What an incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, Luis and his team made us feel genuinely welcome, and you can tell everyone there takes real pride in what they do--and they do it to perfection. The Molcajete Mixto was hands down the best I've ever had--loaded with incredibly tender ribeye, perfectly seasoned chicken, flavorful chorizo and delicate shrimp, all sizzling in a rich, flavorful sauce. The tacos de camarón are to die for: perfectly beer-battered shrimp drizzled with smoky chipotle, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and bursting with flavor. Easily the best shrimp taco I've ever had. And the churros were such a fun presentation--four warm, crisp churros arranged like a little star around a dollop of silky custard in the center for dipping. The perfect sweet finish. Huge thanks to Luis and the crew for such amazing hospitality. If you're in the area, it's a must! 100/10 recommend!!! read more

If you are looking for the best tacos in Vallejo, El Tesoro Mazatlán is a mandatory stop. While they are famous for their mariscos (seafood) and Mazatlán-style shrimp dishes, their street tacos are the local gold standard. The Food As you can see from the photo, the presentation is stunning--yes, those are fresh orange slices and a purple orchid, making "street food" feel like a fine-dining experience. * The Tacos: Served on double corn tortillas, the meats are juicy and perfectly seasoned. The Carne Asada has that authentic char, while the Al Pastor offers the perfect balance of savory and spice. * The Toppings: They don't skimp. You get a generous heap of fresh cilantro and onions, with crisp lime wedges to cut through the richness. * Pro Tip: Don't skip the chips! They are served warm with a house-made salsa that has just the right amount of kick. The Vibe & Service The atmosphere inside is vibrant, clean, and filled with colorful Mexican artwork. The service is famously friendly--don't be surprised if you're treated to a complimentary churro at the end of your meal. It's that extra touch of hospitality that makes this a standout Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area. read more

El Tesoro Mazatlan - Street Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

this has to be one of the best places i've been to in a while. i cannot express how amazing the service was. shout out to our servers Jorge and Roberto. always coming by to pick up plates, refill our drinks and make sure we had everything we needed. the food was also very good, tacos were huge and they weren't stingy with their portions. we tried the 3 ceviche's which was my personal favorite. we had the fish and shrimp tacos as well as the sopes. the environment was also very welcoming with good music and nice decorations. overall one of the best experiences i've had in a while and will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu :) read more

I was really happy eating this!! Got a Lengua breakfast burrito delivered via DoorDash, about $30 It did give me 3ish meals? My niece had some, I had it two other times. Lengua wasn't gamey, it was tender and plentiful. Rice was fine but soft, tortilla had adequate flavor, French fries didn't match the what DoorDash menu said (something like roasted potatoes lol), eggs and cheese and guacamole worked well together. I'd give it 5 stars if the tortilla was more buttery/flavored! When the burrito was unwrapped, it was pretty soggy and wet likely from the condensation. I dried it and then air fried and it was yummy I'd def order again!!! read more

El Tesoro Mazatlan - Lengua breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Came in a on weekday night and they were open late. Parking can be a pain next to a bar, but once inside staff is very attentive and friendly. There's lots of decorations inside and music playing on the flat screen. We also got free churros for dining in. There's a salsa bar with lots of options. You can also pay about $5 for refillable horchata. Food was delicious with huge portions. I got the steak and shrimp fajitas, and it could easily be shared with another person. Corn or flour tortillas as choices, and come in warmers. The shrimp were big, steak seasoned, lots of onions. Delicious! Will be back to try other food, but make sure you come with an empty stomach! read more

Very generous portions!! The fish taco is massive with a delicious and tender tortilla. The beans are well seasoned and I love having the beans with the warm chips.

Highly recommend this spot! read more

Jesus is racist you can tell by many reasons because I am not Hispanic he treated me differently from the Hispanic customers that came in, I ordered almost $400 worth of food the containers were not full they were halfway, I wanted to speak with the manager. He acted like they had no number for him or no way to reach him, he just wanted me out of there I wasn't being rude at any moment, then later, as my kids and I were eating the tacos. My daughter almost choked on a very hard looks like melted plastic thing, I reached out to them and they did not care! I know this was intentional by Jesus and his workers because the way they acted so irritated with me and the way they were looking at me when I came in I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome read more

My friend and I came here before going to six flags and there wasn't anybody there. I got the super burrito with steak and my friend got the enchiladas rojas. We were started off with compliment chips. There's a salsa bar. The red salsa tasted weird like it was expired. The burrito was huge and had tons of meat so it was very filling. We got complimentary churros too. Service was great. read more

