    Something has changed with this restaurant not sure if it's the quality or the cook. Seems like the price went up, but the quality went down. Ordered a Carnitas super burrito. All of the meat was burnt and it was overloaded with onions. Also, the chips look like they're from a bag and not great quality.

    Seating and bar area

    My husband and I moved from the Bay Area and it's hard to find good taco places out in Elk Grove. On our drive we found the taco truck for Tacos El Ahijado on Twin Cities Rd years ago. Their tacos are some of the best. Taco truck would close at 5 but often times they have taken our order even if we arrive right at or after 5. Customer service has always been excellent no matter who is working. Now I find out that the restaurant has opened right in the same location as the truck parks. We checked it out and the place is small but clean and it works. Plenty of seating. Sign said it fits 42? Seating at the bar too. Tables with chairs and booths. Nice music, not too loud. They have a self serve salsa bar and we were given free chips. Food is as good in the restaurant as it is in the taco truck. Asada tacos are $3 each and I also got an horchata for $3. Tacos are authentic street tacos and come with onions, cilantro, and salsa. Garnish on the side of radish and lime. Restaurant is open every day 8 am to 9 pm and they take cards too. Taco truck is open till 5 pm and they close on Sundays. They take cash only. And I don't remember them offering chips. Either way highly recommend both. Have yet to have a bad experience or long wait. Forgot to take pictures of tacos because I was hungry and I devoured them.

    I have been coming here for years. I love the Carne Asada tacos. The flavors of the meat is the bomb. I have tried other stuff but love coming back for the beef.

    Carnitas taco & asada taco
    Gillian A.

    Got an asada taco and a carnitas taco. The asada didn't have much flavor to it and was a little tough. There was some sweet salsa on top that was a bit overpowering over the bland asada. The carnitas, though, was tasty, had a slight crisp to it, and complemented well with the same salsa. Not a must-go taco truck, but if you're in the area and need a taco kick getting some carnitas tacos here ain't a bad choice at all.

    Stopped by today at 9am to think they weren't going to be open but they were all ready to go! Food came out within 10 minutes fresh! This place is the closest you are going to get to some authentic Mexican food within a 15 mile radius. Wish they had some more options but I can't complain for a truck that is so convenient and authentic.

    Carne Asada tacos are the best I've ever had. Amazing tasty spiced to perfection!

    Amazing tacos! Every time Im back from Reno I take the 99 just so I can have the best authentic Mexican taco truck food I've ever had.

    WOW. WOW. WOW. I ran across this truck the first week I was in town-and went back three times during that week. This truck is a PLEASURE to have in Galt. First off there are a lot of places claiming they sell "tacos" but THIS truck sells delicious tacos. I have tried all of he tacos and each one is good in its amazing way. Their tacos are legit tacos (two tortillas loaded with fillings so much that the fillings spill over into the decadent second tortilla ultimately making one taco TWO tacos!). Oh I could go on and on. Decent prices and great service.

    Super (Amazing) Burrito

    This was the first time we tried this restaurant, but it definitely won't be the last. Five stars…read moreisn't enough for this place. First, I'll say the asada and chicken tacos are very good. The meat is very well seasoned and fresh and there's a decent amount of it. I would definitely go back for those alone. But that's not the only reason this restauant deserves more than five stars... On Friday night, August 7th, my daughter had several friends over for a birthday sleepover. At 9 o'clock at night, they decided they had to have tacos. So, I quickly ordered a huge amount of different items from this restaurant through DoorDash. The food was delivered at 9:45. As soon as I opened the front door, I knew something was wrong because there was one little bag on the doorstep. Before I even opened it, I attempted to wave down the Dasher who was backing out of our driveway. He did not stop. So, I called him on the phone to tell him the order he delivered was a kids quesadilla and two tacos for someone named "Amanda." Not us. He actually laughed on the phone and very sarcastically said, "gee, that's weird. I wonder how that happened." he told me I would have to call DoorDash and he hung up! DoorDash has an option to chat. And so I got on chat and asked them to quickly re-order as the restaurant closes at 10 o'clock, and re-deliver. They said that was not an option and they offered me half of my money back. Half! I later got every penny of it back, there was no way I was tipping that driver, but I digress... I quickly called the restaurant and told them of the issue. By now it was just about 10 o'clock. The woman on the phone looked up my order and I drove to the restaurant, getting there maybe around 10:05. The dining area was spotless, the kitchen was completely clean, and there was one person, mopping the floors. These four employees, however, opened the kitchen and re-made my order for me, even though they did not have to. Now, there were certain things they could not make like the nachos or the Beria tacos because they had already closed down the fryer, but I completely understood that and they substituted with more regular tacos. These four employees went above and beyond what most other places would have done because this was not their issue, it was a mistake by DoorDash. I was out of there by about 10:15. We will definitely return to this location. It's obvious they care about their customers and their food is also very good.

It's right off the freeway so it's very convenient and the prices are super reasonable. I think we paid $12 or $13 a burrito and I had to put a ruler next to it because it was so big. Check out the photo; It's like a full 8 in and totally packed. I got some crispy tacos as well which I love and a lot of places don't offer the option of crispy so I really appreciate that. My favorite from this brand though is always the rolled tacos. They are super crispy and have lots of toppings. I will say that the food can be a little bland and definitely needs salt and maybe a little seasoning. If you love Mexican food but you can't really handle the spice, this is a great spot for you to try. The rolled tacos with guacamole will definitely be my go-to in the future and we will be stopping here more often for sure.

The taco (ground beef) and everything else was good too!!! Most people were coming in ordering to go. There was only one other customer dining in! I didn't really see too many drive-through orders and saw only one delivery driver. I am sure they probably have a very busy day from opening until after lunch. They are right on the side of the freeway (frontage Road). Very, very clean!! It looked like they had a play area but either are remodeling or taking it out. My dinner was: $14.00+. Not bad at all!!!!
