All I know is that if you are at Denio's Auction and you do not stop in here for lunch before or after.....you are crazy. Do not make the mistake of getting a corn dog inside the auction area. You are missing out on the best fish tacos I have had in a LONG time. Being in the Sacramento area since 1984, I have had my fair share of Mexican food. We are blessed with a great assortment here. This place is fantastic. Competition is from Jimboy's almost directly across the street. Very different types of food. Don't get me wrong, I love Jimboy's but it tastes nothing like El Abajeno. This place is authentic and good. If you don't end up loving this place, you can come to my house and punch me in the mouth. This is a Vineyard/West Roseville GEM. read more

Last time we came here was ten years ago and still standing. We actually intended to go to La across from them but they were closed even though they posted they were still open for two more hours. Keep in mind, we came in Hangry. Ordered Carne Asada combo plate, tacos, enchilada, flautas and two sodas. It only came to $38. Limited seating. We sat outside. They brought it out. No chips and salsa, not even to purchase. It came out quickly. It was "alright". The meats really lacked flavor. I did appreciate the real avocado slice and the rice and beans were good. Employees were friendly. Very reasonably priced. Actually cheaper than most. We ate the whole thing but my appetite was not satisfied so I would not be in a hurry to go again. Solid 3 stars. read more

Let's start off with how disrespectful and rude the owners are they both work and manage the place. The older lady is extremely rude to every single customer always yelling at people for no reason she should not even be in that type of business at all she's terrible as well as the owner. Older bald guy I've been a long time customer but had to just stop going with how disrespectful and nasty this business is now. Prop all the most disgusting food business I have ever been to in my entire life plus you gotta deal with rude unapologetic owners who don't care about nothing but making a quick buck. The food has gone down in quality. The tacos lack meat and flavor. The service is horrible, the trash and dumpster is right out front where you walk in and smells horrible. If you like eating by dumpsters and enjoy rude owners with portly managed businesses this is the spot. read more

El Abajeño Tacos - Enchilada, taco beans, and rice - Tacos Near Me - Roseville, California

My low review isn't due to the food. As for the food,I can only speak to the asada tacos which were street size and very tasty. Meat was lean and flavorful, with ample cilantro and onions. No salsa bar but they provided a bottle of their salsa verde which was good and had a nice little punch. Only downside of the food was the tortilla seemed barely warmed , if that. It was definitely a mom-and-pop place which I enjoy the best. So why low stars? I really didn't like how the customer who ordered after me was treated. It is tiny inside so you cannot help but hear what others order. I distinctly heard the customer ask for no beans on his burrito, and for the tortilla on his taco to be extra crispy. After he took a few bites, he took his food back to the owner because it had included beans. Instead of doing the right thing, the owner argued with him saying he had given him what he wanted, which wasn't true. The customer explained again that he had asked for no beans. and also mdntioned that his taco wasn't hot. The owner again argued with him, said his taco couldn't be cold and even said that beans wouldn't kill him (what if that customer had a food allergy or sensitivity?). The customer left in frustration, throwing his food away. To make matters worse, the owner then complained about him to the other customers. Not cool. So while the tacos were tasty, I am not motivated to return if that is how the owner treats people when there are so many other taco places to choose from. Prices were reasonable. A small hole-in-the-wall restaurant near Denio's, it has 4 small tables inside plua tables on their front outdoor covered patio. There is a parking lot behind that fits about 5 cars or there's some street parking availallble. read more

This place is so good. Birria is delicious. Tracks are great and location is awesome. Perfect way to end my day at Denios. The seating is nice if you get a table outside, which there's only about 4. Inside is one table or so. I wish the place had more seating area, but it is what it is. The food is great! read more

El Abajeño has the absolute best tacos around! Highly recommend-we haven't found anyone that tops this.

Great fish tacos, will try the shrimp tacos next. Not fancy but super friendly staff, clean, good prices and great food. We are regulars.

