    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

    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!

    Love this burrito truck! Their food is always delicious and service is great. Never once had a complaint about this food truck.

    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.

I recommended this place to everyone because the food and service were genuinely amazing. The staff used to be friendly, welcoming, and consistent, which was a huge reason we kept coming back. Unfortunately, over time, we've had several disappointing visits. The food portions have noticeably decreased, and the meals no longer seem to have the same amount of sauce, flavor, or care put into them like they did in the beginning. On top of that, the atmosphere feels completely different now. Lately, it seems like employees are talking amongst themselves while staring at customers, and we've received dirty looks on multiple occasions. It creates an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment, which is disappointing considering how positive the experience used to be. A few times after eating here, I felt nauseous, but I brushed it off and assumed it was just the combination of the hot sauce and sour cream. However, I order the exact same items from the Lodi truck and never experience that issue there. Our most recent visit finally pushed me to leave a review. We ordered our usual the Tequileros Super Burrito and the tortilla seemed undercooked, like it barely touched the grill. The burrito itself was cold from the sauce and cheese, the cheese wasn't melted at all, and the rice had little to no flavor. It made me sick and I could not take another bite. Waste of money. ): I normally don't like posting negative reviews, especially for a restaurant I used to genuinely support, but this experience was too disappointing not to mention. I'll continue supporting the Lodi location because the quality there has stayed consistent, but Galt is much closer and I truly wish this location would return to the quality and customer service it had when it first opened. I believe in this business, but the food and customer experience need to reflect the value and reputation it started with. Hope this helps!

These tamales are so good that I don't mind having them two days in a row. I've had the beef and garlic, the chicken, and today I had the pleasure of sampling the cream cheese and jalapeños. I think these folks have it down as far as choosing appropriate events (tamales and beer? Yes! Tamales and wine? You bet!) and at keeping their food fresh during transport. Mmmmm. I am a huge fan. The owner is a really nice guy and so are the folks that work these events. Looking forward to running into Toro while out and about! I get attached to things, and become stubborn like bull. It's perfect, really. Also a Taurus. That might be part of it....
