It was very late after football practice , didn't want to go fast food with my growing young kids I called 30 mins before closing and Maria, who explained they make everything from scratch so I just thought to give it a shot. When I went there not only was she so so kind and explained we weren't sure what to get she allowed us to try different options, went out of her way to make sure everyone liked everything. The kindness she showed to my very hyper kids was refreshing ! All day when I go out I always get looks because they are young and hard to manage at times, but she was such a beautiful soul along with Alejandro so helped us as well. Please please give them much thanks from our family and we have been made forever clients and will also consider this for catering now too! Beautiful family shop and beautiful people working ! My kids loved the food, loved maria and everyone was so kind and it was no problem my kids were loud ! Thank you so much read more

The food is amazing every time we go the food is made fresh to order, it's delicious and the service is great. The owner is there buzzing around helping customers, picking up dirty plates, wiping down tables, bringing the orders out. The staff is also great and attentive. They let us bring our dogs in and asked if we wanted a bowl of water for them. Highly recommend read more

I loved this place I went today for the first time and it did not disappoint, food and drinks were so delicious everyone was nice and the owner was very attentive and kind. I got a birria burrito and it was so good I'm not from Vacaville but I would definitely drive out here just for this place. Overall the place was great I definitely recommend! read more

The food here was really good! If i could give it more than 5 stars i would! The service was great the owner was serving our table and he was very kind! The environment overall was great as well. read more

Delicious...ordered a tacos de costra, burrito and eloites... everything was very good! Enjoyed the options for toppings.. mango salsa was a great choice read more

There was no taste. Queso birria tacos were soggy. The broth was also tasteless. The best part of the meal was the greasy tortilla chips.

Vibrant place to eat with some really good music. When we went to place our order, the first thing that popped in our minds was "this has the same concept of order as chipotle " but of course with a different twist to it. Flavorful menu you pick your main course item as a la cart, then your mixtures and then sides and drinks. You will also at the register find a few alcoholic choices. we had one little slip up during our visit. As we got our food sat down and started eating we noticed that we were not given our side order of beans so I had to go back up there with a receipt showing our purchase, but without any hesitation, one of the crewmembers provided us with a good portion of the side of beans topped with some cheese of choice. The meals were very fulfilling and had that fresh taste to it. The complete staff was friendly. Also, which made the visit all more the better. I'm sure will be visiting another one of their locations soon if not the same one to get an opportunity to try some of the other options on their menu. read more

Great food, fresh to order. Excellent service. Clean. The owner is attentive and handsome.

First time eating at Que Onda TacoBar. We always pass by it but never had the chance to try it. Prior to walking in, I remember seeing a sign that said " family owned business" or something similar to that, which made me even more excited to support their business. Went in there around 6pm and was greeted enthusiastically by the gentlemen behind the bar. We told them it was our first time so they told us to take our time deciding. We didn't feel rushed at all and ordered two tacos, two taco de tostada, a quesadilla which I wanted to switch to a birria quesadilla after looking further into the menu board. We asked if it would be an issue to make the chance, and they said no, they can make it happen. Once we got to the cashier, a man by the name of Ramon assisted us. He gave us the quesadilla free of charge because it was already made anyway. We greatly appreciated that. The service was excellent and they were so patient with everyone coming through their establishment. They were very accommodating, offering their free tortilla chips and salsa. Was able to speak to Ramon a few times to know that this business was something worth coming back to. The food was delicious and we were so full. Another perk was that we didn't have to go to the counter to pack our food. The to-go containers were easily accessible. The price of everything we ordered was reasonable as well! We will be coming back to Que Onda in the near future! read more

Came to the Vacaville outlets for some quick shopping and happen to come across this taco bar across the street from the Carter's. I have to say I'm pretty impressed by the quality of food that was served at the taco bar. They have a variety of items on the menu from Mulas, Tacos, burritos with multiple meat options. We ordered 3 mulas with Chicharrón, tinga, al pastor. 2 tacos with al pastor and carnitas 1 horchata 1 jamaica Side of guacamole The way this place makes fresh pressed tortillas and cooks them right in front of you is fantastic. It doesn't even take long either. There soft yet warm. The Mulas were great. They come with melted cheese and you have the option to add meat which we did. The tacos are decent size but honestly for four bucks they could be slightly bigger. The aplasto is flavorful, the Carnitas were crispy and the chicharrón was crispy but not dry . The favorite item of the meal was the Tinga. Our drink were delicious. My horchata was fantastic, it wasn't lacking cinnamon. I'm usually not a fan of jamica but man was it good. Overall I would totally recommend you stop by and give this place a try. read more

