I was driving through the lovely tiny foothills town of Penn Valley when I eyed this gorgeous,…read moresleek, shiny, and modern food truck with a queue of folks in front of it. Why not... so I stopped to check out the situation. I'm always game for street tacos. Cesar's Quick Lunch is the name of the biz. It was parked on Penn Valley Road in the True Value hardware parking lot. Next to the truck are a couple of picnic tables with sun umbrellas. The tables are painted a super cute lime green. Street tacos $1.75. Meat choices: Asada, carnitas, al pastor, Chile verde, and pollo. Burritos $7. Nachos $7. Tortas $7. Bottled Mexican Cokes and Jarritos. Ya! Soda made from real cane sugar and not that HFCS madness. I ordered an asada and a pastor street taco each. The plate came with sliced limes and slices of jalapeños. Mmmm... both tacos were good! But the al pastor was a big hit with me. It was so darn flavorful. It was a bit messier to eat because of that awesome marinade. I'm not complaining tho. Delicious! They also cater. Check them out on Instagram and Facebook. Plus they take cash and plastic: Visa, MC, AMEX, and Discover. #CesarsQuickLunchTacoTruckInPennValley

Cesar is charming and passionate about his food and I will be back again to try the pastor torta, which was highly recommended also.

I have been wanting to try this place. Stopped by here for dinner on Thursday evening. The place…read moregives a vibe of an old arcade room. Server was attentive and promptly took our order. The complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip arrived quickly. The salsa was weirdly sweet and not enough flavor, chips were stale and chewy and beans were bland. I ordered bistec ranchero. The food arrived quickly. The steak was like a soup, no vegetables in sight. The sauce was flavorful but, it was not what was written in the menu. Overall food was very mediocre. I may give it another try but for now, it was not meal to talk about.

Since their move down to Alta Sierra, the magic has only grown. The new owners, Barbara M. and David M., have elevated everything while keeping the heart of the place intact. And the staff? They feel like family. Amy and Dakota are truly the best--warm, attentive, and always smiling. The food is authentically and consistently delicious. Their chile rellenos (baked, not fried!) are perfection, and the fish tacos are flat-out unbelievable. Whenever my family comes up from Silicon Valley, Casa Las Katarinas is always our first stop. From my veggie wife, to our vegan daughters, to our meat-loving sons-in-laws --everyone finds something they love. Absolutely a must-go. One of those rare places that just keeps getting better.

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.

*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 :)

I've been eating here off and on for *years*. The quality of the food has been very up and down…read morethroughout those years. These last few years the carnitas burritos are really good. It's expensive though. Today I ordered two pounds of carnitas to go and let me tell you, it was expensive! $17/lb. It felt light when he handed it to me. When I got home I doubled checked to make sure I wasn't crazy: only 1lb 5 oz and that was WITH the big plastic container and bag. I was pissed. So I drive all the way back and explain what happened. He really didn't seem to care. And instead of doing the right thing by apologizing and giving me a healthy amount of carnitas to make up for it, he tried to explain they don't actually have a scale, they use the smaller to-go containers and think that's about a pound. Did I mention it's $17 per POUND? So he gives me a little more carnitas (*maybe* maybe not) but he's put it in two smaller heavier to-go containers. I left angry because it still felt light and I was really unhappy with the horrible customer service. When I got home it was still only 1lb 10 oz, so 1 5/8 of a pound WITH the heavier packaging. This is no way to run a business. You don't care if I'm only getting half of what I paid for? I don't care to visit your business anymore and I'm telling everyone I know about this. Next time I drive a few more minutes and go to El Charro.
