This place was really good the quesabirria tacos where really good nice crunchy tortilla not soggy and really injoyable invironment the server was really nice and respectful I would come back read more

We've tried to give this place a few tries but our last experience wasn't good. Our waitress was very inattentive not just with our table but the table beside us. I ordered the quesabirria tacos and the meat tasted like it had gone bad. It was an unpleasant last experience as we won't be going back. read more

The service was not great. Seemed like we were more of an inconvenience coming in to eat. The food was just ok. Drinks and chips did not get refilled. The tables were sticky and peeling. On the plus side the kiddo loved the chicken strips. read more

The food was delicious! Service was a bit slow but it was worth the wait. If you plan on going be prepared to wait longer than normal for your meal. There was a table next to us that had plans and never received their food and had to leave. read more

Cascabel - Tacos. Yummmmm - Mexican Near Me - Angels Camp, California

Just finished a delicious lunch here. My husband and son enjoyed their large burritos, and I had a great keto-friendly shrimp fajita salad. My son also loved the bacon chorizo queso. But what made our experience truly memorable was the terrific service. Our server, a tall, slim, blondish young woman was working so hard (she was the only server for a full restaurant of 6 or so tables) but was so responsive and gracious. Even my teenager noticed and said she should get a raise :). read more

Food wasn't bad but I save each credit card receipt and compare them to the monthly statement. It's rare but I occasionally find an error. In this case I was charged $2 more than I signed for. So somewhere between when I signed for the bill and when the final total was submitted to the credit card processor, someone added a small amount. Not a federal case but I'll take my business elsewhere next time. read more

I am over 50 years old and have eaten Mexican food all over the US and in Mexico and this little mom & pop restaurant out in the middle of Angels Camp surprised me so much by providing a very quaint atmosphere, very friendly service, awesome salsa made with smoked tomatoes, fabulous food (the best) at such an affordable price. Five stars at a 3 star price. Well done Cascabel!! read more

Wonderful little place great food and great service! The salsa is wonderful. Guacamole wonderful. The enchiladas were great and I would definitely go back! read more

When we got to the restaurant at 11am it was not busy at all there was only 4 people. We waited a good 10 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated we were given a menu never offered any water, we did get fresh warm corn chips. The salsa was very water down and not even pica (hot) We didn't get any water (STILL) or having someone to taking our Order. After waiting and still being waiting to be offer something to drink, I went up to the counter and was going to ask the lady how much longer it would be before she could take our order but she was busy on the phone, try to get someone to help her on how to work there credit card machine to work. I could tell the poor lady was overwhelmed as I waited and waited Patiently There was a gentleman in front of me trying to pay his bill after 3 attempts She was having problems running his credit card due to there credit card Machine right then and there I knew there was going to be issues. I thank her and left, I also told her that her Internet was down. There was only one lady doing it all I felt really bad for her. I was told this was Voted #1 Mexican Restaurant My husband and I were so looking forward on enjoying their Mexican food. We had travel a hour from home. Our Customer experience was not good at all. My suggestion is they need more help. I sure would have like to try their Shrimp tacos and Nachos. Better luck next time. read more

Came in for lunch and so glad we did. Tacos were so fresh and flavorful! The side of rice and beans was unlike ones I've had before. The rice had a garlic and cheesy flavor and was so good. My husband tried the taco vampiro's, oh my were they delicious! The have some heat and the homemade corn tortillas are amazing. Portions are generous and the service was great. Will be back. read more

Cascabel - Taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Angels Camp, California

Best thing was the chips and salsa. Unusual taste to enchilada sauce. Garlic rice just ok. Maybe it is just the region the food is from but not the Mexican food I am accustomed to or like. read more

We stayed in Angels Camp for a weekend trip to Bear Valley. They were able to accommodate our party of 16. We phoned in our order ahead of time and we sat in the downstairs area...just us. We're from the bay area and have tried at least a hundred Mexican restaurants all over the bay. Cascabel is in our top 3! They offer their own brand of flavors and have something for everyone at a great price (which is subjective since we've been to ma/pa Mexican restaurants at almost street prices to fine dining Mexican restaurants, Luna in SJ). If it wasn't food and margaritas that keep us coming back when we're in the area, the service is amazing and waitresses are incredibly nice, friendly, proactive and accommodating. Shout out to Lexie and the gal that was home during holiday break to host/serve on our other trip (her name escapes me). If I had to be critical, the food can be a little slow, but you're rewarded in the end. Cascabel, if you're reading this give Lexie a raise! She's incredible. read more

Amazing place and amazing people. We went here on a weekend and I have to say, their margaritas are amazing. I bought the enchiladas and it was amazing. read more

Found Cascabel in Angel's Camp on our way to Tahoe. We had the regular nachos with no meat and the frijoles charro. The food was great. I loved the frijoles. Spicy and flavorful. I put them on my nachos. The chips are thin, which we liked. The salsa is off the hook. Served it warm as they just made it. I have no idea what was in it but we walked away with a 16 oz tub. It is not spicy, just has a super flavor. read more

Everything is amazing! From the homemade corn tortillas to the carne asada. The shrimp is excellent. Don't be tempted to fill up on the chips, even though the salsa is worth it. read more

Good food, service and ambience. Salsa was awsome. Server couldn't tell us what it was called or made from.

