    Super Burrito

    This restaurant heavily advertises fast, fresh food, and to their credit, they deliver on the baseline environment. The establishment is exceptionally clean, and the staff provides good, attentive service. The interior keeps up appearances, matching the pristine aesthetic you see plastered all over trending social media videos. Unfortunately, the culinary execution fails to live up to the online marketing, leaving a massive gap between the digital hype and the actual plate. The first red flag appears before you even order: carnitas have been completely removed from the menu. For an establishment branding itself as a quality Mexican eatery, erasing such a staple is incredibly suspicious. Every reputable Mexican restaurant serves carnitas, making this omission a baffling corporate choice that immediately sets a disappointing tone for the meal. Pivoting away from the missing carnitas, the next logical choice was the al pastor, ordered inside their advertised "Super Burrito." Regrettably, this heavyweight contender arrived completely stripped of its status. It is a super burrito that has essentially had its cape repossessed by the kitchen. The structural integrity of the burrito relies almost entirely on a massive, disproportionate filler of rice and meat. Key premium ingredients are either completely missing or distributed in minuscule, almost undetectable quantities. If you are looking for a rich layer of guacamole or a cooling dollop of sour cream to balance the bite, you will find barely a trace here. To compound the disappointment, the al pastor itself strictly ranks as C-tier. The meat lacks the vibrant, deeply marinated crisp and flavor profile required of a standout pastor, rendering the dense core of the burrito incredibly dry and monotonous. Fast and clean service cannot save a dish that lacks soul and essential ingredients. If you are chasing the flavors celebrated on your social feed, you will likely find that this spot offers nothing more than a hollow, heavily inflated internet illusion.

    Taco Exxpress has become one of my favorite late night spots. I was so happy they opened this location up so I don't have to drive to Folsom for it. Now at the end of the day they are a drive thru fast food like Adalberto's or California Burrito, so I wouldn't ever recommend them over a sit down restaurant. What makes Taco Exxpress so great though is the portions, size, quality, and hours they are open. I love stopping by here for food late at night. Now despite the name, I don't recommend the crunchy tacos and I also don't recommend the bomb fries when Kikis is next door and it's just a worse copy of their food. But everything else I've had always hits. Just look at my picture of the burrito I got. Less than 15$ after taxes for a burrito the size of my forearm. I personally always enjoy getting the Fajitas with some tortillas that they include, and making myself a plate of Fajita tacos. Great cheap place that's open late with decent quality food (For a fast food location) and it's not too far of a drive!

    Fun artifact from Carl's Jr. anove the quality hand dryer. Pls wash your hands. Also a handy coat/bag hook in ladies room. 3-4-2025

    For what it is, it's done well. Checked out the Taco Tuesday deal, $1 crunchy taco. Comes with: hard shell taco, meat, shaved iceberg lettuce, some shredded mixed cheese, and a sprinkling of fake parmesan cheese. All fresh ingredients as they state in their signs. Choose from ground beef, shredded chicken or shredded beef. Chicken was best. I'd bump it to 5 stars if they added a some diced tomatoes. And I'd pay $0.25 extra for a dollop of sour cream. And add some black olives like my beloved Taco Bravo. Yum! Mexican coke (looked like 12 oz) was $3.99. Horchata $3.25 for a 24 oz. Next time I'll ask about hot sauce as the tacos could use the additional flavor to help get the shells and fat to go down. Drive thru was hopping at 9:00 and the nice staffer said they'd just slowed down. Tables were clear and seemed clean. TV on football (aka soccer) game in Spanish. Restrooms were good - separate men's/women's (my preference) - had hand soap and good hand dryer. Cool they have a purse/coat hook up high near the hand dryer. And the sign above the dryer, cool artifact from Carl's Jr. While they're open late, until midnight, dining area closes at 10:00. Enjoy!

    My son's tacos. Brought to us absolutely horribly.

