Food orders are a good portion. Ive come here for lunch and breakfast and the variety they offer are great. If you order at the register they are quick to have your food warm and ready. Horchata is also good. Plenty of seats inside. read more

My go to burrito spot in Natomas! I love this place - every time I come here its always consistent, I know what im getting and it always tastes incredible. I get the carne asada super burrito and lately have been loving the crunchy shrimp tacos. The salsa bar is usually also stacked with a bunch of salsa, pickled jalapeno, and other toppings. If you eat there you can grab chips at the salsa bar but they also give you the option to take it to go. They have coke, horchata, and jamaica for drinks. Highly recommend this place! read more

Today was my first--and last--time at Taqueria Rincón Alteño. The poor customer service started with Emily. I asked whether they had chips at the small cart. She looked at me, said nothing, and walked away. Minutes later, she returned holding an empty bag. Since this was my first visit, I didn't know where the chips were kept. When I asked again, she simply pointed behind me toward what looked like a heated display instead of politely explaining. I ordered quesabirria tacos, but I received a Styrofoam container with a soft tortilla and plain shredded beef. Confused, I went back and spoke with the young woman who had taken my order. She was very sweet and tried to help. When Emily was called over to correct the order, she approached with an unpleasant attitude and told the other employee, "Well, she didn't specify," as though I couldn't understand her. I immediately responded that I had specified, and thankfully, the employee who took my order confirmed that I had. We paid $38.87 for one special consisting of four crunchy tacos and another order containing one birria taco with rice and beans. In my opinion, the portions and quality were not worth the price. I'm originally from Michoacán and know what properly prepared birria should taste like. What I received tasted like plain, flavorless shredded meat--not authentic birria. Calling something "Mexican food" does not automatically make it authentic or good quality. Manager Anna, I hope you address both the customer-service issue and the food quality. Customers visiting for the first time should be treated with patience and respect, not dismissed or blamed when an employee makes a mistake. read more

We're looking for a Mexican spot for a burrito to go and came across this one on Yelp. It's about five minutes from the freeway. The restaurant is located on the corner with plenty of parking spots. There's plenty of seating inside. I ordered a regular Carne Asada burrito. They ask if you want pinto beans or refried beans. I opted for the Pinto beans for the traditional burrito taste. I didn't realize it till after, but they didn't ask me what type of salsa I wanted. To my surprise, they added pico de gallo in it which I wouldn't add. I noticed they had a salsa bar. I am headed over there while we waited to see what type they had. There was also a chip bin, but I wasn't offered any chips to go so I didn't grab any. I'm so glad I got some salsas because our burrito didn't have any at all. It would have been disappointing. I will say, It was a good sized burrito. The flavor was good. I really enjoyed the rice. It lacked meat though. I kept biting hoping to get to the meaty part. My husband got the super burrito and he said he didn't have much meat as well. read more

Ordered take out. I ordered a burrito and originally ordered flautas but they said their fryer wasn't working. The burrito was really good. I had a carne asada burrito with shrimp. We came on Monday and it's burrito Monday. I ended up getting an enchilada with asada ala carte. Inside was pretty busy, every table was taken. Staff are friendly. read more

WowWwww this place is delicious. We stopped here ordered our lingua tacos and carne Asada street tacos.. They were so delicious. And the food came out within a good amount of time and we did not have to wait. I like that they have chips that stay in a warm warmer so you can have chips and salsa so delicious. We will definitely be back again to get more food and try different things. read more

