Great food and lovely atmosphere. Ordering ahead for pick up is also a great option. The parking can be tough but there is a shopping center nearby to help,. read more

Great service, great food. I was there for Cinco de Mayo. Place is clean and fun. Great drinks as well.

Dinner = trash Service =trash Will not ever be returning. Thx but no thanks I gave two stars because I'm nice and the dessert was halfway decent. read more

We were driving by the other day and remembered we once ate here many years ago, it probably wasn't the same name or owners, but we've been searching for some better Mexican food after Colina del Oro closed and decided to give Los Pinos a try. We came about 5 and the place wasn't too busy, we were seated right away and served chips, salsa, and bean dip -- we enjoyed them all, though the salsa could be a little spicier. I ordered a 20oz Negra Modelo which was only $5.50, and my wife ordered a margarita since many of the reviews rave about them. My beer was only a 12oz, and the margarita was fairly bland, but ok. We got another helping of chips, salsa and bean dip and were fine. I ordered my goto Mexican dinner, two chicken tacos, rice and beans; my wife got the bacon wrapped camerones appetizer. Both our meals were very good, this was particularly gratifying because there's just so much mediocre Mexican food in the area, we really wanted something better. The service was a little slow, but the waitress was friendly and easy on the eyes, and we weren't in any hurry. Other than not getting the larger beer I had no complaints (I was charged for the 12oz so either she didn't hear me or wrote it down wrong), my wife was less impressed with the margaritas, but we came for the food (actually she was looking forward to a good margarita). All in all though we both gave it a thumbs up and will come back, hopefully it will be as good the next time! read more

It's always fun to try a new place. I was a little skeptical based on the few reviews that were negative regarding the service. I must say, the service was excellent , from the hostess to the servers and waitress, they all get 5 stars. Now to the food. We started with the Camarones Infierno which was a delicious, very spicy, appetizer. With the bar set so high from the fiery shrimp we were disappointed by our entree' s. I had one of their "signature" dishes the Chile Verde. Unfortunately it was mediocre in flavor and presentation. The same was true for the chicken enchilada's my wife ordered. We'll definitely give them a second try, but try something else. read more

They are losing a star because I am getting REALLY disappointed with their food. The last two times my food has been cold, bland, and really lacking what I originally loved about them!!! I hope they can pull it together. read more

We have been coming here since it opened and I have always loved the food and people, however it seems they have gotten new owners and the food quality has gone WAAAy down hill, needless to say I don't think I will get my husband to ever return after his meal and I don't blame him. I ordered the balsa tacos, my long time favorite and it was ok until I took a bite of my husbands which ruined everything I ate after that. He ordered the waitress recommended salmon. It was honestly the nastiest thing I have ever eaten. I have felt sick since I left there and we tried to get ice cream after to help settle our tummies. The salmon was super old, freezer burned and chewy very chewy. It makes me sick thinking about it. I am very disappointed because I really really liked this place. read more

The salsa was good, but nothing else was. Had the ranchero enchiladas with beef. Expected steak but got ground meat with **zero** seasoning. Sauce on top was flavorless and watery. The blandest Mexican food I have ever eaten. Even the black beans just tasted like they came out of can 5 minutes earlier. Super disappointed. read more

Restaurant was clean and has a nice decor. Hostess greeted us right away. They bring chips, 2 salsas and a bean dip to the table shortly after being seated. Menu has a varied, but not overly large. I asked our waitress about the drink special posted and she had no clue what I was talking about. We tried 4 different entrees and 2 alcohol drinks. My mojito was great, but the margarita tasted a little watered down. The entrees are served with cilantro rice and black beans. They were okay, but I prefer a variety of options like pinto or refried. My pork taco also had a corn tortilla that was warmed, but not fried or grill so it just spilt in half. Overall service was quick and efficient, but I wasn't Wow'd by the food. 2 1/2 stars. read more

