    Chorizo breakfast burrito
    Alexis A.

    The breakfast burrito grease was INSANE! The burrito was DRIPPING in greasey red oil from the chorizo. Idk who they are trying to kill but DO NOT eat their chorizo burritos. This could legit send anyone into a coma. Not to mention I had to clean all of this up bc it was DRIPPING in my car and floor.

    Very clean, fast and affordable. I am vegan so these are not many choices without animal products. They do have fresh made to order juices. I got a veggie burrito which had whole beans and rice was quite good when pared with their variety of salsas.

    Tacos $1.99 on Sunday and Tuesday a lot of meats!

    Cali Burrito
    T T.

    The Cali Burrito is huge and absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and super satisfying. Pro tip: don't skip the red sauce from the salsa bar. It takes everything to the next level!

    This is a big portion for an affordable price and it tasted really good. The only thing is I asked for red salsa and they gave me green, other than that Definitely go here. Food is amazing and it's open 24 seven and they serve breakfast burritos all day.

    Threw it away I can't even open it I am just so disgusted.

    As a Reno native we often travel to visit friends in the Bay Area so we like trying different…read morerestaurants along the way and this last time we stopped at this hole in the wall Mexican restaurant, Mezcalito Oaxacan Cuisine. Since every state in Mexico cooks staples differently we were curious to try Oaxacan Cuisine. The restaurant feels like a restaurant in Mexico, we sat in the second back room and we felt like we were transported to a restaurant town in Mexico. The server was great, nice and friendly and the food was amazing! I ordered their Oaxacan Style Ceviche and it was so good! It came out in a molcajete style plate, and it looked small, however it wasn't, the portion was generous! Our family member ordered the pozole and they shared it was also delicious. (We didn't try it because we don't eat poultry but it smelled so good). Overall great stop, and we will be stopping by when we're back in the Rocklin area.

    Fish tacos so goooood! [Rocklin CA]…read more So happy that my friend, Belinda, suggested this place when I mentioned that I was craving fish tacos. I ordered from their Mezcalito Specials menu (green) and chose the Baja Fish Tacos ($18). I like the part that it came with rice and black beans. It included two fish tacos. Since I couldn't decide between grilled or fried I got one of each. The fish were beer battered with cabbage, mango, pico, avocado | opted out of the cilantro and onion | Chipotle Aioli on the side just in case I found it too spicy for my taste. It turned out that it added to wonderful flavors on the tacos. Unfortunately, the chips and salsa was not complimentary. Purchase separately. The servers were friendly and welcoming and it made for a pleasant first time experience! There are two dining sections so don't fret when you see the dining area full as you enter the restaurant. There is also a picnic bench under covered roof outside patio dining. You won't be disappointed! No wonder they are at almost perfect 5-stars in Yelp. Instagram: @mezcalitorocklin Review #4055

The food, the burrito mojado with diabla salsa is still off the hook amazing! The chile relleno remains in my opinion the best available in Placer County! And the enchiladas are simply delicious. The place has changed a bit over the years, now having an ice cream bar in addition to the salsa and beverage bar that's been there as long as I can remember. The very tasteful decor is still in place creating a pleasant environment to dine in, and the dining room offers plenty of space for parties of all sizes. The staff people that I always recognized weren't there during my last visit, but the folks working seemed to do a good job. I'm sure we'll be back; and it definitely won't be a long time before we return!

It comes with 2 tacos, consome, rice and beans. The perfect amount of food! Delish! While dining in, we were checked on several times by different employees. Everyone was super nice. 10/10 recommend.

The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping by for a meal, drinks, or both, you really can't go wrong. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is Alex. He is an amazing mixologist and always goes above and beyond with his drinks. Every cocktail l've tried has been pertectly crafted, creative, and packed with flavor. If you're looking for recommendations, trust Alex he never disappoints. It's clear he takes pride in what he does, and it definitely shows in every drink he serves. The atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and perfect for a night out with friends, family, or even a casual date night. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel like a valued customer. It's not often you find a place that consistently delivers great food, outstanding drinks, and excellent service, but Don Q's Cantina does exactly that. This is easily one of my favorite local restaurants, and I highly recommend stopping by if you haven't already. I'll definitely be back again and again.

One area is first come first serve, wait service with a few tables and bar seats Popular during happy hour! Good luck! The other section is like cafeteria style. Order at counter, find a seat, and food is delivered to you. The salsa is a walk up salad bar and chips are free. The chips are good. Skinny margaritas we ordered were good! Food is presented well and is tasty. The only two problems, 1. Food or salsas leave you desperate for water hours after eating. Maybe my salt intake has changed but they must use a lot of salt! You can't taste it but it's there. So thirsty! 2. You leave there smelling like the food. Not much you can do since it's a cafeteria style eatery. It's not a bad thing, but I hate that! Haha Not much air conditioning inside so there's that too! I forgot to take pictures but we enjoyed our meal.

Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas.

I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!
