El Forastero

Mexican fast food, but actually tastes like real Mexican food, not just fake cheese and frozen ingredients! The guac and cheese nachos are really yummy, and my boyfriend says the tacos are good too! Good if you want something quick and cheap (: did find a hair in my food once, but hey that happens. Restaurant seemed clean and well kept.

Chili relleno on special for $ 7.25 loaded with cheese and fried just right. TVs were off, OK as there were other customers so atmosphere was nice. Large number of items to choose from all under $ 10

–Terrible breakfast burrito, super greasy. I collected a pool of grease from the bottom of my burrito. Couldn’t finish
–Terrible Carne Asada Fries. Fries were cheap a$$ microwaved fries and meat was not carne asada, it was ground beef. The main ingredient was cheese. Disgusting, couldn’t even finish the food.
–Found what looked to be a pubic hair in my burrito, I’m praying it was a beard hair or something less gross than a pubic hair.
–worst customer service I’ve encountered in 20 years
Never coming back!
Don’t waste time or money here

I really like this place. Great food. I love their mini chicken tacos. My son loves their 4 piece chicken nugget kid meal. The only down fall is the drive through can take awhile, but other than that it’s great. Also it’s a good place to get a freshly juiced carrot drink.

I LOVE THIS PLACE SOOOO MUCH but I walked here after working out at 24 hour fitness before heading home and I was craving a carne asada taco only to find the door locked! I have recently called this place in the past to see when the lobby closed and it was always 11 pm. I got there at 10:50 pm which I know is cutting it close but listen to this next part. as I was walking up I saw someone at the counter who literally saw me walking up and then went to the back right before I got to the door. this homie literally saw me and hid in the back. I knocked on the door bc I saw him and no one came. like really? I know y’all were closing the lobby in 10 minutes but that’s more than enough time to make a freaking taco which is ALL I wanted but okay okay okay cool I see you

Great food, good price, good service. What more can I say. I would recommend the carnitas super burrito it’s tip top!

I keep coming back; as I work up the street. The food is OK, my issue is the service. Why do you have coupons on your website, then not honor them when customers try to use one? Twice now I have been looked at like I was a liar, just because their staff is not aware that they offer coupons on their site. GET IT TOGETHER! COMMUNICATION!

Honestly, this place sucks so much. My friends dragged me here again, and even when you’re drunk it’s awful. Terrible. May god have mercy on this restaurant.

They never get my order right, and their nachos are small and never have enough cheese! There is a much better and cheaper place down the street. I’ll be going there from now on.

This is the worst of the El Forastero branches in the greater Sacramento area. They’re skimpy on the meat and the fries are never cooked all the way, so you end up with hard fries with not much on them (I’m talking specifically about the carne asada fries). Also, their red sauce sucks compared to the other El Forasteros in the area.

Every once in awhile, when we are super lazy and craving greasy mexican food, we will hit up the Forastero drive-​thru. My favorite is the quesadilla meal, or the breakfast burrito. They don’t even mind when I request things like adding fajita veggies. Good value, and tasty food!

The rolled tacos are pretty good but the jamon and huevos burrito is a little lacking.
If they weren’t so conveniently located I think I would find another place.

It’s ok just a different family member of Adebertos, Carolinas. Priced fair, «here’s your ton of food» serious the portions are enormous. I think the best thing is steak nachos. It’s huge, enough for 3. Rolled tacos aren’t bad, a little greasy. They don’t usually speak English so check your order.

I actually love their tacos but when we walked in it looked like the front area had not been cleaned for hours. The employees are pleasant but I would not be touching their salsa bar when it looks like that. 5 star taste 1 star cleanliness equals 3 star ratin for me

Great chicken burrito. Have them add some picodeguo!
Pretty much the exact same menu Adalbertos and all the other «burrito» places in the area.

Great bang for your buck. Come here expecting generous portions and leaving with a tinge of guilt.

I normally love this place as their shrimp tostadas remind me of this amazing taco stand in Puerto Vallarta I’ve been too. But I went last night and went through the drive thru around 2 am with one of my friends visiting from out of town. My friend was starving and can’t eat gluten. So I order him the shrimp tostada just no tortilla. The guy decided to charge us 11 bucks for 2. I order them enough there to know the price with or without a drink. He over charged us. When i said something to him about the price. He went on to say well that’s the price for tonight. I may not go back due to this and I think the guy probably thought we were just drunk and coming from Luna, Longshots or ernies and thought he could pull one on us!!! I was completely sober but yes my friend was completely sober!

Maybe I’m just spoiled by good Mexican food, maybe it’s the fact that I’ve eaten more Mexican food than I care to admit in my lifetime, it’s my fav thing ever!!!
Wts… I was highly disappointed in the super steak burrito, while the order was done correctly the flavorless meat made me cringe, I was out running mom errands and was forced to choke it down, the salsa was watery and lacking any real flavor other than heat. You should be able to taste salsa it isn’t ketchup, idk maybe I’m too picky about it. Maybe it’s too much to ask for to actually have tasty morsels placed into a warm oversized tortilla. This is the wanna be Taco Bell without the horse meat tacos

No personality in drive thru. Just darn right unenthusiastic. At least she said thank you, but it was a chore.
Food was meh, Burrito lukewarm. I’ve had better but at least it was edible.
Extensive menu which looks good but I feel they cater to customers looking for less than authentic mex food.
Sorry guys but I would rather eat at Jimboys.

First time stopping by.
I ordered:
Chips & salsa w/​cheese = a whole styrofoam container lined with yellow paper and filled to the brim with chips with some melted cheese and a mile high mound of pico de gallo salsa. You could share this with 4 people (quantity impressive over quality)
Mini carne asada tacos came in styrofoam. 2 small white corn tortillas, meat (meh), and a bit of cilantro.
Chicken quesadilla = OMG! This thing was the size of a football. Imagine a huge burrito sized tortilla stuffed with greasy cheese, shredded chicken and red sauce. You could feed 3 people with this. Again, quantity over quality. Could have used some grilling to give the tortilla some structure.
$ 15 total (I should have had this with 4 other folks)
Great for late night if you are out beyond midnight. Before midnight, this may come in handy as a local drive thru. Not the greatest or healthiest, but the most convenient.