Terrible meal. Apparently they have new owners and the owners don't believe in quality food or cooking. Picture this. Four people, all starving after spending most of the day doing post-moving work. We decide to try a local Mexican restaurant that has been around for a while and get some food and drinks. We start with the complimentary chips and salsa. They bring two types of salsa and a bean dip. The salsa was thin and watery. The bean dip likely came out of a can. Food arrives. Two people had avocado served on their plate that was rubbery and inedible. None of the food had much flavor. This was a Friday night and they only had two people serving tables. We did get seated fast, but that was simply because there was only one other table taken. When we complained about the quality the waitress tried to smooth things over, but basically told us about new owners and got a little defensive about the bad avocados. We suggested they go across the parking lot to Bel-Air to get some fresh avocados and were informed they were not allow to do this because of blah blah blah. One person felt sick to their stomach the next day. I honestly have nothing good to say about this place other than the convenient location. read more

Fine dining options are few and far between in Cameron Park, so Los Pinos is an acceptable addition to the area. This place has the same menu as Cascada in Placerville (La Colina and Bricks also have the same owner). Service was adequate and the waits were not long for the opening Saturday night at 7:30. The food was fine, not memorable, as is the strip-mall location. read more

Los Pinos - Los Pinos - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

If you like Cascada (in Placerville) you will like this place. It's basically the same menu. I'm trying to cut back on the 4 and 5 star reviews I make, but this place definitely rates in at a 4. As with most Mexican restaurants there were chips on the table as we waited, I must say they were actually very good! I know it sounds silly but you get so many other places that have stale, overcooked or over salted chips. Onto the service. I felt they did a pretty good job and were attentive, and were very friendly. Now the main dish (pun intended ;-) ) The food is not authentic Mexican, its definitely American-Mexican. But it was very very very good. I got the brocheta which is basically strips of steak, bell peppers, onions and BACON all sauteed together. They service with rice, beans, lettuce, avacado and corn or flour tortillas... Now onto dessert.... GET DESSERT.... GET THE CHURROS! I actually rarely get dessert but we were out with some friends. The churro is good enough for 2 to share, unless your starved. It's delicious and comes in a bowl of amazing ice cream! read more

We like to hit Los Pinos whenever we are close to Cameron Park! The bean dip & chips are your first clue that the meals will be 4-5 star quality. The quantity is perfect (although I always leave with a to-go container or two). Arrives hot, tastes fresh, and feels authentic (vs Tex Mex). Menu offers some unique items. Margaritas are ENORMOUS! Restaurant is clean and attractive- the patio is nice, as well! Staff is very friendly & attentive. Prices are "average" & what you expect across the board these days. We are returning customers - and plan to continue to be. Excellent, authentic Mexican food. read more

This place used to be an Indian restaurant that I really liked and I was sad to see it go, but I'm not sad anymore. I just had the fish tacos (tacos de basa) and the fish (talapia basically) was cooked perfectly, lots of avocado and other good stuff in them as well. It came with an excellent side of rice that was different than the rice at any other mexican restaurant I 've ever been to (and that's a LOT). and with beans and chips and salsa for $10. I'll be back. read more

Omg love the atmosphere and a great bar Stopped by to have a quick drink for happy hour ! Best drink I had in a long time .., got a shrimp appetizer !! Yummy ! Go in say hi to Megan the bartender ... Also has a great out side patio !!! read more

Good. Salsa and raspberry tea. Reasonable pricing, outdoor patio seating. Prompt and accurate service. I had the steak fajita wrap. read more

Los Pinos - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

The food is fantastic. I haven't had a bad meal here yet and we come here a lot. However, it seems like every time we customize our order a bit, it's rarely right. It's not a huge deal, but can be annoying for someone who has very specific requests. Service is usually good, but can be slow at times. Overall, this is one of the best Mexican places in the area in my opinion. Any place that serves (good) chips, salsa, and bean dip when you sit down is fine by me! read more

Stopped for lunch and ordered Taco salad with ground beef. No beans or rice, no taco flavor, beef tasted like it had been boiled or steamed, very little cheese. I couldn't eat it. Right now my stomach is rumbling. read more

Left this restaurant before we ordered after a 20-minute wait with other tables who were seated after us being waited on before us. This is the second time that the wait staff was unattentive. OK food but service is lacking. We are local and sorry to write off this restaurant as one we would often attend. read more

