While visiting a friend in Vallejo, we decided to satisfy our craving for Mexican food and ended up…read moreat Linda Patria. What a pleasant surprise. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Even the salsa served with the chips stood out because it tasted incredibly fresh. The real showstopper, however, was the watermelon margarita. They literally cut a fresh watermelon and blended it to order. That alone deserves extra stars in my book. The service was excellent from start to finish, and we had no trouble finding parking despite the lot having only about ten spaces. The day we visited, they were playing '90s Latin pop classics from artists like Cristian Castro, Ricky Martin, and Fey, and I was loving every second of it. The restaurant has plenty of seating, a welcoming bar area, and a fun atmosphere that made us want to stay awhile. My friend and I left feeling like we had just discovered a new favorite Mexican restaurant, and we will definitely be back.

I first discovered Sol y Sazon during their Taco Tuesday buffet and was pleasantly surprised…read more Everything I tried was delicious, there was a great variety of options, and for $16 all-you-can-eat, it was an incredible value. My favorite was their chicken tinga, which reminded me of the chicken burritos I used to get back in my hometown across the bridge. I immediately told myself I'd have to come back and order a chicken tinga burrito. A few weeks later, I finally returned on a Sunday while they were serving their World Cup Sunday brunch. I ordered a chicken tinga super burrito and a California burrito to take home. I was really excited to dig in, but when I opened the bag, the "super" burrito looked more like a regular burrito. The flavors were still great, but the filling was disappointing. There was barely any chicken or sour cream, and I had to eat more than halfway through before I finally got a decent balance of meat, rice, and beans. I even had to add my own sour cream because there was so little inside. As for the California burrito, it was just okay. The fries were stale, and there wasn't enough sour cream or guacamole, which made the burrito pretty dry. It honestly reminded me more of a breakfast burrito than a California burrito, and I wasn't a fan. Overall, the flavors are definitely there, and it's clear the food has potential. However, the portions felt skimpy for the price, making the burritos feel overpriced. I'll give Sol y Sazon another chance because I know they're capable of making delicious food, but if my next experience is like this one, they'll likely lose me as a customer.

My friends and I quickly stopped by Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño for a few tacos after dining at…read moreIn-N-Out next door. I had a chance to try out an al pastor and cabeza taco. The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy. My friend ordered a quesadilla and it was absolutely massive! I definitely would only recommending ordering a quesadilla if you're sharing it, or if you're coming with a massive appetite. Overall, Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño was a nice gem we randomly stumbled upon while routing to In-N-Out for burgers. Between the two, I would certainly save my stomach space for tacos from Tacos El Sazón Oaxaqueño next time.

Parking is a little tricky because so many people pack into the tiny lot. Plenty of different meats to choose from if you're craving tacos. But they have plenty of alternatives if you aren't feeling like tacos. I ended up getting Al Pastor, Asada, and Suadero. Suadero was okay but the Al Pastor was amazing. I lived in San Diego and I've had a hard time finding good pastor since I moved back. Freshly sliced with slice of pineapple was perfect! They have all the fixings in bins with tongs for you to pack in sandwich bags they have available. Only thing is, it seems like kind of a roll of the dice from a food safety standpoint, but hey, "street" tacos aMiRiTe? Haha. Overall fast service, great tacos. Especially for the price of $4/taco. I'd give it five stars but had to knock it down for the food safety aspect.

MI JALISCO RESTAURANTE -- SOMEONE CALL THE TACO POLICE BECAUSE THIS FOOD IS ILLEGAL!…read more HOLY CR*P... I HAVE FOUND THE GOOD STUFF! I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS RESTAURANTE!!! I ordered the Birria Tacos and the Torta Ahogada Mi Jalisco, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this was some of the BEST Mexican food I've probably ever eaten. And I've eaten a LOT of Mexican food. The birria tacos were so damn good I briefly considered hiding under the table so nobody could see me ordering another round. The flavor was on point, the meat was fantastic, and everything just WORKED. Then came the Torta Ahogada Mi Jalisco... HOLY. TACO. TRUCK. That thing showed up looking innocent and left me questioning every life decision that had previously led me to eat anything else. THIS is what I mean when I say authentic Mexican food. No nonsense. No boring, flavorless food that makes you stare at your plate wondering where the personality went. This food showed up with its boots on and went straight to work. And judging by the crowd, I'm definitely not the only one who figured this place out. This place was PACKED at lunch today! That's usually a pretty good sign that the locals know something the rest of us are still trying to figure out. The restaurant was clean, tidy, busy, and full of good energy, and the service was absolutely AMAZING. Everyone was friendly, polite, and working their butts off. I also had my service dog, an American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT), with me. They politely asked if he was a service dog, I answered, and that was literally the end of it. No drama. No interrogation. No circus. Just respectful people treating us like human beings. And THAT deserves some recognition. ‍ So here's my official DirtyFender Food Finder ruling: Food: ABSOLUTELY KILLER Flavor: OFF THE CHARTS Service: FANTASTIC Cleanliness: SPOT ON ‍ Service-dog experience: RESPECTFUL AND EASY Tip: TIP THESE PEOPLE WELL! Seriously, when you get great food from people busting their asses to serve you, SHOW THEM SOME LOVE. The cooks and servers deserve every bit of appreciation they get. I walked in hungry. I walked out happy. And now I'm sitting here wondering how soon I can go back without looking like I've developed a serious emotional attachment to a restaurant. MI JALISCO RESTAURANTE -- YOU ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT. If you're debating whether to stop here, STOP DEBATING AND GO EAT. DIRTYFENDER_CLUB FOOD FINDER APPROVED! 10/10 -- WOULD ABSOLUTELY DESTROY ANOTHER PLATE HERE.

