We went there Friday night to get some local Mexican food as we just moved to the area and it was delicious! I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The complimentary salsa and bean dip was tasty and I ordered a Michelada with my food and it was decent. We actually shared a combo fajitas plate and got the carne asada, chicken, and carnitas. Everything tasted great and we were in and out of there just like we prefer it. Thank you! read more

This place is a true small-town staple, and it absolutely deserves the love. The food is amazing, comforting, flavorful, and tastes like home every single time. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they make. The service is just as wonderful. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and great with kids, which makes it such an easy spot for families. It's relaxed, cozy, and feels like a community gathering place. Parking is super easy too, which is always a bonus. If you're looking for authentic, home-style Mexican food with great service, this is the place to go. It's become my families go to. Perfect for rainy days when you need something warm and comforting to lift you up. read more

Los Pinos - Chicken Tortilla soup - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

We have been to this restaurant several times. We like to frequent local places. I will say that the drinks are very well. Made service is very good. The food is quite bland. We went for Cinco de Mayo midday. The salsa for the chips was totally bland. I ordered the chicken enchiladas plate They look like mini tacos. There was absolutely no flavor on them. I was disappointed. I will not go there for quite some time as there are other options in town sorry to say read more

Won't be back. I've been coming in for years. Don't know what's going on in that restaurant. Looks like the employees are having more fun than they are working. Every to go order I place recently has been wrong and I just came home with my final to go order which they got wrong again. I ordered los Pino's tacos and was told it takes 20 minutes to melt the cheese. Came home and there's no cheese on it. Food wasn't warm and got the wrong salad dressing. Big disappointment since I live close by. read more

Absolute crap food!!! Ordered Chile Verde and it came cold, not even like warm, just cold! I get managers attention, tell her it's cold and ask her to touch it and she said no because they will reheat the dish! I said no that's nasty as it should have never left the kitchen. She left without even saying a word and has not been back to say anything more! Ordered Ribeye medium, and arrived rare and no flavor! And the chips are bought, salsa needs salt/ flavor! Now i understand the 3.4 star reviews!!! read more

We found Los Pinos a year ago, and it is absolutely our favorite Mexican food restaurant ever. When we arrived yesterday, we had chips, salsa and refried beans brought to our table (best ever) - so yummy. My husband ordered the chicken picante burrito. So tasty and it has all white meat & great flavors. I had one carnitas street taco and one classic taco and again, super good! Definitely, the icing on this restaurant is Luis! He always welcomes us and greets us like best friends. Additionally, Vanessa is great. She took our order, so knowledgeable of the specials, new items on the menu and checked in on us during our meal. Luis and Vanessa just make us feel that we came to the right place! It feels like Cheers - where everybody knows your name! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

The man and I love this neighborhood restaurant for the Happy Hour! We never had a bad experience with the bar staff. They're always so pleasant and accommodating. We always like a table for four to fit all the appetizers and delish adult beverages. Yes, I've been to places where they don't understand my logic! Happy Hour is offered in the bar and patio area from 2pm to 6pm. Prices range from $5 verde fries (one of my favorites) to $9 Mexican Shrimp Cocktail. Is the food authentic? HAHHAHA, negative. Is it good for the price, quantity, and quality. read more

The last two times we've eaten there has been a total disappointment. I used to love going there but the food is now simply tasteless. I don't know what's going on there but I will not eat there anymore till they correct it. I hate to say it but the dinner was horrid tasting ..... Taco Bell is far superior to what we ate tonight . Sad Hope they figure it out and correct it soon....... read more

At this little gem I had a great lunch with excellent service and the food was outstanding. I had the Suizas Enchiladas. They were delicious. The staff was very attentive and friendly. read more

I meet up with a a big group of about 12 for dinner in Cameron Park. Someone in our group had the forethought to call days in advance to make a reservation. Lucky that was done, since on a Saturday night, this place filled up pretty quickly creating a wait time. Overall, we had a great time. The service was terrific. The food was good, simple classic Mexican food. We were provided complimentary chips n salsa. Refills were plentiful. No complaints. I ordered the Los Pinos Carne Asada plate. It was a grilled ribeye. I ordered it medium rare. It came out perfectly cooked. But the cut was tough and super hard to slice even with the provided steak knife. Other folks in my group ordered crispy asada tacos, chicken fajitas, various burritos, steak ranchero, and taco salad. They all liked their dishes. The chicken fajita serving was large enough for two. I nibbled a bit off their plates. Yum! I just didn't have quite the luck with my dish. I'm apt to come back and possibly try other items. read more

