Decor…read moreon the inside is the same as the Chinese place that put it in years ago so it cool that they were able to reuse as a coastal Mexico theme. I was surprised to see that Owner is super cool and gave us a dessert to try out and walked us through the menu. We've eaten in the restaurant more than we've had takeout and can recommend for either direction your night wants to go! Onto the food: Chips and Salsa - Typical crunchy corn chips with a good portion of salt sticking to each one. Very good like any solid taqueria would have. Habanero Sauce - 9 - Tasty but wow will this one get you. It's hot! So much good flavor though...it's to die for. Jalapeño Cream Sauce - 10 - Something I've never seen before but is so delicious. Creamy with tremendous Jalapeno flavor with a kick. Destination salsa!!! Guacamole Sauce - 6 - Lacking in lime flavor, watered down avocado Sinaloa Sauce - 8 - fresh tomato forward but excellent spices on the finish. Rice 7 - Good but run of the mill Beans - 10 - Best refried beans you can get...seriously! Quesabirria - 9 - Juicy and flavorful. I need to try with hot sauce, cilantro, onions and lime to compare with the best in the business in Chula Vista La Fogata Burrito - 7 - It's a lot to eat but very one note in flavor. I was hoping for more pizazz Carne Asada Super Burrito - 10 - Juicy and tasty, hit damn it's good! Shredded Chicken enchilada with green sauce - 10 - Tender and juicy chicken along with perfectly bittersweet green sauce. Birria Enchilada with red sauce - 8 - Juicy meat but salty when combined with the red sauce. Good flavor though! Chile Relleno Plate - 10 - The fresh tomato sauce was perfect, the crunch on the chile was perfect, the cheese was perfect. Eat it right away to preserve the crunch! Taco Plate (Pollo Asada, Carnitas, Al Pastor) - Carne Asada - 7 - I ordered chicken but this was flavorful albeit dry Carnitas - 6 - No crisp and a bit lacking in flavor Al Pastor - 9 - Very flavorful but has a greasiness to it . I don't recommend ordering in a burrito because it may be overwhelming. Flan - 8 - Creamy and tasty, a tad sweet This place is fantastic. There are several items we've tried that have become our favorites among the local taquerias. Friendly staff, very high quality takeout Mexican at a good price. This place can't be beat!

Finally got to try Mas Taco Bar for the first time ever tonight, and I loved it…read more While I wouldn't necessarily describe these as some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life, they were top tier, and I would definitely eat here again. This was definitely one of the most extensive and unique taco menus I've ever seen. It was like the Cheesecake Factory of tacos. We started with the chips and guacamole, which was good, but honestly just a tad under ripe. But we were basically able to make up for that with lime and cotija (which it was topped with). For the main course, I ordered the taco plate special (2 tacos plus rice and beans for $11.99) with the Korean fried chicken taco and the carne asada taco. My friend got the same thing but with the short rib taco and blackened salmon taco. My tacos were amazing. The fried chicken was as crunchy and delicious as could be. I loved the bao bun shell. The chicken had just enough spice to give it a little kick, but was also sweet and savory. The carne asada taco was what I would describe as top tier for an American taco place. Maybe not street cart quality, but pretty close. My friend and I didn't try the drinks because we don't drink, but I noticed that they had a mocktail menu with about five drinks for about five bucks each. The service was fantastic. The waiter seemed very experienced and good at his job. I was surprised when my friend asked for the bill, and the server handed him his little handheld device and said, "Here you go." I said, "I'm going to remember this as an iconic moment of feeling older." I haven't been out to eat in a minute, but this was completely new to me. I used to be a server, and keeping all my ticket books in order was like, a big part of my job. Servers would secretly steal the best books from each other, or sometimes bring their own from home. I would spend several minutes per shift writing out little messages like, "Thanks so much! Happy Easter!! =D" Gone are the days. The restaurant was really clean and well lit, and the tables were well spaced. The covered patio looked like it would also be a nice place to sit in slightly cooler weather.

I've been here a few times and it's been good. This last time was absolutely horrible. The…read moremargarita, and chips & Gauc were the only thing decent. We ordered 5 different tacos and all were very gross. The food was cold and tasted awful. The fish taco was the worst. It tasted as if the fish had been sitting out for a few hours and they just threw it on a tortilla and called it good. When I complained, the server didn't care. I asked for a manager and they said we don't have one. To find out, there is no manager at all the folsom location. So you can see where the quality of food was lacking. I'm still waiting for a refund and no one has called me back from any of the other locations. Because if you need to make a calling, you'll need to call another location with a manager. We left and got dinner elsewhere because we were still hungry. And on top of it, had a very bad stomach ache for 24 hours after eating there. Beware!

The nachos came and they were huge!!!! Piled high with steak. And good steak that had a ton of taste. We were only supposed to snack since we had wrestling but ended up eating the whole thing!!!!!!! We'll be back asap.

