    Taco Tuesday special on tacos. $2.00 on carne asada. $1.50 on el pastor and chicken taco. Good value for your buck. The parking lot is a little crazy. This restaurant is right off of Colusa Highway so it's a quick turn off from a busy highway. They have a very clean dining area and offer free chips and salsa for dine in.

    I would rate it overall 8/10 The carne asada fries were delicious the guacamole wasn't my favorite. Horchata is okay a little watered down but not bad. The redbull drink was good and refreshing!

    Came in because we were hungry and heard that this place had just opened up. It is a good little spot but has very limited parking and if the drive thru is lined up you better not be in a rush to get out. Inside it is bright and clean. We were welcomed right away. They have a little salsa/condiment area and chips to grab. They are open 24 hours and serve breakfast all day. The food was all good, flavorful, and good amount of meat for the price. I will say that even though the tacos were full of meat, it was a little on the dry side. They also have flavored drinks you can get as well. You go order and have a seat and go back up to get you food when the buzzer goes off. Not a bad place to go to.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at El Forastero. I ordered the carne asada fries, and frankly, the quality is just not there. You can see how unappealing it looks in image. To make matters worse, the dish was incredibly salty, making it nearly impossible to enjoy. For $17.55, as shown in image, this is not worth the price. You can easily go to other local restaurants that offer the same menu items with much better quality and much better pricing. I definitely won't be returning. Spanish Estoy extremadamente decepcionado con mi experiencia en El Forastero. Pedí las patatas fritas de carne asada y, francamente, la calidad no está ahí. Puedes ver lo poco atractivo que se ve en la imagen. Para empeorar las cosas, el plato estaba increíblemente salado, lo que hacía casi imposible disfrutarlo. Por 17,55 dólares, como se muestra en la imagen, esto no vale la pena el precio. Puedes ir fácilmente a otros restaurantes locales que ofrecen los mismos elementos del menú con mucha mejor calidad y precios mucho mejores. Definitivamente no volveré.

    Not so super nachos

    Went in here to see what all the hype was about. Well, it was just that..... hype. Social media "foodies" hyping up a mediocre (at best) restaurant as if it's some prestige temple of deliciousness. Wrong! Customer service was meh. And apparently couldn't understand my order. I ordered 3 chicken tacos and 3 carne asada tacos and all 6 with cheese. A super nachos and super burrito (was told there was no onions in it). Received 6 chicken tacos not 3 and 3, the cheese was thrown on there as an afterthought, and chicken was cold. Super nachos and super burrito? Nothing super about them. Onions in my burrito. Very. Little bit of chicken and had a weird taste. Nachos, meat was cold, cheese not melted and cold, carne asada looked and tasted like it had been sitting all day. Taco Bell and Jimboys smack harder than this place. Unfortunately I believed the buzz. But this was a one and done for me. Not to mention it was over $62 for this order. Lesson learned. Ambiance was alright. At least thy had a lady constantly cleaning the dining room.

    I was very happy to see this place to open. As it's 24 hours and has California burritos and fries. I came here the third day it was open all hungover but wanted it so bad. I came to order my man the chili verde plate. But I'm on a keto diet so I was going to order the carne asada fries without the fries and I mentioned that to the worker but I felt stupid. She seemed alil confused so I said what would u recommend where I don't get the fries for a resaonable price... omg . She offered the street tacos and said she would put no tortillas . That it will come with cheese, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. I said yes right away .. I say I'll get 4 tacos to make it a good quantity. I trusted the process and went home to see the food... I was soo impressed with my meal!!!! Omg! 100% will go back. Especially knowing they know what I'm talking about. And my man loved the chili verde! Btw my man ordered the cucumber Agua Fresca and he said it was soo refreshing and amazing. The 24 hour signs outside the building was a relief to see haha especially working late. We can't wait to go again and make this our main place to go

    Visited June 22 2026. See my receipt as always…read more First time here and what a great Mexican restaurant! Although no outside seating for pups but the inside is really big! I met the owner JUAN and he said they have been in business for 58 years! I certainly can see why! I ordered the 2 beef enchiladas with rice and beans. It also came with soup and warm fresh tortillas. Complimentary chips and salsa. Both the ground beef and shredded beef enchiladas were tasty! I tried a few bites of everything and it was delicious! The chicken soup was flavorful with corn. The red salsa was mild but the green salsa was awesome because it was spicy and tasty! YUM! They have a full bar and special margaritas. I had a nice chilled chardonnay with lunch. They also have a lady near the front making fresh tortillas. It was a really great experience with quick service and friendly employees ! Thank you Juan and Megan for superior service. I will be back! Btw...I was able to watch Argentina play while I was eating. BONUS!

The perfect plate that a friend ordered had a little bit of everything, even a salad that wasn't pictured. I always enjoy the taquitos when I come here. Good Mexican food and not to forget the homemade tortillas.

    This place is a hidden gem, the location isn't the best however the food is outstanding …read more The aguachile trio was absolutely delicious! It is a little on the pricey side, but the portion, freshness, and flavor made it worth it. I normally always go for the traditional green aguachile, but surprisingly the red sauce ended up being my favorite! It definitely has some serious heat, so be prepared if you're sensitive to spice. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and everything tasted super fresh. The owner was also our server and was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. Great food and great service -- this place has become a go- to for me !

    Visited August 21 2026. See my receipt…read more I finally made it here and am so glad I did! It is located in Yuba City ( a few doors down from Surf Thru). It is very clean inside with plenty of seating. I ordered the 2 item combo which was carne asada enchilada and a chicken tamale. It came with rice and beans. I had them split the tamale with half red and half green sauce. Very delicious! Chicken was moist and tender. The enchilada was good too with alot of flavor! I liked that they had complimentary chips and different salsas. I like it spicy! They also have beer and sodas available. I am obsessed with molcahete dishes ( served in an urn type bowl) but they are hard to travel with because they are very hot! Love their menu! The owner...ROSA.. was very warm and friendly! In fact all the employees were very kind! Btw...They roast their jalepenos and only use the freshest tomatoes! It was a Great experience and I will DEFINITELY be back! Ps..they were voted number 1 in 2025..see my picture!

    Visited June 13 2026. See my receipt as always…read more Many friends told me to try this place in Yuba City and I am glad I did! It's away from most businesses in an upscale residential street. They open at 11am and there was people already waiting to get in. Always a good sign! I ordered the two item lunch and chose beef and chicken enchiladas. It came with rice and beans. All very good! Complimentary chips and salsa. The salsas were screaming! Fresh and the green salsa made my eyes water! Love it! This place has indoor and covered outside seating. Dog friendly! They also have another space in the back for events and more with another full bar ( 2 full bars total). They have bar seating and regular seating. Good for groups! Plenty of parking. What was unusual is they have an expansive bathroom..did not expect that. The waiter said they have live music as well! Overall a great experience with leftovers! Ps. Plenty of parking!

It wasn't a quiet night and we had multiple people check on us. These folks can train others in customer service. Maria was our waitress and she really was the top notch icing on the cake The ambiance is traditional without being gaudy. The chairs are super cool! I highly recommend this restaurant.
