The location has the Mexican decor that you would expect. The staff is friendly and our server checked on us a couple times. The prices are reasonable, and the dining area is clean. Based on these observations you would think the review would be higher. Unfortunately when it comes to the most important area to review this restaurant struggles. The food is average. We order taquitos for an appetizer and we had Ground beef enchiladas, Asad street tacos, and Pollo San Marcos. All of these were ok. They needed salt, and more seasoning. Taquitos were dry and the salsa didn't help. The enchilada red sauce taste like it's out of a can. Nothing special about the sides of rice and retried beans. Overall this review was based on the food and we expected more from an "Authentic " Mexican restaurant. read more

Amazing staff and great margaritas! Love coming here. The chips and salsa are fresh and beans are warm. My only complaint, first world problems lol, no phone service. read more

We visited Los Pinos for the first time tonight and we will be back. The entire experience was a delight. They were quite just so we had a bit of a wait to get a table. We went to the bar snd ordered a margarita as we heard they were great. They were quite good and packed quite a punch! We were escorted to our table in just a few minutes. We had ample time to review their extensive menu as we enjoyed our drinks and the chips, salsa, and warm bean dip. Yummy! Prut ordered came out quickly and was visually and tastefully prepared. The chicken enchilada dinner was great. The enchiladas were filled with shredded chicken and the sides were perfect. The chili relleno dinner was good as well. Just the right amount of egg batter. Lots of cheese inside and the perfect amount of sauce. We enjoyed every bite. They were quite busy but the staff was friendly and helpful. Since things have opened up as the Covid restrictions have lifted, it's nice to see local businesses thrive once again. We noticed a new person who was clearing tables and checking in with diners to make sure all was well. Upon asking, we learned that it was the manager who happened to drop in, saw it was swamped, and immediately jumped in to support his staff. Bravo!! read more

The food here is amazing. The staff is so courteous and welcoming. We have come at least three times since discovering this jewel a month or so ago. Price is commensurate with the market - but the portions and quality is outstanding. I recommend the Albondigas and Chicken Tortilla Soup - especially with an entree! Ambur loves the bean and cheese burrito, wet with sour cream or the shrimp enchiladas. read more

I'd give them zero stars if I could. It says they're open up the outside the hours that are posted on Yelp say they're open until 10 but they are closed at 9:29. And on the night of the local HS graduate night people are coming out to celebrate... Good luck. read more

Ordered online to go for 9 people. Everything was correct and they even labeled each order for us. Food was fine.

The service was awful.. We waited for over an hour for our food. I had to go find someone to get a water refill. I asked for double rice and no beans. I barely got any rice. Way too expensive for this service. It took so long we didn't even eat. Terrible place. read more

My wife and I frequent Los Pinos often and have tried the majority of their menu. I love the salmon and a close second is the Molechete . The staff is friendly and attentive. Family and friends from out of town get brought here when they visit. Could not recommend this place more. read more

Food was great, I loved the Los Pinos Tacos. We also had great, well priced, margaritas. Loved the vibe, especially on the patio. Our server, Violet I believe, was awesome and very attentive and even got our dog some water while we were dining on the patio. Would definitely recommend coming here! The churros and ice-cream dessert is also just fantastic! read more

Very rude staff!! The food used to be good, not so much now. Ordered a $22.00 ribeye and it was rancid and smelled... one bite and instantly sick. Everything was bad even tortilla chips were fried in rancid oil. That's my last time going there read more

My boyfriend ordered food from your restaurant tonight through door dash, 1/3 through his burrito, he got to bite into this piece of plastic. It is absolutely ridiculous to not be able to eat the food you ordered, for fear of breaking your teeth. I really wish I could give 0 stars. Would NEVER recommend. read more

Los Pinos - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Been living here almost 8 years and haven't found a good Mexican restaurant! I am originally from Southern California where we have the best, Mexican restaurants, and then then most recently Bay Area. This place in my opinion is comparable to SoCal Mexican restaurants. Very good! So thankful our friend recommended it because we didn't even know it was there. read more

Best Mexican cuisine in Cameron Park area. Deliveries are usually fast and the food excellent especially if you're on a budget. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely love this place! Fresh ingredients that make the meal feel nutritional which can be hard to find with Mexican food. They're very aware of substitutions with food sensitivities too which is a bonus. Definitely recommend! Taco salad is killer!!!! read more

Los Pinos - Chicken Taco salad(no dairy) - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Good food, great service. Bathrooms need help.

Our server Stacy is outstanding! She always takes great care of us and the food is good too.

I'm giving two stars for our server's sake. Otherwise, it would just be one. We we're not having at all with our experience there. The food took forever to be served and when it did come it was undercooked. The beans and rice were hard and the rentree was cool. The portions were very small for a Mexican food restaurant but the prices were high. The only bright spot was our server, who was very sweet. Not going back. Ever. read more

great food and service Wonderful place for a sangria

We ordered food from Los Pines DoorDash last weekend. We ate dinner about 7:30 pm. About 2:00 a.m. is when I awoke in a cold sweat, crazy headache and food poisoning. Yep, food poisoning. Vomiting and diarrhea that lasted until 6:30 a.m. and benched me the entire day. It was so violent at one point, we debated a hospital trip. I've had good food at this place in the past, but if food poisoning is an option on the menu, I'm now done with Los Pinos for good. Any restaurant that gives one food poisoning needs to be halted. read more

