Got the #25 burrito, which is pretty much my go-to when I get food from here. Nothing special, just a good sized burrito that just tastes ok. You won't be raving about it, but you won't go away hungry either. read more

This would've been a 5 star review but the wait vs amount of business was wild, the food was good i got a carne asada burrito and a quesadilla, it was late night, there was only one car ahead of me but between his order and mine it took 25 mins to get up to the window and I still had to wait another 5 before I got my food. Will definitely come again but the night crew needs to speed it up a slight bit. read more

This place is highly priced, nowhere like 'Aldabwrto's Mexican food ',they got the best prices ...and don't charge for an extra ,only if you want extra added, but most comes with what's listed on the menu,El Forestero charged me $4.75 for extra bacon on my breakfast burrito,and still hardly had any bacon,so I just moved here ....so I been going to aldabertos now!!!the BEST!! read more

Reminds me of Adalberto's! Fresh food made to order, not too busy whether you dine in or go through the drive through. Fast, friendly service, and an overall inviting environment. Try the lengua (cow tongue) plate! read more

I cannot even fathom how this left the kitchen. I can't even imagine how they thought this extremely burnt fish was usable in a taco. Let's just take a gander and appreciate the "what the f*ck" read more

I've been trying some of the 24 hour Mexican drive-through's in the area. This one was not as successful. The service was quick, and the person at the window was friendly. I had the quesaBirria taco, and an order of chorizo fries. I also had an Horchata to drink. The Horchata was very good. Had a lot of good flavor to it, and was not watery at all. The chorizo fries were tasty, I did like the chorizo, but The serving was smaller than I've gotten at other drive-throughs in the area. Also, the fries were a bit soggy. The taco was the least successful. The taco itself was OK, and the meat was tender. But the broth that you dip it in? extremely greasy. A good Birria broth is like a consommé that you can drink. Just dipping the taco made the taco very greasy, and I couldn't drink the broth at all. Overall, prices were on par with some of the other Mexican drive-throughs I've been to. I'll stick with the places. I usually go to. Thanks anyway. read more

Too expensive! $20 for a combo w 2 tacos and rice and beans? Not even a drink!!That's why your mom is always saying "hay comida en la casa" Go to Olive Garden instead and treat yoself, they got the same wild prices and more ambience lol read more

Kinda expensive, but worth it!!!!! Love their platters and tacos. Sometimes the staff are kinda rude but the food is always consistent.

Neighborhood go to, you get allot of food for the price, and tasty. Most days are pretty busy, and not always greeted with a smile but always pleasant. Ambiance laid-back, open. Ma and pa feel. read more

Came here for lunch yesterday & was super excited to try some of their menu options. I see a lot of El Forasteros around town but just never had the opportunity to stop. One of my favorite things too about this location, is their drive-thru location. It makes the service quick & convince which I love. Looking at the menu, I was glad to see they had so much variety. From their combination meals, tacos, burritos, nachos, & desserts. I almost got a burrito but Im a big fan of birria so I decided to get 2 birria tacos & a magonada. It didn't take long at all for the food & the staff was very polite and friendly in the process. Also, love the extra sides that were added to my order w/ the salsa ( green, red) + limes. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

El Forastero - Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Mainly a drive through place, but we sat and had a meal. I had an adobado taco, which was pretty good and the carne asada taco, which was just ok. The plate came with rice and beans, both of which had no flavor. $15.95 for the plate. Too much cost for the quality. read more

$20 for a burrito and a drink ? Well not worth it , beans are salty taste from a can , asked for asada but it's chuck steak. 2 stars is fair

What happened to your rolled tacos? I just purchased two orders and I couldn't believe how skinny they were. They were basically all tortilla. They never used to be like this. They were much fatter and more delicious and crispy. Today's were tightly rolled skinny, and chewy. Not worth the money. read more

Bought a breakfast burrito with a hair rapped around the eggs. Never again! How do you not wear hair nets. Disgusting!

