We stopped in for lunch on a weekday and there was plenty of parking available in the business area…read moreand it was easy to find. We were meeting a friend and they had gotten a table for us before we arrived, but it wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables available. We're glad we had a chance to try Cantina Pedregal before it changes into Nixtaco- although now having been to both you're going to have delicious food either way. The restaurant is beautiful and whoever did the interior design was so thoughtful with the furniture, colors and ambiance. It's very warm, welcoming and calming inside. A great date spot or place for a meeting. The lunch menu has a good variety of options, and is broken down into smaller bites/appetizers, salads, main plates, and then sides. It's a nice spot to share dishes so you can try more items and share the sides. We ended up getting the chips and salsa ($7) with an extra salsa ($4), Grilled Black Half Chicken ($23), and Fideo Seco ($14). Our friend got the Carne Asada Tacos ($24), Refried Beans ($12), and Red Rice ($10). The sides were shareable and needed, since the entrees came on their own. Our friend added some of the beans, rice and Fideo Seco on their tacos and our chicken did come with some tortillas to make our own tacos or eat on it's own. Everything was high quality and flavorful. The Fideo Seco was surprisingly my favorite item. It is vermicelli pasta with sofrito, chorizo and egg yolk and was very tasty. The chicken was good, but hard to eat without using your hands to get all the meat off the bones- the messy hands didn't seem to fit with the restaurant vibe but we loved the flavor and how tender the chicken was. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh, but it seemed like a lot to charge $4 for the ramekins of salsas. I would pass on chips and salsa next time. Overall it was a great vibe, high quality food and good service. Definitely more of a treat meal or great spot to impress a date or business client. For a regular chill meal it felt a bit expensive, but I think they're going for more upscale.

I had been waiting to come here for a while now so glad we made it in . We drove 40 mins just to…read moreeat here. Walking in the decor is very modern and nice . The restrooms is for everyone. You walk in and the doors close individually but u do share the space and area to wash your hands with anyone that walks in . Not bad never really seen this before . Our waiter was amazing his name was Doug he explained the menu to us . It could be a lot but he helped us . Doug was very helpful and attentive. We ordered drinks my favorite one was called Sol Dorado . I wish they had more Gin drinks I had the only Gin drink called Brissa Del Mar but ,I was not a fan . For food we ordered the Caesar salad , sweet potato which was amazing. For our main dish we ordered the cazuela (Asado De Puerco ) which is pork stew it came with handmade corn tortillas . We made some delicious tacos out of it . I had to get dessert they all sounded so good! We got the Smoked Pumpkin Tres Leches delicious. Overall, it was a different experience the food is a bit different and I'm Mexican BTW but it's from a part in Mexico called Monterey every part in Mexico has their own way of cooking . The menu its self is different you order to share . It's a little on the pricier side but the portions were a good size for sharing . I feel like for the main entree there is not that many options on there wish to see more . Overall we had a great time . Great food and ambiance.

The other day, they were extremely busy, so my order took longer than usual. Without me saying anything, they gave me a few extra items to make up for the wait.

Thank you for the kindness and generosity - you definitely have a loyal customer in me!

Ordered takeout for the first time... easy and simple. Order came out relatively fast which was…read morenice. Was offered chips and salsa from the chip and salsa bar before leaving. I ordered a small lengua taco and carne asada nachos. The taco was just okay. The meat was cooked perfectly but there was no real flavor. Sadly, the chips for the nachos seemed stale so I attempted to supplement with the chips from the salsa bar only to have them also be stale. The nachos had an odd fishy flavor to them, perhaps coming from the refried beans. There's no real flavor. The meat was lacking and the cheese that was used was not flavorful. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. I'll be back to try again with a companion to compare reviews in the future!

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the greater Sac area, will definitely be returning here…read more The guac was so good and so large, it's just pure avocado heaven. The steak and enchiladas were also good, the mole on top of the enchiladas was very sweet though if you are expecting savory. 100% my favorite rice and beans side I've had at any Mexican restaurant, the black beans are seasoned exceptionally and the cilantro rice was really tasty. As usual, exceptional service and environment, part of the reason we will be returning at some point!

I don't remember which burger we got but I know we added avocado and bacon. we got one burger and asked to split . The burger was so good and I absolutely loved the way they split it on two separate plates instead of serving it on one, they even split the fries for us! that was probably the most considerate thing ever! Most places will serve the burger on one plate cut in half and serve the fries on one plate too. It was a small thing that made a big difference! The sweet potato fries were perfect too!

Complimentary corn tortilla chips, salsa, and refried bean dip with cheese. I loved the REFRIED BEAN DIP! I ordered the Steak a la Chicana. I didn't read or listen carefully enough that the skirt steak with sauteed onions and bell peppers are covered in Spanish sauce. The sauce is actually quite tasty with a little kick. I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort. Choice of beans: refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans. I suspect refried beans is the tastiest option. El Tapatio would be a great gathering place for friends and family. It's located on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights near See's Candies and other restaurants.

They had I think it was $1.50 tacos on taco Tuesday. The tacos were really good and the salsa bar is excellent! The bean dip isn't too bad either. I've also come to try out their other menu options and let me tell you they do not miss. I've heard they have a really good brunch and I need to try it out lol. I love a good brunch. The service is always great and it's always busy every time I've come even have had to wait in a line that when out the doors. There is plenty of seating the restaurant is pretty big inside. There's a bar as well. Is it the best Mexican food in Sac? No. Is it delicious? Absolutely! If you haven't been here it's a must.
