I always order a bacon breakfast burrito. All ingredients are fresh and come out hot because it was just freshly made. Will be back in a few days to try something else off the menu. Service is quick and friendly.

Birria Ramen is full of meat & noodles. The cilantro, onion, and lime were on the side. The temperature was piping hot!

Wait... Taco Exxpress has been here for how long and I am finally trying a piece of Heaven? What's wrong with me? Located in Rocklin on Granite & Rocklin Drive, Taco Express stands out with its brought colors. The send most notable thing was the drive-thru. As you pull in and go through the parking lot, closest to the corner is the beginning of the drive-thru. There is a menu with many many options. Since it was the weekend, menudo and pozole are available. I couldn't tell if there was seating inside but there is definitely seating outside! Jenita was craving a taco salad with carnitas. I didn't see it on the menu (it could've been there, I was rushing through and my eyes may not have caught it). They put refried beans in it as she wanted, along with sour cream, guacamole, and melted cheese in a crispy flour tortilla. She also got a jamica augua fresca. I decided to go with the birria ramen. Lovely consummé, filled with ramen noodles and lots of beef. You can't rush delicious food, so there was a little bit of a wait. The man at the window was polite and worked fast! Great customer service! When we got back to Jenita's, I set her up with her taco salad. I sat next to her and we ate out of our Styrofoam containers. By the time we got back, set her up, and took my pictures, about 20 minutes had gone by since we got our food and my birria ramen was still too hot too eat, but that was a great thing! They serve piping hot food!!! Jenita said her taco salad with carnitas was delicious. My birria ramen was so good! So good, that I wanted to go back and get more food, but I'm going to be patient and look forward to my next visit!

TORTA is Good!

This place is a good stop right off the freeway. If I'm ever in the area again, I will swing by, they lose a star because they dont have any healty options like a salad but that's okay. Im cool with that. The place has a restaurant vibe but a fast food experience. The service was good and I would recommend going there if you are near.

I ordered breakfast burritos for my son and I. I ordered the chorizo burrito. I asked them to cut it in half. I took a bite out of one side and pulled out A USED BAND-AID!! I called them and they wanted to remake my burrito. Absolutely not.

Ive been a patron of this location for about 3 years. Ive only had one other issue besides the one that I am writing about today, and that was about a year ago I ordered grilled chicken on my food and it was raw. But THIS..this experience is the thing that will prevent me from ever visiting this location or potentially any location again. I ordered Loaded fries with grilled chicken and when I turned the light on and saw my food, the fries were literally grey! It was dreadful. Not only did the few bites I ate cause me to throw up continuously that night, I was sick for days afterwards and had to go to the ER to get IV fluids and anti nausea meds. Experiences like this are why I have a strict "no take-out in the dark" policy because imagine if I kept eating before turning the light on . I literally could have died. Potatoes leak a poison called solanine that is so toxic it will kill you in large quantities. Something has gone very wrong at this place so I won't ever be back.

We had the Roberts Sausalito Scramble: spinach, bacon, scrambled eggs, shrooms & Croutons?, topped with blue cheese crumbles. Odd combo, but it all worked together, probably could have skipped the croutons. Mrs had the Joe's veggie 1/2 Benedict with excellent house grated hash browns well done. I opted for the Home Fried Potatoes,w/bell pepper & onions. The hash browns were the winner of those two. Benedict was pretty standard with a generous amount of avocado & a slice of grilled red onion under the egg. We slipt one of the massive Grandma's Biscuits with whipped butter, amazing, could be a full meal by itself. Friendly server's and bussers, which we noticed made the service seemless as they worked in tandem to assure everyone was taken care of, coffee refills, extra napkins, food brought out quick,water & creamer reload,etc. Open 6:30 to 2pm and some excellent looking sandwich, burger, salad,keto, vegetarian options for lunch. Tiny parking lot adjacent was jam packed, but there is street parking & some spots around back. Worth a stop.

