    The menudo is the best I ever had!!
    Stef G.

    Me and my husband come coming here for the last three years we come multiple times a week. We've brought people here. The service is absolutely fantastic. It feels like home so does the food. It's amazing. I highly suggest coming here and giving you a shot.

    I have stopped by in Dixon I have pulled over in the parking lot. I had looked up this restaurant on yelp to look at the reviews. I was first hesitated, but then I called and asked spoke to the lady what was recommended pretty good I kept looking at the pictures and I kept seeing people going in and out so I figured this place was good. I will have to say that this place is so good that I will be going back with my wife. The food is excellent and delicious and Homemade the enchiladas were the best and the rice of the beans I give this place a10 definitely I found my Mexican spot when I'm in town thank you for your service. Thank you for your kindness. Keep up the good job. Don't listen to the negative comments on here. Maybe they did have some bad experience that's why I kinda hesitated, but obviously it was really packed today and I was by myself in this place was delicious. I can't stop talking about it.

    This review is mostly for the taco truck in Winters, which I see from their IG account is affiliated with this restaurant. We've passed this place so many times but it was never the right time to stop in until today. Hubby and I enjoyed a light 'to go' lunch of four simple tacos: two carnitas, adobada and chicken. All good and all for the reasonable price of $10. Salsa topping was on the edge of too spicy for me, but in the mouthful of other things was OK. Service was friendly and fast. We ate in our car and were quite content. PS We also enjoy the brick and mortar restaurant in Dixon!

    I always eyed this place when I went next door to Viva and been wanting to check it out. I finally stopped in and I'm glad I did. We were immediately greeted. We sat ourselves and we're given menus. The menu has a huge variety of food. From seafood to regular Mexican restaurant food. I ordered a Michelada and boy did it hit the spot! We were given chips and salsa. The chips seemed to be store bought and not the best. The salsa was good, but not sure if it was made in house, don't quote me on this. I ordered a Crispy chicken tacos and it was HUGE and delicious. Did I mention it was huge! I think I would have been okay with the taco and enchiladas, but my faatasss ordered the enchilada combo plate as well. Enchiladas were great. Next time, I need to ask for no sour cream. The rice was good and beans were mmm mm good. Roommate got bistec encaballado and it came with grilled cactus as well. Good smelled like it was charbroiled and I love that. We will definitely be back. This might be my new spot. Glad Dixon and the Vacaville are finally has a plate with GOOD Mexican good. Ya heard.

    Big, open, friendly space with modern touches to classic art. Attentive staff and decent happy hour options. The chips and salsa, carnitas tacos, and michelada were tasty. All other options looked a little too pricey. I hope one day they work up to a liquor license so you can order margaritas!

    Man alive what a dish!

    "Huge Portions, Reasonable Prices." Whilst I was waiting for the brewery to open down the street, I checked out this restaurant. They removed a lot of tables, for social distancing, so it's quite spacious inside. This is obviously a favorite place for the locals. I ordered the classic combination of two crispy tacos with steak. The portion is absolutely massive--It was way too much for me. I thought the tacos were tasty, especially smothered with sour cream. I'm pretty sure that makes them more healthy. I think next time I'll pass on the beans and rice. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa. This was okay, but I thought the chips were on the stale side. So all around, a pretty good visit. The servers were really friendly here as well.

    Friendly service. The staff were all smiles. Loved the decor and the energy in the place. The food was even better! Party of 4 and not a single complaint. Even tried to buy the mugs the coffee was served in. Can't wait to go back and try different dishes.

    In the little ole town of Winters, right on the main drag on route 128 which is Grant street, you will find a taco truck. You can't miss it because on the weekends when I drive by there is always a line of people. Summer, fall, winter, spring... whatever time of the year...this truck is here and so are the customers. I finally stopped to partake in a taco. They are CASH ONLY. You can park in the gravel lot to the right of the truck and the bigger lot further right. So glad I did! The street tacos are $1.50 each. I had a cabeza and asada. The little flour tortillas were warmed on a flat griddle, nice added touch that brought out the flavor. The cabeza was flavorful, nice solid slices...melt in your mouth, not mushy. Yummy! So sorry to my fave taco truck in Woodland, but this cabeza taco rolls over yours... but you still have my vote over the salsas. The cabeza meat serving size was plentiful. Luv that! The asada taco was tasty also. They also have ice cold glass bottled Jarritos and Coke colas ... made with real cane sugar. Ya! $2. $2.50 for the bigger sized Coke's. Canned soda and bottled water $1. The menu has other offerings but I tend to stick to the street tacos. The staff is bilingual. Great. Plus they are CASH ONLY. #elverduzcotacotruckwintersca