The servers in the front were very fast. My mom got the loaded fries which had to be cooked in the back, and that didn't take long either. Good speedy service. The food was alright. The chicharron on the fries were almost burnt and too hard to chew though. Both my parents weren't very satisfied with their food. read more

We shop & charge at the outlets every time we go up to our Tahome. So we had been meaning to stop in. Boy are we glad we did! We absolutely LOVE this place. They make fresh tortillas to accompany a wide range of delicious meats. The burrito is SO good! The staff is beyond kind, generous, and patient. We can't wait to come back. Food, service top notch! They also have an outdoor patio to have our food with our pooch. Our new go to spot! read more

Loved the experience! Very nice cultural atmosphere, the food was delicious and the presentation was on point! The tortillas are made by hand which adds more to the experience and flavor! I got the Quesabirilla tacos which was delicious, they're pretty big so two would've been the perfect amount for me but I got three, my bf got the birilla ramen. Both were delightfully delicious. Great food selection and the very fast paced which is a major plus considering how busy they were on a weekend! My only recommendation would be some customer service training for the young lady working your register. Her energy and attitude made it very clear she didn't want to be there, which may be the case, but considering it's a family owned restaurant, you've got quite a lot at stake there. You're not only representing yourself as the type of worker you are, your family and the business as a whole considering the cashier is the last person a customer interacts with. Lastly, the women's restroom. It wasn't dirty which is great, but the toilet paper wasn't in the holder, there were two random rolls just sitting on top of the toilet and no sanitary seat covers. Other than that, the experience was wonderful,l. This will easily be our go to stop next time we are in the area or passing through again. read more

Heard about this place opening after driving by the coming soon sign for weeks. We finally decided to eat here on a Friday during Lent and ordered the fish tostada and burrito. From the exterior, what caught my eye was that the front doors had some really nice door handles that I'd never seen before. However, with it opening as a new business and the "it" place to go to at the moment, there were lots of fingerprints on the handles as well as the glass surrounding it. Employees should wipe it down often to sanitize the handles. Upon entering, the place seems a bit tight. The counter seating by the order line needs to be moved or redesigned with a wall partition of some sort. We dined during the lunch hours and the line was wrapped around the counter seating area almost out to the door. If people were sitting there, it would be very awkward without a partition to have people standing in line staring at you eat. When it came to ordering, the first person was welcoming. Other employees seem hurried and stressed to put an order together and you can tell the newbie employees; those are the ones constantly being assisted by other employees. The area where all the ingredients are was messy with drips and splashes. I ordered three tostadas with refried beans, grilled fish, mild sauce, cheese, and cilantro, but had no idea they were so tiny (about 4" round)! It was very good. The fish burrito with all the fixings was enjoyed by hubby. He enjoyed it better than the chipotle's. You order, then pay and get your food. As stated in another reviewer's post here, I agree you have to keep your eye on your items at the cashier's register. Someone else's items can be pushed near yours by accident. We dined outside. I did not see an employee check to clean and/or sanitize tables/chairs the whole time we dined outside. There's a tall red trash can out there but no where to set your tray. People were setting it at the very top. This is dangerous should someone bump into it and everything fall and hit someone! All in all, the food was good. Ingredients are good quality. Items are pricey (I.e., $2.00 extra for grilled fish). IMO, paying what I did for three tiny tostadas with only four items, about a heaping tablespoon of each, excluding the mild sauce, was expensive. Hopefully when the business slows down just a bit, this will give them time to improve their operations better. read more

My third time going here. Was exited eating what I ordered from last time I came, this third time totally different. The customer service wasn't great, felt like they was lost. They even forgot my drink, the salsa had no taste. And the two times I came was great..I just wanted more of a consistency overall. Hopefully they can do that cause I wanna keep coming here.. read more

Conveniently located near the Courtyard Marriott where I was staying and the outlets, I came in for a 'snack.' The quesabirria was huge for $6.95. It was tasty and filling. They packed it with a lot of meat and the tortillas are made fresh right before you. I love that! It also came with chips and salsa. The guy behind the counter was friendly and helped me decide on what to order. He was also the cashier but someone else brought the food to my table. Water was complimentary and had fruit in the water jug. There are tables inside, a common table and outdoor seating. There was plenty of parking. I also like the mural. Review #46 of 100 in 2023. read more

Good food, great price, and phenomenal service!! They gave us exactly what we were looking for and more. And they were checking up on us to see if we ever needed anything. The manager is such a prince! Would definitely come out here again! read more

