29 Best Taco Restaurants near North Highlands

“food is good, but for their hours you think they'd have enough sides seems like they run out of alot so early on plus the tacos are basic, and hardly come with anything on it! cilantro & onions only? They never answer their phone which I don't understand why it's even on the truck. They definitely have some things to improve on, but I will give them another chance seeing that the food is good. I'd give a 4 star rating.“

“So, I usually go to my regular mexican place but since they did not answer the phone (not uncommon), I thought I'd try this place out - since it's much much closer ... And I'm so glad I did!! I've tried Nixtacos and hated the food which was bland and super overpriced. My regular mexican place the cilantro is always like frozen and the result is nasty cilantro. One thing that stood out for me about Nikos Tacos is that the onions had a nice crunch and the cilantro was super fresh - the cane asada (to my surprise) was perfectly cooked - not hard and dry, but easy to chew with great flavor! The added cheese and crema at the top which looked excessive when I saw in the pictures actually brought it all together and gave it that salt. Excellent ? tacos and I look forward to trying out other things on their menu! Thank you!“

“The food is outrageously good. It’s not your everyday americanized Mexican stuff. I had an asada burrito they adjusted for my allergies without any problems. It was about 12 bucks, but huge. My friend had some tacos. He was a little surprised by the radishes, I had to explain that this was actual real Mexican food. He found them very satisfying. It’s a little place. So look out for it. I truly want to give them my highest recommendations.

Vegetarian options: They do have mushroom as a filling instead of meat.“

“I tried the three vegan tacos…the cauliflower, the tofu al pastor, and the avocado. Just FYI…the avocado isn’t labeled as a vegan option on the menu due to a shared fryer. The tacos were all delicious but messy lol. The cauliflower was my favorite! This place is small and can be crowded during meal times…so we actually went at 3pm to avoid the crowds. The service was top notch and food came pretty quick! I do wish they didn’t use disposable cups for dining in customers. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-11“

“We absolutely love this local spot. The owner is warm and remembers us. The food is mouth-wateringly outstanding! The service is excellent, as well. Besides, this little joint is ranked nationally for their remarkable tacos!“

“Still open just moved to a new spot like a block away so highly recommend to check them on Instagram for updates. Parking space is limited (like 3) so it may be better to park on the side streets and walk to the taco stand. Their Al Pastor is well worth the wait, the horchata, toppings, and sauces are also fantastic. I usually come around 6:30pm since the vendor tends to set up a bit later than usual. Cash only!“

“Good food and drink. I recommend the breakfast/ brunch menu.“

“Excellent food, excellent service, priced just right, clean. I’m there at least once a week!“

“I was very impressed with how great everything was! The TJ tacos, michelada and breakfast burritos were delicious! The flour tortilla chips were so good with their salsas! We were happy we the customer service we received! Highly recommend Martin’s tacos!“

“Food is Delicious, very well made. The establishment inside is very well clean and neat. It was very difficult to find parking, since there is only 4 parking spots, 1 being for accessibility and another one is being taken up by an outside table, Very limited parking. It is also next door to a recycling place so there’s tons of people in the area unloading cans and plastic bottles. I recommend the business but parking is challenging. Overall good place for good food.“

“Probably some of the best Birria tacos l've had in Sacramento. Definitely will be coming back here to try the other items on the menu. Was surprised to see how quickly the line moved so props to the staff for keeping it moving while making quality foods.“

“The food was amazing. I ordered some tacos de pastor and holy sh*t they were amazing. Their meets are cooked perfectly and they DO NOT charge for toppings. The people are extremely kind and you can tell the cooks know what they are doing. They keep their stations clean!!! That’s hard to find in street food vendors!! Overall I will definitely be coming back ♥️ please try their strawberry aqua Fresca ??“

“This is one of my favorite spots for some amazing quesabirria tacos. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth the price? Definitely. Even the rice, beans, and hot sauces are amazing. They also have some of the best horchata I’ve had. Hope to try some other dishes from this spot. 5/5.“

