The corn chips were great and the flour chips were fresh and warm! We had the taco salad with carne asada, a shredded beef taco, and an enchilada. I was stuffed afterwards. The meat was fantastic... the flavor and texture. The servings were generous. And the food came out quite quickly despite the restaurant being at least halfway full. Will definitely be back!

You're greeted with a welcoming environment featuring pan dulce, a little grocery store next door, and an extensive menu. The bar area was pretty busy too with many customers watching a game, fun! The cashier was friendly and had some candies for customers by the register--really tasty watermelon chili candy! We ordered the super burrito with chorizo and the pozole and while we waited we enjoyed the chips and salsa bar. I like that they have avocado salsa available, it's the best. Everything came out in a timely manner and was accompanied by real cane sugar mexican sodas in glass bottles. The pozole was quite yummy! This isn't a dish that is typically made well in restaurants but theirs was fairly good with the exception of a lot of bones but that is also typically expected with pozole. If left without the option to make it at home, Valencia's pozole may just be the next best option. The super burrito was just perfect. Absolutely satisfying and tasty. It's huge too so you can very easily get two meals out of it. I look forward to trying more of their menu, I'd definitely come back!

Savory and packed with flavor, the kind of breakfast that definitely wakes up this Rex! And I couldn't leave without taking uchepos to go. These are one of my absolute favorites! Soft, slightly sweet fresh-corn tamales served with crema, queso fresco, and salsa. That sweet-and-savory combination is perfection. If you know, you know. And if you don't, this is your sign to try them! Rex Tip: They recently expanded the whole place, and it's much bigger than it used to be! You've got the restaurant, grocery store, bakery, and carnicería all under one roof. Come for breakfast and leave with sweet bread, groceries, and probably a few extra goodies. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

Hearty, flavorful, and comforting, just like a good homemade Mexican soup should be. I've also enjoyed their wet burrito smothered in green sauce, a tamale without the red sauce on top, and a side of tamalito, a delicious sweet tamale! The perfect little treat to round out the meal. Everything is packed with flavor and keeps this hungry dino coming back for more! Now, this dino has traveled and experienced Casa Bonita in Colorado, and I'd call El Tapatío Citrus Heights' own little version! It's nowhere near as big or elaborate, but it has that same fun, immersive atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor gives the place so much character, making you feel like you've been transported straight to Mexico. Pair that with authentic food, and you've got a dining experience that's more than just a meal! Rex Tip: Come hungry on weekend mornings because they offer a Mexican breakfast buffet! There are so many delicious, authentic dishes to choose from, including freshly handmade tortillas! Just be prepared for a line because this place is popular, and for good reason. We've happily waited our turn because the food is absolutely worth it! A little taste of Mexico right here in Citrus Heights that's definitely worth digging into! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

As you enter the restaurant, it has the Mexican feel with dark wood accents tile floor, Mexican paintings, the staff had nice looking black uniforms with red ties looking very professional. We ate outside on the patio, which is beautiful and was much quieter. They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which is fabulous. It was so good that was almost lunch itself. I ordered a Carnitas burrito. The flavor was good. I will say it had a different flavor than other Carnitas that I've had at different Mexican restaurants. I also had it wet so it was smothered with enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce was also different as it was chunky. All very good. The burrito is quite large. I was able to take it home and got two more meals out of it. Brunch is still going on while we were there so my wife ended up getting the French toast which came with three huge slices and looked and taste delicious as well. Pricing was fair for the two of us two meals no cocktails was about $50. I'd be back again.

The Pork from the Grandma's Carnitas was marinated well and was very flavorful. They did a great job decorating the interior for Halloween. The bad It took almost 30 minutes for the soup appetizer to arrive and another 25 minutes for the Carnitas. I had to ask for silverware and someone from the table behind me finally got up, went to the server area and got their own silverware. After finishing my drink I wasn't asked for a refill, and had to stop another server just to get some napkins. When the food was dropped off I asked for lime and never received it. The couple in front waited so long for the server to get them to go boxes that they too went to the server area and rummaged around until they found to go containers.

I don't remember which burger we got but I know we added avocado and bacon. we got one burger and asked to split . The burger was so good and I absolutely loved the way they split it on two separate plates instead of serving it on one, they even split the fries for us! that was probably the most considerate thing ever! Most places will serve the burger on one plate cut in half and serve the fries on one plate too. It was a small thing that made a big difference! The sweet potato fries were perfect too!

I've been here once before and wasn't really impressed, but figured I'd give it another shot and see if it hit different this time. Honestly... it didn't. I had the chicken tacos and my cousin went with the menudo with hominy. Nothing was bad, it just didn't really stand out either. Kind of one of those meals where you eat it and forget about it on the drive home. You can tell they're trying, and I respect that, it just didn't come together for me. That said, service was great and the company was even better, so the experience itself wasn't a loss. Just one of those places where everything around the food was solid... but the food didn't quite match it.
