Al Pastor Torta
Jack B.

Been coming here forever. Their pastor pork is amazing. Recently tried the torta and I think this is the best thing on the menu. Will be back for more!

Carniceria Hernandez is legit!!!!!! Lots of different meats to choose from. Pretty fresh and the marinades were good. We got the carne asada and whipped it up on the BBQ. It was the hit and everybody loved it. The service was good too. They really knew their meats and they even had a girl translating everyone's Spanish since it's in Roseville I guess. I think they did fine. They ran out of the higher grade carne asada but the one we ended up getting was still fabulous!!!!!!!!! We also got the shrimp cocktail but it was a little bland and I had to add pepper and spice to it later.

The service is absolutely wonderful. Their al pastor and carnitas tacos are delicious. I went once and it's my go to spot when I'm in Roseville. They have taco Tuesday specials too! It's a small spot, but love the speed of service and the care they put into everything! Thank you so much!

Comentario constructivo: Lamentablemente, mi experiencia con las pupusas no fue la esperada. No se parecen a las auténticas pupusas salvadoreñas, tanto en sabor como en relleno. El precio fue elevado (casi $5 por pupusa) y los frijoles no estaban fritos, además de que el queso y los chicharrones casi no se percibían. Considero que podrían mejorar mucho si contaran con alguien con experiencia en la preparación tradicional de pupusas salvadoreñas.De verdad le sugiero al dueño de este lugar que consiga a alguien que verdaderamente sepa hacer pupusas salvadoreñas, porque estas no llegan ni a ser gorditas. Espero que este comentario ayude a mejorar.

Carnitas and Al pastor
Mary W.

Decided to have some tacos for lunch and came to Hernandez for the first time. Love that I can order online and it's the same price as in store. We got to try their quesabirria, tacos (asada, carnitas, al pastor, buche) and tamales. Unfortunately, didn't get a buche but instead of another carnitas and then didn't get the chicken tamales but 2 cheese ones. Overall the food is good especially at such affordable prices. I am surprise that the tacos are $2.69. One complaint I have is that I wish the give up more cilantro and onion along with a bigger container of salsa.... It overall pretty good. The birria was on point. The tamales were good especially for $2.50 each of 6 for $12... way better than Costco one lol!

We got 2 burritos a carnitas and alpastor - they were both really good! The rice is sooo authentic!!! It makes you just want to order a rice and bean burrito - no joke LOL it's sooo good. The ambience is super chill; you're in and out of there within minutes; they had a lot of people when we went but they made the food very quickly:) thank you!!!

I came across a few reviews of Carniceria Hernandez that piqued my interest, so my wife and I decided to check it out. As soon as we walked in, we could tell this place was exactly what we were looking for--tons of great products, fresh meats, and even some in-house prepared foods that immediately caught our attention. The staff was super friendly, offering to explain the different prepared dishes and even giving us samples. We tried the carnitas and the birria, and both were delicious. I did pass on the menudo since I'm not a fan of tripe, but everything else was spot on. My wife went for a vegetarian burrito, and I opted for the Birria De Res. I have to admit, I totally forgot to snap any pics of the food--next time for sure, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We also picked up a couple of cheese and pepper tamales, which were amazing. Once we got home, we dug in, and everything was just as tasty as we hoped. We're definitely giving this place two thumbs up and wholeheartedly recommend it. If you're in the area, give it a try--you won't be disappointed!

Went to a pop up at Rocklin community theatre on July 9th and ordered the 3 meat plate that comes…read morewith 2 sides for $25. My plate featured brisket-pulled pork & pork rib,along with Green Chile Mac n cheese and jalapeño sweet slaw and 2 slices of bread and pickled veggies. Brisket was special,10/10-perfect ratio of meat ,seasonings and fat-really enjoyed it. Pulled pork was a solid 8/10-nice flavor and not dry,which happens with so many pulled pork dishes Pork Rib was a very memorable 9/10-meat just fell off the bone with magnificent flavor! Green Chile mac was so good I wish I had ordered 2 of them!!! Overall great experience trying this true Texas style BBQ and look forward to trying them again at their next pop-up!!!

