    Chicken Taquitos
    Debbie C.

    Great food, great service, friendly atmosphere. Love this place!! Ordered the Taquitos today, so good! Thank you very much!!

    Chimichanga

    Chimichanga was not crispy. It was soggy. But I do love their crispy tacos they are delicious.

    Mojarra Frita

    Tried a New Mexican food spot today in Fair Oaks! Very friendly staff. I was skeptical at first because I don't like Mexican food when I don't get self-serve chips and salsa; however, I loved the food here. We were given small chip bags and three different salsas (mild red, medium green and a spicy habanero). Chips were fresh and salsa was definitely homemade. My mother ordered the Mojarra Frita (fried fish) and this was bomb. I might come back for this next time. I ordered the wet burrito with Al pastor. I loved it! It felt light. It didn't feel like I was eating something too greasy or fatty. Everything was portioned well and I appreciate that. Lastly, the Horchata was delightful. Will definitely come back to Los Gordos.

    Great find! This restaurant is a hidden gem! Authentic Mexican food! Super nice staff! Fast service! Has a small dine-in area. Large menu with lots to choose from. Great prices. Generous portions. Super tasty and delicious! Order three entree meals and all were delicious! Looking forward to our next visit !

    Regular tacos (carne asada, pollo asado, al pastor)
    Gillian A.

    Considering the saturation of taquerias in the area I'd say that this one is overall middle-of-the-road-tier hence the 3 stars; not a standout but not bad either. Pollo asado and al pastor meats are decently tasty with okay-ish tenderness. Carnitas is quite flavorful (favorite meat that I tried here). Can't really recommend the carne asada as it's bland and on the dry side. Hefty meat portions on the regular tacos but the burritos have a bit of filler to them (particularly rice). Horchata is a tad watery but still refreshing. Complimentary chips and salsa: chips are pre-bagged and are a little stale. Salsa tastes wholesale. Big shoutout to the cashier lady. Super sweet and friendly! Highlight of my visit here. No problems finding parking in the lot.

    Chimichanga and Chili Rellano with the best Horchata.

    We finally had time off again on a Sunday to come and enjoy thier yummy Sunday Brunch…read more Everything tasted amazing! Wish I could eat more I would of tried more dishes. Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures. It was very busy and carrying a plate didn't work well when taking pictures.

The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!

As you enter the restaurant, it has the Mexican feel with dark wood accents tile floor, Mexican paintings, the staff had nice looking black uniforms with red ties looking very professional. We ate outside on the patio, which is beautiful and was much quieter. They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which is fabulous. It was so good that was almost lunch itself. I ordered a Carnitas burrito. The flavor was good. I will say it had a different flavor than other Carnitas that I've had at different Mexican restaurants. I also had it wet so it was smothered with enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce was also different as it was chunky. All very good. The burrito is quite large. I was able to take it home and got two more meals out of it. Brunch is still going on while we were there so my wife ended up getting the French toast which came with three huge slices and looked and taste delicious as well. Pricing was fair for the two of us two meals no cocktails was about $50. I'd be back again.

Unfortunately, our last three visits have been consistently disappointing, and we've decided we won't be returning. About a year ago, the manager (or possibly the owner) was always present. He was professional, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about both the customers and the quality of the business. Since we stopped seeing him, we've noticed a significant decline. We always order two Yucatán chicken salads. More often than not, the salads have had very little chicken. On one visit, the salad was completely drenched in an overpowering vinegar dressing, making it difficult to enjoy. More concerning, after each of our last three meals, both my husband and I became queasy within a few hours and experienced stomach issues that sent us running to the bathroom. After the third occurrence, we realized it was no longer a coincidence and made the difficult decision to stop eating here. It's disappointing because this used to be one of our favorite restaurants. We hope management takes these concerns seriously and works to restore the quality and consistency that made this place so enjoyable in the past.

The prices felt high for the quality and portions received. I ordered a carne asada burrito (rice, beans, meat, Pico, cheese) for $14.50. While the burrito was large, it was mostly rice and beans, and the carne asada itself was disappointing. The texture was closer to ground beef than the grilled steak flavor and consistency I was expecting. My husband ordered the three street taco plate with rice and beans for $16.50, choosing carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas. He had similar thoughts about the carne asada, and felt that both the al pastor and carnitas lacked seasoning and overall flavor. He also purchased a canned soda for $2.50, which added to what already felt like a pricey meal. I understand that restaurant costs have increased over the years, and I don't mind paying more when the food quality matches the price. However, between the lack of air conditioning, the mid food, and the overall value, we didn't feel the experience justified the cost. The service was friendly, which we appreciated, but with so many other local Mexican restaurants offering more flavorful food at similar price points, we don't see ourselves returning.
