Restaurants near Gold River

“Martin’s Famous Tacos has completely won me over. I was honestly a little skeptical the first time I went, but after they catered an event at my kids’ school, I decided to give them a try. I’m glad I did because now we stop by at least once a week.

If you go on Thursday, you’re in for a treat. It’s basically birria day! Their quesabirria tacos are fantastic, and the birria burritos are just as good. Their quesadillas are huge, made with fresh flour tortillas, and packed with more meat than most people can handle.

The sides are great too—the rice and beans are always on point. They have fresh radishes available and a salsa bar with plenty of options. The guacamole is excellent. You do have to purchase chips separately, but they offer both traditional corn chips and flour tortilla chips.

They don’t have fountain drinks, but they do carry a wide variety of Mexican sodas and American sodas, and I’m pretty sure they serve beer as well.

What really keeps us coming back, though, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Even when the dining room looks slow, they’re working hard because the place stays busy. You order at the counter, but they bring the food out to your table, check on you, and keep the dining area clean. Customers are encouraged to bus their own tables, which is a small thing considering the great service they provide.

Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and genuinely kind people. Martin’s Famous Tacos has become a regular stop for my family, and I highly recommend giving them a try.”

“Love this place! I'm so glad it's closeby! The pizza is good but the other stuff is even better! The cheesy breadsticks, wings, calzones and pasta! I'm not a fan of the chicken tenders but they made have changed them because I think I got them during the pandemic when supplies were sometimes hard to get. Staff here is always awesome!!! And prices have not gone up crazy like the other pizza parlors nearby. I love their pizza sauce - it's just a little bit sweet! Also I love the pesto drizzle!”

“I have lots of friends that always recommend this place so I went and it was amazing. The sushi was fresh and lots of flavor. The staff was nice and helpful. The inside is very nice and there is a small outside area.”

“I've been mad at Round Table so I've been exploring local pizza joints looking for something that resembles my favorite. Blaze Pizza is it. Food was amazing, staff was so friendly and funny. Great people. All of them. It's our new favorite place to be. :)”

“The food is AWESOME!! We went two days in a row because the tacos stuck in our head too much😆😆. Sara the owner has a beautiful spirit and she remembered us from a year ago. We always receive excellent service and we will definitely come again.”

“Fantastic food made with care from people who enjoy quality and presentation. Creative, Innovative and dynamic. They have alternates selections for people on dietary restrictions.”

“great foid especially the seabass”

“Went there Sunday morning - great food -great service! Glad they are in Gold River - fun place to eat.”

“The best mountain mikes around, with the friendliest service and cleanest environment. The lunch buffet is very good and unlike many other mountain mikes, they actually make the pizza/dish you ask for and being it out, rather than just leaving you with what they already have.”

“Workplace kitchen tailored to this building working hours. Breakfast and lunch available to eat there or to go. Lunch specials are worth it, the variety of plates keeps it interesting. Breakfast is good and coffee options are similar to Starbucks.”

“If you like fresh pasta, this is the place. I have been buying pastas and sauces from “the pasta queen” for 5 years. Susan’s stuff is to die for! Ravioli, noodles, gnocchi, cannelloni and sauces that are out of this world! I go in once a month and “stock up”. Yes, I freeze it! Then, I deliver it to my sons in the Bay Area and my neighbors. Go check The Pasta Queen out! High quality and Reasonable prices.”

“Great food at a great price, and Joe is always happy to see you. If you work close by, you'll be dining here (or doing take-out) at least two to three times a week.”

“great food. Great service”

“Food was good as always, however this time one of the sandwiches was wrong, it was almost closing time and didn't realize it until I was home, at least it was a sandwich I liked, will have to check it out better next time.”

“Finding a restaurant that opens around 10:00 on a Sunday morning is no easy feat. Yet, I found one—and I was thoroughly impressed. It offered delicious, home-style food; service faster than McDonald's; a spotless environment; and an interior atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to its exterior appearance. It is the kind of place I wish I had right in my own neighborhood. While the food would have been excellent for takeout, dining in was a true delight; my meal arrived in a beautiful bento box, arranged with exquisite neatness—everything was simply perfect. The staff were friendly, and the tables were as clean and inviting as those in a home. If you want to lift your spirits for the entire day, pay this place a visit and order whatever your heart desires. You’ll find that everything just falls into place.”

“Love my carnitas! Always clean and friendly! Thankfully on my way to family.”

“Great food , great service”

“I’ve been to this place once visiting my cousin and to say it was the best steak I’ve ever tasted in my ever loving life would be a huge understatement! I don’t know when I will ever make it to that part of the country (I live in South Carolina) but when I do, Sutter Street will definitely be on the itinerary!”

“Suzi was an amazing server!! Quality of service was amazing, she was very attentive and seemed to know just when to stop by the table when we needed it. Overall superb service, and we never had a server as great as Suzi! Definitely coming back.”

“Muy rica la comida y el servicio de lujo y el Lugar muy bonito”

“Wifey and I went here for dinner and some wine this past Friday. Was absolutely delicious and fantastic service. We met all three of the family and were super friendly. Great wine list as well. Highly recommend!!!”

“Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon because where we were going was too crowded and we were very pleasantly surprised! Great gyros, hummus, tzatziki and chili. Pita is ver very y yeah good. Can’t wait to try the amazing looking Dubai chocolate and their baklava too.!”

“The best thai restaurant in the town. Authentic taste and large portions. The staff were also very friendly. Red curry with duck meat and Thai fried rice highly recommended. Definitely going back there”

“I’ve been to El Cantaro in Monterey about 10 times! I’m looking forward to going to the Sacramento version of this restaurant today! That has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I love the fact that it doesn’t say vegan plant-based and all that stuff everywhere. It’s basically just a Mexican restaurant that happens to be Vegan. Can’t wait to come and visit!”

“Great service, great food at a great price.
Strips are fantastic and huge (normal restaurants chicken sandwich size). I thought I didn’t like Nashville chicken, turns out I didn’t like poorly done Nashville chicken.”

“We discovered a new BBQ place in North Highlands called Bear West. We tried it out and happy to report that the food is excellent and staff exceptional. We recommend you try it out, you will not be sorry.”

“We spent the evening with family visiting from New York and had a wonderful experience.
The service staff was very attentive to special requests made in advance of our visit. All of the food dishes were exceptionally well prepared by the kitchen staff and thoroughly enjoyed by our guests (and us).
I’d recommend to anyone with discerning tastes that also enjoy a high level of service.”