We went here for lunch. The food was awful! No flavor, no salt, no salsa, no spices, the carnitas had to have been a few days old. I ordered the black beans as a side dish. Even the refried beans would have been better. Sorry, would not recommend this place for lunch. Jimboy's Tacos is far superior, and it's just over the freeway! read more

It's taken 13 years to get back to Los Pinos and we were pleasantly surprised. It was jam packed but there was a table in the bar area. They kept apologizing for being busy and we kept saying that busy is good! Being busy didn't keep them from providing great customer service and the atmosphere was hopping. Food was tasty, drinks were great and we WILL go back. Hope you give them a try! read more

The food was good. However, the rice and black beans weren't cooked quite enough. Also, the service was just all right. Our waitress wasn't very attentive to us. The best thing was the margaritas. They were really good. read more

** outstanding ** Food is always great but last night my boyfriend and I went for dinner around 5:30p. Whoever the chef was needs to be complimented. I ordered the Cameron's de la Crema which is shrimp In a chipotle crema sauce with Spanish rice and beans. This is my go to dish. It's always good but last night it was the best it ever has been you know. The amount of sauce was perfect the taste on point and the presentation was beautiful. I come from a culinary background. I went to culinary school and I've been working in the kitchen for 15 years. It's usually always underpaid understaffed and unappreciated. The tips usually always go to the servers this needs to change this Chef needs to be tipped and complimented, and given a raise I will definitely be coming back more and more in order the same thing. Hopefully he will be my cook all the time. read more

The carnitas burrito was incredible. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. However, the standout was the fast and attentive service we received, even on a Saturday night. I forgot to catch her name, but the girl with a bunch of arm tattoos was super polite, very attentive, and clearly cared about the job she was doing. A++. Good experience all around. read more

Fun ambience and wonderful service. All of their food. Here is great. I recently had their shrimp cocktail and it was so filling. I almost couldn't finish it.. Great place with good energy Definitely recommend read more

Horrible service. Yes it was cinco de mayo but it took our waitress 25 minutes to bring us water and take our drink order, and bring chips. Which never got refilled by the way. The table behind us got their order right away. Same number on their party as ours. Never asked us if we needed anything and when she brought our food out, we had to ask for silverware. Never again! read more

Great staff, aways friendly. Food is really good with generous portions. The margaritas are worth a try.

It was amazing cute little Mexican place. Food was really good. We ordered Bass Tacos. Those were really really good. The service was very slow though especially for the lunch time when everyone has to get back to work in time. Our server had no idea if the food there when we asked for recommendations. But whatever we ordered turned out to be really good read more

3rd time here. This time ordered on line for a later pick up to take home. Easy and the food was ready when I got there. The food itself is consistently good. 1st time was breakfast, 2nd was Happy Hour and now Dinner. Fish Tacos Dinner and a Chili Relleno Dinner. Tasted great and he cilantro rice was the best I have tried. read more

Good margs. Fast friendly service. The food, on the other hand, was bland. I mean, canned enchilada sauce would have been an improvement. The chile relleno tasted like a chile and cheese, but that's it. Maybe I'm being too harsh. It was ok, but just ok. There was just no pop. Rework a few recipes and this place would be bangin read more

Great menu with a wide variety of excellent items. We did Chile verde, carnitas and fajitas for the three of us. Each plate easily could have served two- and the flavors were great. Servers were pretty non-existent , just four tables of people for lunch and our server never appeared once the meal was served. read more

