We really enjoyed this place, after a long day of driving from Las Vegas we didn't feel like driving around to find a place for dinner. So convenient, it's right next to our hotel. Loved the atmosphere the food, it was so comfortable and delicious. read more

Casa Los Abuelos Mexican restaurant in Placerville, CA, right off Interstate 50 Missouri Flat Road exit. I had Mother's Day lunch at Casa Los Abuelos. We made a reservation for our party of 10. Glad we did because this was a poplar place and filled up quickly for lunch. I've never dined here before, not because of any particular reason. But glad I gotta finally. Good food, outstanding customer service, and relaxing welcoming vibes. Service was awesome. Our waiter was on it! He had an engaging personality and did a superb job. Got drinks out, food came out hot n quick and all about the same time, refills attended to without asking, and they even allowed us to split checks (we asked for 3). Awesome! We received complimentary chips and salsa. No complaints there. The salsa was flavorful with a nice thickness. It took me forever to choose... the options were plentiful. I ended up ordering the lamb shank. $23.The shank itself is a distinctive flavor cut of meat. If it's cooked right, it should be moist, fork tender and infused with the slices used. Well ... they did it right! Spiced and marinated giving it flavor to pair with the shank's natural distinct flavor. Mmm. The plate came with Mexican rice and refried beans with flour or corn tortillas. The rice was fluffy. The refried beans were tasty. Prepared well, no aftermath toots. The restaurant is not new but well kept and maintained. Relaxing, family friendly vibes. The interior decor was festive. Beautiful carved wooden booths. They have a separate bar area offset in its own room. The women's restrooms had beautiful colorful tiled bathroom sinks. Fun pop of color. read more

We went here while in town for a family reunion in July. Nice restaurant right next to our hotel which made it convenient and an easy choice as to where to go for dinner. Inside looks like your typical Mexican restaurant. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. I ordered the Chili Colorado - so good and very flavorful without being overly spicy hot. My husband chose the Grande 2 combo - Chicken Enchilada and a Chili Relleno. He said both were great and the rice and beans were good too. The only problem we had is that my husband ordered a house margarita, he said it was ok, but when we got the bill we noticed that the margarita was $14.25. A little steep for a house margarita. We just paid the bill and left. I doubt we will be back as we don't get to Placerville very often, but if you're in town give it a try. Great Food Great Service read more

We arrived at 12:45 hoping for some outdoor seating for the dog. Unfortunately there was no outdoor seating, but no big deal we were staying at the hotel right across the street. The host was very kind and offered to ask the manager if we could sit inside with the dog but the answer was an expected sorry, no. So far great service. When we came back we were seated right away at a comfortable booth. We ordered 3 street tacos. Two Al pastor and one carne asada. They brought out chips and salsa right away with waters. I ordered a top shelf margarita to share with my boyfriend. Good thing we shared because it was huge! It said it had a floater shot, but I couldn't see that and it didn't come on the side like it usually does. Makes me question if it was even in there? The tacos took about 30 minutes to come out which was a very long time for 3 tacos. BUT they were very good quality tacos. Seemed like the corn tortillas could've been made in house. The quality of the al pastor and the carne seemed very good. I really enjoyed the tacos. I'd say the wait will be longer because the quality is fresh. I would definitely come back again! read more

Second time at this restaurant and I can only give it three stars. The service was OK. The food was just OK. I had the cheese enchiladas and they were very very cheesy and the flavor was just OK. I did like the inside atmosphere decorations of the restaurant. I probably would never return. read more

Been to this place twice and both times it was great! Love the atmosphere and their service is friendly. Had the Mexican Pizza for appetizer twice, it is awesome. Oh and their Old Fashioned is fantastic! Will definitely be back. read more

This place was a mess from start to finish. Service was painfully slow, disorganized, and straight-up inaccurate. I ordered a super burrito with al pastor. What I got? Carne asada. When I pointed it out, the waiter argued with me about what meat it was (wild) and then still charged me extra for the al pastor anyway. The upcharge was never removed. So I paid more for food I didn't order, got attitude for calling it out, and zero accountability. To top it off, the food made me physically sick afterward. That's the dealbreaker. Bad service, wrong order, pointless arguing, and food that left me regretting the whole experience. Not worth the money, not worth the time. Hard pass. read more

I have been coming here for little bit now and I've always love the atmosphere of the place. Parking is little bit wonky. The couple times I have went in there is usually no wait time the workers are really nice there everyone I have encounter. Downfall is sometimes when you order a drink takes little longer than it should sometimes you have to remind them. I do love the margarita it tastes like a margarita. I love mine on ice and with a salt rim they also have other flavors too and can do it blended. They have a small size and a large size option. The food is really good it's always hot and fresh. I always have extra to take home and eat it the next day. If you live Mexican food and good drinks I recommended this place. read more

