“good service, great food, nice atmosphere“

“Thankful to my son to turning me on to this spot- I was very impressed. We used to come to this location at lunch when it was Jalisco’s and worked at Kaiser down the road.
Very clean interior (with seating) as well as a covered patio for outdoor dining.
My order was ready when I arrived and after the friendly staff member handed me my food, she also gave me a bag for chips & containers for salsa (complimentary). It’s hard for me to resist a salsa bar and this one had much to offer. I brought home the avocado salsa. The two tacos I ordered were plentiful- I subbed out mine with avo instead of meat and my taco was full of avocado!
The horchata was refreshing and delicious.
I will return here for sure!
The prices are very reasonable.“

“Juanita’s is the best… best carnitas, best beans and rice… consistently great.“

“Always my favorite place to go“

“These freaking tacos were delish. I’m kinda pissed because I live far away and will probably only get these once in a blue moon. Highly recommend FT if you are cruising thru Santa Rosa. 🌮🌮🌮“

“The food here is excellent and the service is impressively fast from ordering to finishing your meal. However, if you’re on a low-sodium diet, this may not be the best option, as the dishes are quite salty.

I’ll also share a personal feeling: at times, I’ve sensed a bit of tension and didn’t always feel fully welcomed. That may just be my own perception, and others may have a completely different experience. I still genuinely enjoy the food and would recommend trying it for yourself to form your own opinion.“

“The food quantity and quality remain the same after ownership changed a couple years ago. The employees are still there too.
The prices have gone up as have all foods, but the quality was in every bite. I enjoyed a Jose breakfast burrito and had two meals from it. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but I have always useouto go options.
I am pleased to recommend this establishment.“

“Love this place and food , but I don’t like handed a machine while server is standing there and I need to see if bill is correct and what their tip will be Set the final bill down and give me time . Today they were busy at lunch , so not the fastest service. Great food.“

“Me and my family ordered carnitas burritos and asada tacos excellent food great service we're new to the area but it's our favorite Mexican restaurant so far Los trios across the street we tried them and we don't like them our food was terrible the asada burritos the meat was raw so we tried this place and LOVED IT 🙂 Sonoma neighbors and family must try for great food and atmosphere excellent service“

“Top service every time! Their birria is top tier!“

“My sister and I had a delicious dinner at Mi Tierra Restaurant. Everything was excellent! We had Ceviche Tostadas, chips with salsa and a side of guacamole. Granada Margaritas. And a cup of coffee. The food is fresh. The place is super clean. The owner was very nice. I highly recommend it. And live music in the evening!“

“Heard the fountain and wandered over, someone's abuelita is making tortillas out front Fri-Sun. We sat outside for the water feature and great weather. Offered guacamole upon seating which came promptly with salsas. Next was a small bean dip with one flour, one corn fresh off the grill tortillas...YUM! Changed my order from tacos to fajitas to enjoy more fresh tortillas and try both steak and carnitas. Also tried carne asada plate which was great! There's beer and wine, plenty of tables for all sized parties inside and out, and a chips and salsa bar inside. Bathroom is wheelchair accessible one room bathroom with 1 stall. No steps to access restraunt or restroom, room to maneuver throughout restaurant without barriers to bathroom, as long as it's not crazy crowded.
Service was excellent. Did was delicious. Upbeat festive music and decor. I'm excited to go back and try fish tacos.“

“When I think of consistently great food, I think of Lila's. The staff are responsive and helpful, the space is extremely clean and organized with booths and tables. The chef makes the food within plain view which is awesome. This place hasnt stayed in business for over 20 years without fully earning it.

Parking: Parking is fantastic. Excellent location.

Kid-friendliness: Enough room for the whole family to enjoy dinner.“

“From Milwaukee WI, visiting CA, came off the SFO Airporter in Petaluma. OMG, found El Roy's Mex truck just by accident. What a find! Needed something to eat, no food since Minneapolis. Only got 4 ?, and they were all excellent! Ten to 15 people in line, others had pre-ordered. I realized very quickly that none of the people at the truck were there by ACCIDENT!!! Need to know more?“

“Very friendly staff and amazing food. Best horchatas around and the Terminator burrito is excellent...and it's good for like 3 meals or to share with someone.

Still amazing every time I go back also.

Man, I love this place! Truly, one of the first things I look forward to everytime I come back to Santa Rosa 🌹❤️🌯“

“Fair prices and excellent food. A good choice for your favorite traditional Mexican Dish. You won't go wrong Ordering a good dessert. More for a date than the whole family but it can accommodate both. I'd eat there again.

