It is sad I have found out they're going to close the door in a couple of weeks due to the lease expired and can't work out with the landlord! But I am happy to know they're looking for a new location. I hope they'll be re-open in a better and bigger location soon. We're here at around 6 pm on a Wednesday. The restaurant is not very busy. The very sweet lady is working on a lot of to-go orders, but still, give me a nice greeting when I walked in the door. The dining room is clean and comfortable. The foods are ready in 15 minutes and bring to my table after I ordered them at the counter. Complimentary chips and salsa is available when I'm waiting for my food. I have ordered three tacos and an empanada. It is very fresh and delicious! The two ladies working in the dining room are very friendly and attentive. They are checking our table all the time, picking up the empty plates when we finish our food, refill our drinks, and have a smile on their face all the time! The parking lot is very tiny in front of the restaurant, but more parking is available on the back. The sign of the restaurant is a little harder to see when you're driving. Just trust your GPS. It is right on when it tells you you've arrived! Lol!

Vamos a la Playa! The outside sign was tiny but we figured we were at the right place since it was the only restaurant in that area where the GPS placed us. We met our friends here for dinner. Inside is a nice, clean and cozy dining room. This is a counter-service restaurant and so we placed our orders with the young gal at the register (so friendly and helpful). I chose the Carne Asada Burrito, meat marinated with oregano, garlic, white onions and Gorgonzola cheese. I asked if the roasted tomato salsa was spicy she said just a tad. I can handle that. Choice of whole pinto beans or black beans. Latin X style served with green rice, crema and mozzarella cheese. And they served it already split in half, ready for my iG pic LoL! Hubby had the carnitas burrito... yum! slowly roasted pork and pico de gallo salsa. Took home 3 orders to go for my kids: Carnitas Taco Salad Pulled Pork Pibil burrito (super sized) Cheese and Avocado Panini w/ bacon Oh yeah, they can't thank me enough. Big meals, affordable prices. While this restaurant is "new" to us (thanks to Vince!), we were told by another employee that they will be closing their doors in the next couple of weeks... I had to clarify and they confirmed that Saturday, August 14th, will be their last day and will no longer be conducting business in this location. Sad that they were unable to negotiate their lease BUT! fortunately not to fret, this is temporary until they find a new location! We will be following once that materializes. So glad we got to try their delicious food! Review #2347

My only complaint is that I passed this place when I was looking for it because the restaurant signage-- the font is too small to read while driving. Food and service was good. I'm glad they're still here after so many places closed due to covid.

Tacos to go specials

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan That food was so good I looked up at my boy who was eating and we just looked at each other like "WHERE ARE WE?" I dunno how we found this place but man if you go past it without eating you missing out

This spot has great food, great service and great atmosphere. The proprietor, Oscar, is very friendly and welcoming. His pride shows not only in his description of the food, but also in the final product. As he described it the Latin-Mexican fusion dishes are light, fresh and delicious! Their agua frescas are also very fresh and tasty. We had the shrimp ceviche, guacamole, pork pibil and chile rellenos. What a change from the typical heavy fried Mexican found mostly everywhere in CA. If you're looking for something unique and special this is a must visit restaurant!

It might be once or twice a year that I have food that is this good. Too bad we are not local or we would be regulars! Everything scratch everything is tasty. 2 tacos with rice and beans might be a little light for some. Order 3 or 4 for a feast. We will be back.

Kudos! Fresh and delicious food, clean tables and restrooms and fast service! What more can you ask for? Their tacos and burritos ( as big as your head) are D-licious, their fresh fruit drinks are the bomb AND the owner was a gentleman. Will return often and take out too! MUY BUENO

We tried this place last night. It is decorated in vibrant colors, clean, homey and pleasant. It feels as if you are walking into a home. The menu is very unique because it is Yucatán food rather than the usual Mexican most places serve. I had pork pibil, which I've never had before, and it was amazing. The beans and rice were really homestyle and delicious. The tortillas were homemade. Another in our family had the chili rellanos and they were amazing, stuffed with potato and cheese. They have lots of vegetarian options, the burrito is stuffed with tons of grilled seasonal veggies. The young lady working there was helpful and gave great service. When the food came out, everyone from the kitchen brought it out, which is really nice to meet those who cooked your food. The chef (owner too perhaps?) came out to make sure we liked our food. I am looking forward to going back and trying more dishes. I am excited we have a place like this in Rio Linda. Definitely give it a try!

Not enough good things to say about this place. By far the best Mexican food, EVER! Service is stellar. Food is flavorful & presentation is top notch. If you're thinking about trying this place you will not be disappointed. Everything we orders was ten stars!
Hop in your car and get here ASAP!!! I have been here twice (I am from out of town) and have really liked the food, atmosphere, and people who work here :) The chicken fajita bowl with the cilantro dressing is so tasty (got this last visit) and was about to get it today but decided to try their carnitas breakfast burrito since it was morning time and was not disappointed! Also got a strawberry water, try it!!! Great potions, presentation, and service!! Love the hot habanero salsa so much and the owner noticed lol he gave me two to go!! Thank you so much!!! See you all the next visit!

My wife and I loved the food and it has a great environment. I also love the fact it's within walking distance from home. We'll definitely be going back.

This place is phenomenal, the staff is kind and the food is delicious. This is my first time and the owner came out to greet us. We will all come back very soon and often. Thank you so much