But what I wasn't prepared for was how hard this food SMACKS. We took our food home to escape the rain and just sat there in dead silence absolutely CHOMPING on the delectable gift in front of us. I've had bbq from all across the US. I've had bbq from quite a few places who claim to have good bbq and they disappoint. But this place? So humbly dominates the BBQ game. For a rainy day, the whole Oakhouse team was in great, kind, friendly spirits and happy to dish up their well-rounded menu. Their mac and cheese had me doing that chewing-while-aggressively-pointing-at the-dish kind of thing and their brisket is the kind that doesn't need to hide behind a sauce and HALLELUJAH for that. If you're blessed enough to find one of their pop-ups, DO IT. bring yo camping chair, bring yo wife, bring an appetite. Thank you Oakhouse team for raising the bar!

It's been a while since I have been inside Mercado Loco... let's see how they are doing!…read more Tonight, I did not bring enough of my homemade carnitas over to my clients and she was wanting carnita taquitos. So, I pulled into Mercado Loco because their carnitas is delicious! They have a very compact parking lot with a vendor on the sidewalk selling the doritos that you can put your sauce & lime on. I skipped him today and walked through those automatic doors... I know Mercado Loco has been here for decades. I grew up just around the corner and finally walked in about 5 years ago for the first time. Boy, was I missing out! At first, you notice this is a Mexican grocery store that also offers hot lunch/dinners. The price for some of their items are a little high than your typical grocery store... being that some of the items they offer are higher quality. However, sometimes, the prices do not match up when you get to the front. Cilantro had a price of $.69 on display, but I was charged $.75... it was only a tiny difference, but just putting it out there. I went straight to the hot case and a woman with a beautiful smile greeted me in Spanish and asked me what I would like. I ordered a pound of their carnitas. Oh, heck, give me some of those chichorrones, too. Next thing you know, I'm grabbing some of their hot salsa... I think their hot salsa is one of the best, hottest salsas that I have ever had that I can handle! We're talking nose running, but it's so good you can't stop! Next, I grab some king size corn tortillas. Some cilantro... they have wonderful produce available here... as well as those gorgeous purple dragon fruits when the season is right. After my pound is carnitas, pound of chicharonnes, cilantro, tortillas, and salsa... it came out to just a hair above $40! Ouch, but that is what you pay for when you want authentically cooked carnitas and chicharonnes. When I got home, I was a little disappointed that I was given some of the dried out pieces of their carnitas. When I say dry, it was too hard to eat. So I cut those parts off and tossed them (my carnitas blew their out of the water, btw.... just saying, lol.) The chicharon's were hot and miss throughout the entire time we ate them. Super hard, popping you he l can hear in your teeth, in your jaw... but some parts were delicious, succulent, crispy... yum! I love coming here earlier in the day. When I get tacos, they for 99% off the time on point! They are gorgeous and tasty... and get the HOT SALSA!

I was about to make it to work a little too early today... but then I spotted Buckethead BBQ at the…read moreback of the Ace Hardware parking lot. Perfect location because I had time to see them, and decide if I was going to make a stop. I pulled up to the massive set up. The big truck with 2 smokers in back... it was a bbq lovers dream to have a set up like this.. not too mention this is the only one of its kind built like this. I parked close and skipped past the menu and went straight to the man in charge today. This is where I met Ash. I'm not sure how long he was here, but he was busy. In fact, I hope I wasn't crowding him by watching him slice the brisket, making sandwiches, cutting ribs... it was satisfying to watch. After he finished that order, I mentioned that I remembered seeing Buckethead BBQ in local competitions. They have a location in Roseville that they do the cooking out of and you can call ahead, order online, and even show up. It's first come first serve, so get there early! I went with a brisket sandwich (bc I saw it had a good amount of meat on it when I watched him make one) and 3 ribs with a side of their corn salad. He was fast and added a ramekin of their bbq sauce in the box. I jammed home to enjoy a few bites before heading to work. The ribs... are by far some of the best I've ever had! In fact, I'm so disappointed in myself that I only got 3! If you know me, I am a rib connoisseur... and let's just say you are missing out if you don't make a stop at Buckethead BBQ. Fantastic fkn bark. Good smoke ring. Tender as hell, with just the right pull from the bone and perfect seasoning! I like that they put a good amount of meat on the brisket sandwich. Ash topped it with delicious coleslaw and a good drizzle of bbq sauce. I first pulled a slice of brisket out of the sandwich and played with my meat. Yes, I played with my meat. I did the test. It was flexible and pulled apart so easily. Super tender and had a good amount of fat on it... not too much. That's when I started dunking into one of the best BBQ sauces I have ever tried. It was sweet and savory. You can really taste the fruitiness in it, which is my favorite kind of sauce. Smokey... savory... and sweet. I had to force myself to stop eating the sandwich... knowing I was full, but my stomach hadn't registered it yet... plus, the thought of enjoying the rest of my sandwich tomorrow kept me going. Needless to say, I was late to work bc I was indulging in ribs and my brisket sandwich. I'm looking forward to finishing it tomorrow if my daughter doesn't get to it first!