I've been coming here for years, usually on Thursdays after school because my son likes to order…read moreplain chicken with fries. We order ahead because we're on a tight schedule -- I'm a busy, involved parent getting him to the gym after school. A few weeks back, despite ordering plain chicken, his plate came out with pico de gallo. He won't eat it that way. I didn't have time to drive back, so I let it go. The following week, we ordered in person and the waitress assured me she double-checked the order. My son's meal came out correctly -- but my plate was made plain instead of how I ordered it. Not a big deal. I can eat it. I called simply to let them know there was a mix-up -- not demanding anything, not asking for free food. What I wasn't prepared for was being called a liar. I was told the order was made correctly and that if I wanted it fixed I had to bring everything back immediately -- including the salsas. I explained we were on a time schedule for my son's gym session. Instead of understanding, I was told my "games won't fly" there and that I was being a "Karen" looking for free food. My son was hungry and upset during the call. She heard him. We drove back anyway. I placed the plate on the counter, and once she saw it, the mistake was obvious. Only then did she offer to remake it. At that point it wasn't about the food -- it was about being accused of lying and being publicly disrespected in front of my child. Weeks later, I noticed the order was never refunded. I had to dispute the charge with American Express to get my money back. I've supported this restaurant for years. This wasn't about a wrong plate -- mistakes happen. It was about how we were treated when trying to resolve it. I can't return after being called dishonest and a beggar over a simple order issue. He sido cliente de este restaurante por años. Normalmente voy los jueves después de la escuela porque mi hijo siempre pide pollo simple con papas. Ordenamos por adelantado porque tenemos poco tiempo -- soy un padre involucrado y después lo llevo al gimnasio. Hace unas semanas, pedimos el pollo simple y salió con pico de gallo. Mi hijo no lo come así. No tuve tiempo de regresar y lo dejé pasar. A la semana siguiente hicimos el pedido en persona para evitar otro error. La mesera aseguró que revisó la orden dos veces. El plato de mi hijo salió correcto... pero el mío salió mal. No era el fin del mundo. Yo me lo podía comer. Llamé solo para avisar que había un error, no para pedir comida gratis. No estaba preparado para que me llamaran mentiroso. Me dijeron que la orden estaba correcta y que si quería que la arreglaran tenía que regresar de inmediato con todo, hasta las salsas. Expliqué que teníamos que ir al gimnasio. La respuesta fue que mis "juegos no funcionaban ahí" y que estaba siendo un "Karen" buscando comida gratis. Mi hijo estaba llorando de hambre mientras escuchaba todo. Aun así regresamos. Puse el plato sobre el mostrador. Cuando lo vieron, quedó claro que el error era real. En ese momento ofrecieron rehacerlo. Ya no importaba. No era la comida. Era el respeto. Semanas después noté que nunca hicieron el reembolso. Tuve que llamar a American Express para disputar el cargo y recuperar mi dinero. Un error en una orden es humano. Acusar a un cliente fiel de mentiroso y de mendigar comida no lo es. Perdieron mucho más que el valor de un plato esa noche.

La Joya Taco Truck has been on my radar for years. I finally tried it for the first time last year,…read moreand since then it has become one of my go-to taco trucks in Vallejo. The food is very, very good, the prices are reasonable, and the portions you get are worth it. It's kind of hard to miss when driving by, but they also have a small sign near the street letting you know they're there. I had known about this taco truck for years but never stopped until last year, and now I wish I had gone sooner. I ordered a super burrito and a few tacos. One thing I really like is that they actually list the length of their burritos on the menu. That's a nice touch because sometimes you order a "super burrito" somewhere else and end up with something small. Here, you know exactly what you're getting. Out of all the taco trucks in Vallejo, this is easily one of my top three burrito trucks. I try not to burn myself out eating at the same place too often, so I like switching between favorites, and this is definitely one I keep coming back to. I almost always get the steak burrito. One thing I really love is the pico de gallo they use. They use red onions, which gives it a nice touch, and every time I get it, I can really taste the cilantro in the pico de gallo throughout the burrito. The steak and chicken street tacos were also really good but the burrito is always my favorite! Parking is never an issue because they share a parking lot with an auto body shop during off-hours, so there's usually plenty of space. They also have cones to help guide cars entering and exiting the lot. When your food is ready, they call your order number over the microphone/intercom system, then ask if you want red or green sauce and chips. Overall, I've always had a great experience here. If you're in Vallejo and looking for a good taco truck, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Parking is readily available, and you'll notice there's always people waiting for food: a sign the food is worth coming for.

I used to come here after school exams for burritos and tacos. You can't go wrong with either, but I highly recommend the suadero, their rose meat. It is easily the best thing on the menu. The burritos used to be about 12 dollars and are now around 16, but the quality and portion still make it worth it. I recently came back after about a year and it tasted exactly the same. Their service is always quick despite the long line of people there. Their complimentary pickled onions, grilled onions, and carrots along with their homemade sauces really take the burritos and tacos to another level. They have added more seating so you can eat there fresh and hot. Parking is still tight with only a few spots nearby, but it is worth it for the food.
