Best quick Mexican food stop in town. I've never experienced a long wait and service has always been friendly. A little pricey but trust me they give you a BUNCH of food so it's worth it. Gotta love the hole in the wall drive thru, very ambient.

I don't know that I have been there enough to "firmy" rate but based on a couple of visits, the food has been tasty and the service was top notch and will go again.

3 out of 5 stars because this 'cheap' Mexican food place is becoming too expensive. A vegetarian burrito with only beans rice and pico went from $6.99 to $8.99 last month. Not buying that anymore!

I watched an employee leave the restroom and proceeded to zip up and buckle his pants . I know he didn't wash his hands if his pants weren't on all the way before leaving the restroom. Disgusting disregard for hygiene and customers

We stopped in here returning from Tahoe. I had the carne asada burrito. It's was great! Large, tasty and lots of beef! We will stop in here again

I rarely post reviews unless the food or service is exceptional or horrible. I had never been before but a friend said I had to try it. I'm a fish taco lover so ordered 2 fish tacos. The fish was completely over cooked and resembled jerky. I couldn't believe the cook would actually expect someone to eat that. There was also so much sauce on it, maybe to camouflage the burnt fish. I am not a pickey eater but this was not even close to being edible. I thought no problem I'll ask for a few pieces of properly cooked fish. I went up to show the cashier and asked for just new fish or maybe chicken to replace the fish, she flat out told me "NO". I wasn't asking for my money back, just an edible taco. I'm not a young kid, or trouble maker looking for free food. I'm a 74 year old grandma and was very polite when I asked for new fish or chicken. Twice she just said "NO"!! FYI, she spoke perfect English and understood me. I just went back to my seat and left my entire lunch on the table. The beans and rice were nothing to brag about either. I have eaten fish tacos next door at JimBoys for years and they are always great. I will never go back to El Forestero. I will call the manager to complain about the young lady that was so rude to me, but I doubt it will do much good. Good customer service seems to be a thing of the past.

Fast food served in Styrofoam containers at high prices. Taco Bell is better.