BEST birria tacos ever. Been coming here since they were a small taco truck. That lady carol in the reviews doesn't know what she's talking about but they are bomb. read more

Best Birria tacos, really good food and atmosphere, definitely will recommend this place

Stop by and got an assortment of tacos. Previous reviews were right on the Birria is very good. The shrimp taco was 2nd. Least favorite was the fish. We also got a burrito. They make them short and fat here. It was a little awkward to eat. Once I bit in to it ... it couldn't be held. I balanced the styrofoam container on my chest and stood the burrito up on it. Then it was manageable and good. The large slices of fresh avocado really made it for me. read more

You don't have to wait for the weekend to enjoy deliicous tacos near Denio's Farmer's Market in Roseville, as El Abajeño Tacos is open six days a week - closed Monday - and serves amazing tacos, at a very reasonable price. When it comes to placing your order, El Abajeño Tacos takes a very different approach than most Mexican restaurants. You make your selection from the menu, posted above the kitchen, and turn around to a gentleman who is setting near the soft drink cooler, who you pay, and in return, he'll give you a number. He also answers the phone, as the restaurant does a brisk take-out business. The indoor dining room is super tiny, so most diners prefer to enjoy their meals outside, on the comfortable, covered patio in front of the entrance. You can enjoy your tacos and watch the activity of Atkinson Street, which can be quite lively on weekends. I went with "Tacos de Birria," I absolutely LOVE birria, so I ordered three of them; I probably cold eat six! At $1.85 each, I can afford to order more than one taco! The tacos start with a single toasted, regular size corn tortilla. Your taco is topped with the meat of your choosing - my choice was birria, which is stewed goat meat - along with diced white onion and fresh cilantro. The tacos are very basic, but they're amazingly delicious! Each taco comes with a small slice of fresh lime, just like in Mexico, so you can squeeze fresh lime juice on your taco to enhance the flavor. Muy sabroso! Birria has a reputation of being spicy, and it really isn't, as it's just plain flavorful. Like other Mexican restaurants, El Abajeño Tacos makes birria in a large pot, which results in a juicy, tender, flavorful cut of goat meat. In Mexico, birria is served as a stew, a main dish entree, or as a topping for tacos, such as I enjoyed today. The birria I enjoyed on my tacos was flavorful, not at all spicy, juicy, and delicious. If you love birria, you'll love these tacos! The tacos are delicious, the outdoor dining is comfortable, the staff is friendly, and the price is right. When you're in the mood for delicious tacos, pay a visit to El Abajeño Tacos, located on Atkinson Street, in Roseville. read more

Best small taco shop in Roseville. $1.70 large street tacos. Birria and fish tacos a must. Only place is know that specialized in birria. They have asada cabeza and abodaba too but it's not as good as the birria and seafood. Always crowded on the weekends because of Denios. Great salsa green one is best red one is smoky but hotttt. Can't beat the price and service. read more

AWESOME little spot for tacos. This place is small but packs a big punch with the flavors. Their marinated meats are so tender and flavorful and delicious, WOW! My bf and I passed over Jimboys (yeah we like grease but not today) and came here after hitting up Denio's for a few hours. We were famished (okay I was) after finding new nominations for www.peopleofdenios.com. What a great place! Friendly people, FAST service, and hot tasty tacos. Also they keep bottled coca cola which makes my bf seriously happy. I tried birria (goat) for the first time and it was really good (it had a spice that made me think of cinnamon almost but it wasn't that... and the guy when asked sheepishly said, "Can't tell you, it's a secret!") The fish and shrimp tacos were incredibly fresh and light even with the mayo sauce. Right amount of crispy peppery batter too, yum! They had random sized jars of chile sauce out on the tables and I LOVE homemade salsa in hole-in-the-wall places. The combo of smoky and spicy, gah! So yeah... go to the auction and have 3 funfilled hours looking at other people's crap. Then go get tacos here when you want some really good food. read more

