Service was amazing, food was delicious, and the dessert was excellent. 10/10 will come back again!

Excellent food, service and cocktails received free chips and salsa. Very decent atmosphere. Not fancy but very accommodating and large. Great margaritas read more

Our friends recommend this place.Just moved here from San Jose and was craving good Mexican. Chips and salsa was tasty! I had chicken mole & husband had chili Colorado. My mole was just OK but to be fair,prefer the black mole.Sides were delicious and husband shared the Chili Colorado-it was amazing!! read more

This is the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Service was terrible. Food was fast food at best. Not many customers dining~ should be an indication! The best authentic Mexican food in the area is Casa Del Lago in Granite Bay. Server Alex is the best! No thanks Cascada; rather pay for amazing food that is fresh, great presentation, and priced right. read more

Went back in after the remodel for "kids eat free Wednesday " to see if it has gotten any better. Called ahead to ask about the stipulations on the "kids eat free Wednesday" and was assured by the host "anything off the kids menu is free with an entree". Ordered our 2 adult and 2 basic kids entrees. When check comes the manager says we should have read the fine print as posted in the bathroom and at A frame board on Francisco. Nothing in the actual restaurant. Server didn't know. Host didn't know. Awful advertising if they are trying to get customers in there. Locals beware. read more

Apparently the hardest thing this restaurant serves is hospitality. I tried this place over a year ago and left after standing at the host stand for five minutes while employees somehow mastered the art of looking everywhere except at the waiting customer. Against my better judgment, I decided to give them a second chance tonight. About an hour before closing, there were maybe a dozen people in the entire restaurant. After waiting several more minutes to be acknowledged, an employee finally wandered over and, with all the warmth of a parking ticket, told me the dining room was "closed" and I'd have to squeeze into an already packed bar. Meanwhile, the dining room still had multiple occupied tables. So apparently it's open enough for the people already sitting there, just not for paying customers who walk in. I said, "No thanks," and got exactly the reaction you'd expect: complete indifference. It's honestly impressive to have two visits, over a year apart, and manage to make such a consistently terrible first impression both times. If your business model is making customers feel like they're interrupting your evening by trying to spend money, congratulations, you're nailing it. I won't be making the mistake of giving this place a third chance. read more

Fried ice cream is a must love the cereal coating on it. It definitely gave me sweet tooth vibes as I'm writing this. The churro and ice cream combo was great too. . The Mexicano plato is a new favorite. It has a little bit of everything. I love the Carne which is thin and flavorful. Comes with chicken taquito and is Crispy filled with shredded chicken. Love the Jalisco Style Enchilada which was simple and cheesy. The chili rellano was my favorite soft and cheesy gooey. . Queso Blanco dip with Chorizo was creamy good. Also the different salsas and habenero salsa was spicy flavorful. . The aguachille with green salsa was soooo good, I used it and dip everything with it. The spice level was so perfect but then eventually caught up to me. . Inside is big with a nice bar area, dining area, even have a party room that fits up to 80 people. Parking is in a nice shopping plaza. . Tacos with steak and chicken and bacon mixed together is wow and anything with bacon is a yesss. . Overall we had a great experience with mama. She loved the chips and salsa and tacos. When I have a happy mama I'm a happy boy. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

A Hidden Gem La Cascada Family Mexican Restaurant is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in the region. The service was attentive, friendly, and fast. What truly sets La Cascada apart is the authenticity of their food. Every dish is bursting with bold, rich flavor. Their Fajitas and Fish Taco's are the bomb!! The tortillas are fresh, the salsas are perfectly seasoned, and the menu has a variety of traditional favorites and unique house specials that will keep us coming back. The restaurant itself is spotless, cozy, and welcoming--cleanliness is clearly a top priority, which only adds to the comfort of the dining experience. If you're a sports fan you can eat in the bar while watching multiple games. I tried a new beer in "Victoria" that has become a favorite. If you're looking for a place that combines authentic Mexican cuisine, outstanding service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere, you'll find La Cascada to be a treasure. read more

La Cascada - Mexican Near Me - El Dorado Hills, California

The absolute Worst service in El Dorado Hills. The bartenders are incompetent. The service is horrible and it is over priced. Never go there plenty of better spots in El Dorado Hills. read more

We waited a while for someone to approach us so we could be seated. Kinda strange. The food seemed to take a while. My tacos were prepared with store bought shells. Really? It's over priced blah food. My daughter's salad saved the meal, it was good. We were charged extra to use our credit card. Really? Who carries enough cash to cover a party of 7? We will not be returning. read more

7/17/2023: My party and I sat at the bar lounge despite, there were several dining tables opened. We waited fifteen minutes before anyone took our drink order, tortillas and a small dollop of salsa were served then, another ten minutes passed when a wait staff decided taking our food order but, they NEVER GAVE US THE LA CASCASDA MENU . . . We had to go hunt for a menu ourselves--WTH!!!! Despite waiting a total of twenty-five minutes for ANY wait staff taking our drink order and food order, I FINALLY ordered La Cascada's Happy Hour Street Tacos; HOWEVER, upon receiving the Street Tacos twenty minutes later: The Street Tacos were egregiously BLAND, i.e., NO CHEESE, NO SALSA, NO FLAVOR~WTH!!!! Disappointingly, I had no choice but, add the leftover salsa from the tortilla chips due to there was no salsa accompanying the street tacos when served despite, hailing the wait staff-AGAIN requesting more salsa. Moreover, the wait staff didn't provide water refills despite, the weather temperature was 103° Fahrenheit! Furthermore, I requested one napkin which never arrived when the Street Tacos were served . . . Service was sporadic and grossly inattentive. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT! read more

Fajitas flavorless... and carrots in it does not work. And did not tell us of an upcharge...really?

