The delicious chorizo. Don't miss trying these.

Tom B.

I'm not a huge taco fan primarily in that they tend to be super messy... thus the wonderful name of this taco truck. The website gives the days and locations you can find if, usually in the Loomis area. With that, I will say that these tacos are well prepared and super delicious. I had one with carnitas and another with carne asada. Both were equally good. They use soft tortillas, doubled up, which will help keep it all together. There are finely chopped toppings, which add to the flavor and texture. The mixture is perfect, although at the finish point, it does get a bit sloppy and messy! The only downside is I found the two tacos to be very greasy. It came with chips, nicely toasted, and both a green and red salsa sauce, very savory and just right in consistency and heat for my taste. I also got two chorizo. They were slightly warmed with a filling that were spot on delicious. They have to be the best I've ever had with a wonderful dusting of cinnamon. This is a definite winner in taco food trucks, and I highly recommend trying them out.

"Delicious tacos, great service, and perfect for parties! Highly recommend this truck!"

This is their chicken mango burrito with house made chips

Love this Food Truck! Their pork belly taco and chicken mango burritos are absolutely the best. So much flavor and just keeps you craving more. I love their own chip seasoning they do as well. Highly recommend trying them if you see their pop up schedule or for a private event. You won't be disappointed! The taco truck is cute as well with big & bright colors . Giving a cute fusion Hawaiian vibe and the staff are very friendly.

Food Truck. We tried out Messy's Tacos food truck. I believe it was parked at a brewery in Granite Bay. Food was really good. You get 3 large tacos and you can get different types of tacos. Korean Beef is the bomb. Also don't forget to try their Corn Bites. Tasty. The trick is finding them. Check their social media sites for calendars.

Covered portion of the outdoor eating area. Cozy and decorated nicely!

Messy's is what every small independent eatery should be! First, it's a small little eatery (the old fashioned walk up to the sliding window to order your food) that reminds me of the of the Old hamburger stands back in the 70's when I was a kid. I love that! The menu has a few appetizer items, tacos, burritos, and a few desserts. Their menu is pretty straight forward...a list of meats (or veggie) and a price next to it depending on whether you want a taco, bowl, or burrito. They also have a few different "special" tacos like their Korean beef and award winning pork belly tacos. I ordered the Korean taco and the carne asada tacos, chips and cheese sauce. OMG!!! The Korean taco is extremely flavorful! The first bite is a punch of flavor and the juicy, Korean marinated beef , with the subtle sesame oil that's in the marinade on the purple cabbage, compliments each so well!! Most places use way too much sesame oil which can be very overpowering, but these guys got it right. The carne Asada taco was totally amazing as well and I loved the flavors going on in The marinade, too! Both tacos were loaded with juicy, moist, Uber tender steak. The best carne asada and Korean tacos I've had in my life! The chips were warm, thin (to me the best way), and I'm pretty sure they just fried them up as soon as I ordered! The cheese sauce is bomb, too! I love the patio...very comfortable, adorably decorated, and they have misters running for the hot season, and ceiling fans under the big covered patio area. Even in the coldest months, I can't imagine not eating there under the patio, since there is no indoor seating and I'm guessing they have outdoor heaters for keeping you comfortable. I may note that There is also no indoor restroom, but there is a outdoor restroom (ports potty?) and hand washing station, so if you don't like using those, I'd suggest going to the restroom at home before coming here. The food and service are so amazing that that would never keep me from coming back!

Cheeseburger Taco, Korean Taco, Rice & Beans

Tiffany D.

