    Got food to go. Ordered 2 Al pastor burritos and a cheese quesadilla. He asked if I wanted super. I said yes. Rang up the order and it was $40+ I was kinda confused by how much each item costs. Food was prepared pretty quick. Look inside the bag. No salsa. I shouldn't have to asked for that. Get home. Only got 1 napkin(minor issue) but we ordered 3 items. The burritos were carnitas not Al pastor. It was dry pieces of meat. The quesadilla was $11 for one small tortilla folded in half! Smh! To expensive and food wasn't great. Won't be going back.

    Sangria

    This restaurant is nice and clean!! Friendly staff. You order at the counter first then they serve you. They have beers and delicious sangria. When you sit down, they serve you chips and salsa while you wait for your food to arrive. I think I ate 3 chips and then VOILA! Here comes my food! That was fast! The food is good and fresh. I really enjoyed my taco salad in the tortilla bowl. First of all, the shell was crispy and not oily or old. This was the first time I actually ate the entire bowl! Secondly, this is truly a salad. No rice and beans to weigh you down. It was very good! Overall, I would return here when I'm in Vacaville again.

    One container for 3 entrées?! The one container wasn't even enough for my burrito. I needed two.

    The food is great, but the fight to get salsa with your burrito or taco is no bueno. If u have a burrito or any entrée you should be given a salsa. If u want more sure u can charge me. But gosh darn it why can't a girl get some salsa with her burrito?? And when u ask them for more they get irritated with u. Why give me chips with my two tacos if I have no salsa??! I'm so confused. You can also do like other restaurants that have a squeeze bottle and charge for your salsa if u are really concerned about it. PLEASE START GIVING OUT SALSA WITH OUR ORDERS Thank you, The people

    I've been here a few times and it used to be good and reasonably priced. I ordered a chili relleno plate for lunch to go. No drink, no nothing. $19.51 out the door. I get home and I barely saw anything green in my relleno. What I did see was extremely thin piece of paper like pepper. There was hard, to chewy cheese and omg, the batter was burnt on the bottom, felt like I was chewing on a dam dry sponge. That was the texture. There was no stem which is typically part of the dish and resembles a chili relleno. Just horrible. My pepper not only paper thin, but was all of 3" long and an inch wide. All I got was a sponge type thick batter and it was gross. Never again. $19.51 for this was ridiculous. Oh they also gave me chips but no salsa. What good are chips with no salsa?? Way too expensive and not worth the money. There is a Mexican restaurant in the Alamo plaza that has great Rellenos with rice and beans, and I got two Rellenos for $16.00 and change. Won't be going back to Favella's. Very disappointed.

The food was equally great! I had a chicken enchilada and tamale.They were out of pork tamales. The tamale masa was thin, flaky, and delicious! The tortilla on the enchilada was soft as well. The refried beans and rice were good. The food arrived hot which was much appreciated. Opted for the hot salsa and mixed it with the milder salsa for a wonderful result. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

    We were big big fans of Los Reyes Restaurante. Vacaville was almost the perfect halfway point…read morebetween Sonoma and Sacramento airport, and any drive over 20 minutes makes me hungry, hahah. We walked up and down Main Street to see our options... several dive bars, a wine bistro, an Italian spot, Chinese food.. but we were drawn to Los Reyes for 3 main reasons. 1.) The fantastic patio space to enjoy the weather 2.) Mexican food is a safer bet than most when you have to order gluten free! And 3.) Great prices even outside of Happy Hour -- which fortunately for us, we were just in time for. There's lots of seating inside and out, plus a decent sized bar, so more real-estate than a lot of the other nearby restaurants. Good for a group! A lot of people fit in here but it doesn't feel too squished, you have room. The menu is pretty big and the prices are really great. And I loved the chips and salsa that arrive once you sit down. You get 4 salsas!! I ordered the shrimp tostadas on a whim, felt nervous about making the wrong choice, but ended up loving them. I barely had leftovers! The shrimp were perfectly cooked with a slight smoky char and lots of citrus, and the pickled cabbage and green sauce were both super fresh and different and delicious. With a little sour cream on the side, these tostadas felt indulgent and light at the same time. Our hostess, waitress, and bartender were all super kind and relaxed, despite how busy they were. The staff seems pretty small compared to the amount of people in here, but they handle it well. We had to wait a good 10 minutes to order once we were sat, but once we did, our food and drinks came out quickly. Hot and fresh and colorful and so good!

    I was in Vacaville on business. On my way out the door I paused, (my stomach made me do it) asked…read moremy host if the Mexican spot across the street was any good, and waited to hear his reply: "nah, not really. If you want good Mexican you gotta hit Jalisco". Say less. "Oh, and get their green salsa." Ok, you said a little more but we'll get back to that. I headed out the door and started driving. Soon I realized I didn't actually know where I was going (not unusual for me) and called the host. All sorted out I not only found Tacos Jalisco but got the (green) spot right in front. Valet parking would have been less convenient. Things were looking up. I went full gringo and bought a super burrito. Was it OK? No. Was it good? No. Was it great? Getting there. Was it superb? Warmer. Was it T R A N S C E N D E N T? YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was the sauce good? Ok, let's not do this again. Yes! The sauce was HELLA GOOD! How good? Let's just say they sell it by the bottle FOR A REASON, primo. For a reason. Did I buy a bottle? Uh, do people come from out of state to buy bottles to freeze? Uh, yes. So yeah, you best believe I copped a bottle. Call the burrito Davíd Blaine because that lil hommie disappeared real quick. (I got the al pastor which was perfect btw. ) The ambiance? I don't know. Do you remember the color of the carpet when you were at the California Lottery's finance office to pick up your Powerball winnings (you picked lump sum)? Then you know what I'm talking about. A lot of tops. Place was clean. Menu's were easy to read. The very nice lady working the register was hella cool and even offered up suggestions when I was vacillating. Lots of dudes in the kitchen so my to-go came out real quick. (Lots of cooks to me means they're doing a brisk business. Which means fresher food. Faster service. Etc. You know the ------ vibes! So all I have now is this bottle of green salsa and the knowledge that refills are only $5.00. For life. Yes they make it fresh every damn day. Stop playing. Maybe I'll see you at Tacos Jalisco when I'm filling up my bottle.

    Since I've been craving a lot of Mexican food lately, it's been my mission to try different…read morerestaurants in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed eating at Tacos Jalisco in Vallejo, so I was curious if they were the same (at least the food anyway). Although I do appreciate being able to order a wet regular burrito, topped with shredded cheese, I feel like the meat (I ordered carne asada) wasn't really flavorful. My husband ordered a regular chicken burrito and stated that the burrito included very little chicken but a bunch of beans. Overall, our meal was OK. It filled the belly, but we didn't enjoy our food too much. 3 out of 5 stars.