It started with fried avocado with bacon jalapeño aioli. wow. I ordered a taco plate. MyLove ordered shrimp fajitas. It's 5 on a Monday afternoon in old Angels Camp. The place is empty. The avacado is very rich, very good. Plate presentation is lovely. MyLove tried the garlic rice, I had the Spanish rice. I also stocked my taco platter with chicken, carnitas, and chorizo tacos. Altogether a fine dining experience. By the time we left the place was hopping. It didn't surprise me. read more

Lived up to its yelp rating. This was our only restaurant visit in Angels Camp before heading home after our short getaway (initially skeptical since the town didn't have many restaurants to explore.) My fish tacos were fantastically fresh. Hubby's steak fajitas had that great blend of savory spices along with the peppers & onions. Quesadilla and fries hit the spot for our toddler. Complimentary chips & salsa were excellent. Servers were funny & friendly (when our daughter asked what's downstairs, they said "bad kids and misbehaving customers" which made her wide-eyed but amused). We'd return if in town again. read more

Cascabel - Fish tacos, steak fajitas, fries, chicken quesadilla = 2 thumbs up - Mexican Near Me - Angels Camp, California

Great spot! We used Cascabel as a caterer for an event this March and they went above and beyond to make it a great experience (not to mention the food was tasty)! The gave us quality serving utensils and provided all the fix ins for a smooth experience. I was very impressed with their customer service, courteous touches and attention to detail - highly recommend! read more

Definitely one of our regular local spots. ( food truck in Murphys is great too). Homemade salsa is the best. Enchilada family packs saved us during covid. read more

Amazing food and service. Can't wait to go back. Have heard excellent recommendations for breakfast as well.

This was a pleasant surprise! We went with low expectations and were served some tasty Mexican food hunty! We had 5+ ppl in our table and everything we ordered was tasty. Authentic food without being too flashy, I'm down. Desserts were goooey delicious, we tried the tres leches and the flan. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. Great with kids, overall great service. Definitely will be back and recommend. read more

Not very good Mexican food! The posole and cheese quesadilla are the only good things on the menu! read more

Cascabel - Mexican Near Me - Angels Camp, California

This restaurant had slow customer service and the food quality was poor 1 out of 10 would not recommend. We waited 30mims just for drinks and an hour for our food and our waitress was unapologetic about both. Facility cool, service no bueno. read more

The food here is definitely different than most places in the area. That is a good thing! Have only been here one time and everything I ordered was delicious . Some items on.menu are not available right now. I look forward to trying some new things from here . This place and angels kitchen are the only good Mexican places on this side of town. read more

Extremely casual looking place - you can see the drinks cooler and the cart with dirty plates, the tables and chairs themselves feel very fast casual in ambiance HOWEVER the food is delicious. Once you get over that this is a fast casual place albeit with table service you'll be fine. The chips were thin and light but they ought to ask if you want hot or mild sauce because the mild is way too plain and it is more on the green side than red. The spicy sauce is that - VERY, VERY spicy and again green, not red, but a light green that almost looks like guacamole but be forewarned it is as hot as fire! The beet salad was fine, not great, but for me seriously lacking in quantity of beets as it had too much jicama and apples, and the peanuts topping it were a strange flavor contrast. Hazelnuts would be a better choice. The dressing was almost nonexistent - seems like only beet juice with no oil, garlic or vinegar. The beets seemed out of a can, not freshly roasted. Too many other really good beet salads out there to order this again. Pass on this. The cheese filled chile relleno was very tasty. Instead of a classic red tomato sauce it was served with what tasted like an orange bell pepper sauce. The cheese was abundant, the breading and sauce tasty and it was served with three tortillas (your choice corn or flour) and a side of a delicious, but totally out of place culinarily speaking, side casserole of cheesy potatoes - they weren't cheesy as in gooey, but cheesy in terms of flavor in a creamy white sauce studded with boiled potato pieces and peppers. Again - get over that they would be awesome with a steak more so than an already wet and creamy chile relleno and enjoy them. The best things we had were the a la carte tacos. We had both al pastor and carnitas. The meats were juicy and flavorful, not overcooked as is so often in a place serving reheated taco fillings. The carnitas had some crispness on the meat chunks. The al pastor had very traditional pineapple and chile flavor and were very moist. The tres leches cake was the best one of our tablemates said they had ever tasted. It was quite moist, with solid milky notes and a drizzle of homemade caramel over the whipped cream topping. A solid place for a quick and delicious bite. We will return. read more