    Food was pretty great. We came in early for dinner and late for happy hour but HH goes on until…read more10pm here now. Service was decent but they were decidedly busier than they've been in the past. Ambiance felt like we were at...Cattlemen's. More of a sit down and enjoy yourself thing than Buckhorn with an older wooden feel to it. For kicks I started off with a Howdy Beer. Not sure who makes it, how epic it is or is not, nor any subtle notes of anything. It's a $4 can and it came with a nice cold glass. Potato skins, filled with the usual not-healthy-but-delicious goodness of bacon, cheese and green onions were perfect to start out. My Rodeo Burger was just as you'd expect from a steakhouse- wonderful beefy flavor with a rougher (larger?) texture than usual. So not like your average burger. Came with fried onions and sautéed mushrooms but we ordered a different burger (classic) so I put those onions on as well. Swiss cheese and peppercorn sauce made a great bite. Came with a load of fries and we subbed a salad for one of the orders. Didn't have any of the Raspberry Lemon Drop but heard no complaints about it either. They provided us with a supplementary gluten free menu so that was helpful. It's the place right off the freeway when heading to Sac/Tahoe from the bay and it's worth a stop. Dixon High School puts out a coupon book/card each year for a fee. This year the card costs $40 I believe so sure, throw in a bit for the Rams' seasons. Attached to the card came a cardboard ad/coupon page and there were two offers for $10 off of a $50 Cattlemen's purchase. So we used one of those. (Still have one more! Have to be sure to use it in the next 11 months) Left full with TONS of food to take home for a grand total of $49.93. They let it slide so a decent tip was left for our server.

    I visited Cattlemen's over the weekend and unfortunately left very disappointed. I understand they…read morewere busy, but our experience was much worse than I expected for the price. We arrived around 7:30 p.m., and I had to ask more than once for water. After ordering, we waited about an hour for our food. By the time it arrived, we had already been waiting quite a while and hadn't eaten for several hours. Unfortunately, several of the steaks came out cold and were extremely salty. The kids' steaks were also incredibly chewy--possibly just the cut of meat, but they were essentially inedible. Most of that food ended up going to waste. The potatoes were also disappointing; they were hard and not enjoyable at all. We did let our waiter know about the issues. He spoke with the manager, and she did remove two of the meals from our bill, which I appreciated. However, we still spent almost $300 on dinner, and it was very frustrating to spend that much money on food that several of us could barely eat. There was also some confusion with the "Dinner for Two" option on the menu. The way the dessert portion and pricing were explained to us was confusing, particularly regarding whether the dessert was included or discounted depending on whether you ordered it. Overall, I expected a much better experience for the price. I understand restaurants can have an off night, especially when they're busy, but between the long wait, cold and overly salty steaks, chewy meat, hard potatoes, and the overall cost, I left very disappointed. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning.

I ordered the super burrito with carnitas. My friend ordered the loaded nachos. Granted we were the next to last customers, so they were definitely ready to go home. But they were still super friendly! I received my burrito and it had cheese (which I had asked to NOT have) and sour cream on the side (which I had also asked to have). I just let the cheese-thing go since I didn't want them to have to remake the burrito. After I asked the server, she brought out a ramekin of sour cream. The nachos looked good and he ate all of them so that was good. The chips are always nice to have but these chips weren't anything to write home about. They've done a great job decorating.

    Food: 4.5 Service: 5…read more Cleanliness: 5 Ambiance: 5 My husband and I were on a road trip from up north and wanted one last good meal before heading home. We found El Capi on Yelp and were impressed by the great reviews. When we walked in, it was completely empty, which made us a little hesitant--but the vibes felt right, so we decided to give it a shot. First impressions? The place is super cute and spotless--huge for me. Even the bathroom was chef's kiss clean (major points!). The server was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Booths were spacious and spotless. You can order from physical menus or scan a QR code, which is always a nice option. Here's what we ordered: * Caldo de Camarón * Calamari * Spicy Edamame * Two shrimp tacos * One fish taco * Shrimp tostada Everything was seriously delicious. The edamame had a great kick, and the calamari was perfectly cooked--crispy, not rubbery--and paired with a zesty tartar sauce that really elevated the dish. The tacos and tostada were fresh and flavorful. My only critique? The tortillas. That's the one area I'd love to see improved. Handmade or at least warmed on the comal would have really taken the tacos to the next level. Ours felt like they came from a microwave or warmer, which was a bit of a letdown. As for the caldo--it was flavorful and came with a generous side of onion, cilantro, and avocado, which I loved. The shrimp-to-broth ratio was perfect, but I wish there had been more veggies in the soup. A few more chunks of potato, some carrots, maybe a bit of zucchini or even corn would have made it feel more complete. One other win: the beans. My husband couldn't stop raving about them. We're not sure if they were made in-house, but they didn't taste canned, and that's a win in our book. By the time we were leaving, more people were coming in--which was nice to see. I have a feeling El Capi might be a newer spot, and I genuinely hope it takes off. If you're in the area, give them a shot and support a small business with a ton of potential!

I've been here twice now, and feel this is an honest assessment of what to expect Staff: Extremely courteous and helpful. I've felt welcomed from the very first instance I've come through the door. Food: On both occasions I've had the Fried Chicken and Fried Catfish, along with some French Fries. While I think the Fried Chicken is good, it just doesn't hit me the way I would like. While it is cooked perfectly inside and out, it just lacks something for me. The Fried Catfish on the other hand, is on point. Cooked perfectly again and just wonderful flavor and seasoning. Fries are right up there, too. I haven't tried anything else at this point, but I imagine that there are probably no real disappointments from here. I'm a big boy and portions are more than enough. Ambience: I had to mark this down a bit. While it is not bad, it's nothing special either. Tables and chairs, and a few decorations and TVs. The place is extremely clean which is something you can never take for granted. Intangibles: The Owner...This guy is full of energy and just puts out a real positive vibe. He knows customers by name, and just seeing the repeat customers tells me the place is good. After both visits my interactions with him just leave me feeling good, which is something that's hard to find these days. Definitely a spot that's on my consistent "go to" list now.
