29 Best Mexican Restaurants in Vacaville

“Great place with ample indoor and outdoor dining areas. Food is great — and lots of it! Try the chicken mole!“

“Recently bookmarked Shula's as a spot to try since they had good ratings and crispy birria tacos. Went to Solano County Brewery and to my surprise their food truck was there!! Of course, I got my tacos and hubby got a cheeseburger. Both were absolute fire!! The 3 tacos were big and loaded with juicy, tender meat and cheese, fried to perfection! I was full after 2 and had to save the last 1! The consumé for dipping was on point! Hubby's burger was juicy and tasted as if it had a little bit of a Mexican twist to it which we loved! The fries were crispy and delicious as well and are amazing dipped in the leftover consumé! They were so good that we got a couple mulitas to go and they also did not disappoint, but I do think $4 is a little much for what they are. Overall we were happy with Shula's food and service and will definitely pick up some of their delicious food whenever we see them!“

“My family and I were downtown and craving Mexican food, and we were supposed to go to Los Reyes, but something was telling us to try this spot instead. So we went, and honestly, it wasn't bad at all. The food was delicious and fresh, and the price was decent. Of course, it's not as fancy looking at Los Reyes restaurant, but never judge a book by its cover. I will be coming here again.“

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

“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 !!!“

“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!!“

“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 💜💜🖤🖤🖤“

“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!“

“Staff was friendly and so was the Manager!
She’s very friendly and generous, asked about the locked restrooms and she kindly explained some people just go inside and leave a mess, which is understandable why they lock them.
Had a great time there, always kindly ask for things and they will never say no! Will 100% recommend!!❤️

PLEASE READ THE NAMES!
Don’t confuse monte vista California burrito with Peabody California. They are not the same owners! Nor the same store.
A lot of people leave bad complains thinking they are the same food chain but they are not. Always make sure you put the right one!“

“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“

“California has so many Mexican restaurants and Vacaville is no exception, but in my humble opinion no place is remotely close to reach the level of Burrito express. For the price, quality and quantity it is a 10/10!

It has been nearly 2 1/2 years since I’ve lived in California and I still think this place fondly.
I doubt I’ll be returning to California anytime soon but when I do my first stop is burrito express.“

“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“

“Excellent food and service“

“Wow! I can’t speak for anything else, the Al Pastor tacos were a solid five stars. The meat was lean and the veggies and salsa bar were amazing. My wife and I sat at the adjacent park and had a great evening. Super happy to have found this place!“

“I ordered the Asada burrito size medium and a chicken burrito size medium the total was $30 so i was shocked a little but they burrito is very large and filling. I wish there was more meat inside it was mainly rice and other toppings i feel they could’ve been a bit more generous with the protein. Service was great and food came out fast and was hot. Refried beans they use in the burrito are seasoned well too. Overall a good burrito but for the price I’d expect a little more meat.“

“This is one of the best pollo loco I have even visit too, I have been visit different ones like the one I’m Sacramento or Fairfield and isn’t the same as good as the Vacaville one, in Vacaville the chicken taste really good, and the cashiers are so nice and kind, I love the energy of the restaurant gives 😁✨“

“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.“

“Last minute lunch today and we stopped by, the place is beautiful and the workers were kind. The food was delicious after a long day. Only thing is we didn’t get tortillas with our plates, would’ve been nice to eat my beans and rice with it, and the rice was kinda dry. Salsa wasn’t too spicy, it balanced nicely, the guacamole that came with the quesadilla was delicious too. The shredded beef(carnitas, I think) in my tacos was the best part. I would recommend going in after a day of shopping.

Kid-friendliness: The place isn’t too bright and is very visually pleasing.“

“Since we moved out of state, we always make a point to eat at Murillos when we are back in town. It never disappoints and is always considered a highlight of our trip. You can always count in the food being delicious, the service being friendly, and the atmosphere welcoming.“

“This place is great. Ids so hood I went twice in one day. Had to put my supervisor up on the flavor value and setting, then went back that night with my family. It is a must have on any foodie's list.

Kid-friendliness: Family owned and operated and you can tell.“

“Best mangonada in town! My family goes there every week.“

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

“Amazing food and staff. My card declined twice unfortunately I was having problems with my credit card. He told me to take the food for free. They are very kind and generous, but luckily I had my debit card and that worked out just fine. Thank you for your kindness and delicious food!“

“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.“

“The online order app failed for a 2nd time! But they were awesome recovering the order. Food is four stars because the app needs to put the "default sauce options" MORE PRONOUNCED up front. I have the LAMEST tongue for spice... and just completely forgot to look at "sub details" -- look, i get it "how is that this taco bell's fault?" If Taco Bell as a franchise is wondering why their customers don't "repeat" as much as "ought to", i promise you... its for this reason (especially in this location) why my face isn't as constant.“

“usually don’t eat taco bell, but this specific location there was a young gentlemen with a ski mask on who took my order and was very professional and welcoming. If I ever eat taco bell again it will be at this location. I believe the gentlemen’s name was Zeniel.“

“Taco Bell is like McDonald's in that you know how it's going to look, smell, and taste, no matter where it's located. A big difference is that it's always made after you order; it hasn't been sitting in a warmer for awhile. Service is what separates the different locations, and this one has been consistently good. As with any restaurant, though, always check your order to make sure it's right before you drive away.“

“A near new location right off the freeway. The site has a dedicated turn only entrance so it's not as scary to get in as I thought it might be. The parking lot is a bit small but was spotlessly clean. Lobby is small but also was spotless. Service was fast and friendly and the food was well prepared and visually appetizing. A perfect well run location!!“