I ordered a small lengua taco and carne asada nachos. The taco was just okay. The meat was cooked perfectly but there was no real flavor. Sadly, the chips for the nachos seemed stale so I attempted to supplement with the chips from the salsa bar only to have them also be stale. The nachos had an odd fishy flavor to them, perhaps coming from the refried beans. There's no real flavor. The meat was lacking and the cheese that was used was not flavorful. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. I'll be back to try again with a companion to compare reviews in the future!

Needed a quick bite before meeting a friend for a movie, and when I saw Taco Express I had one very…read moremature thought: "Yeah... tacos." That was it. Decision made. Now here's what made it even better--this used to be a Taco Bell back in the day, so let me just say... the taco energy in this building is deeply rooted. The tortilla spirits were already working overtime before I even walked in. I stepped inside, got greeted right away, and placed my order for carne asada tacos and a drink. Simple. Efficient. Exactly what the pre-movie mission required. But here's where things got impressive... I swear the second I paid, my food was basically already waiting for me like it had somehow known I was coming. And unless I missed someone hiding in the back doing ninja-level prep work, I'm pretty sure the young lady up front was running the whole operation. She was taking my order, working the drive-thru headset, handling everything, and still keeping it smooth like it was just another regular day. That kind of hustle deserves respect. Now let's talk tacos. These carne asada tacos came out hot, flavorful, and straight-up comforting. The kind of flavor that doesn't taste like "fast food trying to be tacos"--nah, these tasted like somebody's grandma would absolutely approve. And if the food gives "abuela would nod in silence and keep cooking," that's a compliment of the highest order. Every bite hit. The meat had flavor, the tacos were put together right, and for a quick stop before a movie, this absolutely overdelivered. The place was easy, the service was fast, and the whole stop felt like one of those hidden little wins you're glad you trusted. In all, Taco Express did exactly what it needed to do... Quick. Flavorful. No nonsense. Strong taco ancestry. And honestly, if this building was once a Taco Bell and has now evolved into this... that's character development. Will I be back? Yeah... because movie plans and tacos are a dangerous combo.

I tried to place the order online and it will not allow me to order the tacos for the Tuesday special price. I tried to call back to let them know but they didn't seem interested. Maybe they don't like people ordering their Tuseday Taco special? In any event I cannot place the order for the food I want - whether over the phone or online. If you can place your order with them they are worth a shot.

I also tried the bean and cheese burrito for $7.50. It was large and had a good amount of cheese. Loved it! The Salas and chip bar is help yourself and a total bonus in my book!

We were meeting a friend and they had gotten a table for us before we arrived, but it wasn't busy and there were plenty of tables available. We're glad we had a chance to try Cantina Pedregal before it changes into Nixtaco- although now having been to both you're going to have delicious food either way. The restaurant is beautiful and whoever did the interior design was so thoughtful with the furniture, colors and ambiance. It's very warm, welcoming and calming inside. A great date spot or place for a meeting. The lunch menu has a good variety of options, and is broken down into smaller bites/appetizers, salads, main plates, and then sides. It's a nice spot to share dishes so you can try more items and share the sides. We ended up getting the chips and salsa ($7) with an extra salsa ($4), Grilled Black Half Chicken ($23), and Fideo Seco ($14). Our friend got the Carne Asada Tacos ($24), Refried Beans ($12), and Red Rice ($10). The sides were shareable and needed, since the entrees came on their own. Our friend added some of the beans, rice and Fideo Seco on their tacos and our chicken did come with some tortillas to make our own tacos or eat on it's own. Everything was high quality and flavorful. The Fideo Seco was surprisingly my favorite item. It is vermicelli pasta with sofrito, chorizo and egg yolk and was very tasty. The chicken was good, but hard to eat without using your hands to get all the meat off the bones- the messy hands didn't seem to fit with the restaurant vibe but we loved the flavor and how tender the chicken was. The salsa was good and the chips were fresh, but it seemed like a lot to charge $4 for the ramekins of salsas. I would pass on chips and salsa next time. Overall it was a great vibe, high quality food and good service. Definitely more of a treat meal or great spot to impress a date or business client. For a regular chill meal it felt a bit expensive, but I think they're going for more upscale.

You walk in and the doors close individually but u do share the space and area to wash your hands with anyone that walks in . Not bad never really seen this before . Our waiter was amazing his name was Doug he explained the menu to us . It could be a lot but he helped us . Doug was very helpful and attentive. We ordered drinks my favorite one was called Sol Dorado . I wish they had more Gin drinks I had the only Gin drink called Brissa Del Mar but ,I was not a fan . For food we ordered the Caesar salad , sweet potato which was amazing. For our main dish we ordered the cazuela (Asado De Puerco ) which is pork stew it came with handmade corn tortillas . We made some delicious tacos out of it . I had to get dessert they all sounded so good! We got the Smoked Pumpkin Tres Leches delicious. Overall, it was a different experience the food is a bit different and I'm Mexican BTW but it's from a part in Mexico called Monterey every part in Mexico has their own way of cooking . The menu its self is different you order to share . It's a little on the pricier side but the portions were a good size for sharing . I feel like for the main entree there is not that many options on there wish to see more . Overall we had a great time . Great food and ambiance.
