19 Best Mexican Restaurants near Cool

“Always pleased with this establishment very good carnitas. I give it an A+
What made the carnita so darn good was not just the flavor there's not just one thing, it's all delicious.
And I can't forget adding the chips they are perfectly cooked for the salsa. I'm getting hungry just writing this review.“

“In a world full of chain restaurants, places like Flaming Burrito deserve to be celebrated. If you are anywhere near Auburn and have not been here yet, you are seriously missing out. This is the kind of local gem people hope to find — amazing food, wonderful people, and a meal you will be thinking about long after you leave.

I ordered the Tenaya Burrito, and honestly, it was one of the best burritos I have ever had. It came as a wet burrito covered in the most incredible enchilada mole sauce. I was raving to my husband (who got the gigante), throughout the meal, at how impressive the flavors were - rich, yet perfectly balanced, and completely unforgettable.

The salsas were just as impressive — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every part of the meal felt homemade and thoughtfully prepared, not just thrown together.

The owners are some of the sweetest people, so attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. Also - cash is king people!“

“stopped here when passing through auburn and it was incredible! the service is so friendly and it seems like everyone else who came in was a regular. chips and salsa were 11/10 and same for the veggie burrito. we will definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“El Tapatio restaurant in Auburn showcases the very best of Mexican food. I've tried many restaurants and taquerias in northern and southern California, and El Tapatio outshines them all. Their menu is large and offers everything from typical dishes like enchiladas, tacos, and carne asada to more exotic ones like pollo a la crema or aguachiles. This food is made with love.“

“El Agave just catered my wedding. It was a small gathering, taco bar for 50 people. We picked it up and served it in chafing dishes. ALL of our guests raved over the food. 3 meats and all of the fixings. From the initial communication with Andrea to the food pickup, you guys were amazing!“

“Maria's Mexican Tacos is the best! And I've had burritos from all over California and love this place. The carnitas are always perfectly crisped, the tortilla is nicely grilled toasty and the salsa is spicy. Great whole beans.“

“The food was good, average for a Mexican diner. The drinks were cold and strong, it was quiet, and cool. We with family meeting all together In the middle of a heatwave, and looking for a place away from the heat where we could hear each other and sit comfortably. If this was a great spot. We checked out several of the other establishments which seemed a little higher end none of them had strong AC and all seemed hard to hear each other. This was the perfect little place to meet.“

“Some of my Potato wedges were lil cold maybe from being to thick and came out of fryer to soon...was supposed to come with cheese sauce ...just had to remind them..no biggie..only reason four stars...the taco was good.

“Joshua at Taco Bell gave amazing customer service. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything was right with my order. It’s rare to get service that good nowadays. Definitely deserves recognition for going above and beyond. 5 stars!“

“Love the staff. They make the best food and are down to earth and Kind to everyone. They keep a clean restaurant and they have a positive attitude.
They ran out of chicken the other day, the man working there made me something else even better than what I had ordered.
He is so very sweet. I hope everyone at Taco Bell knows how much better they made my week with how kind they are.“
