The people are really nice. I always get the flour tortilla tostada bowl it is one of the best and it costs less here than most places. I like the yellow rice I don't care for the red rice. My daughter always gets a bean and cheese burrito my son gets a bean taco. The fish tacos are really good. I can feed my family dinner here for $50

My partner and I had our first visit here yesterday. We found the food to be tasty, the service to be very good, the prices very reasonable compared to similar restaurants, the environment clean and uncrowded, and as others have already mentioned, the salsa bar to be rockin!' He ordered the daily special that was two tacos with rice, beans and a (refillable) drink for $12 (sorry no pics of his food). He chose the carnitas tacos which were street taco size but piled high with meat. We were impressed with the choices of toppings for the taco and that there was no extra charge for guac as one of those choices (he really liked their guac). I ordered the two combo lunch for $12. My choices were a chicken taco and a chicken tamale. What I really appreciated was that they offer alternatives to the standard rice and beans as the sides (I usually pass on rice at other places)! They give you the choice of rice and beans OR salad OR soup. The soup choices yesterday were Pozole or Chicken Tortilla Soup. I chose Pozole as a change of pace. I was expecting a small cup so was pleasantly surprised that it was in a decent sized bowl and that they offered to add in cabbage, onion and cilantro (I chose all three). There was more meat in in the soup thanI expected. The only things I would change about the soup is that it was only a little warmer than room temp and had a bit more oil than I persinally prefer probably due to the pork but I still give it a thumbs up. I ended taking some home because the meal turned out larger than expected, including that chicken tamale. It had almost as much shredded chicken, if not more, than masa. Topped with a LOT of sauce (I didn't find it overly flavorful) and some cheese. Next time I'll ask for light on the sauce and no cheese (again just my personal pref). The chicken taco was very good with some tasty char on some of the pieces of meat. As for the salad bar, it was really awesome. I especially liked their fresh pico. The salsa verde was a little thinner than some but still good. There were several other choices as well as sliced radish and fresh limes. The only other thing I had wished was different was that I found the chips to be on the oily side. Perhaos their oil wasn't hot enough when they fried them or maybe they didn't spread them out enough when draining. The restaurant was set up roomy so you didn't feel crowded and it was clean. The womens bathroom was also clean but you do need to ask for a key to it which is understandable. The restaurant itself is a bit hidden from the main street. It is behind the Starbucks that is next to the bowling alley and Wendy's on Watt near the Country Club mall area. It is next door to a Korean corn dog establishment. I hope they survive this tough market. We will be back!

Absolutely thrilled to share my fantastic experience at Don Quixote's Mexican Grill in Sacramento, CA! This hidden gem in the Carmichael area has won my heart with its quick and friendly service, authentic Mexican flavors, and delightful ambiance.From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was not only prompt but also incredibly friendly, making the dining experience truly enjoyable.Now, let's talk about the food – outstanding! I opted for the veggie burrito, and it was a flavor explosion. The ingredients were fresh, and the combination of flavors was simply mouthwatering. Each bite felt like a journey through the rich culinary traditions of Mexico.The salsa and chips deserve a special mention. The salsa was vibrant and had the perfect balance of spices, while the chips were crispy and served as the ideal accompaniment. It's evident that the attention to detail in the preparation of every dish sets Don Quixote's apart.Overall, my visit to Don Quixote's Mexican Grill was a delightful experience, and I can't wait to go back. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican cuisine served with a side of warm hospitality, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended!

Worst place to order from or pick up from. The older ladies have that micro aggression which makes no sense when they are minorities too. May their karma hit them like a sack a
