    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!

    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!

    Friendly staff and quick service. I ordered a breakfast burrito over the phone and they serve that all day! Plenty of parking in the lot. Tacos are also very good here.

    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!!!

    Street tacos. Beef. $2.69. Loaded with meat. Get it spicy

    Well now that I'm 72 years old it's official.... I've eaten over 1 million tacos. Good and bad. Pretty and ugly. Ridiculously expensive in tourist 5 star resorts and others in Mexico City street shacks that cost pennies. The tacos here are up at the pinnacle of quality, flavor, presentation and satisfaction. Absolutely delicious. The short menu is displayed on the video screen behind the cash register. Order, pay and wait maybe all of 4 minutes for the food. There is one small table with 4 chairs outside on the patio. Nice folks. If I'm even a little hungry when on this end of Cirby ave, it's going to be another mandatory visit even if it's for just one taco. A taste of real Mexico. Salud!

    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!

    Super nachos

    Came for the chicharrones but it's only available on the weekends. I will definitely be back to try it. Opted for the super nachos instead and it did NOT disappoint.

    5 stars all around. We ordered tacos and fell in love with this market! Hubby also ordered 2 tamales to go. Supposed to be one chicken and one bean and cheese, but ended up with two chicken . Friendly people, great prices too. We also bought a jar of Ranchera hot sauce - very good. Big parking lot.

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!

    The meat tasted like Fabuloso…read more The guy at the counter said the meat fell on the floor. I thought he was joking because he laughed right after. But proceeded to give me the order i requested. After inspection at home the smell was faint. But once cooked it almost seems like the meat had been marinated in that fabuloso fragrent liquid smell. This place is dirty and filthy. People are careless of the quality just like the owner. He use to have an other location in Rancho Cordova. But the dirty details about their specials and promotions made me sexond doubt buying anything feom there. JOKINGLY i would ask if the meat was good this time. (Its fresh we just got this batch.)

    Two years later, and they've only gotten better. Ordered their pulled pork, brisket, and chicken…read more Everything was NEXT LEVEL. So many barbecue joints put all of their efforts into making sure that the meat is tender (which is important), but neglect to ensure that the meat is properly smoked. It's almost like they have a choice to make, either make sure the meat has the proper texture, or make sure it has the smokiness that true Texas barbecue requires. I don't know why so many places can't seem to get both right. Buckethead has elevated this approach to an art form. Every bite is not just tender and delicious, but also has the perfect amount of smoke. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken...it's all delicious and smoked to perfection. Ash is truly a master of his craft, and Drake is exceptional as well. Skip the fancy, overpriced restaurants in the area and go straight to Buckethead. I want to be clear, I have absolutely no affiliation or connection with this business... I'm just trying to tell you that they are quite simply the best barbecue. I've had anywhere even close to Sacramento.

    Went for happy hour, and WOW, what a pleasant surprise! It's seriously one of those hidden gems…read moreespecially for happy hour connoisseur-LoL! 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!
