13 Best Mexican Restaurants in Carmichael

“Great food, friendly staff great atmosphere“

“Generous portions, perfectly cooked shrimp, and flavors that hit every note, pure magic! This restaurant is my mom's favorite (she and her bestie are regulars), and I was lucky enough to catch them before they left so I could place a to-go order. My go-to test at any Mexican restaurant is the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (garlic butter shrimp), and I was thrilled to see it on the menu here. Ordering takeout is always a gamble since you're not at the restaurant if something isn't right but I believe quality should be consistent whether dining in or taking food to go. Thankfully, this place delivered in every way. The shrimp were succulent, large, not skimpy, and cooked perfectly. The garlic butter was rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the sautéed onions balanced it all out. Even the refried beans stood out (something many places surprisingly get wrong). The rice was fairly standard...on the drier side but when mixed with the beans and that delicious garlic butter from the shrimp, it turned into a whole new level of flavor. That's how I made my burritos (that's how I eat this plate, I have to wrap it all up in a flour tortilla. Let me tell you, it was absolute magic! Portions were generous, I could tell the meal was thoughtfully prepared, and every bite was pure satisfaction. The only downside was the styrofoam packaging (I'm not a fan of that), but it didn't take away from how incredible the food itself was. This restaurant easily earns my seal of approval. I'll definitely be ordering from here again because when I say the food was amazing with a capital A, I mean it!“

“Amazing food! Best tacos in Sacramento. Owner Shane was really great to speak with. He and his food exude passion. You must try The Char Market! 🌮“

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.“

“Good food and service. We’ll be back.“

“The best BBQ! I love this place“

“The Sushi is some of the best I’ve had in the area. My husband’s beef Chimichanga was excellent as well- the beef very flavorful. We topped it all off with the most amazing churros we have ever had. Seriously a great dining experience. I highly recommend!!“

“Excellent food, great service! I have been here several times and have not been disappointed! The complimentary little bowl of mangos with Tajin sprinkled over it, the fresh, authentic & delicious food (love the Chile en Nogada🤩❤️) and the Tamarind Margaritas are all delicious!“

“Love the chorizo breakfast burrito.

Since under new management I've become absolutely addicted to the mini asada tacos. I could eat them every day and I've just about have this last week. So beyond amazing!! Today they also put in a toasted pepper for the first time. So good. Hooked on it now too.“

“The food has gotten much better here than when they first opened. The Birria tacos are excellent, as is the soup, but with summer coming up, my go-to is tacos al pastor or street tacos, as some of the bigger items on the menu can be a bit heavy.There is a huge selection on the salsa bar - Jalapeños and Carrots, Creme Salsa, Pico de Gallo, Tomatillo Salsa, sometimes radishes, limes, Chipotle Salsa and an extra hot salsa.There is also a red sauce, a green sauce and a habanero sauce if you ask for it.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Burritos and Most items can be made vegetarian upon request.

Parking: About twenty spots and a round corner parking area where you can park and be a little further.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu has the same size Quesadilla as the adult one, with a drink, and beans and rice for less money.“

“Great food wonderful service.. Clean as well...“

“Today was my first time ordering anything from California Burrito. I walked in and the lady that greeted me and took my order was very nice. The Sausage and egg breakfast burrito is delicious. I know I'm not in the majority but the only thing I would charge would be the spiciness of the salsa, I need FIRE!“

“I come to this restaurant all the time, food comes out fast & I have yet to come across a ‘rude’ worker here ! I got rolled tacos this time & I swear it was the best rolled tacos I’ve ever had in my life , I ate them in 5 minutes flat no kidding !“