So I had a day off on a recent Monday and hadn't had lunch-I seemed to recall a relatively new deal a local taqueria was having in town,that seemed hard to believe so I decided to go check it out-I went to Taqueria Rincon Alteno in Natomas on Truxel Road. Parking there is pretty good-they have their own lot on the side of their building with limited spots but they also have a much bigger lot in the rear which they share with other businesses in their multi tenant shopping center. Once I parked I did notice the signs outside I'd seen earlier "Monday $8 Super or Regular Burritos"-that's what I was here for,so I headed inside and placed my order.I ended up going with a Super Carne Asada Burrito with refried beans,salsa,guacamole,sour cream,cheese and of course Carne Asada-I asked for the rice that comes with burrito to be served on the side,which they had no problem doing.This burrito ended up only costing me $8-so yes that deal is real-I was giddy. After ordering,they gave me a basket for chips,so I went to grab some chips and they are located in a little pantry dispenser thing located over by the salsa bar-10/10 in my book for for free chips.They had 5 or 6 salsa offerings-but my fav was the green-it was delicious-the wife prefers the milder red one,so different strokes I guess it's great they have many options to please everyone. It's a pretty big place-they have seating in their main room and they have a 2nd room that's available for customers to sit-not sure if that's always been there or they expanded but it's nice-that's where I sat. Now I will be honest,I buy a lot of burritos around town,out of town,basically everywhere I go-so when I saw the $8 burrito offer I kinda rolled my eyes and was like "it's probably some watered down version of their regular burritos,no way it's going to be the real deal right?"-WRONG-this was a huge burrito-same as I'd get any other day of the week-this thing was very nice-when I tell u I wrecked that thing,I truly mean I wrecked it-it was so good.The perfect mix of all the ingredients without the rice taking over,like most burritos was awesome-I enjoyed it very much. At $8 for this burrito-it has to be the best value in Sacramento that you will ever find for a Super Burrito-it's for sure the best value I've seen so far.They also have a pretty good special on Tuesday with $1.50 soft tacos and Wednesday with $3 for crispy tacos-but I haven't experienced those yet,but something tells me that will be happening sooner rather than later. In closing-I will say I left a very satisfied customer-a great meal at a great price-I think I will have to head back out there next Monday as well.So if you ever find yourself in Natomas on a Monday and want to experience this great deal on a Super Burrito-I'd check them out-u won't be disappointed-Taking one last look at their menu before I walked out-it's vast-so I'd imagine this place would be pretty great any other day of the week as well. PS-I forgot to mention,their Spanish rice was pretty good as well-a strong 8.5/10-great seasonings,perfect texture-what more can you ask for-Be Kind Out There. read more

Taquería Rincón Alteño - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Taqueria Rincon Alteño has been a staple for us for over 10 years, and that alone says a lot. Through all that time, the quality has never changed--same comforting flavors, same hearty portions, same consistency that keeps us coming back. That said, there's a right way to order here, and it makes a huge difference. Do yourself a favor and order the chimichanga instead of the regular super burrito. The chimichanga is where this place really shines. The tortilla is grilled to absolute perfection--crispy on the outside, warm and structured on the inside, never soggy or greasy. It holds everything together and adds that extra layer of flavor and texture that elevates the entire meal. We've had the super burrito plenty of times over the years, and while the ingredients are always solid--fresh, filling, and flavorful--the standard tortilla just doesn't showcase the fillings the same way once it's wrapped and sitting. The chimichanga completely fixes that. Adding something personal here: my wife is pregnant, so food timing, comfort, and quality matter even more than usual. When you've been coming to a place for over a decade, you trust it--and this meal delivered that familiar, satisfying comfort we were hoping for. The sauces are flavorful, the fillings are generous, and the consistency over the years is what truly sets this place apart. It's rare to find a spot that doesn't cut corners over time, and Rincon Alteño hasn't. Final tip: Longtime customer here. Skip the regular super burrito. Get the chimichanga. read more

Taquería Rincón Alteño - Chimmi!!!? - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

Service was quick Food arrived quickly 5/5 Quesadilla suiza carne asada - large tortilla folded to perfection with deliciously flavored meat and no fatty chewy pieces. Cheese was melted & plentiful. Guac & sour cream portions on the side were generous. 5/5 Chile relleno -perfect cheese to salsa to breading ratio. Cheese was melted perfectly with a nice little cheese pull action. Under $6 a la carte which is totally reasonable. 4/5 salsa bar - crema salsa was a little watery 4/5 Menudo - lots of tripe but could use a little more hominy but not an issue. 4/5 Eggs, chorizo & potato burrito. Really good sized & good flavor. Total meal around $47 before tip. Inside was empty with moderate pleasant Mexican music playing. This will definitely be in our rotation!! read more

Listen... I found the best Taco Tuesday in Sacramento! These $1.50 tacos are dangerous. Carne asada packed so full I had to question the laws of physics. Carnitas so tender I almost wrote them a thank-you card. And somehow they're handing them over in record speed with a smile like they've been waiting all day just to feed me. No fancy décor, no mood lighting--just tables, chairs, and the smell of sizzling meat doing all the work. And honestly, that's perfect. Because when tacos taste this good, who needs anything else? Taco Tuesday here isn't just a deal--it's a life choice. read more

I have gone to this place since it opened. Never have I been disappointed. What keeps me coming back is they're cooked to the crisp then topped with cheese, chicken crispy tacos. I always add the sour cream jalapeño salsa on top. Amazing. The staff is always friendly, they ensure the salsa bar is always stocked. The chips have are stored in a warming that a few people often tend to think it's a toaster. In door seating has a Spanish theme to it. The chairs are aluminum the benches are made of wood. Being a seat cushion if you're seeking comfortable chair. I personally go for the food which never disappoints. My kids love the steak asada plate or the burritos. I use to live in the area. It was like an every spot my family and I use to go to. I'm back living in the Bay Area and tend to find any excuse to visit Sacramento just for these tacos. read more

