Taco Bell

Holy smokes. I had been wanting to try this place for years and finally decided to go for it. I…read morecalled in an embarrassingly large order (it was for multiple people, I swear), and the owner was very patient with me. I then rolled in to get said order in pajamas (work party, I swear), and they never once made me feel uncomfortable. In fact, the owner introduced me to his wife and son. So it was already five stars before I even got to the food. I got home and unpacked everything, and the portions are HUGE. I ordered the veggie tacos and veggie burrito, and it is easily 4-6 meals worth of food. Easily. Other members of my family ordered the chile relleno, and said it was one of the best they have ever had. And since my mom lived in Mexico, that is a ringing endorsement. The al pastor was also superb, as were the steak tacos. And the wet burrito. Dear Lord, the wet burrito. You could use that thing as a dumbbell and do bicep curls with it. It is massive and delicious. This place is a definite visit if you are in Cameron Park. Seriously, run, don't walk, to try this place.

My go to is Chile Rellano & Carne Asada burrito (pictured) or Surf & Turf (shrimp) burrito…read more The Surf & Turf has a grilled cheese tortilla that takes the burrito to the next level of amazing! Next time I'm going to ask if they can do grilled cheese to any burrito. The burritos have a good ratio of meat, beans & rice. Some restaurants load up on rice & beans and skimp on the meat; not this place! If you're in the mood for a burrito, this place is a must try!!!

This place truly has everything -- a small grocery selection, fresh Mexican baked goods, and even made-to-order food. The pan dulce section alone is worth the visit! It's one of those spots where you can grab specialty ingredients, fresh tortillas, hot food, and sweet treats all in one stop. Prices are comparable to other Mexican grocery stores in the surrounding area, which makes it even better. So happy to support a local business that brings real flavor and culture to our community.

Chicken taco - 7 Good taco because of the tasty chicken but otherwise ordinary. Carne Asada - 3 Very greasy steak and not well seasoned. This left a greasy taste in my mouth for hours! Hard Pass!!!

I love their crispy tacos which are fried on-site, not the hard tacos from the store. I judge a restaurant by their beans, usually, and this taqueria has the best. They make their own red mole which is outstanding! You won't be disappointed.

It has been a few years since we have eaten here…read more Came in for a late lunch and the place was empty. The male owner was serving us and seemed very rushed. That was not a good feeling, but then he also did not speak English well. He messed up three of the four items we ordered and of course they all cost more than what we ordered. When we got the bill and told him, he got the cook and we were able to settle everything out easily. We were told that the owner's wife was out so he was serving. We were happy to hear that his serving was temporary :). I am not sure if we received the lunch item or dinner item because our bill was wrong, but I ordered the chile verde chimichanga which comes with rice and beans. It was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! My partner had the bean and cheese lunch and he loved it as well. The salsa was flavorful and mild. All of the food was mild so next time I will ask for some spice! The restaurant is a good size and festive looking. It was clean and comfortable and the prices were good! We can't wait to go back!

It's been a couple years since we ordered take out from here and it was a bad experience…read moreunfortunately tonight when we did. Ordered half chicken which husband enjoyed but the rest was thrown out. 4 chicken flautas that were so burnt the meat looked like burnt steak. The chips they added for free were dark brown, the jalapeño poppers over cooked and dark brown was also missing any ranch for dipping. Lastly, we ordered 2 carne asada tacos and the meat was also burnt black and dark brown bits, no lime served on the side for these. After leaving a 25% tip online we'd hoped to have an enjoyable meal but we were disappointed. Also surprised at whoever packaged the food, letting it be served in that condition was concerning. We'll try elsewhere next time we are in the mood for good Mexican food.

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.

As we were sitting waiting for our food, a server came over on two separate occasions with the wrong food, asking who had what. Not a big deal, they obviously had the wrong table, no biggy, but it looks unprofessional. The vibe is always nice in there, very friendly and inviting. Then they finally brought our food out, and gave me my chimichanga, with a nice spread of avocado on the top. The issue? I specifically ordered it WITHOUT avocado or guacamole. It even said so on the receipt. But by that point I was starving, so I scraped it off and started eating. The pork inside was tasty, BUT I ORDERED CARNE ASADA. So in the end, I did not get what I ordered whatsoever. And as a side note, I've noticed the portion sizes vary each time I've come in, but this was by far the skimpiest portion I've ever gotten. The chimichanga was tiny, and I barely got any rice or beans on the side. Like I said, I love this place, but this experience doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence. Hopefully next time I come in it's better!