Vegetarian options: Food can be made to a special desire for non meat eating folks. The bean and rice can be loaded with all sorts of extras.“

“Came for dinner with my kiddos. The staff was super friendly! Karina, Thomas, and Edgar where all so polite and attentive to our needs. When dinning with my children they can be a bit loud but they where so understanding that kids are kids!! Definitely coming back. Ps the molcajete plate was amazing. Definitely recommend!!!“

“Delicioso el desayuno y los jugos 😋“

“Excelente lugar puedes ir con toda la familia hay mucha variedad de comida los encargados siempre te atienden con mucha amabilidad la comida es deliciosa mi recomendación son las tlayudas las tortas cubanas y los tacos los invito a que prueben todos los deliciosos platillos 😊😊😊“

“Continuing my quest to try all the little restaurants here in Sonoma County. I woke up with a craving for Chilaquiles Rojas con Chorizo and this place did not disappoint. The crunchy yet soft tortillas and fresh ingredients were fantastic, the sauce had a nice burn and amazing flavor. It's a little pricey, but that's to be expected in Santa Rosa. The atmosphere is chill and decorative. Expansive menu. Clean restrooms, and very friendly staff. I'll definitely be trying this place again.“

“AIways always hella good food from here, that never fails. I love that they give you an option to order small nachos instead of the big ass one that I'll never ever finish! I pretty
much always order the same thing, chicken
nachos with everything, I like hot Stuff however the hot from here is wayyyyy too hotb& depending on your taste buds its hot enough to ruin your food! This place is
normally parked in front of Amazon but they have more than one truck, they do Door Dash and still allow people to call ahead! Open late, bomb AF!“

“New Owners, great service and tasty amazing food. We will be back for sure!!“

“If you haven't tried it yet you never going to know what you are missing!! Best tamales ever!!����“

“I recently moved to Sonoma County from a bit further south and have been looking for a good Mexican food place in the area for so long. But after trying a ton of restaurants and food trucks around I can honestly say that this place is lowkey one of the best spots in the Santa Rosa area.

I tried a few different meats on the tacos here and they are all pretty damn good. The quesabirrias though are literally a gift to all of mankind, ez recommend.“

“I forgot my wallet and they let me have my food anyway😃. Come back and pay anytime, they said. I haven’t been here for 6 months, just because I’ve been busy. But I’ll be back soon. Great food, great people!“

“los mejores tacos que eh comido“

“(@RCB ) he sounds like a white person who doesn’t know the taste of a Mexican food but all side of that this was the most delicious food I ever tasted thank you“

“el molcajete de mariscos muy rico y muy grande no me lo alcanse a terminar muy sabroso“

“Best burritos ever!“

“Delicious tacos and REAL quesadillas. They also have great salsa. They make their own tortillas!! I enjoyed their food at the Mitote Food Park and look forward to enjoying their food again!“

“great food friendly people“

“el molcajete de mariscos muy rico y muy grande no me lo alcanse a terminar muy sabroso“

“We love the Taqueria de Santa Rosa. Any chance we get, we grab a table outside and share a meal. The food is fantastic and always a lot of it for a great price. There is always plenty of food to take home with us when we leave. The owners and staff are wonderful too. Because they are, we gladly spend our dollars with them. We highly recommend you share a meal there too. When a restaurant has excellent food, personable staff, and owners dedicated to making the best dining experience for their customers, it is the perfect place to share a meal with those you love!“

“I happened to stumble on their social media and decided to give them a try, and Im glad I did. Their chicken tacos are flavorful and delicious. For the season they have a pumpkin pie horchata and I dont know why it wasn't thought of before. The owners of the truck are very kind and good at their job. Extremely reasonable pricing, I paid less than 20 for my 2 tacos, horchata w a slice of pumpkin pie. Skip El Roys and come here!
Edit: I updated the photos to include their churro cheesecake horchata. 100/10 recommend“

“Muy rico todo, me encanta el sabor y la variedad de picantes para todos los gustos“

“Geri and Sheri just had lunch for the first time at Titas Food truck on Aero Drive in Santa Rosa, CA. I worked with Angelica at Red Lobster in Rohnert Park years back. Aside from Angelica being one of the most honest an fair people I know she has knocked it out of the park with her food. Please do not go there if you think you are getting a bent tortilla with some meat on it. This woman has created a Taco, & Enchilada that you have never tasted before and it is absolutely fantastic. After I finish this review I am contacting Guy Fieri of the three D's to review Tita's. My thoughts on her wonderful creations are why did I wait so long to visit her establishment. We dinned at 5256 Aero Drive Santa Rosa, CA its on the same street and area as the Redwood Herbal Aliance a great place to by cannabis, the True Value Hardware a museum of a hardware store and the Native American Museum. You can dine and check out some very unique business in that area. Her other location is 3110 Santa Rosa Avenue where you can meet the owner before 2 pm the days they are open. You want good food run don't walk to Tita's🙃❤“
