    Asada super burrito 14
    Kat V.

    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!

    Love this burrito truck! Their food is always delicious and service is great. Never once had a complaint about this food truck.

    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

    Came a little after lunch time during the week. Was seated by the friendly hostess immediately. We…read morecame for taco Tuesday where the tacos are $1.50 each. They are on the smaller side even for street tacos they seemed small but the flavor was bomb! And for that price it's a great deal! The place is lively with colorful art on the wall. Great vibe, good service and bomb food.

    The food tasted good. We ordered a mixture of boneless wings, burger, salad, fries and tacos…read more The service was the reason for the three stars. We waited at the hostess stand for at least 3 minutes before any staff came out of the back kitchen to help us, just to tell us we could sit anywhere. No menus were brought to us, so we went back to the hostess stand to get our own menus. After another 5 minute wait our server asked us if we were ready for drinks and of course we placed our order then. One entree came out before the appetizers, it was just a cluster of food coming out at different times. The two servers were not attentive to any of the customers on our side of the room. We wanted ketchup for our fries, but we ate most of them before we could even ask. When we were obviously done eating our food for over 10 minutes a different server asked us if we needed anything and we asked for a box and check, which she brought out quickly. Very unfortunate to have this bad of customer service in the small town that we live in.