We have been coming to Los Pinos for the last year on a regular basis and bring family and friends. Food is generally good and staff is nice. Tonight we had order directly from the website and they processed the order. I waited for over an hour for food and received notification that our food was deliver to our house. When checking our front porch there was no food in sight. I called the restaurant and spoke to the hostess and she indicated she was new and did not know that they had a delivery option through the website or that you had a website. I said okay and explained to her that they did, had a laugh and asked if she could track my order down and I would go look on the neighbors porches till she called me back. 15 mins later I hadn't heard from her so i called her back and she explained that her manager was out making delivers and she didn't know where my food was but would give my call to the bartender and she could handle my refund because they had no one to deliver food at this point. The moment she put me on the phone with the female bartender she had attitude and I was bothering her. I explained to her that I had ordered food on their website and the previous girl on the phone told me that the manager was delivering food. She told me that I had to call Door Dash twice and i told her I didn't order through Door Dash I had ordered through their website directly. She proceded to get loud and incredibly rude and tell me its not her problem if the food was not delievered and that they make no money on lost orders so they are not refuding or remaking the food. At this point to get a word in I had to speak loudly because she was completely talking over me with her horrible attitude and customer service. She told me I had to call them because she was not doing it and it was not her problem. I asked for the number of who i am suppose to call since your restaurant is who placed the order with a 3rd party delivery service to which I was told I could look it up on google. I let her know she needed to call them and she told me no. I asked if I could speak to her manager and she told me it goes no higher then her and I needed to call Uber. She gave me a number that goes to the drivers for scheduling and no one picks up. I had to track down a customer service text number through your delivery service to talk to someone. For the sake of your business this woman really needs to learn how to speak to customers on the phone and not be so incredibly rude. If the table were reversed and she just spent $70 on dinner and waited over an hour plus and was met with this...she wouldn't be happy or return to a restaurant that thinks this is acceptable. I am now to wait 5-7 days for a response from the delivery company on the return of our money. Completely unexceptable. Such a shame- your food is good but we wont be returning nor will our local family in the community. read more

The order was for take out for my parents and myself. The service was fast and the food was great as usual.

We've gotten food to go many times and it's been decent to good, depending on the night. The to go margaritas have been convenient and delicious as well. Until last night. When I got home, I realized our order was wrong and the margaritas were not our favorite prickly pear, but very limey and very, very sugary. They tasted like virgins, and for four of them at $11.50 a piece, that was very disappointing. We are hoping it was an off night, but for $88, it may not be worth it to try again. read more

We used to really like this restaurant. However, there have been changes and not for the better. The carnitas was very dry, and as a result, difficult to eat. They added cilantro rice but forgot to add the flavor. I've never had cilantro rice without lime. The topper was when one of the staff cleaned off the table next to us. It had lots of chips and other bits of food on it. She simply swept them onto the floor, right in the traffic pattern. There it all sat for people to walk on. Sorry folks, but you just lost a customer. Adios! read more

We have been here a couple of times before and were treated very well by the owners. He and his wife were super in customer service and very friendly. We came back because of the good food and treatment. We were coming home from Tahoe recently and decided to have lunch here on our way home. Completely different experience with the young female bartender, whom treated us extremely rude the minute we sat down. We had to keep asking for the very basics, utensils, napkins, salt and pepper... and were treated as an inconvenience and complete rude behavior. However, she was quite enamored with man with long hair she couldn't stop talking to and laughing loudly. It wasn't even a thought to make our drinks while the man kept being waited on hand foot and finger. We missed seeing the owners and enjoyed our time very much on previous visits read more

My bestie and I had V day dinner together. She enjoys this place so we came here for dinner. 'Twas a rather slow and cold start to our meal after we were seated outside with a heater that wasn't on and couldn't get anyone outside for nearly 10 minutes to turn it on...... then about 5 more minutes for water. Then we got a new server. He was awesome! The food was ok. She got the chili verde. That's her favorite dish, she said it lacked a little flavor tonight. I got the pork tamales. They were ok. The horchata was really good! especially with a shot of rum! lol I wasn't a huge fan of the strawberry chimichanga. Between our awesome server and ok food I would try this place again. read more

Los Pinos - Enchiladas Rancheras - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

Chili Verde perfect! The chorizo breakfast is perfect too! I love trying Chile Verde where ever I travel and this is the best.

The location has the Mexican decor that you would expect. The staff is friendly and our server checked on us a couple times. The prices are reasonable, and the dining area is clean. Based on these observations you would think the review would be higher. Unfortunately when it comes to the most important area to review this restaurant struggles. The food is average. We order taquitos for an appetizer and we had Ground beef enchiladas, Asad street tacos, and Pollo San Marcos. All of these were ok. They needed salt, and more seasoning. Taquitos were dry and the salsa didn't help. The enchilada red sauce taste like it's out of a can. Nothing special about the sides of rice and retried beans. Overall this review was based on the food and we expected more from an "Authentic " Mexican restaurant. read more
