    Great customer service. Nice amount of seating inside. Simple menu. Super fresh and wrapped to perfection. Red salsa was so good, perfect amount of flavor and spice. Homemade refried beans, rice, and tortilla all complimented the DELICIOUS authentic carnitas. Best carnitas burrito I've tried in Sac. Huge and cheap!!! Definitely will be back

    Looks like this restaurant has expanded to Yuba city!! We recently saw this new restaurant open on second street (garden hiway) near bridge street. The piggy logo outside made us want to give it a try!! (that is how we figured out it appears to be the same restaurant as this one on Northgate!!) We ordered four carnita tacos with rice and beans. The server (maybe the owner?) was very friendly and helpful with our order. The tacos were super stuffed with carnitas and came with tasty rice and beans. We asked for water and our server gave us bottled water for free as he wasn't sure the quality of the tap water. (We appreciated that). We will be back to try the birria tacos for sure!

    Carnitas Super Burrito. I asked for some cuerito in it and they did it! SO GOOD!

    I've been looking for a carnitas spot around Natomas and I found it!!! Super delicious. The staff is very friendly. Prices are great. Parking is a bit of a challenge, but SO SO SO worth it! 100% recommend!

    Cooked my burrito on gross burnt food pieces

    Cooked my burrito on burnt food :/ I know they probably saw it was like this and still decided to send it out. Sad they don't really care obviously.

    This place has the BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN!…read more I don't want to leave such a great review because I can tell it's getting more and more and not customers as the word spreads! Then I'm afraid the process will go up and there will be long lines!! Haha!! I want this place ALL TO MYSELF!! The salsa bar is always clean and filled! They have staff monitoring it during rush hours to insure everything stays topped off. The grilled onions and jalapeños are delicious and the salsas.... I'd go just for that salsa bar!! Their Micheladas (I order with light Modelo) are rimmed with the sweet Mexican tajin (I think it's called)...orange slice, cucumber, and 2 prawns! But the star is the Quesabirria, the consommé! Oh dear god have mercy. I can't eat large volumes and this is the only place that will let me order one. The consomne has been cooked and simmered forever and it's always got good chunks of super tender pulled beef. I can go on but, like I said, I want this place all to myself!! Even my son and his gf come up from SF to order the burritos, which they say are the BEST they've ever had! So happy to see such a GREAT RESTAURANT on NORTHGATE and JUST a couple miles from my home!! Yaaaay!!! Every Friday is MY day to treat myself to this EXCELLENT MEXICAN FOOD TAQUERIA!! I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu!! Especially the soups and the seafood dishes!! Mui Bueno!!! Gracias!!!!!!

    $3 tacos $15 loaded baked potatoes. Service is friendly and I try to speak to them in broken…read moreSpanish. Sometimes the lady who does the payment is grumpy sometimes the lady is friendly. Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

    The tacos tasted great, but I left feeling confused about the pricing. The posted price for pastor…read moretacos was $3 each. I ordered 4 tacos and one large drink, paid with a $20 bill, and received only $1 back. No receipt was provided and no explanation of the charges was given. Good food is important, but so is trust. Customers should receive a clear total and a receipt when paying. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