I was really excited to try this place - the reviews on it are pretty good, but unfortunately our experience was not. We went on a week night - not too busy - bar was a little loud, but I'm pretty sure they may have had happy hour winding down so the hostess offered to put us in a quieter area - very nice. We were greeted immediately after a server - chips, salsa, yummy bean dip - GREAT! She brought us waters gave us time to look over the menu, took our order and about 45 mins later we were still waiting on a steak burrito and a taco salad. We went through a server change - I get it, it happens. The new server just wasn't attentive and lacked all customer service skills possible. Four tables that arrived after us received their food long before we did and every time she came by she said it would be just another minute and never offered to replenish chips, salsa(s) or drinks. When the food finally arrived it was only sub par - nothing to write home about. Overall I was disappointed and won't be returning. On the positive side the Smokey Margarita was delicious! :) read more

Tried this place multiple times, but always ended up disappointed. Food is bland, salsa is watery, and service is only good from 1 one the servers. Most are brand new and don't seem to know the restaurant well. Would much rather drive up the hill to Colina De Oro in Diamond Springs read more

My husband and I use Los piños as our go to place for Mexican food in cameron park. The food is consistently good and we always appreciate the smiles when we walk thru the doors. I usually order the salmon with capers, spinach and crab... And they never miss. read more

I love this restaurant! Its the same owners as Cascada and nearly the same menu. The drink menu is better than Cascada's. The best drink is the Rico Suave. It might sound a little strange but it is amazing and so refreshing! The drink prices are a little pricey but they are top shelf and strong. You cannot go wrong with anything on the drink menu! I bring lots of people here and everyone has loved the food and the great service. The best dishes in my opinion is the pasta mexicana and puerco con frambuesca. I have liked everything I have tried but those two dishes are my favorite. Best restaurant in Cameron Park! read more

Our server Irie was amazing !!! This place has seriously made tremendous changes. Our drinks were great and our food was loaded. You definitely get what you pay for and more!!!! Definitely making this our annual Mexican restaurant. Whoever was the chef tonight did an amazing job highly recommend read more

Terrible dining experience tonight for dinner. We've been to Los Pinos before and were excited about having dinner together, so I know they can do this correctly. Wow, where do I start. This was a hot mess. We were seated quickly at a booth and they brought out the chips and salsa. The waitress waited for us to decide and close our menus before taking our orders. I was impressed. She used a tablet. I figured that high tech ordering would go from our table right to the kitchen and speed up the process. But Nooooo. Before our food got there we were soon on our 4th basket of chips. Super slow service. The first plate to arrive was the daily special...miniscule! This is really going to fill up a 14 year old eating machine? The second plate to arrive...nachos. You would think nachos with only cheese and the other stuff on the side would be easy. NOPE. The nachos came loaded and even had meat on the top and were promptly sent back to be fixed. The replacement nachos got there in lightening fast speed and it looked like they dumped a few chips on a plate, very lightly put some cheese on and nuked it. The waitress confirmed that was exactly correct. For 10.95? Really? I told the waitress we were not happy and she offered to take them off the bill. I ate my burrito, which was just average. When I got to the rice and beans they were not fully cooked. I hate taking a big bite of uncooked rice or beans! The waitress noted that they were busy tonight. My guess. ...we got the new pots that were served before they were finished cooking. None of us finished our food. None of us took any leftovers. That NEVER happens. Now it's time for the bill. Comp - ed nachos still on the bill and the daily special had the not so special price. We won't be back. . read more

I've been to Los Pinos twice now, each time before having surgery and I had the same waitress/bartender each time. She was Amazing, smiles, laughter, and you could tell she really loves her job! This is great in my book. I highly recommend the food her. This time I tried the traditional enchiladas and requested chilli verde sauce instead of the red. It was so scrumptious. I will be back Thank you lovey. Service was incredible and so was the food... read more

Had a great dinner there with friends. Nice friendly place, good service & fantastic Chile verde, my go-to choice. The blonde server who spoke with me on the way out was a doll & so sweet, made me feel like a special diner. Will tell everyone about the fabulous place to eat great Mexican food. read more

Love their salsa and I highly recommend the smokey peach margarita. Food and service were both excellent! read more

The restaurant was clean, but the food was just okay. Wasn't bad, but I think there are better places to eat in Folsom and Cameron park.

