El Abajeño Tacos — Restaurant in Roseville

Best Mexican food in Roseville, CA. No cap though, but most people in the area already know that (most not all). If you're not from the area and you're considering getting Mexican food in the Roseville area for whatever reason, beside the whole"I went to denios and found the most charming little Mexican place." Then you'll want to be sure to respect the culture of course, but also keep in mind that it's a local favorite to many of us who were young being dragged to Denios at an unearthly hour for Rafa's tacos. (EL Abajeño). Rafa started with a taco truck and the rest was pretty much a done deal. So yeahhh this place is a big deal, but see for yourself. Before I end this review just one last fyi; no they don't sell California burritos cause that's not really Mexican and neither are burritos in general. They do sell burritos with your choice of delicious carne etc, but the tacos, tortas, flautas, and sopes are the real hitters...

So I, unfortunately, didn’t even get to the point of trying their food, because the girl who took my to-go order over the phone was so increasingly rude that I had to cancel my order. After hearing a disinterested and short tone while ordering, I asked to pick up in about 90 minutes from the time I called, because I was placing a pretty large order and was driving in from out of town. After a long pause and a drawn-out “ok, I GUESS we can do that”, she asked me what time they should start preparing the order, which I had no idea because I …am not the one preparing the food. She then managed to sound even more annoyed than before. Very disappointed because the reviews said they...

It's a hole in the wall, but aren't those always the best places to get amazing tacos?

I was referred to this restaurant specifically for the fish tacos and they didn't disappoint. The adobado (similar to an al pastor) was also phenomenal.

One other important point to make is that in these times of excessive food prices (really everything prices), you can come here for a reasonably priced, extremely yummy meal. Hard to argue...
