I would be hitting Placerville around 7:30pm on a weekday and options were limited. This place had decent Yelp reviews, so I gave it a try... and it was a fantastic end to a really terrific day. Things to note: -This is probably the only restaurant I've been to post-covid that didn't ask me for a tip when I put my credit card in. I didn't have much cash with me, but dropped a few bills in the tip jar. Next time I come back, I will be sure to leave more! -It was at the end of the day, but service was prompt. -This is also one of the few taqerias I've been too lately lately that still has a free chip and salsa bar. I was really hungry and appreciated freshly made chips! -The first bite ofmy chili relleno burrito pure joy! It was loaded with guacamole with just the right amount of jalapeño and cilantro. There was zero skimping in this thing! I kept expecting to get to a place in the burrito where there would be no guacamole, and that never happened. I should've only eaten half the burrito, but I devoured the entire thing. This is definitely a place I will return to next time I'm passing through Placerville!

The Horchata tasted like water with a little cinnamon in it and they charge five dollars or six that burritos are but for $23 with no flavor was just absolutely ridiculous. I don't even know how they even close to a decent rating. Probably one of the worst talker is in Placerville for sure and definitely one of the worst I've eaten in this state

My husband had two chicken tacos and I had an al pastor and a carnitas taco. The steak was cut tiny and was so tender. Big hunks of flavorful carnitas. The chicken was cut tiny and flavorful. The tacos are very juicy and topped with a medium salsa that has the perfect amount of heat. The tortillas are very lightly fried with crispy edges. They were so yummy!We really enjoyed the tacos and were so happy. My husband loved that they had the small bottles of Mexican Coke, as well as large ones. The place is a little hard to find. Western Plaza is up a little hill off the main road on Winter Place. Winter Place looks like a driveway. You drive up this steep little hill to Santa Maria Taqueria. It's worth looking for!

Great ambiance with libre masks on the walls and a very welcoming gentleman inviting us to sit down. Ordered margaritas while perusing the menu. Margs were VERY good! I noticed things on the menu I was unfamiliar with. Pack said it's cuisine from Mexico City. I ordered the Campechano (asada & chorizo) burrito and my date ordered a carnitas quesadilla. Burrito was HUGE! And extremely flavorful. Pack was quite attentive but casual and comfortable. What a gem! I will definitely be back to try other offerings from the vast menu. And another margarita of course!

It really feels like a delicious home cooked meal.

My wife go nachos which were good maybe even great, however compared to the other dishes it was ok. Least favorite dish was the taquito. It was fine but as a wasn't anything special.

Yay! Our new favorite lunch place on Main Street!…read more We just stopped by last weekend, we've been wanting to try this place out but it just hadn't happened.... Last Monday we decided to have lunch there, one of our regular places is closed Mondays and this place was open so we checked it out...and we're SO SO glad we did! Atmosphere was nice and server was very friendly from the moment we walked in. First thing I noticed; $5 mimosas!! I asked if they did anything other than orange juice and yes, they had several other options so I had the cranberry version. Delicious! I went with their mac and cheese, my partner got the basic hamburger. Mac and Cheese -- definitely very bacon forward, much more than I prefer. That being said, I still liked it, it also had sour cream and green onion on top. Bacon lovers will LOOOVE this version, there is LOTS of it and every bite you can taste it. Normally I prefer my mac & cheese with no bacon or just a bit here and there, I prefer to taste more of the cheeses.....again, it still tasted good, its a good serving and I ate half and had enough to save for the next day at work. Creamy and well made, again I just prefer to taste more cheese than bacon. I wouldn't order this again but like I said, a bacon lover will LOVE this version. Now, my partner's burger was Incredible. We are PICKY with our burgers, and we both thought this one was fantastic. Big, and great ratio to the bun. He ordered it medium and asked for "a little char" and they made it perfectly. I took a bite and yeah, I'd order that for sure. The fries were great, too. Overall we were super happy with our lunch, I thought it was priced fairly as well. We will definitely be back!!

I'll give 2* because the food (when it came) was great…read more We've been to Franny's a couple times before and had O.K. service and good food. The pitfalls of the restaurant seem to be entirely the service. Most recently we went to Franny's on Mother's Day. We had reservations and walked in, on time. We were initially sat in a nice booth in the front of the restaurant. It was my wife and I plus our 2 kids, the table size seemed appropriate. After being sat, we sat without talking to a server for 10+ minutes, not even getting waters. Eventually, when someone did come, it was a waitress/hostess telling us that there had been a mix up, and we needed to move. We weren't excited on the idea, as we were happy where we were, but we moved to the back of the restaurant. This time we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any wait staff. At this point it is 9:25 and we've been seated for 25 minutes without even water. Finally a waitress comes, and takes our drink order, and our food order as we'd definitely had ample time to look over the menu. About 9:50 the food arrives. My wife and kids' food comes and is great. My food comes and looks off, and the waitress tells me that the kitchen accidentally made me a "veggie" scramble instead of the chorizo that I had ordered, but that she'd get me some bacon and all was well. I asked what was in the veggie scramble and was told it has mushrooms, which is a hard pass for me. She told me she could have what I had actually ordered made but it would "take a long time". I said O.K. - what else was I going to do? Finally it comes, and my wife is done eating, and the kids are close, so, I asked for it to be "boxed up". The waitress rolled her eyes and set to the task. I'm not a restaurant snob - but I really expected an apology or something to be "comp'd" due to the rough experience, but nope, full bill and no apology. Regrettably, despite Franny's being a local joint and having good food, we won't be back.

Went through the drive-thru to order a taco salad with grilled chicken. Super fast service,…read moreperhaps because I was the only car there at that 7pm on Tuesday. I asked for some green salsa and they included it with 4 small containers on the side. I don't think they give you salsa unless you ask for it. Overall, it was very good. The lettuce tasted like it was a bit old, perhaps from those prepackaged shredded iceberg lettuce. All the other ingredients tasted fresh including the taco shell. The grilled chicken pieces were moist and not dried out as other places I've been to. I would recommend the taco salad with your choice of proteins as it was very satisfying. Just make sure you ask for salsa (red or green) on the side as there is none on the taco salad itself.

Staff is unknowledgeable and useless. I asked if the grilled chicken tacos were gluten free, nobody…read moreknew. So I said I'll just try one, I get up to the window where the girl tells me to scan the code to check for allergens, I checked it right away and low and behold their grilled chicken has gluten, I asked if they could swap the meat, offered to pay any difference, and they said, no sorry they already made it, and handed me something I can't eat. Let me just add that today was the first day of homeschool, after school went to work until 5, hadn't eaten a single thing all day and I'm starving, and now for the rest of my ride home I get to smell this delicious food that would make me physically ill if I ate it. I cried the whole way home, partly because I was hangry, partly because I couldn't believe how little they cared!!! It's not like the money comes out of their pocket, and a manager would've said yes, so this is just some lazy little stupid nobody! I'll never go back because of it

I wish they would bring back their rolled taco special. Another favorite is their chile relleno. If you're on the go you can get a chile relleno burrito! They keep the restaurant clean. I notice them also keeping their salsa bar very clean after each use. The staff is friendly and very efficient. They have a wide variety of different salsas, even some I've never had before. When you dine inside you can serve yourself warm tortilla chips. Overall this place is our go-to when it comes to Mexican food here in Placerville. I recommend you give it a try.