Ordered food for 14 people to take home. We purchased the fajita taco bar package. There was so much food!! It was wild. They definitely did not skimp! We had huge trays of , fajita veggies, chicken, pork, steak, rice, beans, pico, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, & both kinds of tortillas and a big container of salsa. Everyone loved it! Thanks!! read more

This restaurant is our go-to for Mexican food. The portions are large and the drinks are good. Servers are attentive. It can be a bit loud if you sit in the bar area so I recommend a booth in the main dining area. read more

Casa Los Abuelos is hands down thee best Mexican food to get in El Dorado County, the service is spectacular, especially servers Eric, David, and John, and the bartender Angel, makes the most delicious that make you feel good that won't taste like straight liquor, the best of both worlds. I give this place 5 stars, I've never had a bad experience and I've been going since I was a little girl. Also it is perfectly lit inside, not too dim or too bright. My go to dishes are Tacos Al Carbon, Pollo en Crema, the Asada Plate or the Albóndigas if it's cold out. My go to drinks are the top shelf margarita on the rocks or the Cadillac, as well as any creations Angel suggests if you sit at the bar. read more

I went there last Saturday for the first time and was very disappointed. First of all, I ordered the carnitas plate and after 15 minutes of waiting, they came by and told me that they were out of Carnitas. How could that be on a Saturday afternoon? I then asked if they can substitute the lamb shank dish for the same price, which was three dollars more and they said no. I then ordered the enchilada combination with steak and when I got the bill, I noticed that they charged me $2.95 per enchilada because it was steak. When I questioned it, the waiter just pointed to the menu and said "it's on the menu you should've read it." . well if I would've got the Carnitas, I wouldn't have had to pay extra for a different kind of meat. Also, the house margarita was so sweet, I've never had a margarita that tasted so sweet. Not sure if I'm willing to give them another chance. read more

Casa Los Abuelos - Lite Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Placerville, California

I've ordered a Dıablo Burger to go. The bottom piece of the bun was as hard as the bottom of a leather dress shoe! Top piece was as dry as cardboard! I was staying at adjacent Best Western hotel. So after picking up the food within 3 minutes it was not an edible piece! I also got a carne asada quesadilla. Meet inside the quesadilla was 5 dime size pieces. First I thought they got my order wrong and gave me a plain cheese quesadilla until I got to my 3rd bite. Then I saw those little dime size 5 pieces of meet. Really? Waste of money! I threw the burger away since even the meet patties were overcooked and dry as they could be! read more

Went here and ended up paying $71 for two very mediocre meals and service wasn't told that they charge an 18% service fee on top of a fee for using a card .. I wouldn't recommend going here you should go to tijuana taqueria a 1000 times better food and service... read more

Casual, family-owned chain that offers Mexican favorites. Although, we did not dine in, we did have a takeout order that was ready for pickup at the scheduled time. Portion sizes were great and the food was tasty. Tried their carnitas burger, Fajita quesadilla, and abuelas taquitos. If I'm in the area again, I'll dine in for the full customer experience. read more

Very expensive burrito with al pastor (extra cost) and both burritos had so little meat. My daughter said "this burrito did not have any meat." I did not fully understand what she was talking about until I ate about 3/4 of a left over burrito and some of my son's burrito. Essentially no meat. Sorry. Never again and the impasto cost more than standard meats. read more

Amazing food and even better service! Whether I'm here with my small family or a huge group, the staff always makes us feel welcome and well-taken care of. Highly recommend Casa Los Abuelos for any occasion! read more

This place used to be the best in town. Not this time. I went in today 06/29 at 5:00. I ordered 5 items. It took 20 minutes to get the items I ordered. It took me 10 minutes to get home. Almost everything was barely warm. The chili relleno was cool to the touch. The chicken mole had chicken that was dry ( like it had been sitting out for a while). The albodigas soup was the only item of the five that was hot. This was a major disappointment!. read more

Won't be back! The food was sooo salty, the burrito was left half eaten. The tamale was dry, small and had little meat. The only good thing is one can select a green salad instead of rice and beans. The service is the bright spot. The wait staff is very kind. read more

Wonderful food!! The interior is undergoing some renovation, after a fire destroyed some of the building, but you will love the food so much, you won't even notice the odd loose tile. ;) My favorite is the fajita sampler! read more

We were very disappointed. First our waiter, brought drinks took our order, no sugar for the tea, 23 minutes waiting for food. Hubbies fahita salad had 2 table of meat 4 pieces of red pepper and lettuce. avacado , that was it. My order was a chicken enchilada and pork tamale, I received 2 cheese enchiladas, he returned my correct order and it was awful The chicken was so dry and tasteless and the tamale was all masa and about a pinky finger size of pork. The entire meal was awful including the service. Not even an offer of drink refills. I don't think I would give the restaurant a second chance since everything about this business was bad, not just flavor but, incorrect order and poor service. Very disappointing read more