Messy's Taco has been on my radar for about a month now and I finally came here on New Year's Eve. They are a really small place, almost like a little shack but it's cute. It totally seems like the type of restaurant that the whole city knows about and loves and is a must for visitors to try. Also the reviews are really good so worth a try. After taking a small gander over the menu and trying to remember what some of the items looked like according to Yelp I ordered the Cheeseburger Taco, Korean Taco and made it a meal with rice, beans and a soda. While waiting I kinda just checked out their outdoor seating which is a little covered and each table has a set of heaters (it was so cold outside) and then I was admiring the view of the trees. I definitely would have eaten outside if it was a tad bit warmer. The wait for the food wasn't bad and I think the tacos are made/cooked to order. The takeout presentation was wonderful, the food was placed neatly in the plastic container. And to my surprise the meal came with chips, I was kicking myself for not ordering a side of guacamole to go with it. The Cheeseburger Taco came wrapped in a flour tortilla with seasoned ground beef, queso, onions, lettuce and topped with fries. This taco was really good and very flavorful, I loved the crispy fries on top and those were seasoned perfectly as well. It's one of the best and most flavorful ground beef tacos that I've had. The Korean Taco came wrapped in a corn tortilla with Korean beef, red cabbage slaw, sriracha aioli and sesame seeds. This was definitely my favorite of the two tacos. The Korean beef was marinated great, cooked perfectly and was tender. I loved the addition of the red cabbage slaw because it really added to the flavor and helped cool down the spiciness of that sriracha aioli. Tons of flavor all the way around but next time I may ask them to go easy on the aioli because it was really spicy or maybe I'm just a baby when it comes to spicy food lol. The rice and beans were really good and fresh, the rice was quite flavorful and moist. The chips were were yummy too, they were super crispy and had a nice seasoning on them. Overall this place was really good and I can't wait to go back to try more of their items and I'm hoping my next visit they'll have those cheesy churros that I've seen tons of people rave about. I highly recommend trying this place if you live close by or are visiting the area.

I was at a brewery and this was the food truck that was there. There were three options on the menu- chicken, pork belly, and carne asada. Well two, because they ran out of the carne asada. I got one of each of the chicken and pork belly. The chicken was average to me, but I enjoyed the pork belly. The sauce on top of the pork belly went well with the meat. The chips that came with the tacos were thin, and I prefer thicker ones. I wanted to order another pork belly taco, but they ran out of that too afterwards. The tacos are a bit expensive at $6 per taco, hence the three stars.

Carne asada burrito w dragons breath salsa. Muy caliente

Rich H.

Worth a stop. Had a carne Asada breakfast burrito w dragons breath hot sauce. Not traditional carne asada but considering where they are it wasn't bad. The hot sauce was very hot. Don't recommend for the faint of heart. But I love hot stuff Liked to try some other items to truly given thorough opinion but this review is based on the one item only Staff was very nice. Food was prepared promptly and brought out to their enclosed eating area. They sell beer too

Sweet Potato/Black Bean--added bacon & egg. WHOA!

Kim H.

I'm addicted to their burritos. They are SO BIG, it works out as two meals. Today, my people hooked me UP with the sweet potato & black bean veggie burrito. Sounded SO GOOD, I added bacon (I know, but COME ON!) OUTSTANDING! With the smoky salsa??!! I'll be energized ALL DAY! Yum!

William C.

Yum!! So this is a little place that serves some really excellent and high quality food! While it might look like a place you would choose to drive by, that would be a mistake. In fact, it was so good I ate my Asada burrito before getting a photo!!! So relative to food, service, and value here are my impressions. The food was outstanding. My wife had a Korean taco and a carnitas taco. They were delicious and both had unique flavors. Both were really large and had an abundance of yummy fillings. These are not your regular tacos, they are large and well executed! I had an asada burrito and it was outstanding. There was a healthy amount of asada and the smoky salsa was excellent!! The service was quite nice! Everyone smiled and the food came out quickly and hot. Plus, they were more than happy to recommend items and kept it real. They did a great job! Finally value. At first I thought, $4 for a taco is kinda expensive....until the taco came. 2 tacos was a lot of food, and my burrito was huge. In the end, the cost was just shy of $20 and we were stuffed! I will be back and you should go as well! It's a great change and nice find!

Maria K.

I decided to try this place because I was looking for a place that serves food fast but not a fast food chain plus this place had very good ratings on Yelp. I decided on the crunchy shelled tacos. I ordered one carnitas taco and one chicken taco. The taco shells were seasoned with a Mexican seasoning. It came with chips also with the same seasoning. I'm not a fan of this seasoning but I don't hate it either. There is ample shaded seating in the side and in the back. If I come again I think I'll try something different.

Ground beef taco and sorry I couldn't wait on the other one which was chicken. Both very good!!

