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.

Menu

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!
Julius M.

Finally been waiting for something like this in our area and 24hrs woohooo! Def going back to try more.

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!

Brianna B.

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.

The restaurant is not very large ~ one small-ish main room and an adjacent enclosed patio. Plus a few picnic tables under a shady canopy out front. We were seated out in the enclosed patio area where it seems they've tried to do some limited decorating. Service was friendly but a little on the slow side, although our food came out fairly quickly after we ordered. I got the super burrito and it was huge. Stuffed full of all the good stuff and grilled on one side. Simple but good, although it could have had the ingredients better mixed inside. (Ever read the hilarious blog post about the burrito that was rolled like a roll of Lifesavers? Oh, here's the rice. Next up, pico. Then beans. And here's the chicken. There is guac in here!) The hubby got the cheese chile relleno with mole, beans and a pyramid of rice. All delicious. Oh, and the chips were delightfully crispy and seemed super fresh and the two salsas were pretty tasty, as well. Prices were very fair, too! Good rec by our friends. I'd definitely go back, maybe for pick-up.

Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food--people were going back for seconds and even thirds! Beyond the food, the service was outstanding.

If you're planning a graduation party, birthday celebration, family gathering, or any special event, I highly recommend Taqueria La Bonita.

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.

Initial thought was it was a little small, but it was very filling and flavorful. I had the chili verde as a protein and it was so tender. Very satisfying. The bar side of the restaurant is typically busy, but spacious. Lots of conversation but you can still enjoy your own conversation.

We talked to our friends and agreed that 6pm would be a good time to meet for dinner. My girlfriend called and they didnt' have any reservations available for 6pm.I called around Noon to see if we talked to someone else we could make a reservation at 6pm. They were very polite over the phone. The didn't have any reservations at 6pm, but they had a table for 4 at 6:30 pm if we didn't mind sitting outside. I took the reservation with the hopes we could get seated earlier. Their outside and inside dining rooms are about the same size. We arrived at 6pm hoping to get seated early and by 6:05pm the entire party was here and we were seated 10 minutes later at 6:15pm. We were seated a the first table out the side door against the wall. This worked great at I was able to put my package on the grown next to the wall, it was out of the way, but I could still see it so I didn't forget it. The fans were on over all the outside tables but ours. It was cool/warm enough to be comfortable in slacks and a T-shirt. No sweater was needed and I wasn't sweating either. The ice water was really nice. Soon as we were seated they laid us out menus. Shortly after chips, salsa, and bean dip were delivered. Then after a little bit the waters arrived. Our server asked for our drink orders while we looked at the menus. I ordered the Chile Relleno: Battered poblano chile stuffed with Jack cheese and red chile pork sitting atop black bean puree and serrano salsa. Topped with slaw and queso cotija. It was very tasty, but lacked cheese. I did not enjoy melty jack cheese oozing out of the pepper and that's the whole reason I ordered this dish. Tower Cafe in Sacramento makes it right. Their Chile oozes with melty jack cheese. The black bean purée must have melded into the Salas as I didn't see or taste it. It was topped with slaw that I enjoyed. It gave the dish a little crunchy. The red chili pork was very tender and I didn't notice any fat. I would not order this again My husband had the Salmon Machamantel Atlantic salmon, mole manchamantel, grilled broccolini, jicama slaw. I found the salmon to be very pleasant. It didn't taste fishy at all and I'm very sensitive to fish. The Mole sauce was non descriptive. The broccolini was cooked to perfection, not too cooked that it was limp and not undercooked so it's too firm. He would order it again. Cilantro Rice- All the meals came with the rice and it was very tasty. It was kind of odd that it was on a separate plate, but it made sense as there wan't room on our dinner plates. Presentation was lacking. We shared the Caesar Salad. It was very tasty, but awkward to eat as the pieces of lettuce were huge. They served us the entire leaf. Bathrooms- It was a small bathroom with only two stalls. If you need to wait it would be better to wait outside like I did. It was a bit awkward. The bathroom was well supplied and pretty clean. Flushing is an issue. The toilet doesn't have a lot of flushing power and it took my 3 flushes to get the seat covers to go down and not leave debris. Parking: We parked near Pet Food Express, which was close to the restaurant. It looked tight, but after we drove around we found lots of spots at the back of the lot. There is no close parking spots so if you have a hard time walking this can be an issue. Their downfall, the flies. There were so many flies swarming us that it was uncomfortable. I hope the other patrons were't dealing with the gigantic flies that were swarming our table and landing on our table and food. I searched other reviews and I'm not the only one who was swarmed by flies. Ambiance. It was ok, the music was loud and it was hard to hear each other as we chatted and caught up. I think there is more ambiance inside with the decor.

We had pitchers of margaritas for the table, and I found that they were watery. I did not enjoy mine, so I stuck with water. My water glass was full the whole time, so I was grateful for that. I ordered the chicken fajitas. The chicken was prepared and seasoned perfectly. It was really good. My platter had mostly onions and a few peppers, so that was disappointing. I was missing the zucchini and guacamole; I think that would have added to the overall flavor. The corn tortillas were stale, so that was yuck. I have read that they are homemade (?) If they were homemade, ours were made the day before. They were definitely not fresh. People in our group ordered all kinds of entrees, including tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, and seemed to enjoy everything. Some enjoyed the fried ice cream and flan for dessert, too. Again, this is a great place for a group. If you are looking for good food, I might keep looking.

Complimentary corn tortilla chips, salsa, and refried bean dip with cheese. I loved the REFRIED BEAN DIP! I ordered the Steak a la Chicana. I didn't read or listen carefully enough that the skirt steak with sauteed onions and bell peppers are covered in Spanish sauce. The sauce is actually quite tasty with a little kick. I used it and the salsa to flavor the black beans. However, I really just wanted grilled steak. I should have ordered steak fajitas, a grilled steak burrito or quesadilla, or a carne asada plate. The Steak a la Chicana was a generous portion, which is definitely 2 meals for me. Cilantro rice wasn't anything special. The SWEET CORN TAMALITO is yummy comfort. Choice of beans: refried beans, black beans, or pinto beans. I suspect refried beans is the tastiest option. El Tapatio would be a great gathering place for friends and family. It's located on Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights near See's Candies and other restaurants.