Que Onda Tacobar - 1 Taco - Tacos Near Me - Vacaville, California

If Chipotle and your generous local taqueria had a restaurant-baby, this would be it. So many different choices and combinations! GENEROUS PORTIONS. the workers are friendly too. Brownie points that they make their own tortillas by crank at the beginning of the ordering line. Went for lunch on a busy Memorial weekend Sunday, as this is conveniently across the street from the outlets. Pretty efficient, as they have only been open for about 2 months so far. Indoor casual seating and mini-umbrella outdoor tables as well. Food: Dutch Crunch Torta: Warning--MESSY SAUCY SANDWICH you might need to eat with utensils! Def not for the dainty. My bf got this with carnitas with recommended house toppings and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor bomb! I wish I would explain the flavors--all I can tell you is that all the sauces mix together and punch you in the face. But it somehow works. The Papa Loca (11.95) was a MASSIVE fries combo with your choice of meat. Waffle fries were super filling. You can choose your own meat and toppings--next time I would tweak and get more sour cream, pico, and salsa but skip out on the queso. Carnitas (tacos $3.95 ea) were flavorful! Less fatty than other places, but more seasoning which I enjoyed. I liked it more than their brisket, which was tender but a little more chewy. Overall: Would come back here over chipotle! Convenient location. Love all the choices on the menu--from tacos, tortas, fries, to birria. Friendly workers, Generous portions. You might have to come a few times to figure our "your order". The customizations can get overwhelming, so it might be nice if they had a set of "house combo toppings" for the indecisive. read more

Decor: Loved the decor. Clean and modern. Service: We were greeted when we stepped into the restaurant. Staff were super friendly. They served generous portions of toppings and sides. Food: DAlicious....Yum. Tortilla is freshly made after you place the order. We ordered various tacos (queso Birria, carne asada, fish, el pastor) and burritos. Loved the tacos. They loaded lots of toppings of our choice. Loved the grilled jalapeños, pickled onions and various salsas. I'd definitely recommend this family run restaurant. I'll be back again when I visit Vacaville. It's close to the outlet malls. read more

I removed my review because the so called owner contacted me. I started thinking something was up when it started asking me same question after every response. At the end I asked if this was a bot? The questions stopped. I waited 24hrs for an answer. No answer. So it's a bot. Now about the restaurant. Food was not that good. It was a wanna be chipotle but worse. I got the brisket burrito with sour cream and guacamole. It had no taste. Hell Taco Bell was better and that's pretty sad. You know I was gunna give them a second chance. But after the bot thing heck no! You know they claim they care. Well if they did they wouldn't use a bot to claim they care when they don't. The bot claimed they care but they don't if they have a crappy bot responding to you acting like the owner. So for that and the food I will never come back. Just stay away from this place. Food isn't that good and the owners lie to you with a bot. ***update*** When I asked why they used a bot to respond to their messages it gets removed. Hummmmm. Just confirms they are bottling. Another reason to not come back. read more

Wow! What an amazing find! We had the quesobirria tacos, an array of tacos; carne asada, fish shrimp, al pastor and the chicken tinga, along with horchata and churros. I especially loved how they made their corn tortillas on the spot and how there was so much toppings to choose to from! The grilled onions are always a hit for me and happy to see it as an option. Everything we had was tasty! Quesobirria tacos were extra cheesy and had an awesome cheese pull. Staff, especially Russo, was friendly and very helpful. The entire place was clean and organized (including the bathrooms!). Prices were reasonable too. They also have an outdoor space. Perfect for large families! read more

We placed an online order, however, it was never received on the restaurants end. When I arrived to pick up my food, the staff told me that they didn't receive an order with my name. The staff acted in a polite, professional, and timely manner and made my food in five minutes. Overall, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was great! read more

Excellent authentic tacos made fresh. Soup was very flavorful. Will do a side trip from the interstate for this one! Also all those ppl comparing it to Chipotle. please. This place is the authentic burrito-style place that Chipotle is knocking off. "Fast casual" is just a scaled name. Go to the Mission in SF and there dozens of them that have been there for decades. read more

It might not be obvious from the street for how good the food is. It is in the location that was formerly Freebirds. We have been here several times and our family consensus is that it is one of our favorites. It is a kind of place where you order your food and go through the assembly like to add all the things you want on your taco, mulita, etc. We really love the food. It has the vibe of being fast food, but it is so much better than that. We would like to come back and bring my mom and friends. We think this is a hidden gem, but maybe it isn't so hidden. read more
