10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fair Oaks

“First time eating there today. Local people recommended this restaurant. Great service, Delicious food!!!!! Will definitely be back!!!“

“The outdoor patio was a good option on a busy night--even though it was a warm day, the patio was pleasant and shaded (& quieter than indoors for sure).
The fajita, although decent in basic flavor and good on protein quanity, seemed like a cheat by use of a warmed serving skillet rather than a sizzling one (it was like it was prepped on a flattop then served on the new-looking cast-iron skillet.
Service faded after meal delivery with empty glasses reminders needed several times.“

“I ordered the breakfast burrito tequilero with sausage and paid extra for guacamole. Ordered through Doordash. The burrito arrived hot and perfectly proportioned. Their salsa tequilera is divine-a must for your meal. Delicious and look forward to ordering their nachos next. Thank you for a scrumptious breakfast. No pics, I was too hungry 😅 Highly recommend!“

“My daughter told me about the Fair Oaks location. We got the tacos but the real treat was the guacamole which is made just like the restaurant in Culver City which is Tito Tacos.on Washington Blvd. The hard shelled tacos were great. Taco Exxpress has a good menu and I'll try other things too but the tacos and guacamole remind me of Tito Tacos. The lines at Tito Tacos are very long so the drive thru at Taco Exxpress would be like any other taco place but its the food with this added benefit.“

“😋 yummmmm been eating there since I was in my teens, I’m now 63yrs“

“99% of my late night runs to Alberto‘s have always been amazing tonight however, my five rolled chicken tacos were dry and had barely any Guacamole and cheese I had been helping my best friend move all day and was hungry, and I was super disappointed with the quality. Also, when I call back to speak to someone in the middle of the conversation, somehow we were ““ disconnected“ I hope this was just the one off because I tipped them before I even realize the quality of my food“

“A true corner bar and restaurant, El Balcon has a great variety of both liquor and foods. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, just go and order your food at the small counter, grab a number and find a place to have your food brought out to you.

They have a nice self-serve chips and salsa bar where you can try out a wide variety of sauces. We ordered the grande Nachos - which are an entire meal, and I got the Pina Loca - which is pineapple cut in half, with a bisteak layer, and then topped up with a seafood (shrimp, octopus, crab sticks, and maybe scallops) smothered in melted cheese and some sauce (maybe mayonnaise) which was absolutely delicious. Never seen anything like it before which is why I decided to give it a try.

The woman at the counter also recommended their Birria tacos which are only made on the weekends, but I had to go with the pineapple this time.

Overall the service was extraordinarily friendly and the food came out quickly. My friend tells me their Tequila selection is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“I passed by here on Friday August 21st, 2026; this is My first time visiting and trying out Chipotle. I was riding My mountain bike when I came here. I just came from the Orangevale area where I was riding My bike. When I arrived, I noticed outdoor seating. I ordered a burrito with chicken, fried rice, pinto beans, Pico de Gallo, and lettuce; and I ordered a large drink. The staff was wonderful and respectful.“

“��Taco Tuesday��because we are stronger together. We will eat tacos til the next election because we choose to elect a spirit of untiy.“

“I always order my food through drive through but today I actually went inside to order. Kinsey most times takes my order. She’s really sweet and has great customer service experience and she’ll meet your food needs! I I had a free food reward to redeem and she helped me with it even though it was a busy time, she multitasked through it. I can tell she’s a very hard working worker! Excellent customer service, keep up the great work Kinsey!“
