50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Elmira

“Chepo's makes great tamales. I love ordering them for family get-togethers , housewarming parties, or just for a night off from cooking. You can order beans and rice to go as well. I've tried the chicken, pork, and chile n cheese varieties. They have plenty of meat and are great warm.or cold.“

“We were driving between East Bay and Sac airport and found this place on line. After 9 years in the Bay Area, this may be the best Mexican food I have tasted in the Bay. Larry had carnitas enchiladas and I had an asada quesadilla. We will be back!!!“

“Good food,good customer service & nice ambiance if you like mexican food a must try place!“

“I was visiting from Texas and just happened to see this place from across the street. So glad we went in. Great service from amazing people. Food was excellent. Clean, clean, clean. We ordered the tacos, quesabirrias, and menudo. Tacos and Quesabirrias were great. Fresh ingredients ! I was skeptical about the menudo because everyone makes it different in Texas and it can have flavors you’re not ready for. Their menudo was great! Reminded me of my dad’s. Wish we had some of these in Texas.“

“Friendly staff, enjoyable ambiance and great tasting food. Only negative is chips are not warmed and on last two visits the food was not oven hot, only Luke warm.“

“Sure do me eating Vasquez Deli Food, it’s the best“

“The burrito is amazing. My 7 year olds quesadillas that she ordered was probably the best cheese quesadilla I’ve ever had. The owners are very nice, and while the prices are a little higher than what I planned to spend on dinner, i took one bite and knew it was worth it. $40 for a family of 3 isn’t bad though. You have to pay for chips but they are really good.“

“We got a few things today and they were all delicious! I got some carnitas tacos and the carnitas had a great flavor! My dad got the seafood cocktail and some Cabeza tacos and they were all fresh and delicious. The rice was a little lacking on flavor. But I understand you have to keep the sodium down for certain diet types.
We also got some cheese enchiladas to take home for my mom
And she said there were delicious too!!
Overall we would come again for sure!“

“Haven’t been there in a longtime and tonight our food was excellent as was our waitress. Carne Asada Al la Cabana was HUGE!!!“

“This is my all-time favorite place to eat! I live across the country now and the last time I visited Vacaville, I brought back 2 Shrimp Super Burritos in a cooler (with the tortilla on the side so it wasn’t soggy). I haven’t had El Patron in over a year now… I would sell my soul for a burrito.“

“My son took me to this food truck when I tell you the food is amazing 🤩 the food is AMAZING 🤤 the Birria tacos 🌮 I mean the best they give you nice size tacos they don't slack on the meat the beans and rice is amazing if you ever see this food truck I highly recommend you try them. Amazing customer service the food is cooked fresh and hot so be prepared to wait for amazing food. 5/5“

My family and I enjoy going there, the owners are also The chefs and they make sure everything is tasty like it supposed to be. Excellent food combined with excellent service. Thank you Valentinas ❤️“

“Great view of the waterfront from the outdoor patio. Best Mexican food in Solano County! Let me start with the salsa bar. I think I counted 8 different delicious variations. They serve the chips with salsa and refried beans!!!! Nice tasty touch!
We tried the Keto Taco, Asada Taco, Quesabirria Taco, Carnitas and beans and rice. Every bite was AMAZING! I can't rave enough. Please go taste the fluffiest rice and juicy carnitas. You will not be disappointed! GO!“

“We had three different dishes today and also the guacamole. Everything was delicious and authentic. We will definitely be coming back.“

“My grandfather always said you can tell a good place by how they greet you and how the coffee tastes—and Jacky’s nails both. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome and genuine smiles set the tone. The staff was not only friendly but also really helpful in guiding us through the menu. The food itself was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The homemade corn tortillas were a standout, and everything tasted authentic and fresh. Jacky’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar is the kind of place that makes you feel at home while serving up incredible food.“

“The best Mexican food I've ever had!Free chips and salsa, both the green and red are awesome.This was actually the first place I ever went after I left the hospital as a baby.I still go monthly if I can!Make sure to try the steak ranchero burrito, it's to die for“

“My friend and I came here after a hard leg 🦵 day at Vacaville Strength Experience gym. The place wasn't busy until after we walked in. After getting home, my friend realized that the "breakfast menu" specifically said REFRIED BEANS & RICE come with it. My friend did notice the bag was light but was alarmed until it was too late. Also, notice that a lot of the sauce tipped over inside the plastic bag because the Styrofoam was not as surcure as it should have been. The food was VERY TASTY, but disappointing due to the amount we paid was not sufficient due to not getting what we ordered and the fact they weren't busy and knowing their menu and what comes with it. 2 stars out of 5 💜💜🖤🖤🖤“

“This is the freshest Mexican food you'll get anywhere in the county. Chile verde is my fave. The shrimp cocktail. Fiesta salad if I need to save room for Daniels margaritas. Hibiscus margarita with a tajin. Also the secret ingredient Paloma and spicy margarita! Great bar to watch football. Go Rams!“