Absolutely amazing - Food was great! I ordered pozole - not greasy, perfect amount of spice, and a good amount of meat. I can't recall the second food item but it was yummy - Very rare find and has been such a struggle but I have finally found a place that has a bomb Michelada! Perfectly balanced mixture of beer & sauce. - Service was absolutely amazing! I felt very comfortable and at home. Super attentive, willing to adjust and substitute. They truly do make it happen and value customer satisfaction - Ambiance was giving fun, clean and authentic lol I definitely think this place has to be a lot busier during after work hours or weekends. I would love to come back during dinner time since we did come in on an early Monday morning. I will be returning - also the dessert menu? If you're not already stuffed.. try the Churros! You will not be disappointed read more

Wow oh wow! If you're looking for a SOLID place to satisfy your Mexican food craving, then hop in your car and tell your phone to direct you to here! The SUPER SHRIMP BURRITO is ON POINT with the size and fillings (rice, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and big pieces of perfectly cooked shrimp). I was eating while dancing! Hahaha To elevate the burrito or customize it exactly to your taste, head to their SALSA BAR with a selection of different tasty salsas ranging in heat level, pickled items such as onions, carrots, and jalapeños, chopped cilantro, chopped cucumbers, and lemons. The ASADA TACOS are filling! They are street taco size but they top it off with a good mound of moist and perfectly seasoned meat. Let's say, you can make 2 tacos out of one. The CEVICHE DE CAMARON is summer on a plate! Fresh and citrusy. In contrast to other places, they give a good amount to top 3-5 tostadas! The Churros??? DO NOT PASS ON THIS! SAVE ROOM! They are fresh, hot, and rolled in cinnamon sugar! Now on to the best parts besides the food! First, the CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TOP NOTCH! Immediately after I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with friendly smiles. High fives to Michael and Jorge who were super attentive and helpful. I never had to look for someone for a refill or to clear the table of emptied plates. Second, the place itself is clean and the decor is colorful and vibrant. read more

My friend and I were looking for a place to meet up that was about halfway from SF and Sacramento, so we chose Vallejo :) This place had amazing reviews and plenty of veggie options. My friend got their chile-verde and I got a cheese enchilada plate with salsa verde. I saw that their churro plate got plenty of reviews, so I ordered one for my friend and I to share. They also gave us a complimentary order on the house :) Everything was lovely. However, it was the service that my friend and I fell in love with. The two gentlemen that primarily worked the restaurant made sure my friend and I were comfortable from the second that we arrived and sat down to when we left. They made sure our table was cleared in a timely manner in between entrees and dessert, and also helped pack our leftovers in such a sweet way where they were already ahead of us before we even asked :) One of the gentlemen even refilled my friend's soft drink from the dispenser machine, even though he really didn't need to. Just a warm and cozy spot to hang out with yummy food and amazing service, with lovely, eye-catching art on the walls. I'm a sucker for the Dia De Los Muertos art/paintings and how lovely the women look portrayed in different colors and styles. The parking can be challenging in their small lot out front but there is plenty on the streets nearby if you're willing to walk a couple minutes. Would definitely go back if I'm in the Vallejo area! read more

Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurant experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there. The service was excellent--attentive without being overbearing--and the portions were generous to say the least. Every dish that came out was packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and clearly made with care. This is the kind of food that makes you pause after the first bite and say, wow. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting--perfect whether you're out with family, friends, or on a date. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail. This place checks every box. Incredible food, outstanding service, generous portions, and a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere.

The food was nothing short of epic: bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and portions that leave you satisfied and happy. You don't find places like this often, where the food is amazing and the people make you feel like family.

I just got back from lunch here and couldn't sit down to write a review fast enough. I'm not sure if our server was also the owner, I forgot to ask, but ultimately it doesn't matter. He was a gem. I ordered the taco salad and asked if I should get pastor or carnitas, and he suggested half and half. Both were so good. The pastor wasn't overly greasy like most of them can be. And a nice couple chunks of pineapple. Super fire. My friend got the carne asada plate and said it was really good too. The salsa bar is an awesome touch. And then, our server brought out their famous churros for us to try on the house. Such an awesome experience and I will absolutely be calling this my top three favorite mexican spots in the V. read more

