25 Best Mexican Restaurants in Vacaville

“Good food,good customer service & nice ambiance if you like mexican food a must try place!“

“I was visiting from Texas and just happened to see this place from across the street. So glad we went in. Great service from amazing people. Food was excellent. Clean, clean, clean. We ordered the tacos, quesabirrias, and menudo. Tacos and Quesabirrias were great. Fresh ingredients ! I was skeptical about the menudo because everyone makes it different in Texas and it can have flavors you’re not ready for. Their menudo was great! Reminded me of my dad’s. Wish we had some of these in Texas.“

“Family run business, Great Food,Friendly Staff, great location, and a Vacaville piece of History !!!“

“This is my all-time favorite place to eat! I live across the country now and the last time I visited Vacaville, I brought back 2 Shrimp Super Burritos in a cooler (with the tortilla on the side so it wasn’t soggy). I haven’t had El Patron in over a year now… I would sell my soul for a burrito.“

“The best Mexican food I've ever had!Free chips and salsa, both the green and red are awesome.This was actually the first place I ever went after I left the hospital as a baby.I still go monthly if I can!Make sure to try the steak ranchero burrito, it's to die for“

“We ordered a Burrito and they Voluntarily gave us a free delicious Strawberry horchata. I will come again just based on their great customer quality service.Burrito was HUGE and delicious, Wow.
Worth the money
Thanks again!!!“

“Excellent food and service“

“been having great food here since 1976 -77. just great food.“

“This is the freshest Mexican food you'll get anywhere in the county. Chile verde is my fave. The shrimp cocktail. Fiesta salad if I need to save room for Daniels margaritas. Hibiscus margarita with a tajin. Also the secret ingredient Paloma and spicy margarita! Great bar to watch football. Go Rams!“

“My friend and I came here after a hard leg 🦵 day at Vacaville Strength Experience gym. The place wasn't busy until after we walked in. After getting home, my friend realized that the "breakfast menu" specifically said REFRIED BEANS & RICE come with it. My friend did notice the bag was light but was alarmed until it was too late. Also, notice that a lot of the sauce tipped over inside the plastic bag because the Styrofoam was not as surcure as it should have been. The food was VERY TASTY, but disappointing due to the amount we paid was not sufficient due to not getting what we ordered and the fact they weren't busy and knowing their menu and what comes with it. 2 stars out of 5 💜💜🖤🖤🖤“

“I had the fish fajitas salad which was fantastic. Another friend had the fish tacos and said she gets them every time. I’ll definitely be back!!“

“I purchased two Cali bowls. 1-Carnitas bowl with the pinto beans, pico de gallo & lettuce on the side, and 1-chicken w/rice and beans bowl with pico de gallo/lettuce on the side. They included chips instead of the tortillas which was still delicious. Also #24 (?), bacon breakfast burrito with sour cream. EXTRA GREEN SALSA (DELICIOUS AND SPICY).“

“I’m not a picky eater so it is definitely my opinion when I say I love the food here. I’ve never had an issue with my orders and the food turns out amazing every time. I’ve even gotten a free meal all because it was closing time when I was picking up my order. Associates are amazing and have great customer service. Would definitely recommend!“

“We stopped by Favela’s in Vacaville on Taco Tuesday, and it was a great deal all around. The tacos were fresh, the price was right, and the vibe was relaxed. My wife really enjoyed her taco salad—it was loaded, crisp, and satisfying. We also got the chips and guacamole, which were fresh and flavorful, a solid starter.

Our daughter had the quesadilla, and it was a good-sized portion for a kid’s meal—she loved it. The staff was kind, and even though it got a bit busy, we never felt ignored. Seating is casual but clean, and the food came out hot and well-prepared.

If you’re looking for affordable Mexican food with generous portions and a family-friendly environment, especially on Taco Tuesday, Favela’s is definitely worth the visit. We’ll be back for more.“

“I have been going here for a long time. It has had its ups and downs and I would give the food 5 stars with no hesitation. Sometimes the service is lacking but it is well worth the minor inconvenience.

Kid-friendliness: Open seating arrangement plenty of high chairs and boosters.

Wheelchair accessibility: Normal ramp/sidewalk“

“Wife and I had lunch here for the first time on our list of places to try. One regular burrito with carne asada and one super burrito with carnitas. Both were good and probably the best taqueria style burritos we've had so far in Vacaville. Look forward to going again soon.“

“This place screams “local,” and in a good way! Actually, that isn't true. The place welcomes you like you are long-standing customer, even when you aren't.

Tucked into a nondescript, old school, strip mall a few blocks off the freeway, you have either live here or stumble upon it. Our group was in the latter category. And thank goodness we did!

Incredibly warm and friendly customer service. Tasty tacos. Nicely varied salsas and fresh pico. A range of drinks. Checks all the boxes for a quick lunch, take out, or even dinner (as their menu is extensive without being overwhelming). The dining room? It is functional and does the job.

Any time my group is in the area, we will be stopping here. And I would recommend others take the time to discover this place.

Thanks for a great experience. It was the perfect stop on our annual trip.“

“Delicious! only problem is the long line for the food“

“In an era of decreased quality and increased prices I am so happy to leave this review. I have NEVER gotten food from a fast food restaurant which looked exactly like the menu photo until now! Food was beautifully made. Ordered 3 fire grilled combos. Delish. Woman at the window was accurate, efficient, polite and welcoming. 10/10 highly recommended this location (Vacaville, CA E Monte Vista). As a busy mom it’s refreshing to find a place who still cares about service and quality when on the go.“

“Fast and delicious, we will totally be going back!“

“Murillo’s came as a recommendation from a server at another restaurant. It was fantastic. The portions were perfect. Was were there on the weekend so my son was able to enjoy the posole. The service we received was attentive and very friendly. Will definitely go again the next time I am in Vacaville.“

“We go here on Fridays or Saturdays for their outdoor taco cart street style tacos. We always get pastor, asada and suadero. They have all the toppings on the side so you can fix them just how you like. These tacos hit the spot everytime and never miss. Kids love these tacos too so thats always a plus when they eat and dont complain.“

“Me and my friend came here on our way back from visiting Oakland for the weekend we were looking for somthing cheep, and reliable that would fill us up and not drain out banks😅. Service was extremely good and the food was absolutely amazing, I got 3 small tacos and a large horchata for $15.65 really cheep for the amount and really filling. Would recommend any time going to or through the bay. Or if your in the area.
🤌🤌🤌 🤌“

“Definitely better than Taco Bell.“

“Fantastic selection of flavors and tasty treats. Absolutely love this place. Great service and you can tell how much love they put into their creations! Just learned they do birthday parties and events as well!!! Awesome addition to Vacavilles family owned and operated establishments.“
