    This spot is a hidden gem! Authentic Mexican food and meat market. They have fresh homemade tortillas, the good Mexican queso, and they fry fresh chicharones Wednesdays and Saturdays!

    Cute little shop where you can get some authentic Mexican food. My husband and I loved the burrito and street tacos. Their meat is full of flavor! They're reasonably priced. The only item I didn't not care for was the Popusa. The popusa was dry and barely any filling, it had no flavor. I felt like I was just eating the base and nothing else. I've had better popusa. This place definitely seems to be best at tacos and burritos.

    Stopped by today to get some tamales and they are delicious. I purchased four different types and they are all perfectly flavorful, They are triple wrapped to keep them very moist and juicy. The Arrachera marinada and el queso fresco both explode with great flavors, I highly recommend Santa Maria Taqueria.

    Meat quesadillas with tacos.

    My gf and I love this place! They make the food in a timely fashioned. The service is good too. The burritos and quesadillas are a must try for anyone looking at this place.

One short review was five stars; the other two were just one... OUR EXPERIENCE WAS FIVE STARS... Gary Archer called to let us know the lamb carcass had arrived and to inquire how we wanted it cut... We went over how my wife and I have come to enjoy each and every part of the lamb... Gary told us how long it would take and how much it would cost... Both VERY acceptable numbers... Gary called on the date promised to let us know the lamb was ready... We picked it up the next day... To say the cutting, sealing and freezing jobs were excellent would be an understatement... We could not have been more pleased... Even the drying and vacuum sealing was done so well that there was no liquid "sweat" when the packages were thawed to eat... We could not be happier... Gary Archer and Archer's Custom Meat Cutting will see us two or three times a year from now on...

They even allow dogs, so bring along the fur babies as well. The ranch is open every Saturday and Sunday from May to December. Parking and admission is free. They serve local beers, wine, hard cider, nonalcoholic flavored lemonades, and their famous apple cider milkshake. There is a food grill selling hot dogs and burgers. There's even a petting zoo. $8 to pet baby calves, small ponies, and the such. $4 additional for a feed cup. There is a large grassy lawn to throw down a towel or bring your own chairs, relax. Plus I gotta mention that they have no plumbed restrooms, they have porta toilets and portable handwashing stations. Not a deal breaker for me. Just letting y'all know. Every weekend, they have live music. We went on a night that Nikki Perez was singing. Happy happenstance. Man, she's a talent!! Look her up on IG. Around the stage there are Adirondack chairs and picnic tables. Saturday 10am-7pm Sunday 10am-5pm Later in the year, they'll open the u pick apple orchard in late August; then the pumpkin patch in late September; and then the tree farm in late November. Those seasonal events have additional children's activities. So much fun!Check out their IG and social media for the current happenings.

    September 20, 2025 - Placerville, CA…read more We came for the handblown glass pumpkin patch and the day's festivities, which were advertised to include free popcorn and live glassblowing demonstrations. Wanting to beat the crowds, we arrived a little before 10 a.m. and found parking quickly after discovering an additional parking lot. I've started a tradition of picking up one glass pumpkin each year, but this time I left with two--thanks to my husband's suggestion. The selection of pumpkins was beautiful, as always. We didn't see the popcorn or the glassblowing demos, though in fairness we may have been too early. Instead, we tried the Pineapple Ginger Hard Cider, which was delicious. Since we didn't want a full pour, we asked about a smaller size. The server showed us a half-glass, which was perfect, but we later realized we'd been charged for a full drink anyway. By the time we left around 10:30, cars were lined up down the road waiting to get into the lot. Parking definitely seemed limited for such a popular event. Judging from the lines outside other Apple Hill venues as well, my advice is to avoid weekends if you can--or at least plan to arrive early.
