Los Cabos Grill & Cantina — Restaurant in Roseville

Don't go here if you like food that is seasoned. Taco Bell and Del Taco are better. We shouldn't have even gone in. Through the window, we saw three dirty tables and there were only customers at one other table when we arrived at 6:30 to get dinner. We thought, well, maybe all those people just left so we have it a shot. The young person who took our order was incredibly slow in writing everything down and she looked miserable. The register wasn't automated so it was slow going to ring us up. By the time we were done, there were three other sets of people waiting to order. I ordered a super chicken taco plate. Hard to believe, but the chicken wasn't seasoned. There was a mound of shredded lettuce, sour cream, and the blandest guacamole on it. Not a single tomato, no pico de gallo, no salsa or flavoring. I had to use salt. The rice and beans were your average school cafeteria kind. My husband had a carnitas enchilada and taco plate and it was equally bland. My mother-in-law had an a la carte carnitas street taco - which she did like - and an oddly composed green salad which was composed of about eight large pieces of lettuce, three slices of unripened tomato, three slices of orange and a couple of hunks of onion. The chips and salsa were just okay. The ingredients were all fresh and the food came out quickly, but it was gringo cafeteria food for the most part. We won't...

We love this place. Found it during covid and we rarely go to other places. Is it the most authentic, no. I think for where we live it’s pretty decent. I only get two things here, they are my tried and true. Firstly the chicken is where it is at. I’m sorry if you like the pork or beef, don’t come here for that, it’s ok, but the pollo asada is the best. I get the dinner plate and the nachos. But I add beans to the nachos. Their horchata is also super yummy. Everyone we introduce it to likes it. We’ve never tried anything bad there but only get lunch or dinner items. The chips at the chip bar are really the worst thing there, husband and I don’t understand why the chips they use in the nachos are not the same at the chip bar. lol. I asked once because everyone is super friendly! And they said they use yellow tortilla chips at the bar and white tortilla chips in the nachos. It makes a difference people. One of the cashiers even helped me to my car with my drinks and food while I carried my baby car seat. We come several times a month and have not once ever seen bugs or rodents as one reviewer said. The place is always clean and bright. It has gone up in price as has everything and that is my only objection to going more often honestly. Price increase for a lot of places makes it a little less...

There are probably hundreds of Mexican joints around the greater Sacramento area, and this is a good one. My first impressions: staff is friendly, efficient, and FAST. I have the advantage of an early lunch break, so I watched the 11:58 rush (maybe 15 people at once) get ordered and served within about ten minutes. Color me impressed.

I was feeling uninspired, so went for an Al Pastor "super burrito" - a staple for people for whom Mexican food is scary. The pork was very nicely seasoned and cooked, and they get bonus points for actually assembling a burrito that doesn't have all the beans at one end, and the meat at the other. Apparently this is a difficult thing. Home-made chips & salsa were free, and the salsas were good, though I was a bit disappointed to not have pico de gallo as an option.

I'll definitely be back to try some of their more traditional fare, so I think that's...