“We ordered to sample almost all tacos!… I mean we are at a taco bar for gods sake lol… I was surprised that not many people ordered all the tacos all at once! And I was really sad not to see a “sampler” in the menu. The tacos, once ordered together, they do standout! … we suggested to the staff that they do a “sampler” option of 12 tacos or more (and maybe then include the chips and salsa which are not free, but they’re good chips and salsa!) … trying out our version of the sampler was great and I recommend it so that you pick for yourself which ones are your favs!!! I loved the pork belly and the short rib! … Oh and we shared each taco between two of us… so go with someone you don’t mind passing along and sharing the taco with… might not be a good idea for a first date LOL. Cool place.“

“Excellent food every time!“

“Randomly stopped here while out on some errands and wanted some lunch. Got 4 Pastor tacos for $11. The meat was perfectly tender and marinated, the tortillas are good and the salsas are great too. Although there are some things I could see people not liking about this place and that is the salsa not being self serve. It doesn’t come in a container, it’s served on the taco. For me it’s the perfect amount of salsa but for people who like to choose how much salsa they get it could be off putting. The little trailer is only ran by the sole owner so have patience when ordering. Will be coming back soon. 4.8/5.

Vegetarian options: Vegan/Vegetarian Tacos“

“Great!! Dined here about 6 times so far. Fast pleasent service. Food orders made well, fast & consistent. Staff always cleaning wiping up & restocking. Love the birria tacos, enchiladas, beans rice.“

“One of the hidden gems of in Citrus Heights probably the best tacos in East Sacramento. The tacos have a nice flavor and are very are very fresh. The tacos costed 1.75 the last time went. They also came with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno on the side. The sauce is also red which is medium hot. There also a liquor to buy the the drinks & snacks you desire.“

“I've had Roundhouse ever since they had the Elk Grove location. And I'm happy to say that the Alhambra location is just the same.

Their service is great, as usual. I've never had a complaint; the one time a mistake was made (someone else took my order by accident), they were quick to help me out and remake my order.

Food is phenomenal. Others who have had it before will say the same.“

“The best, most flavorful burrito I've ever had in Sacramento. The food is authentic, tasty and has lots of flavor. The customer service is great and the employees are very friendly!

“ordered 4 carne asada tacos, definitely worth buying,they got the real meat!!! not the fatty stuff. highly recommended stop by bike night or every night ridesafely“

“Omg! These tacos are incredible, my roommate and I just had some less than an hour ago. The cabeza and carne asada was low key to die for. You have to try this, they had a cute little buyable out with a table cloth and chairs to sit down. The guy working the truck was so nice, efficient and attentive!“

“Had the Pastor Tacos, they were really good. Had tons of flavor and super juicy. Definitely recommend you giving them a try. Will definitely be a go to spot when I'm in Sac.“

“I always get get the Carne Asada Torta and it is always made to perfection. Definitely my favorite place in town to get a Torta. Their bread is always fresh and the ingredients are always full of flavor. Plus they ladies that work here are very friendly and they gave me a free Horchata! A+++ experience everytime!“

“Shrimp tostadas are delicious, all the food that I have tried is very good 😊 I recommend the quesabirrias too.“

“Great deal for food made to order. we stopped by on a whim and now have a go-to place. Burger is phenomenal and the tri-tip had the right amount of smoke. so tasty. look forward to trying more entrees and meats. cool people in there as well and the atmosphere was good. really couldn't find any negative other than my lack of ability to choose just one thing not a question we will be back.“

“I recently visited Sac Tacos Food Truck and I have to say, I was blown away by the amazing food and the exceptional service! The veggie burrito I ordered was absolutely delicious - packed with fresh veggies, beans, rice, and flavorful sauces. Every bite was a burst of flavor and the portion was generous, making for a satisfying meal. But what really made my experience great was the exceptional service - Carlos, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and that my food was perfect. He was friendly, attentive, and truly cared about making my experience a great one. The atmosphere of the food truck was also great - it was clean, well-maintained, and had a fun, festive vibe. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Sac Tacos Food Truck and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food and outstanding service. Thanks, Carlos and the team, for a wonderful meal!😎😎😍“