I was super surprised about this place, late night meal while I travel. I've had Mexican food in SF once before and was disgusted by what they called Mexican food and was pretty scared to even try it again up in NorCal. I'm from socal and also 20 mins away from Mexico and been to Mexico a bunch and I have access to some of the best taco shops and Mexican food so with this said this is def the closest taco shop to being like San Diego. I highly recommend this place if u want a taste of Mexico, it's not the best but it's the best up here, that's y the 4 stars and not 5. read more

Food is always great and they're not stingy with their food. Their street tacos are delicious

Had a late night order... NO REGRETS!! The carne asada street tacos are DELICIOUS!! Perfect portion of asada Tastes Fresh The meat is not fatty Cilantro is fresh Onions are diced nicely Limes were picked nicely *I ordered extra onions and cilantro with limes. Some of the best street tacos I've had in a long time!! The meat was seasoned perfectly where you can still taste the freshness of the toppings. They come with corn tortillas Cilantro, onions, and lime. They come with green salsa and red salsa in little containers on the side. I'll be back for these tacos!! Beverages: Ordered a lime jarritos You need a bottle opener for this soft drink. Super refreshing. Drink it chilled if you can! read more

Ordered carne fries tonight . Put nothing but cheese and sour cream on the fires. The fries were soo oily and greasy. WAAYYY too much cheese as well. Not that good in taste either . Gross read more

The lengua taco taste like I got the bottom of the pan with the lengua mean!! Burnt and hard to chew. The new location on Roseville Rd and Watt needs alot of work. Speaking Spanish the whole time I was there. Not good! read more

These people don't make their food fresh, the beans were tangy and sour the rice tasted old like a couple of days old the chicken in my enchilada tasted old nothing tasted fresh, they are going to make someone very sick if they keep on with their practices, we will never go back read more

20 dollars for a shrimp burrito is ridiculous... the burrito was good though but never coming back again

$16 for ONE burrito is crazy. Especially because the portion size is so small. Never coming again.

OK so I gave it another shot. I used to love this place and referred them to all my friends I used to go in there on Friday at 5 AM and buy breakfast burritos for my crew now the burritos are up to $14.45. With Tax -Not only are they way too expensive but they're half the size they used to be. read more

Every time we crave some late night food, we come here! It never disappoints! Prices are reasonable and food is yum! Good big ol portions! Love the chimichangas and tacos! There's always a bit of a wait time when we order about 5-15 minutes sometimes longer if there's a line. But it's totally worth it. I got the churro bowl thingy last time and it was good but they were cheap with the churros and add ons also for the price it wasn't worth it. read more

My California burrito was fantastic. Best I've had in a long time! Drive thru service was quick. Employee was nice.

Went there for a quick food late at night?l. When I ordered and it was time to pay, they added 3 extra dollars to the burrito saying the price was changed that day. No signs were posted to indicate change, though they claimed they did. they were unwilling to help with situation. Seemed very sketchy. read more

I come here all the time for their horchata and carne asada fries. Best around. Super convenient, close to home and they are 24/7. If you go after 12am, there are a lot of cars in drive-thru, mainly tipsy patrons so wait time may seem a bit longer but worth it. Especially after a few drinks, these munchies will rock your world. Or even if you just want great Mexican food... This is the spot! read more

I spent 29$ on 2 birria tacos, beans and rice with a milk shake and the guy wouldn't even give me one tortilla when I asked. I would have even paid for if he asked me too. He just straight up told me no. 29$ is crazy can literally get a bigger and better meal at real Mexican restaurant. Plus the meat was all fat and the consume is red. I will definitely go to adalbertos next time on the late night. I would be happy if this place just shut down. I was here before it was. Wouldn't bother me a bit if it was gone... read more

Waited in line for 20 minutes. If the food was good it wouldn't even be mentioned. The food is horrible. The young lady was nice once we got to the window. The chicken in the tacos had zero flavor. Do yourself a favor and don't waste time or $$ read more

My husband went to order 2 super burritos. Chicken & Carne asada. at first, they told him they're out of chicken & then suddenly said they have some cooking. When we brought the burritos home to eat, they barely had any meat in it. it was mainly beans & rice that the burrito itself couldn't even hold its shape. if you don't have enough meat then just don't scrape up whatever to make one. i ended up using the chips to scoop as if it was a dip, basically. I was very disappointed. it was one of our go to's but the last 2 visits was a disappointment. I should have just gone go Taco Bell. read more

I really hope to update my review. I stopped by because I haven't been here before, that simple. I ordered carnitas nachos. I really like positivity, so here is my take. They were incredibly fast and the chips were awesome! I think speed is the name of the game here. I'll be back to try what others are giving 5* reviews on. And...that's about it...