The décor is adorable, cozy, and welcoming, with sweet little touches that make it feel homey. I had the bacon cheeseburger, and it was cooked just right--flavorful, juicy, and satisfying. I paired it with a fruit cup that was fresh and well-portioned, with strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and orange slices. Everything tasted great, and even though I couldn't finish it all, it definitely hit the spot. Would absolutely stop by again if I'm in the area. A cute, comforting place for a casual bite!

No funky, metal or weird taste. 4) all the food dishes we ordered were good. Cafe mocha drink was good. 5) server was nice and professional.

Conclusion Cute and clean little restaurant. Nice large parking lot with plenty of parking. I only saw one person working in the front with us. She was very nice. Our foods were all good. Bathroom was clean. Not too bad here

I really wanted to enjoy my experience at Mimosa House, but unfortunately, it missed the mark…read more The biggest issue was the service. I've never had a server spill on me twice during the same meal--and after the second spill, she handed me a towel to clean myself up. There was little acknowledgment or accountability, which made an already awkward situation even more disappointing. We also ordered the Mimosa Flight Bouquet, but none of the flavors were identified when it arrived. We were left guessing which mimosa was which, which took away from what should have been a fun experience. I initially ordered the roasted rosemary potatoes, but they were undercooked and overloaded with large slices of bell peppers and onions. I decided to order something else, but then the waitress forgot to bring the juice that accompanies the mimosa. She brought the champagne, but no juice. We reminded her, and it still took additional time to receive it. Overall, the food was just okay. Out of our party of six: * The El Dorado omelet was good, although it was served warm rather than hot. * The bacon and ham skillet was enjoyed. * The chorizo maple skillet reminded me of a McDonald's breakfast with eggs--not something I'd order again. Everyone has an off day, and mistakes happen. What made this experience disappointing was the lack of communication, ownership, and effort to make things right. I hope this was just an isolated experience because the restaurant has potential.

They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes.

We were also considering buying a large potted Japanese maple tree. Unfortunately, our experience at the restaurant was completely ruined by our waiter. It was around 3 p.m. and getting close to closing time, so I understand the staff probably wanted to finish up for the day. But from the moment our waiter came to the table, his attitude was rude and unprofessional. He asked if we were ready to order and then bluntly told us that everyone was waiting for us. While taking our order, I asked a simple question about whether the rotisserie chicken pizza had cheese on it. Instead of just answering, he responded sarcastically, basically saying, "Yes, it says it right on the menu. Look." That set the tone for the rest of the meal. We ordered the rotisserie chicken pizza and an artichoke pizza. The chicken pizza arrived within about five minutes and was only warm, while the second pizza came roughly 20 minutes later piping hot. I can't say what happened with the first pizza, but the difference was noticeable like it was from a cancelled order or something. The worst part came near the end. The waiter brought our check while we were still eating, then started abruptly clearing plates from the table even though we had not finished. It felt like he was trying to push us out as quickly as possible. I don't expect over-the-top service, especially near closing time, but I do expect basic courtesy. Customers should not be made to feel like an inconvenience simply because the staff wants to go home. The nursery and olive oil tasting were great, but the waiter completely changed our impression of the place. What could have easily been a 5-star visit turned into a very disappointing experience because of the way we were treated. Because of that rude waiter I'm giving 1 star, only because there is no option for zero!

If you like crispy tater tots and heavy mayo-based sauces in your breakfast burrito, this one isn't for you. But if you just want a classic burrito with plenty of bacon, good melted cheese, perfect ratio of egg/meat/potato, get the David's wrap. Price was reasonable too. It's not the biggest burrito but not the smallest either. To be honest, I was a little turned off at first. Not because it was in a gas station (that actually gives me higher expectations), but because I asked for the burrito and was given one premade out of the warmer. Also, maybe I didn't look around very much, but I didn't see any salsa. When I got home and tried it though, it was pretty perfect. Tortilla maybe a little burnt, but besides that perfect. Luckily I had a good hot runny salsa at home which works perfect for breakfast burritos. I'll be back next time and ask if they have salsa though - that would push it to 5 stars (if the salsa is good I guess).
