Authentic and flavorful [Citrus Heights CA]…read more Ended up in this eatery unplanned because the restaurant we were planning to dine in had electrical issues at the time. My son-in-law and I walked in this family-owned restaurant located in the Citrus Town Center. I am by no means an expert in Mexican food so I usually just choose a steak burrito, enchiladas or fish tacos. I ordered the latter (without onions or cilantro). Somehow it looked plain LoL! but it was still good. My son-in-law, on the other hand, knew his stuff and ordered Regular Soft Tacos -- Tripas, Cabeza, Al Pastor, and Doradita. Was he happy LoL! The chips at the Salsa Bar was fresh. The salsa choices were limited but there were plenty of options for condiments. This is a counter service arrangement so pay at the counter and they will serve your food to your table. Plenty of table and booth seating options and also outdoor patio seating is available. Fast and friendly customer service. Review #4043

The service is always fast, but this last time our experience was beyond good. After my mom told the young woman at the counter that she had had broken her leg, the sweet young woman stepped around the counter, leaned over and hugged my mom who was in her wheelchair. It was so touching. A Restaurant like this is there to serve us food, but what a blessing to go beyond and touch our hearts. Thank you for a great meal and a great experience.

I felt that burrito was not balanced- a bit dry.. although I know if has potatoes in that probably makes it drier. The next time, i wanted to give another chance with an asada super burrito. The size was decent. I could split it with two people. However, i still felt like something was missing and it was not a balanced burrito that I hope to get from a burrito place. The individual ingredients did not really stick out to me and it was an okay burrito.

Not sure how a place can go from five stars to one in such a short amount of time!! I was so…read moreexcited to have found that they are there Monday through Friday 9 to 9. Apparently I had always been looking on weekends, and was unable to find them for a long time! So first of all, they don't answer the phone. My first few visits, I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it all was with freshly crisped taco shells and fresh out of the fryer chips- I was hooked! I've told everyone about them only to be completely blindsided by ordering $30 worth or food for one person, their portions are generous I was just so excited, I needed more! BIG MISTAKE- The Pastor crispy taco seemed like it had been drying out for the last three days. Stale shells and little tiny dried chunks of dog food is what the meat resembled, with no flavor. But I was really looking forward to the nachos ! Only to find the box swamped with old refried beans that were damn near crusty, granted a general portion of Carnitas that were ok, but so much seemingly fake guac and sour cream on top of store-bought stale chips, I wish I had taken a picture, I was disgusted. The two star rating is averaging my experiences at this restaurant because it is so vastly varying . I don't know who wire what possessed you to change the way you do things, but please change it back!

This place has been around for forever! I hadn't been here…read morein ages and it was even better than I remember it. Well staffed and everyone was so kind and welcoming. The corn chips were great and the flour chips were fresh and warm! We had the taco salad with carne asada, a shredded beef taco, and an enchilada. I was stuffed afterwards. The meat was fantastic... the flavor and texture. The servings were generous. And the food came out quite quickly despite the restaurant being at least halfway full. Will definitely be back!

Hmm, guess I was there on an off night. Came in last night (Tuesday) around 5:45 and the place was…read morepacked; took the last parking spot way down by the personal trainer's studio. Promising! Ordered to-go ... first of all, the menu is outdated so what should have been my bill was $10 higher than I thought. I get it, prices go up. But when my bill was $70 and not the $50 I was expecting, I was curious. I was charged an additional $1.50 for each item that had chicken in it (mind you the menu noted there would be that extra charge for burritos and every one of those items was a taco). Then I was charged for chips and salsa when the menu said those came with the meals. So the $10 upcharge is now at $18; there's the $20 difference. Now the food. Chips were stale and unsalted. I got two salsas: one that was too spicy to eat (I had asked for mild or medium) and one that was reminiscent of a ketchup base. Hard-shell chicken taco (I asked for soft): zero flavor (but the cheese was good). Soft chicken taco: I wouldn't know as these were my daughter's but she asked where I picked up dinner because the chicken had zero flavor. 0/5 stars on the upcharged chicken tacos - guess I should have stuck with cheese tacos and avoided the upcharge. Carne asada soft taco: this one was OK, meat was a little dry but at least it was seasoned; probably the best item in the order for 3.5/5 stars. I'd say I'd give them another chance, but ask more questions before handing over an extra $20 because that's totally on me ... but when your disappointed hungry kid tells you her food has no flavor, that's a hard no for this mama bear.

So we saw this place and decided to check it out. And boy are we glad we did. You walk into a grocery store, and in the back there is a counter and a big menu to order from. I ordered the asada nachos, and my husband ordered the Chilli Rellano. Because we like to try a variety, i also ordered a fish taco Ala cart. We sat down and they brought us chips and salsa. Be careful the salsa is a little spicy, but so delicious, and chips were hot and fresh. Yum. When we got out food is was not only beautiful, but on my nachos, the flame grilled asada was very tasty. My husband was very impressed with my meal and with his own. The sauce that they used on the relleno was not just an enchilada sauce like most places we visit. It was more thick and tomato like. It was very good. And the taco, so glad we got that. Not sure what sauce they used on it, but the flavor got my taste buds attention, the entire meal was so fantastic. When we go back I want to try the enchiladas and I'm getting those nachos again. Thank you for your hospitality and the tasty food.