    This place to start is a little chain, I've seen these location around Sacramento, but tonight my family and I stopped in for a bite. We were both my husband and I craving tacos. But did not want to drive out to the south area to get the real stuff. Because of traffic in the rain. The ambience is just no different than walking into a Carl's Jr.'s or an Adaberturos Upon arriving this place is just another fast food Mexican joint. It's nothing fancy nothing exotic. We both ordered the quesobirria plate , came with rice and beans and a Serrano and two limes that was pretty good. It was all right a little salty but all right. They messed up on my son's taco order as you can see from the pictures. They just threw it on a paper plate with meat and cheese, and the presentation was a little sloppy, and in my opinion, kind of gross looking. The pastor taco was extremely salty. I wasn't even able to eat it. It taste more like chorizo my husband said. Truly disappointing definitely better options of Mexican food around the area. Definitely will be our first and last time. I highly suggest possibly shopping around and going further south into the south area of Sacramento for decent Mexican food. This place is definitely no Bueno.

    This location is in what used to be a Carls Jr. It is set up like a fast food restaurant, nothing fancy. A drive thru and lots of free parking. Order at a counter and wait for your number. The service was efficient and they were keeping the tables clean even with the high turnover. $1 hard taco Tuesday, it is packed for dinner. They make their own taco shells which are light then fill them with lettuce, cheese and choice of three meats. Shredded chicken, shredded beef and ground beef. This is a good taco but nothing too special. It feeds the masses and is filling. They also make their own chips, so they were light. We ordered al pastor nachos, the beans are good but the al pastor was unlike any I have had. Not to my liking and it was soupy. I would not order al pastor here again.

    my last review for this chain was a while back. We visited the location on Freeport blvd in south sacramento and never returned because it seemed very expensive for a fast food restaurant. What was interesting, we frequently the south sac location on several occasions and the prices were decent - but prices increased exponentially on our last visit and we never returned. So, we saw this location and decided to give it a try. While ordering, i asked if they were affiliated with the one in south sac- and they were. So how was the food? We ordered their #5 combo: beef taco and cheese enchilada that came with rice and beans. the flavor was consistent with the other location and the price point was interesting. the #5 combo is almost $2 cheaper than the location in south sac And we were able to dine in an a/c building and not sitting on a wooden bench outside using plastic utensils. But there is a salsa bar with chips at this location too. overall...decent.

    I went to Taco Express on a Monday afternoon. I used the drive thru which took maybe 5 mins or so. The menu has almost every type of taco and other related items you can think of including breakfast burritos. They also hv tacos for $1 on Tuesdays. I ordered the 2 beef tacos hard shell plater. The customer service was quick, friendly and excellent! I chose the option to purchase one shredded beef taco and one ground beef taco. It came with beans and rice. All the items were delicious. I hv to say the shredded beef taco was more flavorful than the ground beef. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. P.S. the hard shell is lightly crispy.

    Tried it our at their new location in Fair Oaks! I got the #1 with two chicken tacos, beans and rice. Added a soda and total was $16. I felt that was a fair price. The chicken meat was so juicy and flavorful! The crunchy taco shell was flaky, buttery and so crispy it just melted in my mouth! I love lettuce and they sure top it off with a lot! Beans and rice were flavorful and the salsa had a real kick to it! I will be back at this location, I love that it also has a drive thru.

    What ingredients do the crunchy tacos have on them for the $1 Taco Tuesday special?

    A shit ton of lettuce. A little cheese. And maybe a teaspoon of meat (if that).

The chicken, at medium, had enough kick to linger, but not enough to ruin it for me. If you like it spicier, go for it, but medium was perfect for me. The cheese sticks passed the cheese pull test. I preferred the slider....the sauce and the kale slaw was actually a good temper for the spice. If I return, I will happily be satisfied with the two slider meal. The only "meh" item were the cheese fries... unimpressive fries with a liquid cheese sauce. If I return, I may get Mac and cheese. For a fast food-ish meal, or quick service restaurant version of Nashville hot chicken, I'd say Dave's passes the test