Delish! Service was on point. Super friendly, helpful & accommodating staff. We were a party of 8 & they did there best to fit us in. FYI for families NO KIDS MENU! Didn't end up being a problem my boys shared a taco plate which they loved & gobbled all up! Little on the higher end of the price side & small portions for the price. Just another heads up. Taste wise it is delicious! I dont regret going @ all!! I think this is definitely a must try when in Angel's Camp. Thank you for the reply and the info. I did ask the server if there was a kids menu available. She said no they didn't have children's options which is why I ordered them the taco plate. Thanks again for an amazing night. read more

Love their modern, unique and flavorful Mexican food menu! You can still get a great burrito or tacos but they also have some other very unique dishes that are great. Top pick in Angela Camp for reliably great food and service. read more

This would have been a 1 star except for the fantastic wait staff. I had the beef fajitas. I would not recommend. They were over marinaded and not Mexican flavors; tasted more like soy sauce. I couldn't eat them. My daughter liked her burger and said the fries were great. I also felt sick after eating chips and salsa and queso. I did get sick later that evening. On top of this, the kitchen took 20 minutes to get out the appetizer and another 20 minutes for the entrees. Again, the food is poor quality, but the staff were very nice, attentive, and professional. The ambiance is nice, but I would not go again based on the spotty food quality and slow kitchen. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Loved the nachos and fried guacamole appetizer. Really the best nachos I've ever had! Cute town Angels Camp, very walkable. read more

I knew this place wasn't going to be your typical Mexican restaurant when I started out in the restroom and it had a stylish design sink; the rest of the place is mod stylish too w/brick. Now the food: chips were crispy good, so were smoked tomato salsa. My partner had mole verde chicken (we haven't seen this before, and we live in the SF Bay Area). I had good fresh enchiladas ( portion a bit small but good prices), all classily presented. Horchata seemed a bit watered down. Non-typical items on menu such as cactus ( molcajete), menudo, churro, tres lrches-- no burritos! Yay! Found out that owners are from Hildago, which might explain some of the unique dishes. Friendly waitperson. Would definitely go back if we're in the area. read more

So we show up, 20 some odd riders, and Shayna, our server/waitress/busgirl/EVERYTHING couldn't have been more accommodating and sweet. Literally EVERY ONE of our variety of riders weren't just satisfied, but impressed. Which isn't easy to do. Yet she managed it with such grace and humor that it made the experience a memorable one. And this girl has so much class that she gave kudos to the chef in front of our group so we could give credit where it was certainly due. I know I speak for everyone when I say Thank You all for a great experience and this place definitely has earned its ratings. Oh and a special shout out to the smiling guy that helped with everything . Oh! I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fabulous decor. This place is definitely top notch. read more

Great service, good food. Good presentation with unique flavors. My waitress was friendly and managed the timing of the food. Decent prices for this experience. A little odd: The theme occurs to me as modern rustic, with Mexican as it's food. However, the music was all classic American, including R&B, and the Eagles. The Food: Beet/jicima/orange/peanut salad was awesome, as were the creamy potatoes...5 stars for these and highly recommended. The Mole Verde: 3 stars. I was expecting the chicken to be simmered and pulled, with flavors abounding. Rather dull chicken. The sauce was flavorful, also. Chef just missed the opportunity to take an ordinary bird and make it tasty. Perhaps this will be heeded and the dish be transformed. I would come back if in town. read more

Dont order posoli in this restaurant ... we went yesterday it tasted bad. My husband ordered pastor burger he said it was good. read more

Cute sandwich board advertising draft beer and tacos special is what brought us in the door. Was happily served by a delightful young lady who looked like Emma Stone (draft beer was delicious so I can't remember her actual name... sorry) We got CARDED!!! Which was a treat to our senior crew! We started with fried avocado that was the highlight that was soon shadowed by the street tacos. Cute place, great beers, and delicious food made our trip to Angels Camp worth the drive! read more

Truly the sign of good service is being able to deal with a party of 7 (three of whom are toddlers) with grace and smiles. We were welcomed warmly when we arrived and were quickly seated. Warm chips arrived with a delicious homemade salsa, and our orders were filled quickly. If you have kiddos with you, ask your server about the kids menu, they'll list off a few items. My son had the bean burrito, it was just rice, pinto beans, and cheese. It was large - definitely adult size, so two kids could feasibly split one. He chowed down on it which is impressive because he's in a phase of not eating anything. My husband and I ordered tacos. He had al pastor and I went with chicken. They're served like a proper street taco from SoCal! They were delicious. The two Brazilian toddlers we were with destroyed the plate of rice and beans - also a good sign for the flavor! We had a great experience and would definitely return. read more

I don't think I've ever written a yelp review, but this place deserves one. My grandmother and I come in here once or twice a month because the food is so damn good. I get the quesabirria and she gets the fish tacos. She's lived in Southern California for years and still says this place has the best Mexican food she's had in her life, and I could happily agree. Staff are great too, and I always walk out the door a happy customer! read more