Longtime Natomas resident, but somehow only recently came in to Taqueria Rincon Alteno for a weekday lunch per another local's suggestion. She had been there before years ago and remembered liking it so much that the recent craving was real. I got a combo with three items, a chicken enchilada, a crispy lengua and crispy cabeza taco, rice and beans and added an horchata to complete the meal. Chips and salsa were complimentary and their salsa verde seemed to be the most popular. I may come back for one of those 18" burritos! read more

Ouch this one's hard! I was here when this place first opened and was quite a regular. I have a lot of great memories with my son here. It's been a while since I've been here. However, this is the third time that I came and it just wasn't what it used to be for me. If you order anything here, get the crispy tacos they are the best by far. They've never changed really good. Service is always good. The place is big. They opened up the second side, which is nice and they have a lot of area seating outside. My problem is tonight is the first night that I was met with lower than expected expectations One please note you will be paying for chips. When I asked if you want chips, the person at the register didn't say I'd be charged that's number one also for dining in being charged for chips. I don't know why anyone would charge for chips; but that's a huge turn off for me no matter the price I'm sad to say I don't know that I'll come back here except for when my mom wants to come because she really likes their crispy tacos Today I got flautas 2 -5 I was disappointed by the size. It definitely has changed. The beans and rice with it we're good. I did want to ask her for a flower tortilla, but I wasn't sure what they would charge me for it. I will say this the water is amazing. It's really good. It's so funny because I was thinking it and then I was told it as we were sitting there eating. I was sitting there, disappointed that I was gonna rate them 4 stars because as I said, this use to be 5 stars. What happened to make it go down to A 3 star was my husband ordered the chimichanga burrito with wet sauce over it. We thought there might've been a mistake. Maybe we got the wrong order. Maybe we ordered wrong even though I knew I did not but all in all when he took the burrito up they said they don't fry it. I'm sorry that's just not a chimichanga. For a $50 bill - I really expect for more than just my water to taste good. Hopefully, in the future, they take some of those fees away. I know for me I would be upset if I would've ordered some other food that I seen that people got charged for as far as they charged for. Birria sauce. Prices are decent, but I'm sad to say I did not want to give this review read more

Taquería Rincón Alteño - Chicken super burrito - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

First time trying this place out. So for the service ; The gentleman with the blue hair taking our order was disrespectful and acted like he didn't want to be there. I asked him to please repeat something for me and he rolled his eyes and started speaking uncomfortably loud and snarky. Made me laugh it was so uncalled for . And for the food: our burritos were terrible. We couldn't finish them. It was just a massive amount of refried beans and extremely salty poorly seasoned pastor and " grilled " chicken. You couldn't pay me money to eat at this place again . I can't believe they charge so much for food this bad. I'm not exaggerating, this is one of the worst Mexican restaurants in Sacramento . Hands down 0/10 Would not recommend , will never go back. read more

This burrito was massive! I think it was reasonably priced at $12.71 for the super burrito option. It was pretty filling but it was just alright in my option. I got the marinated steak super burrito. The rice and beans were pretty bland and the meat wasn't as seasoned as I would've liked. They also charged an extra $0.54 for lettuce which should have been included in my opinion. This burrito was definitely filling but I've had better burritos at other places. read more

This taqueria was located very close to the hotel I stayed at so I decided to walk over and check it out. I mean, it's a taqueria. I ordered a chicken burrito and it was tasty. Not amazing, but not terrible. I felt the amount I paid matched with what I ate. Staff was friendly. Atmosphere was kinda meh... but, again, it's a taqueria.

Came to enjoy a shrimp cocktail and one of my favorite crispy chicken tacos With an ice cold Michelada. This is definitely my go to when it comes to crispy chicken tacos.

