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!

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

Out of Galt California comes a delicious brand new catering business specializing in tantalizing…read moretamales of all kinds. I've found them at a local brewery, today a winery having a Christmas party, and tomorrow we get to see them again at a Yelp Elite Event at Laughs Unlimited! 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....

Granted, there are other options besides vegan and vegetarian items, so no one will leave disappointed-- or hungry! Great tamales, quick service, reasonable prices and a wonderful attitude to go along with it. We'll keep an eye out for when and where he pops up next.
