17 Best Mexican Restaurants in Rocklin

“This is one of my all-time favorite taquerias whenever I visit my family in Roseville. I live in Rio Vista, CA, so it’s a long drive, but it’s worth it. Their food is authentic and delicious, from their amazing tacos to their huge burritos. And their Quesabirria is simply the best. The staff is also super awesome, and I hope to meet Roberto one of these days. They never disappoint, and I give them a solid 10 out of 10.“

“The best little hole-in-the wall Oaxaqueno (Oaxacan) Mexican restaurant! Traditional dishes are served here with beautiful presentation. The most delicious mole roja! They offer many authentic specialties straight from Oaxaca including Tlayudas! They even offer dishes with chapulines (grasshoppers). I did not try them though.

The waitress put up with my terrible Spanish when I told her I like to practice. She was cheerful and attentive. The restaurant is casual. They offer a comfortably air conditioned, screened patio. l will be back to eat my way through their extensive menu! What are you waiting for? Go now!“

“First time I've ate here....10 out of 10! I got the shredded beef burrito and oh my gosh, it was better than any burrito I've had in a very long time! I'm very specific about my Mexican food and I'll be back here for sure! Thank you!“

“Food is awesome. Some favorites: Chile Verde, Shredded Beef Enchiladas, Chimichanga, Carne Asada Crispy Taco, and Churro. Always good guac. And you will love the Red Salsa if you like a little spice (true spicy lovers will probably think it's mild, but delicious).“

“Free chips and salsa bar is a rare find nowadays. High quality food all around. Especially like their Chile Relleno dish. Has a nice creamy sauce although seeds are left in so don't eat the top. Ranch sauce on tacos and burritos is also a favorite. Horchata and Jamaica comes with the fountain drinks.“

“Excellent food! Tried the carne asada Street tacos and super nachos with a side of rice and beans. The carne asada had a nice marinade/rub to it and the super nachos were some of the best nachos I've had. Better than aldabertos in my opinion because the chips weren't soggy and the carne asada is of better quality. The rice and beans were great too, not too salty like other places. The second time I visited the drive thru it was about six cars and close to a 20 minute wait. Hopefully they get things ironed out. Overall an A+“

“So I'd like to say, for the quick taco fix, this is my spot. This jimboys has been very consistent with making the food just right. Not skimping on ingredients and everything very fresh. The employees have also been very attentive to the patrons' needs. The ground beef taco is always my favorite, the taco burger is very delicious, I love the beef burritos, and the taquitos are really good also. I do enjoy from time to time one of their tostadas, and I do like them all. My kids and wife really enjoy the chicken tacos amongst all the things that I like once in awhile they do get a little forgetful when you do an order but they're very helpful to correct it and extremely apologetic from what I've seen. The photo shows their beef tacos. Just so that you're all clear, this is just to my quick fix for tacos. Other than that, the food trucks have great tacos usually, but I have to be honest I'm making tacos at home. I've been to too many places several times for tacos, and they're never ever consistent. In that particular flavor of the ground beef is what I'm craving and their salsa packets.“

“Update 2/2026: Started eating here a year ago. Still coming back. Food is still amazing, service is great.

We ate here for the first time 1/2025 even though it has been here for a while. Wanted to try something different. Honestly it is better than most full serve mexican restaurants. More for your money, great taste, fresh, and hot. It is now on my list when I spin the bottle for where I'm going to eat. Score and a win. Sorry I didn't take photos of our food. Next time.“

“Churros and ice cream was excellent“

“Great food would recommend this place to everyone“

“My husband and I LOVE the atmosphere, food and our server Martha who is always friendly and helpful. When we moved from Seattle a little over a year ago, we had no idea of the restaurants in the area. We found Catrina's while driving by and stopped in. Since that first time Martha always greets with a welcoming smile. We love the festive atmosphere and great chicken mole! Just thinking about the food my husband and I are going there today to have lunch.“

“I wish I would have gotten the name of the girl who waited on me because she was extremely friendly and not the usual uninterested kid that works in these places sometimes.
She recommend the fried cheese steak burrito. It was very good.“

“What the owner lacks in social skills he makes up by far in the tacos he makes. Been going for years and still asks me what I'm ordering and if I want soft tortillas with onions and cilantro?? I haven't changed my order ever btw!“

“Tonight our family went to this TB location and ordered a very large meal in the drive-thru. Prime time dinner time so they were busy and working hard. I drove up and immediately informed the person on the drive thru speaker that we had a large order. She literally said back, “Hey, that is what I am here for!” And proceeded to take our order. She was super efficient, repeated the order back perfectly (and our order did come with some alterations to items). We had at least 25 items in our order and not one item was missing, all altered items were perfect and she gave us plenty of sauces which sometimes there is a lack of! Anyway, good service deserves to be praised. If you are the lovely green eyed lady at the drive thru window on Wednesday 7/1/26 I just want to say thank you! Sad I didn’t get your name to shout you out here, but hopefully my gratitude in words here reach you! Your employer is lucky to have you working there!“

“We were a bit disappointed in the burritos (carnitas and beef) at this location. The pork was fatty, and my husband thought the beef was bland. Also they are a little light on the fillings. We had to request additional beans, rice, and cheese. I realize they are putting a lot of items in the burrito, but initially very little was added. The seating is not inviting and it seems crowded, even when empty!“

“We arrived 20 minutes before closing… fully expecting the universal “please don’t be here” energy.

Instead, Carissa welcomed us with the warmth of someone greeting long-lost family. Her cheerful “Welcome in!” instantly erased any guilt we had about showing up so late.

Then the performance began.

Ashley and Carissa didn’t just make burritos—they conducted an orchestral masterpiece. Every scoop was calculated. Every ingredient was perfectly placed. Every fold of the tortilla was worthy of a standing ovation. Alongside their fearless teammate, Micha, they moved with the precision of Navy SEALs, the elegance of Olympic gymnasts, and the confidence of Michelin-star chefs.

At one point I swear time stopped.

I’ve had burritos before, but never one that made me reconsider the trajectory of my entire life.

This wasn’t customer service. This was hospitality. This was theater. This was art.

If Chipotle ever creates a Burrito Hall of Fame, these three deserve statues out front.

From this day forward, this is the only Chipotle we’ll ever visit. I’d drive past ten other locations just for the privilege of watching these burrito legends work their magic again.

Give them raises. Give them promotions. Give them the keys to the company.

10/5 stars.“

“Great service and well made food. When I went on 03/23 around 5:30pm, it was full of young women who are clearly trying to do a good job. They can't control a random Monday rush, or the host of young kids that come in, but they can and DID control their customer service and food quality. There was a little bit of a wait, but more than understandable considering the amount of people in the restaurant waiting for food, dining, and at the drive thru.“