Food is always made fresh to order & comes to the table quick and service is always great. read more

Me and my boyfriend went on a Friday night. The ambiance is all right nothing fancy. They have a salad bar full of different salsas and you pay for chips which are .50. The food seems like homemade Mexican food. I tried the pozole and my boyfriend got the steak fajitas plate which comes with meat stir fried with bell peppers and onions, tortillas, rice, guacamole, and beans. My pozole came with cabbage, onions, and 4 tostadas. It only had a little bit of meat which kind of disappointing. It was pretty spicy but it was good. The cashiers are friendly and they bring out the food very fast. We've gone there a couple of times and they always give big portions for the price and everything is good. read more

I went here last night around 8:50pm and ordered regular asada nachos as I usually do. But, this time it was bad. The nachos were covered with heavy guacamole and sour cream to where you couldn't even see the chips. Once I started to mix the sour cream and guacamole I notice that my nachos were mostly whole bean nachos instead of Asada nachos. I want to say there was probably about 10 small pieces of asada. It's a shame that they were dishonest with a lack of integrity when making the food. If they did not have enough asada they could have told me and I would have changed the meat or ordered something else. With inflation they should be happy that loyal customers are still willing to come out and spend money in fast food! As for environment they had a homeless guy passed out in the bathroom and the fire department had to come get him out. So be careful letting your family use their restroom. Sadly I've been coming here since 2019 and this experience has made me not want to return. read more

Time for an update! Tried them again last night for dinner since I had a 530 appt at my vet's office next door. I ordered online so I would not have to wait and scheduled it for 5:15. Didn't realize there was a $1.75 convenience fee til after I paid but it gives you 7% rewards to use later that slightly exceeded it. I arrived at 5:20 and not only was it not ready, it was not started til I got there. It took less than ten minutes for them to make it which should have been a sign. I ordered 2 birria tacos, super burrito and super nachos for $37. Birria has become very popular recently so I like to try how different places make it. Do NOT get them here. They were not authentic and they charge an extra $2 for the consume dip. Most places it comes with at least a small side of it. They also put rice and salsa inside it which ruins the whole texture. Little cheese and no flavor. The shell was super soggy when it should be crisp. It was so bad that we both had two bites and threw it away. The burrito was hefty but meat was scarce for $12. It was mostly rice and beans. The nachos were also just eh. Hardly any cheese. I asked for sour cream on the side and there was none. The only saving grace is that their chips and salsa bar is pretty good. I like the variety and freshness. The place is clean and the staff are generally nice. I always prefer to support the small business but I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Very disappointed! read more

Use to be my favorite place. Younger staff are not very helpful, a bit rude actually and have a hard time answering simple questions.

Been coming to this spot for about 4 years now. It was great, but I'm shocked about the quality it has been in their food... I've ordered two super burritos with everything in it and have AL PASTOR with it. I was shocked about it once I took 5 big bites. No meat nothing but plain rice and plain beans. Half way down the burrito still no meat and I can taste little bit of Qouc and sour cream and no meat yet. Almost 1/3 left is when there was some Al pastor meat.... I'd say only 5% meat in this burrito.. you can't expect to charge more but quality went down... I won't be returning back. There are more taqueria out there that beats this quality any day. Same thing happen to 2nd burrito and it's a super. Either the chef back there is new or they skimping. By far the WORST SUPER BURRITO IVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE. Here's a photo below. read more

Burritos today's for lunch with the co-worker. Food was great, place was clean, prices were pretty good. Waitress was super friendly and cleaned the table before we sat down.

I've been here a few times over the years, before and after the pandemic. In all that time, the food quality and quantity have stayed consistent. If you want good, hearty, no frills Mexican food, Taqueria Rincon Alteno is the spot to go in Natomas. I've been here for lunch and dinner. It gets busy at lunch so I prefer coming in for a later dinner when it isn't so crowded. So far, I've tried their carnitas and carne asada both in burritos and their dinner platters. Their whole beans are cooked exactly how I like them, still a little firm and with very little liquid. The rice is perfectly fluffy each time. I had their posole on a cold, rainy day and it hit the spot. On my last visit, I had their carne asada nachos. At first I thought there was no way I could eat the whole thing, but I underestimated myself. The toppings were generous without turning the whole thing into a soggy mess. The guacamole was outstanding. I will definitely be back for this. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Service was good. Our order was taken promptly and our food came out shortly thereafter. TRA is located in a strip mall next to an Indian market and Filipino restaurant. Parking was plentiful. I will most definitely be back for the posole and the nachos. read more

This is a quick and decent Mexican food place in Northern Sacramento. The inside has some seating but probably better to-go. The menu is fairly complete. The salsa bar has a decent selection and the chips are in a self serve warmer. My only issue was the bragging on Yelp of how this was so much better than the others. The food was good but didn't stand out above other places. But comments just lead to too much hype that this place couldn't live up to. Just to be clear there is nothing wrong with the food. The staff was great for the 10 minutes I was there. If staying in the area again I may return. But I would not pass multiple places to come here. read more