We've been here twice and left happy both times. Their carnitas are amazing. Highly suggest the Pot Belly Taco, Korean Beef Taco and Sweet and Spicy Mandarin Carnitas Taco. Smothered Carnitas Burrito also very good. Get food to go after you've eaten. You'll be craving it later! read more

Finally tried this place after my daughter who lives in rocklin recommended it. I ordered 2 chicken tacos and a chicken burrito (to go). Got the smokey, green and the medium salsa-ALL delicious! The tacos were so flavorful and everything worked together in the soft and wonderful corn tortillas! The tortilla chips were bomb as well. So glad I tried this place and will be back very soon. About the only thing I would say negatively is yes, the prices are a bit high. I will try the asada and carnitas next time I am in Rocklin. read more

I don't know how this place received any high reviews. I stopped by today for lunch at 1:30 pm and there were only another 3 parties there. Ordered the food and was advised they were out of tortilla chips, therefore, couldn't order the nachos. We ordered tacos and a quesadilla instead. First, the food was expensive. Similar pricing to a sit down restaurant than a converted burger stand. Not worth the money. Then, the wait. We waited 30 minutes for our food to arrive at our table. Painfully slow food delivery. We ate our food which was OK, but nothing great. As we were leaving, we saw two tables of people who arrived and ordered after we did receive their nachos. What the hell? They said they were out of chips, therefore, no nachos when we ordered just minutes before these people. I gave them two stars because I haven't gotten sick (yet) from the food. With these high prices, slow service and mediocre food, I won't be back. read more

I ordered the pork belly tacos, chicken nachos, and a milkshake here at Messy's. The tacos were honestly some of the best I've ever eaten. They were amazingly delicious. The chicken nachos were also great -- not as good as the pork belly tacos, but still great! The outer appearance is a little rough, but the food is higher quality than most outwardly polished restaurants out there. I would highly recommend this place. Great food, great service.

I stopped here because it is in my town and I needed to try it out. After I drove by it the first time, I stopped in to eat a couple of messy tacos. I ordered a carne asada taco and a carnitas taco. One on flour tortillas and the other on their recommended flavored, crispy taco shell like their tortillas chips were. When my order came, both on hard seasoned shellsn, it all looked good, but I could not tell what was what. When I tasted the individual tacos I still couldn't taste any difference between the pork or the beef taco meat. They were both skinny, salty, (shells) and not even very tasty. I believe a lot of that was to the heavily seasoned hard taco shells and chips that tasted alike, and maybe the cooking quality of each filling. I know I'll definitely go back there and eat a meal that is not obscured by the seasoned taco shells and order only the plain flour or corn tortillas, beans rice and salsa so I can properly rate the food again. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Do you member the little Burger joint Taylor's how they had a little drive up window shop well that's now this place! There's a tiny little patio on the side of the building but other than that it's a walk up and go. But honestly to date is probably one of the best Mexican dishes I have ever had. I got the vegetarian sweet potato burrito and the kids got chicken nachos. We also tried a churro. I did personally feel like the churro was a bit overpriced for what you get but other than that everything was fabulous and the customer service was good. We will definitely be back and you have to try the nachos! Oh and my burrito I ordered spicy and boy is it spicy! Some places you order spicy and you can barely taste it but this will definitely give you a kick in your mouth :) read more

History

Established in 2017.

We are a family owned & operated business who opened in August 2017 as Messy’s Tacos & Treats restaurant in Loomis, CA. Summer of 2022, we decided to completely switch to Messy's Tacos Food Truck and focus on Private Events & Food Truck Pop-Ups. This also allowed us to be creative with our weekly menus.

Meet the Business Owner: Jamey H.

My husband and I started this concept together and wanted to create fusion specialty tacos and not be your typical taco truck. Going on 6 years I think we had the right idea and appreciate all the support from the community. Some of our most popular tacos are our Pork Belly, Korean Beef, Chicken Mango and Carne Asada. We hope you enjoy our style of cooking!

