Food was great! Had the carnitas burrito with hot salsa and it was everything you want in a burrito: fresh, simple, no fat on the carnitas, and just spicy enough with the hot salsa. On top of that the staff and owners are very friendly and care about delivering a quality product. Will be coming back! $1 Taco Tuesdays all day, every Tuesday! You can't beat that!!

Just visited the truck outside of Sutter and holy cow this place is good. It was a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. $12 for nachos but it took two of us to finish them (and we had to try.) The staff is also incredibly friendly! I hope to see them around.

Super great and Friendly Staff. They were nice enough to catering event I was attending and the freshness of the ingredients was top notch. They are the type of tacos that you have eaten 5 before you know what happened and just want to keep going back for more. If looking for a nice taco spot in the Sacramento area or want nice catering for an event, highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Paquita's Mexican Grill in Sacramento, CA, and let me tell you, it was an experience that exceeded all expectations! This restaurant truly serves Mexican food at its finest. What sets Paquita's apart is their incredible story. They started as a humble food truck, but their exceptional food quickly gained popularity among locals. This overwhelming response prompted them to open a brick-and-mortar location, and it's easy to see why. The food here is absolutely amazing! During my visit, I opted for the veggie burrito, and I was blown away by how delicious it was. The tortilla was incredibly fresh, and the Spanish rice inside was bursting with flavor. The house-made sauce added the perfect level of tanginess, and the inclusion of fresh veggies in the burrito was a delightful touch. Every bite was a delightful blend of textures and tastes, leaving me craving more. However, what made this dining experience truly exceptional was the presence of Paquita Sr, the owner and manager. His warmth, friendliness, and helpful nature were evident from the moment I walked in. It's clear that Paquita's Mexican Grill is a family affair, with an amazing father-son team at the helm. The passion they bring to their craft is palpable, and it shines through in the quality of their food and service. I also learned that Paquita's Mexican Grill receives numerous catering orders, and it's no surprise. The attention to detail, authentic flavors, and outstanding customer service make them an excellent choice for any catering needs. Whether it's a small gathering or a large event, you can trust Paquita's to deliver a memorable and delicious experience. I highly encourage everyone to visit Paquita's Mexican Grill and indulge in their incredible cuisine. This establishment is a testament to hard work, dedication, and a love for sharing the flavors of Mexico with the community. So, come and experience the culinary wonders crafted by this exceptional father-son team. You won't be disappointed!

Booking Paquitas Mexican Grill was the best thing for our Taco and Tequila Wedding. Rubén, was awesome! He answered my questions right there and then. Asked him if we could do a tasting and sure enough, he made that happened! His vibe was everything and my husband and I were like “Yup, this is it”. We had already inquired with other similar vendors but somehow we didn’t connect. I’m glad we did with Paquitas. Our guest truly enjoyed an upscale Taco Bar. From the way they set up to the way they delivered , EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! His staff was awesome as well! If you’re looking for fast communication and someone to cater your event with passion, Paquitas it is! Thank you guys so much! Wishing you all the best and many many more events to come!