We loved going there for lunch often. Unfortunately, last week and time before, I got the ground beef taco and enchilada. The hamburger meat did not taste like their regular before, it tasted awful. Not sure what meat they are using lately? read more

Worst service I have ever had. And I mean the worst. Food taste good but if you need anything else like a refill or napkin don't hold your breath. We had to get up and ask for more tortillas, napkins and refills. Complete failure read more

This restaurant is more of a family restaurant, or a party/after a event kind of thing. Their food is so greasy to the point every time I've eaten there I go home with an upset stomach and a raging head ache. The food just taste so bulk made, and low quality... The people who work there are very nice, but I just can't get over how many times I have tried to give them a chance and it just lets me down each time. If you want something more , try zocalo. Sorry... read more

We had a wonderful dinner here tonight! A delicious, huge Top Shelf Rita (not too sweet) and with fresh orange was great! My hubs had ceviche that he said was delicious and fresh but wished it had been a tad colder.. I was thrilled with my 6 mini taco sampler (perfect for me since I can never choose my favorite lol) I was in Heaven! The owner checked on us and SKYLER our waiter gave us great service! Gracias! We will return!! read more

The food and service were great. We are new to the area and still trying to find our Mexican go to spot. We had not been here before and brought the whole family for my wife's birthday. The staff was very attentive and the food was good. It's a little bit on the higher side price wise, but everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. They also came out and sang happy birthday to my wife and brought her a dessert which topped the evening off. read more

We figured we would give happy hour a shot. Just left. We sat at the bar for 10 minutes. Both guys working the bar area never said a word. One looked down at us but decided to start taking misc items to the kitchen. read more

Always great food and service. We have been coming here for years and the food is consistently great. Festive atmosphere and decor. Also spacious floor plan if you ever need a private party venue this would be it! My favorite plate is the Carnitas, but I also love the Chili Verde and Molcajete! Can't go wrong to be honest. Also a full bar of your looking to just hang out and have a couple drinks and watch a game; If you like spicy I would try the "off menu" bean dip with a side of Habanero Sauce or for a more mild choice Queso Fundido Dip with a top shelf margarita! read more

Good food, ok atmosphere. The waitress was nice and attentive. The bar personnel was uncaring and cold who delivered our margaritas. We would have ordered another round despite his cold persona. We ordered the 2 taco lunch chicken & asada with rice and beans also the chili verde with rice and beans. Good food but not the best atmosphere to want to come back to as it was lunchtime. Just saying. read more

Reliable, great bar, generous portions. But the best part is the staff who are always friendly and attentive.

I had the taco salad,Canned shredded chicken no seasoning was watery. Serve was slow, pretty much nonexistent.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch. There was only 1 other person in eating. We set for 15 minutes and Noone came to help us. We didn't even get water. I could see if the restaurant was busy but when there is only 1 other customer we should have been served quicker than ever. We finally had to leave because we had an appointment. We decided that we would not go back. If I could give less than 1 star I would. The food may be good or even great but if you can't get waited on it doesn't matter what the food is like. read more

A neighborhood favorite! I'm a lover of chicken tortilla soup and they have the BEST I've had. That said, everything they make is delicious.

This is my best place to enjoy Mexican food, food service and drinks are awesome. Love there unique old style.

Expensive and tasteless food. Service is slow and uninspired. Better off going to Del Taco!

I rank it 5 for location, easy parking, nice vibe and friendly staff. Drinks are good. I'm not in love with their chopped salad being served on a flat plate but that's maybe just me. I like their house salsa. Quick friendly service is never an issue. Not enough meatless options for me to come on my own but it's an easy place to meet up and for groups. read more

La Cascada - They called it something different but essentially a mangonada. Mango, tequila, chamoy and tajin. Yummy. - Mexican Near Me - El Dorado Hills, California

In deep covid denial, with $22 burritos to accompany the political grand-standing. Lazy, disinterested service and overpriced menu. However, they have little immediate local competition, and the El Dorado sheriff won't enfore public health mandates, so they will probably do okay. Attached is a photo of the sign on the door as you enter, which expresses the management's defiant stance on masking and vaccination protocols. read more

I have had people brag about this place and how wonderful their food is. I tried it 9/9/23 and I was just not impressed. We received lousy service and the margareta was terrible as well as the food. So not sure what everybody brags about, I've had better from family owned restaurants where the food melts in your mouth and you could not get enough. I would not recommend this place. read more

Very nice place. Food was not very authentic and drinks as well as food were extremely overpriced.
