Mexquite Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Folsom

It saddens me I didn't take any photos. I cannot begin how AMAZING and over the top greatness the food is here! I gain a little eating here, however, 100% worth it!!!! I have been wanting to go back so badly.

Unfortunately, I'm not in that area very often. I ordered the chicken tacos and the sampler plate and also the burrito. It was more food then I could handle, so I took it home and reheated it in the air fryer the next day. Still amazingly great food.

I loved our waiter, he mentioned he came from the Cheesecake Factory as his last job. I forgot his name, but he deserves a raise. He was so on point, and he did stuff for us before we could even get the chance to ask him. Very observant and caring waiter. I left him the biggest tip I could give. Basically, for the first time in my life I over tipped someone... on purpose.

The atmosphere was great too, a good spot to take someone on a date or have a lunch/dinner meeting for work, or just go there on a normal day, because the food is just OMG AMAZING!!!!

The prices for the food I found reasonable and worth it. The alcoholic drinks on the other hand were indeed VERY pricey. So unfortunately I didn't have that, dispite I REALLY WANT TO TRY!! What they had looked amazing. Maybe one day when I feel like spurging and don't have to drive I'll...

The other evening, my family and I dined here for what will be the last time. After placing our order of entrees, drinks, and kids meals, our server asked, "Would you like some chips and salsa while you wait?" Naturally, we said, "Of course!"

What we didn’t expect was a $4.99 charge quietly added to our bill for them. Not chips with guacamole or any kind of specialty dip—just your basic basket of chips and salsa. At most places, this is complimentary, but here, it was tacked on without a word of warning.

Had he mentioned the charge, or even said, "Would you like to ORDER some chips and salsa?" I would have gladly declined. It’s not about the $4.99—it’s about transparency. Charging for something nearly universally considered a courtesy feels misleading. It’s like being handed a basket of bread at a steakhouse only to find out you're paying nearly $5 for it—no heads-up, just a surprise on the bill. It's a shame, I used to love...

A group of ten recently ate here for dinner and it was a memorable experience. Everything was top notch including the attentive service and excellent food. We started out with chips and salsa. The salsa was so flavorful, some of the best I have had at a Mexican restaurant. We also had the guacamole which we enjoyed. I had a combination plate that included a chicken mole enchilada, chile relleno with ground beef and covered with a sweet cream, walnut sauce, black beans and rice. The food was well prepared and tasty. Being a fan of mole, I was impressed with the mole on my enchilada - it was so good. The sauce on the relleno was different but also quite tasty. Everyone at our table had different entrees and all really enjoyed their meals. I was impressed at how quickly our food was brought out and how often our server checked on us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a fine meal...
