Had the one opportunity to give this place a try the other night, and the reviews were spot on…read more Food was amazing for a small restaurant, and the staff I encountered were great. As per some reviews, I had to try the crispy tacos, mine were pollo asado, and a bean burrito. Let me warn you, the two tacos were plenty of food on their own! That said, both items had exceptional flavor. If I was in town longer, I'd have definitely returned to try other options.

Stopped in at El Taco Loco on Union and got exactly what I came for. Carne asada tacos were…read morefantastic, meat had a solid char, good seasoning, fresh tortillas, no skimping. Real deal taqueria food. The salsa bar is the move. Big spread of house made salsas and condiments so you can dial in your tacos exactly how you want them. Family run, fresh ingredients, friendly service, fair prices. I'll be back next time I'm in Nevada City. Don't sleep on this spot.

Fast, fresh service. We picked up the out the night before and decided to come back for breakfast!…read moreI am so glad we did. Service was polite, greeted us when we came in. You order at the counter and find a seat. The place is clean and table combination for two top to up to 6 seating. Plus there is outdoor seating. Food was delicious.

Visited June 25 2026. See my receipt …read more Yes...my fav place in Grass Valley! Huge outdoor shaded patio with misters which My puppy enjoyed! This place is classy yet casual. The employees are warm and friendly ( Grass Valley vibe ). We ordered our usual steak fajitas with all the complementary salsas. The dish also comes with rice and beans. I asked for alittle extra sear on the meat and it was perfect! The salsas..especially the habanero was spicy! They have many salsas and they are top notch! All so fresh! We had leftovers as usual and a very happy puppy in a nice shaded patio! Don't miss this place!

So my mom has eaten here for lunch with a good experience but never dinner, so we gave it a shot…read more We got there just after 6pm, a little ahead of the Saturday night crowd. From the start, things were bumpy. Our server was very pleasant but seemed flustered. Everything took more tine than it should have, from getting chips and salsa to placing our order. The Saturday crowd was pouring in and bumpy went to rocky. Our dishes took forever to finally arrive. Ok now for the food.... Mom had the California Enchilada and that was a success - very stuffed w chicken. My wife had the taquitos. She wanted one beef and one chicken but I guess they don't have that option in the ordering system so we went all beef. She ordered a side of black olives but it never arrived. We would have flagged the server on this but barely saw her. I had the Beef Chicana and that was the least successful dish. The dish ate extremely dry. It had amazing flavor but eaten as presented was not great. I tried to doctor w cheese and salsa which helped. I took mine home because i think w some moisture (beef stock?) some crema and maybe guac, it could be killer. Final notes. The salsa was very good, tasted homemade. The guac was okay. I was a little bummed no mole dishes on the menu. My wife brought home churros w caramel and she loved them. The ambience of the place was great - perfect noise control at the beginning but when it got packed, you are going to shift to yell mode. We will try it again but probably mid day lunch vs full blast Saturday night.

Good food with good portions. I recommend. I'll be back in…read moretime. This is a popular place for lunch and dinner

There are 2 El Favoritos in Grass valley. They very different in service and food. The store on…read moreSutton Way is better food, and service. The one on Mill St does not seem to make the food the same, sometimes rice or sometimes potatoes in the burrito and a different flavor. Might just be my preference. The cashier on Mill couldnt speak english very well, made it difficult in ordering, not his fault that is the managers fault. What bugs me about both location is the that you put the tip screen up no matter what (dine in or take out). There should only be a yes or no for tip nothing automatic. These workers paid to take orders, what do they beside walk 10 ft to hand you your food and Im expected to clear my own table. That does not deserve a tip. I wont be back.

Easily one of my favorite New Mexican spots in grass valley!…read more This place is so cute inside and seating is plentiful Service here is outstanding I have zero complaints We all ordered tacos and left here with the biggest smiles on our faces truly amazing food The drinks here are STRONG not a complaint just a warning I loved my watermelon margarita. This is a great spot for friends and family at any time of day we came here for dinner and will be definitely coming back soon for lunch

*review based on brief bar experience only - no food*…read more It was an interesting experience for us as we wandered in for drinks while we waited for our Thai food we ordered Nextdoor. The bar is directly at the entrance, and they seemed to have gotten busy just shortly after we arrived. We had someone take our order, then another person take our order awhile later stating it wasn't inputted. When asking the bar tender for recommendations, he was less than helpful. He seemed like he wasn't very experienced at the bar, and after observing for awhile we realized that everyone in the restaurant seemed to be wearing all hats. Seating, serving, tending bar, ect. I think they could definitely benefit from some structured responsibilities for the individuals on staff- you know what they say- jack of all trades but master of none. At the end of the day, our drinks were okay, but we watched them pour one directly out of a can. They also didn't ask if we wanted blended margaritas or on Ice, so I guess next time I should plan to specify. I would try this establishment again, and look forward to the whole dining experience, in a few months. I think they just have a few kinks to work out :)

Visited May 29 2026. See my receipt as always…read more This place is in Princeton California. I have driven by this several times using the back roads from Colusa to Chico. The reason I didn't notice it was a small restaurant is because there is no signage other than by their takeout window! I am glad I stopped in with boyfriend and puppy in tow. Although the service was super slow it was worth it. We shared the carne asada burrito that had plenty of meat and rice and beans in it. The flavors were really good and no chewey or fatty meat inside. They do have inside seating but not pet friendly ( no outside seating). We took it to go and got back on the road. The burgers and milkshakes looked amazing ! The locals told me to call in the order ahead of time to eliminate long waits. Food was authentic and I will be back next time I drive through this area! Btw..they have beer and sodas as well. Lady that waited on me was nice and apologized for the wait. Also btw this is the backroad to get to Farmer's Brewing in Princeton

If you are looking for an authentic, no-frills spot that lets the food do all the talking, El…read moreCazador is it. I stopped in recently and was reminded why these local gems are unbeatable. I joined some friends for lunch and after deep diving the menu, I ordered the Al Pastor Super Burrito and added a fresh jalapeño. It was the game changer that turned a great burrito into the perfect meal, because I LOVE spicy. Everything stood out on this meal: The Balance: It's rare to find a burrito where the meat, veggies, rice, and sauce are in such perfect proportion. Every bite was consistent. The Al Pastor: The seasoning on the pork was spot on, and the added heat from the jalapeño provided that perfect kick to cut through the richness. This was not marinated in store bought adobo. The Tortilla: Often overlooked, but the consistency here was perfect, strong enough to hold everything together without being gummy or overly thick. The interior has that classic, rustic wood-paneled vibe that makes you feel like you're in a true community staple. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch at the counter or sitting in one of the booths, the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a neighborhood spot. The owner was there crafting the perfection. He is happy to adjust to your taste. This is high-quality, honest food. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu. A Marc Tip: Definitely add that jalapeño to your burrito it adds a fresh heat that elevates the whole experience.
