Cesar’s Quick Lunch Grass Valley — Restaurant in Grass Valley

Wow! I had lunch here today after hearing my co-workers rave about this place. I had the pork pastor burrito. I was shocked by how good it was. And not just good, but DIFFERENT. It had a little something that goes really well in food. I call it FLAVOR! :)

Same goes for their spicy salsa. Totally delicious, but also really different (and genuinely hot.)

This place is like finding a special mom-and-pop taqueria in Mexico, where they're not just copying the same old thing that every other taqueria is doing. They're using unique recipes that have genuine flavor.

As a transplant from Austin, Texas, where the Tex-mex is off the hook, I was really happy to find this place. They're totally going to get sick of seeing my face...

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Grass Valley. I always order the taco plate with 3 tacos (the carnitas is divine, roasted then fried) which comes with a side of beans and rice. The tacos are street tacos so you get 2 street taco-sized tortillas, a generous amount of meat, onions and cilantro, with pickled jalapeños and carrots on the side. The tacos are as delicious and authentic as street tacos in Mexico.

Complimentary homemade agua fresco is included with each order. My favorite is the berry lime.

The staff and owner are super friendly. The space, including the tables and bar, is clean and tidy. The food is reasonably priced. I really can't say enough good things...

Ate here for the first time tonight. The food was so bland and messy. I had a ranchero burrito with carnitas, but all it tasted like was flavorless, sopping wet pinto beans. They left a bunch of food out of our order, which they very reluctantly replaced for us after we drove back and debated for a bit. It sounds like other people like this place. Maybe we just went on a bad night or too close to closing. Idk. Hard to recommend it after what we had...