Nothing compared to cascadas!! But same prices. Salsa looks the same and good quality. Casa Ramos is way better in quality and more choices! I'll never be back to this place :( read more

We came as a family, to try out the new owners and kitchen. The place is nicely updated with flowers, and new paint. Unfortunately the most important part the kitchen is the bummer. It is all too average. In fact if I ate a lot here, I would probably rate the kitchen a 2 star experience. My wife's tortilla soup was too salty and very unmemorable. This used to be one of the really excellent dishes here. Burritos for my son's were dry I mean really dry, no need to go on. Good luck for great Mexican in EDC. You probably won't find it, and as one reviewer already noted, the taste from Los Pinos is now gone. Personally my favorite Mexican food that rates 4 and 5 star are not in E.D. County, so if you are hungry and you like a nice atmosphere, and good bar this place can probably do you fine. The ambiance and staff are all very nice and I hope the owners can improve the kitchen. read more

Excellent Mexican food and great customer service! Great for kids. I go here all the time.

My favorite gourmet Mexican food! Luis the manager is awesome, he takes good care of us each time we come, we can sit outside with our dog and the people are so nice to us to bring us water and love to our pooch. You guys are awesome, delicious food, Enchiladas Potocinas are my favorite dish and it is vegetarian! read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Outdoor patio is beautiful! Love this place, definitely the best restaurant in the area!!!

We went here on Valentines day. It was pretty busy, but they were able to take our group reservation at last minute. I was not impressed with the service, the food or prices. They brought our drinks in a timely manner but it was bad from there, no refills as we waited and waited we finally asked for refills of which they then brought pitchers to fill our own. The food took quite awhile and when it came i was disappointed in both quantity and quality. I ordered the chili rellenos they tasted just ok Ive had better and one little portion of rice. I did not want beans so I thought they would fill the space with more rice,NOT. My husband said his plate was greasy and did not taste that good. I will avoid this place from now on. read more

This was my second time to the restaurant, both times were at lunch during the weekday. 1st time was with my wife and second time was with my work partner... Both times I was pretty satisfied... The food was good, service was good, the timing for service was good and was always tended to when drinks were low, or if we needed anything else... The server spent time to answer any questions we had, he even offered the upstairs area for business meetings if needed and more... I was looking the negative comments, previously (which I'm sure were valid), I'd say for now that something has changed and perhaps these folks are bettering their service overall... Personally, I have not seen any issues pertaining to the previous (-) comments, at least for now... Again, something must have changed... Will keep an eye out... Oh, another note DIRTY RESTROOMS, especially in restaurants, are a pet peeve of mine for obvious reasons. These restrooms were pretty decent, well the MEN'S at least.... Looked like it was kept up... Worse thing is to have staff using a dirty restroom and serving or cooking your food... TMI Looking forward to spending time here in the near future... read more

Just spent $60 trying to help out businesses in the area. Ordered for curbside pick up. I got about a third of the amount of food in the order than if I had been able to go in and sit down. This restaurant should be ashamed for scamming people with this pathetic mediocre amount of food. read more

I tried this Mexican restaurant because we just moved to the area and were craving good Mexican food. Good Mexican food is not what you'll receive. Most everything is microwaved and store bought. Next time I'll save my money and microwave it myself!.. on a side note the staff was super friendly. But that does not make for terrible food! read more

Lousy lousy customer service. Placed an order through door dash. Steak rancheros delivered without tortillas, without guacamole and without sour cream. Which isn't the end of the world. However when I called the restaurant both people I spoke with offered no apology and blew me off by telling me to just contact door dash. No, oops we're sorry we got that wrong. Nope just rudeness. Rude. They just lost a loyal customer. read more

Brought my wife and our three girls to dinner tonight. All was good until a group came into the bar and the language and volume was ridiculous. Please know your surroundings and who's around!!