It's really delicious! I suggest the Birria,($6.49) it was tasty.. Juicy and rich in flavor. Tacos are great and only $1.35. What have you got to lose? You park, go in, order, pay, sit down, they give you the food. Bottled drinks are available. They're right by Denio's. read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant in Roseville. This place is amazing and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend

Little corner spot taqueria across the street from a Jimboy's tacos. After going to Denio's I noticed this place and thought I'd give it a try..this spot is family owned and its a husband&wife who run it. They were extremely friendly and the food isnt like the greatest thing ever or to die for but I do appreciate it is good & reminds me of a "home cooked" mexican meal. I had gotten up to pay for another drink & the lady told me to just keep eating and she would charge me until I was done eating so I wouldnt have to touch the cash with my hands. I definitely recommend this little place for good mexican food+ excellent customer service. read more

This is a mom and pop shop with really great food. Limited seating but I am always busy and take it to go anyways. I'd recommend taking it to go and eating in your car. It is a really small hole in the wall place but the closest authentic Mexican food within a 15 mile radius from me. The sweet customer service from the owners beats what they lack as far as limited spacing. I love supporting local shops and will continue to do so. Thank you for always satisfying my cravings! read more

Ordered a couple of each tacos. Was disappointed at the meat how dry or oily it is[depending on the meat]. We all have different taste buds which is understandable. But this was a NO for me. My husband called the owner to inform him the asada was very dry not even putting lime nor salsa helped. The tomatoes on the fish taco were not fresh from today. To have him him rudely say don't ever eat here again. I have the best tacos and serve quality. If that's quality I have never had any "quality tacos" before then. read more

Very rude lady up front right when I walked in she was rude! Definitely don't go there and the food taste like shit not authentic at all

I don't want tot give it away, but i have to! Fantastic crispy tacos. Flautas, second to none!

This is the kind of Mexican food I've been looking for! The rice reminds me of my moms (RIP) and the beans are just like my grandmas (RIP) I miss them both so much. So eating here gives me comfort. My favorite dish is the green chili chicken enchiladas the chicken is so flavorful and moist. I do not live in town so any chance I get I make a trip here with the family. It is very small establishment so seating is very limited. I believe it's cash only. Highly recommend read more

so good food! very delicious and flavorful! great owner very welcoming. i very recommend.

Doesn't look like a good spot from the outside but the tacos are definitely good. We ordered the steak( carne asada) tacos and it was a bit dry & the pork marinated tacos were absolutely delicious. The salsa is my favorite. The only thing I didn't like about it was the older lady taking my order at the register was rude. Since it was my first time, and new in town I didn't know the menu well.. that's why I'm giving this place 3 stars because of the rude service I received for it being my first time there .. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful service. Really enjoyed having lunch there with my wife. Hope you come back again.

I have been going to this restaurant since I was 6 years old and nothing comes close to their asada tacos or burritos!! They are the friendliest small business I've ever been to and I know I will always be satisfied when I eat here. Affordable prices and great food! Most authentic Mexican food you can get in Roseville. read more

We had the crispy chicken and beef tacos. There was a sauce with lettuce on top- pure delicious! Very reasonably priced.

So I tried this place again and it's not for me. Fish taco- 3.5 stars and the first time it was right up there with the best I've had but this time I would say there just OK. Adobada taco- 3 stars and the spice was not to my liking, but it's different everywhere so this maybe a personal preference. Steak taco- 2.8 stars and nobody comments on the steak so I'm thinking my first time wasn't just an off day. Steak super burrito- 3 stars and had the same meat but certain bites with some of the other stuff tasting good made this an ok burrito. read more

I do not understand how this place has 4 stars let alone 3. Food is horrible, service sucks and seating is definitely not worth it. I really feel that the only reason people come here is because it's what's closest to denios after walking you get hungry. We had to wait near the trash cans, then sit and eat next to it, on the other side is the bathroom. It is disgusting in there. Didn't even eat my food I was so grossed out. I will never eat here again. read more
