    Chile Relleno
    Jared H.

    The birria tacos were delicious! The meat was very tender and flavorful. The serving size was generous as there was a lot of meat. The chile relleno was scrumptious and the serving size was also generous. The salsa bar is small, however there were more unique salsas such as habanero and pineapple sauce, avocado sauce, and pickled onions. Service was good as the workers were friendly.

    So far so good. Inside is cute and has a nice bar. Got a breakfast burrito, asada super burrito and two street tacos. Everything delish, if you can't handle spicy you better let them know when you order though.

    Something has changed with this restaurant not sure if it's the quality or the cook. Seems like the price went up, but the quality went down. Ordered a Carnitas super burrito. All of the meat was burnt and it was overloaded with onions. Also, the chips look like they're from a bag and not great quality.

    Seating and bar area

    My husband and I moved from the Bay Area and it's hard to find good taco places out in Elk Grove. On our drive we found the taco truck for Tacos El Ahijado on Twin Cities Rd years ago. Their tacos are some of the best. Taco truck would close at 5 but often times they have taken our order even if we arrive right at or after 5. Customer service has always been excellent no matter who is working. Now I find out that the restaurant has opened right in the same location as the truck parks. We checked it out and the place is small but clean and it works. Plenty of seating. Sign said it fits 42? Seating at the bar too. Tables with chairs and booths. Nice music, not too loud. They have a self serve salsa bar and we were given free chips. Food is as good in the restaurant as it is in the taco truck. Asada tacos are $3 each and I also got an horchata for $3. Tacos are authentic street tacos and come with onions, cilantro, and salsa. Garnish on the side of radish and lime. Restaurant is open every day 8 am to 9 pm and they take cards too. Taco truck is open till 5 pm and they close on Sundays. They take cash only. And I don't remember them offering chips. Either way highly recommend both. Have yet to have a bad experience or long wait. Forgot to take pictures of tacos because I was hungry and I devoured them.

    Carnitas taco & asada taco
    Gillian A.

    Got an asada taco and a carnitas taco. The asada didn't have much flavor to it and was a little tough. There was some sweet salsa on top that was a bit overpowering over the bland asada. The carnitas, though, was tasty, had a slight crisp to it, and complemented well with the same salsa. Not a must-go taco truck, but if you're in the area and need a taco kick getting some carnitas tacos here ain't a bad choice at all.

    Stopped by today at 9am to think they weren't going to be open but they were all ready to go! Food came out within 10 minutes fresh! This place is the closest you are going to get to some authentic Mexican food within a 15 mile radius. Wish they had some more options but I can't complain for a truck that is so convenient and authentic.

    Carne Asada tacos are the best I've ever had. Amazing tasty spiced to perfection!

    Amazing tacos! Every time Im back from Reno I take the 99 just so I can have the best authentic Mexican taco truck food I've ever had.

    WOW. WOW. WOW. I ran across this truck the first week I was in town-and went back three times during that week. This truck is a PLEASURE to have in Galt. First off there are a lot of places claiming they sell "tacos" but THIS truck sells delicious tacos. I have tried all of he tacos and each one is good in its amazing way. Their tacos are legit tacos (two tortillas loaded with fillings so much that the fillings spill over into the decadent second tortilla ultimately making one taco TWO tacos!). Oh I could go on and on. Decent prices and great service.

    Super (Amazing) Burrito

    Score! What a find! So happy to have found this gem of a restaurant right off the good ole 99…read morehighway. No fancy frills. No false intentions. Just simply some super delicious Korean yum yums! It's a small little restaurant, humble for sure, with a nice well stocked bar. I have not yet checked out the course so no yelping about that. Most Golf course type restaurants are rarely busy, so walking in to see it slow was no surprise or concern. Asked for a suggestion, was suggested the spicy pork...done. I love spicy pork! Daijee bulgogi, if you will. Everything came out on one plate we had the meat, some rice and a super delicious FRESH green salad. Lovely lady who brought it out noticed I was Korean and smiled and asked if I wanted some Kim chi, duh right? She brought out some really good Kim chi along with Dam muji (daikon). Really loved this place. In fact, I'm taking my whole family back here day after tomorrow. My wife looooooooves Don katsu, and they have it on the menu so...you know. Happy wife, happy life! :) See you soon!!

    If i could leave a negative or zero i would. Stopped by our first time there today. The place is…read moreold, dark and looks dirty all around. To top it off the man at the counter was extremely, rude, judgmental and un-inviting. We stopped by to feel the vibes and have some lunch, but quite frankly i wouldn't recommend this place. Specially the customer service was awful. He was rude when asking simple questions. Place looks dirty and smells weird, I would not eat the food there.