Barbecued meats are somewhat difficult to review because there are many different regional styles and ways the meats can be presented. Many folks love their ribs to be "fall-off-the-bone", but as a KCBS certified barbecue judge, I can tell you that style is not considered competition-worthy. Some like their brisket tender but lean; others find the fatty pieces to be the most flavorful. What I can tell you for sure is that if I had come across the ribs, brisket, and chicken that I had the pleasure of eating today at an official KCBS competition, I would have given top scores to all three. Excellent barbecue, all with the perfect amount of smoky goodness and tenderness. I had the pleasure of meeting pitmaster/owner Dave and his partner Ash. Really nice gentlemen who are deservedly proud of the top-notch barbecue they are serving. They are happy to answer any questions you might have, and they definitely do know their barbecue. Service with a smile makes for a fun experience. One of my favorite kinds of discoveries in restaurants is finding a place that, from the outside, doesn't necessarily promise much. Then you decide to give it a try, and WOW, it turns out to be great. And that's what you will find with BHBBQ. It's a simple stand with an awning, sitting at the very back of a large Raley's parking lot (and easy to miss if you don't know where to look), and from the outside it just doesn't look like it will be special. But BHBBQ is very special, and that is a lot of what makes this barbecue such a treat. One cautionary note: I just happened to find BHBBQ on Instagram yesterday and saw that they were going to be nearby today. They do travel, and so before you go hunting for it, be sure you know where they'll be. They announce their schedules on Instagram, Facebook, and on their website. They also have a phone number. But this one is definitely worth the search if you're into really excellent barbecue. We had the ribs, brisket, chicken, hot links, beans, and mac & cheese. Everything was top-notch. Tastes can differ, but I can definitely recommend this terrific barbecue experience.

It was the perfect size for two and cooked beautifully--tender, flavorful, and presented perfectly. To complete the meal, we added several items from the marketplace, including fresh vegetables and sides that paired wonderfully with the steak. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and made for a satisfying dinner without feeling overly heavy. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, making it a great spot for date night or a special occasion. Service was attentive, and we never felt rushed. If you're not looking for the full Brazilian steakhouse experience, ordering the tomahawk à la carte with a few marketplace selections is a fantastic option.

The happy hour food selection was really solid and had that authentic Brazilian flair. We loved the pão de queijo (those addictive Brazilian cheese breads that are crispy outside and soft and cheesy inside), bacon-wrapped chicken, various skewers, and especially one of the best I have had chimichurri sauce that was bright, garlicky, and just perfect. The tri-tip sliders were a highlight too, tender, flavorful, and gone way too fast. These are not giant sliders. They're finger size but very tasty. There were other nice looking bites as well; overall, plenty to share and enjoy without feeling like you're missing out. The drinks were another win. Well made, balanced, refreshing, and hitting all the right notes (think classic Brazilian cocktails done right). That said, the selection felt a bit limited compared to some other happy hours around town that offer a bigger variety. All in all, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the mood for some great Brazilian barbecue vibes without the full commitment. The happy hour is a good way to discover the great food, solid drinks, and a chill atmosphere. Definitely going back, and you should too before it stops being a secret!
