Beautiful mural. Had to take a picture.

Had gone into this shopping area looking for the Sushi restaurant. Closed. Noticed this place and headed towards it. We could hear the Mexican music playing and instantly loved it. It was really busy, but we were seated and brought menus, chips and water right away. Our waiter was fabulous and very courteous. We also noticed that the waiters and waitresses all help each other with all the customers. I had the Mexican Shrimp Salad that was so delicious. I had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. The broth was the best I have ever tasted. My husband had the Carnitas fries and a piece of Flan. He loved both. Prices were a bit on the high side for some of the dishes, but we felt it was definitely worth it and come back next time we are in this area.

We had an overall good experience . Waiter was very kind . we ordered the menudo and we enjoyed it and the michelada was good too ! Our friends got the mole enchiladas and they were also tasty

Haven't been here for happy hours yet but will soon.

Ok. So I know I just posted a couple days ago, but we came in today to eat and try a Moscow Mule made by Carlos (I know it doesn't belong in a Mexican restaurant, but it is my favorite drink). This was in my top 3 Moscow Mules I have had. This was very close to the best ever that I had in a high end bar in Las Vegas. It was soo well balanced and delicious . Our food again was amazing. All of the flavors here a rich and deep. We ordered the same as last time, the enchiladas trio and chili rellenos. We had forgotten we were going to try the fajitas next . Oh well, I guess that means we have to come back .

Came back a couple years later for another happy hour, but this time isn't as good as 2 years ago. I blame COVID as the prices went up and the food quantity went down. Still not a bad place for happy hours, but just not as great of a deal as before. The Mexican taco plate said 3 tortillas with choice of meat. I thought it was going to be 3 tacos, but it only had enough meat for 1 taco. Maybe 1.5 tacos.

Delicious food, great service, very cute decorations! Fresh chips, and FANTASTIC vegan and vegetarian options. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Wanted to try this place and got the chance since we were in the area. I ordered the prime fajitas. It was okay but it was not that much in terms of food portion and since I generally don't like bell peppers, this dish was not for me. It tasted good though. Our server forgot to gave us the complimentary chips and I even had to ask for it. Another downside here was it was quite expensive here.

I'm very disappointed for the price. I ordered fajitas ($40), and a super wet burrito ($25) and it really was a meal that should've been $30 tops. In my burrito I asked for just refried beans, meat and cheese, no rice or fajita veggies and my burrito had that, but was small and consisted of one small smudge of beans. I paid $25, you can at least replace the other ingredients I removed for the others I asked for. And the fajitas were very basic, nothing special. The meat was very fatty and came with three tortillas for $40.. The food did not taste bad, but seriously! That should be a crime to charge so much for such a basic meal. If you want to pay twice as much as another Mexican restaurant for the same food, come to cantina Azteca. I really enjoyed eating here in person before, but I won't ever order to go again.

The menu
Markus R.

The location is alright. It's in the heart of Fair Oaks surrounded by many other businesses and shopping centers. It's about as suburban as you can get. There is a parking lot so that should not be an issue. We came in a large party so it was expected that the service would be alright. They were able to split the check which was awesome. The food came out in a reasonable time, about 15-20 minutes. The prices are about average for a restaurant. Expect to walk out of here for around $40 for a meal for two. The flavor was decent. Nothing to ride home about but also not bad. Just that sweet spot where the meal was filling and enjoyable. Their horchata was delicious and I quite enjoyed their rice. The only issue we faced was that our meal came with a topping that we asked to not be included. Might have been an oversight or a simple mistake, but on the "re-fry" it was wrong again! Coming from a restaurant background, I understand that mistakes happen so I'm not going to let it ruin my experience. Bottom line/TLDR: about average Mexican food restaurant.

My mom enjoyed her taco salad but my dish was a small mole enchilada with old rice and beans. It was not something I enjoyed and I finished my plate still feeling hungry! It was a let down. The hibiscus drink was good but a bit sweet We came back another day just for their fresh juices- we got really good options and hope to come back for the drink , but not sure about the food

Steak quesadilla
Erica M.

I picked up a steak quesadilla to eat while I waited at the dmv. I ordered right when I arrived and the meal was ready in less then five minutes. The host who helped me was very pleasant and friendly shout out Yasmin I believe. After opening my meal I realized she had included guacamole, salsa, chips, sour cream and another sauce I couldn't place a name to. It was awesome to have all the fixings without even asking. I would definitely return if im ever in the area.

Molcajete
Jenni S.

Just discovered this gem not too long ago and since the first time i knew id be back! Me & my man are foodies and we LOVE this place. The food is fire their service is 10/10 the art work/scenery is really lovely inside i love my culture perfect for date night. So far we have tried their molcajete couple times and they dont miss lol , even their cheeseburger was bomb !!! & those birria tacos they could be a bit cheesier and crunchy to my liking but the flavor is there ! Our fav has to be their mango marg pitcher it is a tad bit pricey but i think its reasonable for how many you get & its really good & strong but not over powering. Their whole menu has really reasonable prices especially for their big portions. Since this place is really good and now one of our go to spots we checked out their breakfast/brunch location called the Brunch corner and it is just as good !!! Love this place. Highly recommend !

I absolutely enjoy having breakfast at Black Bear Diner. I normally go to the Arden location, but…read morethe Citrus Heights location is closest to me and I decided to check them out for the first time. I walked in and waited less than a minute to be seated. This location is actually way busier than the Arden location, which to me is a great sign. My waitress shows up shortly to take drink orders and to give a few mins to look over the menu. Since I only come here for breakfast I usually only order either the Big Grizz or the Big Bear's choice breakfast. This time I went with the Big Bear's choice. I went with 2 eggs sunny side with sliced avocado, 2 sweet cream pancakes and 2 pieces of bacon. The Citrus Heights location is definitely smaller than the Arden location. It's cozy and nice and quiet. The food is always amazing and I will probably come to this location more often.

The food is always good at Black Bear Diners, however, service has steadily declined. There are…read moretwo servers and the restaurant was busy. There were three of us. We ordered coffee, two ice teas, a cup of ice, and a glass of milk with the meal. We also ordered biscuits and gravy, hash browns, toast, and cinnamon roll French toast. We received the cinnamon roll French toast accurately. We ended up with two orders of biscuits and gravy and no hash browns. Waiter picked up the biscuits and gravy, brought us hash browns, and another order of toast. The milk never came to the table. Waiter was nice, but not accurate.

Classic home cooking and comfort food [Roseville CA]…read more First time dining at Chubby's was 9 years ago in 2017 and I never returned... no reason, there were just too many dining options in Roseville but I recently came back and had brunch here one Sunday morning. A classic breakfast sounded good at the time... From the breakfast menu I chose the Juke Box Special but the friendly server suggested the Soldier Boy instead which was basically the same thing except this included grilled potatoes and only one pancake. The server urged me to try the potatoes... omgosh! it was so good, they were grilled and I love the crunchiness. Nothing fancy on the menu just good, ole' classic home cookin' and diner "comfort food." Breakfast is served all day. Chubby's Diner is a small, friendly, neighborhood diner that is as retro as it gets down from the decor and food. Friendly customer service! Review #3982

About half full. So the service was amazing! I ordered a chili burger with fries. They have the most amazing chili with beans! Best chili with beans I. The area! I do like Willy's Chili burgers but that is a different kind of burger. But for an opened-faced chili burger this is the place to go!
