Nancy was absolutely wonderful and made our night even more special. Before we headed out, she surprised my husband and me with music ,the staff came to use with two shots and a beautiful rose. It was such a thoughtful gesture and the perfect way to end our anniversary celebration. We are so grateful for the amazing experience and the wonderful memories we made. Thank you, Rosa Madera, and especially Nancy, for making our 4th anniversary so special! She got us it was a true surprise.We can't wait to come back!

Started off with a Cadillac Margarita - balanced and nicely made. Their chips and salsa are a hit!…read moreI always appreciate a good tasting salsa. Enchilada verde with shrimp was very tasty. The verde sauce was good; not too salty. The whole beans were surprisingly flavorful. I would definitely order this again. Waitress was pleasant and checked on us several times. Outside seating is a plus.

THE DAVIS LOCATION IS WAYYYY BETTER!!!!!!…read more Seating in the bar is questionable when the bartender is busy and we get the interruptions and ugly attitude: "Hey can we get some menus? The folks over got here much later than we did..." ---"THAT TABLE IS PART OF THE BAR!!" "The bartender is very busy, how are we..." ---I CAN ASK OUR SERVER BUT SHE WILL MOVE YOU!!" *ME with exaggerated body language giving a huge WTF* "Um, it's an empty table and we want to sit there. Little ass table! Bffr!" No where near the outstanding service at the Davis location. Not even the same ownership, and IT SHOWS!!

Already 5 stars just based on the salsa bar- by far the most expansive and impressive array of…read moresalsas and mixed pickled veggies I've seen offered, all complementary! I had 3 street tacos, and I'd recommend the lengua and the shrimp. The lengua was succulent and plentiful. The shrimp had great flavor and some yummy char. Overall, I'll definitely be back to get Mexican food and use the amazing salsa bar!

I just ordered a carnitas burrito from Taqueria La Perla Tapatia, and it was honestly one of the…read moreworst burritos I've had in a long time. The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

El Tapatío in Citrus Heights is a little hidden gem serving up some seriously delicious, authentic…read moreMexican food! I usually get the albóndigas soup, and it never disappoints! Hearty, flavorful, and comforting, just like a good homemade Mexican soup should be. I've also enjoyed their wet burrito smothered in green sauce, a tamale without the red sauce on top, and a side of tamalito, a delicious sweet tamale! The perfect little treat to round out the meal. Everything is packed with flavor and keeps this hungry dino coming back for more! Now, this dino has traveled and experienced Casa Bonita in Colorado, and I'd call El Tapatío Citrus Heights' own little version! It's nowhere near as big or elaborate, but it has that same fun, immersive atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor gives the place so much character, making you feel like you've been transported straight to Mexico. Pair that with authentic food, and you've got a dining experience that's more than just a meal! Rex Tip: Come hungry on weekend mornings because they offer a Mexican breakfast buffet! There are so many delicious, authentic dishes to choose from, including freshly handmade tortillas! Just be prepared for a line because this place is popular, and for good reason. We've happily waited our turn because the food is absolutely worth it! A little taste of Mexico right here in Citrus Heights that's definitely worth digging into! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

El Tapatio in Citrus Heights is not a bad spot. Place was pretty spacious and wasn't too crowded…read morewhen I went. Got chips and salsa right when I sat down, but it was about 10 minutes before anyone came to take my order. Food came out in about 8 minutes after ordering though. I got the two steak tacos meal which came with refried beans and cilantro rice. The beans were actually a highlight for me, flavorful and piping hot. The tacos were decent overall and the steak itself was definitely the strong point, but the red onions weren't finely chopped and that was throwing me off a little. Overall not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some Mexican food.

After seeing The Odyssey at the Esquire IMAX, we walked over to Tequila Museo Mayahuel for dinner…read more It was the perfect way to end our evening! The restaurant had great energy and a fun, buzzy atmosphere. The crowd was a lively mix of people from the Capitol, couples enjoying date night and moviegoers grabbing dinner before or after a show. We ordered the carnitas and carne asada. Both plates were generous and full of flavor. The carnitas were tender and practically fell apart with a fork, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly. Add friendly service and a colorful setting, and you have a great downtown Sacramento dining spot!

We went in a Saturday around 2pm, the restaurant was not busy at all and we were seated promptly…read more The food at Tequila Museo Mayahual was good, and we enjoyed the flavors and overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

They…read moreeven have a note on the menu saying they don't split plates, and once our food came out, I understood why they mention it. There is SO much food! Everything came out looking great, and the portions definitely make you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The chips, salsa and guacamole were a great start, and by the time our entrées arrived, we knew there was no way we were finishing everything. The restaurant itself is really cool. I loved the old-school atmosphere, colorful décor, tile floors, photos everywhere, and all the little details throughout the building. It feels like a place with history and personality rather than a cookie-cutter restaurant. Definitely worth checking out--but don't go unless you're hungry! Come prepared for a serious plate of food and probably leftovers!