The restaurant is not very large ~ one small-ish main room and an adjacent enclosed patio. Plus a few picnic tables under a shady canopy out front. We were seated out in the enclosed patio area where it seems they've tried to do some limited decorating. Service was friendly but a little on the slow side, although our food came out fairly quickly after we ordered. I got the super burrito and it was huge. Stuffed full of all the good stuff and grilled on one side. Simple but good, although it could have had the ingredients better mixed inside. (Ever read the hilarious blog post about the burrito that was rolled like a roll of Lifesavers? Oh, here's the rice. Next up, pico. Then beans. And here's the chicken. There is guac in here!) The hubby got the cheese chile relleno with mole, beans and a pyramid of rice. All delicious. Oh, and the chips were delightfully crispy and seemed super fresh and the two salsas were pretty tasty, as well. Prices were very fair, too! Good rec by our friends. I'd definitely go back, maybe for pick-up.

A Hidden Gem Worth Finding!…read more My wife and I recently took a little lunch field trip to Penryn Grill, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! From the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel welcome. She did a fabulous job greeting us, making recommendations, and helping us navigate the menu. Our waitress was equally impressive--friendly, efficient, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout our visit. At first glance, some people might overlook Penryn Grill. It's tucked away next to a service station, and many might assume it's just another roadside dive with average food. Nothing could be further from the truth. This place serves high-quality food with outstanding service and a relaxed atmosphere. Following the hostess's recommendations, my wife and I decided to share several of the restaurant's most popular items so we could sample a little bit of everything. The shrimp tacos were absolutely fantastic and completely lived up to the hype. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, they were easily one of the highlights of our meal. Next came the fried pickles, which were our way of testing the waters. They had a crunch similar to fried zucchini but with even more flavor. Add a little ranch dressing and you're in business. Crispy, slightly spicy, and packed with flavor, they hit the palate with a bang. We also ordered the Penryn Burger, made with a delicious short-rib patty and all the fixings. It was juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Another home run. The outdoor patio provided a great setting for lunch, complete with good music and a relaxed atmosphere. It made for an enjoyable afternoon and a memorable dining experience. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and we will definitely be back. One final insider tip for my fellow retired folks: Friday afternoons between 2:00 and 4:00 seem to be a great time to stop in. We've heard the fish and chips and chowder are local favorites, and they'll be at the top of our list the next time we visit. Penryn Grill is proof that you should never judge a restaurant by its location. This hidden gem is absolutely worth the stop!

Kind of one of those meals where you eat it and forget about it on the drive home. You can tell they're trying, and I respect that, it just didn't come together for me. That said, service was great and the company was even better, so the experience itself wasn't a loss.

Casque Wines Tasting Room

We were genuinely excited to finally try Casque Wines since it's practically right around the…read morecorner from our family property on acreage nearby. We invited friends and family for an afternoon tasting, grabbed lunch from the café next door, and expected a warm local winery experience. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most disappointing tasting room visits we've had. The biggest issue was the complete lack of hospitality and awareness toward an older woman in our group recovering from knee surgery. There was no accommodation, no concern, no acknowledgment whatsoever. Instead of any table service or attentiveness, we repeatedly had to get up and walk inside the tasting room over and over for every single pour. By the end of the tasting, we got more steps in than a cattle drive. The two ladies working behind the counter looked like they were counting the minutes until closing time. No smiles. No energy. No effort to educate us about the wines, engage with guests, or make anyone feel welcome. We honestly felt more like an inconvenience than paying customers. I've seen friendlier expressions on bulls during branding season. What makes this especially frustrating is that the tasting room wasn't even busy -- there were maybe three other couples there besides our group. This wasn't staff being overwhelmed. It simply came across as lazy, disengaged, and rude service. The only thing flowing less than the hospitality was the wine pours. What surprised us most is that we've visited several other local wineries in the area over the years and have consistently experienced warm hospitality, friendliness, and genuine customer care. So this experience really stood out -- and not in a good way. Usually wine country feels welcoming. Here, we felt like a herd that wandered into the wrong pasture. Such a shame because the location and concept have so much potential, and we really wanted to support a local winery so close to home. Sadly, our guests left just as disappointed as we did. This tasting experience had less warmth than a steel feed trough in January. Mad Cow Review Rating: -- Two Bulls Down Great opportunity. Terrible hospitality. Would've had a better customer experience being licked by a pasture cow.