Have been to this little "gem" in Cameron Park a number of times. Food and service have always been exceptional, especially like the Salsa and RFB served with chips. Happy Hour everyday from 2-6!!! If you're trying to make healthy choices for your entree, select one of their chicken salads. Always fresh, and can feed two. Thirsty? Ask for Lacy to prepare you one of her "special" marga read more

Delicious food with a fantastic colorful cute environment! Great prices for the amount of food you get too. Has become my favorite local Mexican restaurant. read more

Love their street taco dish. Food always good and margaritas to just make them that much better. Service is always friendly. Actually seems better each time. Decor is comfortable and the space does let you know you're in a Mexican restaurant. Needs a little updating but really just fine. Would absolutely recommend this place. read more

The food came out of a dumpster and was reheated. I was sorely disappointed a Mexican joint in CP would be this low of quality. We ordered the fajita for 2 combination with steak, chicken and carnitas. The fixings includes a teaspoon of sour cream & a micro teaspoon that was premade from Walmart. The beans were out of a can and the rice must have been microwaved. I am completely appalled to even be writing a review but when food is this low quality, the world needs to be informed. The steak, carnitas (dry), beans, rice and complementary salsa were all EXTREMELY bland...no flavor...none. I will say, the chicken in the fajitas was the only meat on the plate that had flavor. My boyfriend was joking on the way home El Pollo Loco or Taco Bell would have been better than this place. I'm not writing this review to be cruel but to simply inform the restaurant they need to do better. I'm giving 2 stars on behalf of the kind staff. read more

Great service and great food!! I always enjoy coming here for dinner or for happy hour. You won't be disappointed!!

We don't go out of to eat often and we decided to try here. We sat in the bar. We listened to all the staff drama and were barely attended to. We were very specific with our orders and the bartender didn't write them down. Then asked for all the information again as she put them in the computer. Then the food came out wrong and not one apology the whole time. They even tried to take off what shouldn't have been on my plate without making a new order. Not one adult or actual manager was anywhere present. We will never return. read more

Oh thank the Lord we found this place. We live in El Dorado Hills, and though we love the food at the local taqueria, the lady who takes the orders has just become so unbearably rude that my husband finally said, "I'm not going back". But, this morning, he woke up desperate for a Mexican breakfast. So I googled and found this GEM in Cameron Park. I can't believe anyone has had the audacity to give it bad reviews. It currently opens at 9:00 AM, which I'll grant you is a bit late for breakfast, but man is it worth it. So flavorful and the service was impeccable. Furthermore, the decor / ambiance is the best of any Mexican restaurant in the Folsom / El Dorado Hills / Placerville vicinity. My husband ordered from the menu, but I was craving a Honduran breakfast, so I just told the waitress what is in a Honduran breakfast, and the chef cooked my special order TO PERFECTION! I was so pleased that they were not afraid to get creative. The bill was very reasonable, so reasonable that my husband tipped the waitress 40%. He was just so relieved to find that we did not have to give up good Mexican food just because the local EDH taqueria had forgotten what customer service meant. read more

Solid and great service amazing food cute building can't wait to come back soon. Good food.

Service was good, kind server but the food was just not the greatest. The chicken burrito only consists of CHICKEN. So dry, no sauce no rice no beans NOTHING. Just boring. read more

When to lunch. Our first time here. Great service. Delicious food and the portions were huge. We will be back for sure.

We had just moved here and we're craving good Mexican food. Found this little gem while shopping at Bel Air. The place is really nice and quite large! Great happy hour. We sat outside. Lovely patio. Waiter was really friendly and on it! The food was great! It is now our 'go to' when friends and family come to visit. read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in Cameron Parrk. The staff from the servers bartender cooks dishwashers and of course Luis are so nice and friendly. And they make they make the best skinny jalapeños margaritas read more

Love the food, atmosphere, & personnel. Our go to place every week for an excellent meal. You can always count on Los Piños for excellent service & tasty food. read more

Only visited once, but the chips and salsa were on point, and the Los Pinos tacos with steak were delicious.

Ok, this will be our last time here. All four Of us thought our food was bland as well as the chips and salsa. Really, how can something as simple as nachos be tasteless?The service was horrible and it was only 5pm and only moderately busy. We've given this place a handful of tries and the margaritas and great service has made it bearable. The food has continually been bland and when the service is bland and you don't have a margarita, it's time to find another Mexican restaurant! read more

No. This is the weirdest, least authentic Mexican food I have ever had. Plain American style Mexican food would even be better. This is somehow neither and just plain bad, bland cooking and sad because such a nice location. read more

I took the family here for a birthday. It was our first visit. The atmosphere is great--pictures, paint, lighting--a real Mexican feel. I ordered the carne asada plate which was excellent. It was a ribeye steak. They didn't give me a steak knife. I don't know now if they forgot or if it was on purpose, but my butter knife cut the steak just fine. The chips and salsa came with bean dip and roasted salsa. I loved it. Wife and kids loved it. There are a lot of items I want to try in the future. We will be back. For my birthday I got a free dessert--ice cream and churro sticks. We were very full and took leftovers home, but made room for dessert. read more

Chips are great served with beans and salsa. The service is very friendly and takes care of the table. The smothered chicken burrito chimichanga style is awesome. The chicken taco salad is served in a shell and was fresh and tasty. read more

I have been here with a party of 4 and a party of 12 - the service and food has been incredible every time. I called a few days ahead to make a reservation when I had a party of 12 and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. The drinks and food was served in a reasonable amount of time and everything tasted great!! Excellent customer service!! read more

Taste in Mexican food is very subjective. We didn't care for the food at Los Pinos. We prefer the Chile Relleno at La Cascada in El Dorado Hills. read more