After an event at the Solano fairgrounds I googled Mexican food near me and this restaurant was 8 miles away in the right direction. How lucky for me because my experience here was absolutely 5 stars. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I almost didn't order the shrimp taco because they are breaded but I'm so glad I did. They were addictively good. The beer batter is mouth watering and incredibly flavorful. I loved the shrimp taco so much I got more to go. I will remember this place for the next time I'm in the area. read more

I ordered the posole for my first time there. I was disappointed. At first, I was happy because they had huge chunks of pork, but there was so much fat on it that I had to pick it all off to eat what was left. It should've been trimmed so much better. The flavor was good, but my best friend makes the best posole ever so compared to hers this soup was lacking. It needed more hominy . It definitely needed more stuff for the top. I got lettuce and that isn't in any pozole I have ever had. They usually have shredded cabbage for crunch and texture. I don't think I have ever had lettuce with pozole. I would not order that again. I ordered the super burrito to eat the following night. I fared better with this one. It wasn't long, but it was fat and it had great flavor. I asked for no rice and extra beans and boy I won't do that again. I had beans and juice falling out everywhere but that was on me. The burrito was great and I would definitely get that again. overall El Tesoro is good. They're great for Super burritos just don't get the posole. read more

DO NOT order delivery from this place. I have always enjoyed the food in shop, but every time I order delivery there is something jacked up, like they don't really want to do delivery orders. I keep forgetting that this is a bad place for delivery. They've messed up my order every time I've ordered, you would think I'd learn. Today, they decided to give us ZERO salsas with our order, even though I specifically asked for a variety of salsas. We got none. Who does that? I think this happened before. Definitely never ordering delivery from them again! El Pelayo and Linda Patrias are solid and much better delivery options. read more

I was unusually craving for carnitas last weekend. Since we were out anyway we decided to drop by El Tesoro. And thank goodness we did. I was so excited to see the variety of food they are serving. We ended up ordering fish and shrimp taco and of course the carnitas. They were all so good, flavorful and satisfying. Had I not been full from the heavy breakfast that we ate, I would've ordered more. The cashier was very helpful in giving suggestions and the staff seemed to be in high spirits. Needless to say we are definitely coming back to order other stuff from their menu. I didn't give 5 star because there was one time in the past when the shrimp used on the shrimp taco we ordered tasted a little "muddy". Must've been a bad batch of shrimp. Consistency will earn 5 stars! read more

Went here for dinner on Valentine's Day. Was a better meal than most fancy restaurants. We started off with the Tostada Mixta, I had Camarones a la Diabla and my wife had Shrimp Tacos. The Tostada Mixta had fish, shrimp and octopus, with Salsa Negra. The ceviche was enough to make about 4 tostadas. That was a meal in itself. The a la diabla sauce was probably the best that I've had, with a good portion of perfectly cooked shrimp. Don't usually think much of rice and beans but these were definitely made with some love. My wife enjoyed her shrimp tacos but prefers their fish tacos. We were stuffed, then they brought out their complimentary Churros (anytime you dine in). A perfect ending to dinner. Service was great. They are constantly checking up on you. Drinks are self serve but they'll still get you a refill if they see you running low. Highly recommend this place. read more

Si! all the reviews are correct. Was lucky enough to stop here after looking on Yelp for some taco shops in Vallejo. Everything is done well, the chips, the salsa, I tried Carne Asada, El Pastor store, and the Carnitas was top-notch,. The Carnitas had that little crisp on it nice balance of fat and meat. And everybody is also right about the service accompanied by smiles, some free chips because it was my first time, and a little bonus churro on my way out it's very clear why they have 1200 reviews. read more

As someone who's extremely picky about Mexican food--because I can make most of it at home--I don't give compliments lightly. But this place? Incredible. From the moment we walked in, it didn't feel like a typical restaurant--it felt like I was stepping into a relative's home. And that's the difference: hospitality over just good customer service. Yes, the food was fire--flavorful, comforting, and made with love--but it was the people that made the experience unforgettable. At one point, I accidentally spilled a little beer into the chips on our table. We didn't even think twice about it and kept munching, but the waiter had seen it happen. He walked over and asked, "Did something happen to your chips?" I said yes but assured him we were fine with them. He said, "No, no--I'll get you some fresh." And he did. That moment right there? That's hospitality. No request made, no fuss, just genuine care. Throughout our meal, it felt like everyone working there anticipated our needs before we even asked. That level of attention and kindness is rare. If you want to eat like you're at your tío or tía's house--with food that hits and vibes that feel like family--this is the spot. read more
