    Large super nachos (comes with ground beef) hold the jalapeños, $5.99. Small strawberry shake $2.89. 3-6-2022

    Anyone from the south bay area (within Santa Clara or Alameda Counties) knows about Taco Bravo. Taco Bravo Campbell holds a special place in my heart. The ingredients FRESH. The service CONSISTENT. The place had character and the price was right. Taco Tree brings out the best of Taco Bravo sans the late night party crew. Taco Tree embellishs the Taco Bravo experience by adding a functional and clean indoor dining area and much more hospitable facilities. Haha. The cashier guided me right. A super nacho (has ground beef) order was plenty for me. I do hope that next time I come with someone so I can share the super nachos and order a taco and add black olives because that's the epitome of the Taco Bravo experience, for me. I'll share that the strawberry shake was ok. Reasonable price. But, next time I'll go for a corn syrup. I mean, soda. I really wish they had horchata here. That'd be awesome. The salsa packets were handy and tasty enough. I had to laugh because there's a mild salsa basket and a hot salsa basket but they were all the same. Ha! Anyhow, Taco Tree is an excellent fresh fast food joint. Do stop by. Then get your car washed at the touchless car wash next door.

    When in Auburn, taco tree is the place to be. Great prices, delicious food and the taco sauce packets are the best that fast food has to offer. I wish there were more of these not in Auburn, but also not... because I feel like people might ruin it...

    This place is a trip. Definitely wouldn't call it Mexican even though the staff is representing fully Mexican. It's like a whitewashed Taco Bell, which isn't bad! Just saying, don't expect a legitimate authentic taco or Mexican food if you come here. The menu is somewhat limited in that they only have two meat options: ground beef and chicken. I got two ground beef tacos and the super nachos. The nachos were awesome. I love these kind of nachos. They included beans, ground beef, tomatoes, sour cream, green onions, black olives, and some salsa. These nachos are simple, but great tasting. Same goes for the tacos: simple, but great tasting. The tacos had cheese, lettuce, ground beef, and sour cream. That's it. So, overall, this place isn't going to bash you over the head with flavor. In fact, the flavor is pretty minimal. But, I do have an appreciation for minimal flavors that deliver some consistent good food. Besides, as a person who gets heart burn quite easily, I frequently go to the simple flavors without a bunch of spice. I'll return for the nachos! Not sure about everything else.

    nachos. need more cheese tho

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Not sure how answer as there are two locations of Taco Tree in child friendly Auburn, California! If this the location walkable of Forgotten Soldier Park, there are some outside benches! I have seen people with doggies, regular pet doggies,… 

    Drive through available?

    Yes, two speakers so it moves along quickly

I am usually here for tacos, but I ordered the tortilla soup, while my friend ordered the Shrimp Mazatlán, those shrimp enchiladas are the best I have ever had! The restaurant is always busy, and this Saturday night was no exception. The only booth available was in the bar area, which was perfectly fine with us. Our server worked at a good pace and never made us feel rushed. They were also already getting everything set up for Sunday morning brunch. Until recently, it had been over a year since I had eaten here. I still love the colorful decor, and the service is just as awesome as I remember, although there are a lot of new faces now. Our food came out very quickly, but unfortunately, the tortilla soup was honestly horrible, lol. This was the first time I've ordered something here that I genuinely didn't like. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and clearly grilled, but the rest of the soup just didn't taste good to me. I wonder if it was because they added pico de gallo? Besides the chicken and pico, it contained tortilla strips and some type of cheese throughout. I let our server know, and he seemed to agree that adding pico might be the reason the tortilla soup isn't a customer favorite. I appreciated that he listened and was honest about it. I already know the Shrimp Mazatlán is delicious because it's one of my favorites. However, now that I'm finally coming back after being away for more than a year, I've made it my goal to branch out and try more items on the menu. The tortilla soup may have been a miss for me, but one disappointing dish definitely isn't enough to keep me from returning. El Tapatio has taken Auburn by storm and is easily one of the #1 restaurants up here.... from trying their tacos and their enchiladas... their margaritas and great service from the host stand all the way up to Ivan, who I see managing every time I go... I absolutely urge you to come here and meet me here tomorrow for brunch to see what is so about!

My man friend had stressed how good it was but I was still very pleasantly surprised and GRATEFUL to have experienced such a delicious meal and experience myself because it was incredibly mouth wateringly delicious! It's a family owned business, the service was just as amazing as the food was. Very welcoming just truly an amazing restaurant that you must try especially if you like Mexican food! I ordered a chicken taquito ranchero plate I can't recall the exact name and my partner ordered the seafood fajitas... the portions were ginormous... incredibly satiating! I ate as much as my belly could squeeze in before I had to tap which is not a problem because I'm experiencing the yum again today with my leftovers that taste just as flavorful as yesterday!!! The seasonings and spice were just perfect. The prices were great as well... for both of our meals with sodas the total with tax was under $60 and worth every penny!!!! I will definitely be a returning fan

    This restaurant knows how to cook meat and make them super yummy…read more Had the Mulita with carne asada, Taco with Al Pastor, and Baja Fish Taco. The Baja Fish Taco came with breaded fish, shredded cabbage, and chipotle sauce in two corn tortillas. Fish was fresh and not fishy; had a nice crispy coating. Good ratio between the fish and tortilla. Chipotle sauce was mildly spicy; just enough kick. Sauce tasted like sun dried tomato with a little hint of tobacco sauce. The Mulita was good. It's basically a soft taco but the two corn tortillas were not folded in half. It's like a tortilla sandwich. The carne asada was very tasty; char grilled flavor. The seasonings blended really well with each other and almost tasted like meat braised in peppers, onions, and paprika. One downside, very oily. The Taco with Al Pastor meat had the citrusy sweet flavor of pineapple and spices. It had an orange sauce which was slightly spicy and tomatoey. Was also yummy. They have a huge menu with 15 meat choices to choose from. And despite offering a variety of dishes, they maintain both quality and yummy factor. Menu includes salad, breakfast and tortas. Fountain drinks, bottle drinks and horchatas for drinks. Free chips and salsa bar with at least 5 salsas to choose from: creamy jalapeno, habanero, 2 reds and a tomatillo. Big dining area. Nice friendly staff. Even though it's a sit yourself type of resto, the staff are going around to check on the diners if they need anything or to take empty plates away. Good deal for the price, portion, quality and yummy factor.
