Phenomenal find! Stopped in Placerville on the way to Tahoe…read more We were hungry. Paco's Taqueria was open. Great ambiance with libre masks on the walls and a very welcoming gentleman inviting us to sit down. Ordered margaritas while perusing the menu. Margs were VERY good! I noticed things on the menu I was unfamiliar with. Pack said it's cuisine from Mexico City. I ordered the Campechano (asada & chorizo) burrito and my date ordered a carnitas quesadilla. Burrito was HUGE! And extremely flavorful. Pack was quite attentive but casual and comfortable. What a gem! I will definitely be back to try other offerings from the vast menu. And another margarita of course!

First time there with a large family tonight. Food was awesome. No complaints there…read more However, the waitress tried something very dishonest when it came time to pay. Glad I paid attention. Hope this is not common practice... Once it was time for payment, we were brought over a cc machine that had the screen shown "add tip" amount with the percentages showing. We were shown no bill or breakdown. It seemed $20 more than what we should be charged. I told my husband that amount wasn't right and asked to see a receipt or break down. She then went back and rolled through it. The tip had been automatically added already! So she had tried to get me to pay another gratuity on top of the original bill and gratuity. When I told her that was very misleading she mumbled something about how that was just the way it shows. I was like "If gratuity is automatically added you need to tell people. And you dont just give them a screen to add a tip without showing them the bill - that is very misleading and is more than a double tip. It was as if she was counting on us not paying attention due to 5 little kids." Luckily, I always do math in my head. My husband almost just paid it. So if you go, make sure they show you the full receipt so you can check it before you pay. And watch out to see if they add an automatic gratuity. Never seen a restaurant not show what you are paying for... and just show you a screen asking for a tip. Looked incredibly dishonest. Would love to have a manager contact me as it felt as this has been done before. No print out of the receipt was given either. So I could see them doing this often. You have no way to check it.

I wish they would bring back their rolled taco special. Another favorite is their chile relleno. If you're on the go you can get a chile relleno burrito! They keep the restaurant clean. I notice them also keeping their salsa bar very clean after each use. The staff is friendly and very efficient. They have a wide variety of different salsas, even some I've never had before. When you dine inside you can serve yourself warm tortilla chips. Overall this place is our go-to when it comes to Mexican food here in Placerville. I recommend you give it a try.

We made a reservation for our party of 10. Glad we did because this was a poplar place and filled up quickly for lunch. I've never dined here before, not because of any particular reason. But glad I gotta finally. Good food, outstanding customer service, and relaxing welcoming vibes. Service was awesome. Our waiter was on it! He had an engaging personality and did a superb job. Got drinks out, food came out hot n quick and all about the same time, refills attended to without asking, and they even allowed us to split checks (we asked for 3). Awesome! We received complimentary chips and salsa. No complaints there. The salsa was flavorful with a nice thickness. It took me forever to choose... the options were plentiful. I ended up ordering the lamb shank. $23.The shank itself is a distinctive flavor cut of meat. If it's cooked right, it should be moist, fork tender and infused with the slices used. Well ... they did it right! Spiced and marinated giving it flavor to pair with the shank's natural distinct flavor. Mmm. The plate came with Mexican rice and refried beans with flour or corn tortillas. The rice was fluffy. The refried beans were tasty. Prepared well, no aftermath toots. The restaurant is not new but well kept and maintained. Relaxing, family friendly vibes. The interior decor was festive. Beautiful carved wooden booths. They have a separate bar area offset in its own room. The women's restrooms had beautiful colorful tiled bathroom sinks. Fun pop of color.

Western Plaza is up a little hill off the main road on Winter Place. Winter Place looks like a driveway. You drive up this steep little hill to Santa Maria Taqueria. It's worth looking for!

One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the extensive salsa bar. There are so many great options, and I love me some chips and salsa!!! The service is pretty straightforward -- you order at the register, and they bring your food out to your table. Don't expect a lot of extra attention or over-the-top friendliness, but what they may lack in customer interaction, they definitely make up for with the food. The food is always delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. The prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area, and the portions and quality make it worth coming back. I personally always go for one of their shrimp dishes, and they never disappoint. If you're looking for great Mexican food with a fantastic salsa bar, this place is definitely worth trying!

They have signature dishes of molcajetes. Impressive sight to behold of a huge molcajete (mortar bowl) filled with chicken, steak, shrimp, and veggies served in hot melted queso or hot creamy Chipotle sauce. Huge serving size. Being lactose intolerant, I have never tried it. But the sight of it always makes me pause and gawk and wonder what it tastes like. My go to's are the shredded beef and chicken crispy tacos. Simple traditional flavors. They have lunch specials offered during the week that run about $12.50. Non lunch specials- one entree combination plates run around $12.50, two entree $16.50, and three $19.50.
