understands proper technique and balance, it shows. When you know, you know.