“First visit, the person taking orders was friendly, restaurant was clean decorated nice.
Ordered the chicken tacos without salsa, they were probably the best flavored tacos I've ever had.
The rice tasted like every other Spanish rice, the beans had an odd, maybe citrus hint, which I didn't so much care for, but it wasn't awful.
Overall, I'll definitely come back for those tacos.“

“been having great food here since 1976 -77. just great food.“

“One of my favorite taquerias in the local area, and there are quite a few! You receive free chips and salsa with all your orders, and the staff are always super welcoming and professional. Looking forward to coming back for many years to come!“

“really really good tacos 🌮 😋“

“Excellent food and service“

“Todo excelente servicio y rápido“

“I had the fish fajitas salad which was fantastic. Another friend had the fish tacos and said she gets them every time. I’ll definitely be back!!“

“Not bad at all. I've always noticed this restaurant but never went in till recently. One thing about the food industry is to never judge a restaurant by its location. The price was very decent and the food was fresh and delicious. Inside was clean and full of color. A good selection of beer, too. One thing I would add is they should mount a TV in the eating area when you first enter. Either than that I highly recommend this spot.“

“Kid-friendliness: The staff is always the friendliest and loving, the food is delicious never disappointed ❤️

I love dipping their tortilla chips in the beans and have it as a great snack. All the workers and owners are so nice and welcoming! Great customer service!“

“great food nice owner good comfort food“

“I've been going here for years. Even better post covid. Cheap good food! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. It is a gas station, so there's not much to expect, but it's clean, and I'm always open to grabbing a burrito from here. Cheers!“

“I don’t mean to use hyperbole, but honestly, their Super Burrito is the best Mexican food I have literally ever had in my entire life.

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while walking around Dixon when we moved in about a year ago and I could eat this for the rest of my life.“

“Great food! Nice Environment, friendly staff“

“This place is fire. Small, quant, and lovely. The staff rocks, professional x 1000. Food hit the plates on time, served hot but the food cool off too fast. Not sure why, but the taste makes up for everything. I enjoy my food hot (stove hot).“

“I’m not a picky eater so it is definitely my opinion when I say I love the food here. I’ve never had an issue with my orders and the food turns out amazing every time. I’ve even gotten a free meal all because it was closing time when I was picking up my order. Associates are amazing and have great customer service. Would definitely recommend!“

“lots of different delicious plates to choose from we had menudo with a fresh handmade hot tortillas and it was delicious I definitely recommend it“

“This place is my all time favorite. Always fresh ingredients and delicious. I drive from Fairfield to eat here. Definitely recommend to anyone.“

“Wife and I had lunch here for the first time on our list of places to try. One regular burrito with carne asada and one super burrito with carnitas. Both were good and probably the best taqueria style burritos we've had so far in Vacaville. Look forward to going again soon.“

“Portions are big, and the food is absolutely delicious! their Agua Frescas are made by them and they are so good and refreshing! to top it off their customer service is excellent, they are friendly and they are a great family who work together to make the best food they can for their customers! Can't wait to go back and eat there again“

“I have been coming here over 20 years. I don’t live close anymore but always eat here when I am in town. I have never had my order wrong, every bite is delicious, generous portions. The short wait times friendly people and comfortable atmosphere are very welcoming. I love this place! Food doesn’t last long enough for pics. lol“

“Good little local spot. Popped in just to grab some quick tacos and was not disappointed! House made tortillas were very fresh and high quality. Pastor meat was tender, although a bit oily (pastor can just be that way sometimes though). Will recommend and come back for sure!“

“I love there karaoke El traviezo is the d.j and the food is good I love there enchiladas,and tortas,and tacos, the waitress are nice and polite, the owner is awesome,friendly and I highly recommend El camaron vaquero...prices are good“

“I would give it a complete 5 star on all however, when I went they didn't accept cash or card, just Zelle, Venmo or Cash app (not sure on the last one). Food was good/decent. I loved the fact that they have freshly made tortillas de miaz“

“Delicious! only problem is the long line for the food“

“I don't know why no one has mentioned this place before but they have one of the best by burritos I have ever had.
It's an honest burrito with a lot of meat, not just a load of beans and rice.
I've already been here twice and will keep coming back to try the other items.“

“Always friendly service with a smile and great food.“

“Such nice people. Gave us the taco Tuesday deal on a monday. Very kind & accommodating of them! The asada was well seasoned & the beans are amazing! My whole family was happy & we WILL be back! Muchas Gracias!!! 🙏🌮🙏🌮“

“great food, great service!!“

“I have been seeing this truck for over a month and had to wait until Lent was over to try it out. It has been hard finding Birria Tacos that are good and have a consistent consume. I ordered 4 tacos for me and a burrito for my husband. I can't eat in the car, and I always need to add spices and things to my consume like lime, cayenne, garlic pepper, and Tapatio, but I was able to taste the burrito and it was good! I knew we were on to something when I didn't hear any complaints from my husband ??. I love ❤️ Horchata and was pleasantly surprised when I tasted theirs. He says they order theirs from Mexico and add what's needed. I like that it doesn't have the starchy after-taste and not watered down. It's nice and thick -- dessert over ice ! I will definitely be back!!! ?“
