24 Best Mexican Restaurants near Shingle Springs

“We had lunch there today and everything was delicious. Love the freshness of the food, especially the onions and cilantro. The service was great too. My daughter also highly recommends Delicia. She is the one who told me about it.“

“We live jimboys tacos this is the good one in the area we live by arrowbee in placerville ca but it's just there tacos are small here auburn and grass valley have bigger ones“

“Lots of great Mexican restaurants around but if you want a nice sit down and chat atmosphere then this is the place in Diamond Springs. We've been here several times and we're new to the area. Never been disappointed.
Update: Usually have the chimichanga and love it, tried the super nachos and am happy to have another tasty dish on my list. Next time, bacon avocado burger.“

“Had no expectations but WOW did this place deliver. You can tell everything is homemade with lots of love and practice. Portions are HUGE for the price. I will be dreaming of the sopes with birria for years to come. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more salt to the chips and try a different way of keep them warm. They were a bit stale in the hot drawer.
Otherwise, this place deserves on the Michelin Guide.“

“They had absolutely everything I needed absolutely love this place“

“We love this place. The spicy sauce is awesome ! Highly reccomend <3“

“I've tried most burritos in the Cameron Park area and this one is my favorite. A lot of burritos need hot sauce to add some flavor. This one doesn't, but their sauces add a lil' something extra if that's your thing. All of their meat options are good, but I like the Al Pastor. Quick, solid, tasty burrito. Can't go wrong here“

“There are many Mexican food restaurants but this is one of 2 that we highly recommend in Placerville. El Carnival has so many great options to choose from, we appreciate their specials, too. Every time we eat here, the food never disappoints, no matter what we order. Today was a quick lunch... the chicken taquitos and carnitas were delicious. Try the carnitas, so good. The complimentary chip/salsa bar offers a variety of heat levels. They also have a good variety of beers and bottle drinks, plus fountain drinks. The restaurant is always well staffed & the staff are friendly. There is indoor or patio areas for dining. Three restaurant is we'll designed and decorate, and kept clean.“

“Take a chance on Nina's Taqueria, it will not disappoint!!

Its hard to find a carniceria around this area and even harder to find good carne asada. I discovered this place on a whim and I am so glad I did. I purchased marinated flank steak to bbq at home and OMG, the quality of meat and their marinade is chef's kiss! We purchased a few of their pastries and was highly impressed, the concha's were soft and fresh and horejas crisp and delicious. These pastries were so good that my mom went back the next day and purchased a whole dozen of their pastries.“

“Clean, Great service, Fresh delicious food beautifully presented and affordable! Can't ask for more! Will go back!“

“Best crispy chicken tacos in town! No pics because I just ate them.🤷🏻‍♂️“

“We love going to Normas place . Highly recommended. Food is great and service quick and easy.“

“Hands-down, the best Mexican food in El Dorado County I would put this food up to any other Mexican food in the state of California. This place is the best I would eat here every day if I didn’t retire and move back to Oregon. The Homies is a legit with this food“

“Very welcoming atmosphere. There's a bar for those who are inclined to relax and have a few drinks, separate from the dining area. Good selection on the menu. Entree was very flavorful, though the sides needed a little help. Service was great. Overall good experience“

“I recently had the pleasure of attending a 5-course Tequila dinner event at Encanto Tequila Bar on this incredible June evening in 2024. I can confidently say that it was a remarkable experience. The combination of fantastic company and exquisite food, curated by Chef Juan, made it a truly unforgettable evening. Every dish was not only delicious but also expertly paired with various types of Casamigos Tequila, enhancing the flavors in the most delightful way. This event truly deserved its 5-star rating, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“

The to go packaging incling meals bag of green and red salsa containers,plastic utensils, appropriate amount of napkins etc and no spills or leaks ,food stayed hot! Will be coming back for sure,I don't do In n Out!“

“Best chile relleno anywhere, ever. Seriously, this is what me and my girl use as a benchmark to rate other places CR’s. Everywhere else somehow falls short, which is inexplicable since this is historically a burger place, lol

Additionally their shakes are superbomb as is their soft serve.“

“Came in by myself with a large order (picking up for 6 people) and had the best experience I have had at this store. Jessica was able to rapidly put together each of my bowls and about a million side orders for my kids, all with a smile on her face. Wade was right on top of baggging everthing up and finishing out the last few things I needed, had me rung up and out the door really quickly. Cool thing was that even though I was in and out in less than 8 minutes, they both still took the time to be super freaking friendly and make absolutely no mistakes.
I have a happy household tonight, and it was all a feel good experience.
Thanks guys, y'all really restored my faith tonight.“
