" Last night, I was in the mood for Mexican food and was so glad I chose El Forastero. Their super nachos are a mountain of deliciousness! It was more than enough for one person and could easily feed two, maybe even three. I loved the fresh toppings and the generous amount of cheese. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded during dinner time, and the service was slower than expected. But still, the food made it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Forastero is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite, especially given their 24-hour service. I love the convenience and that I can stop by at any hour of the day or night! The tacos are typically solid, with fresh ingredients and great seasoning. I've tried almost everything on the menu, and while some items are better than others, I can't complain much. Just be warned – the line at the drive-thru can sometimes be long, especially on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I go to El Forastero, I am reminded of my travels in Mexico. The food is flavorful and authentic, and you can tell they really care about their customers. The carne asada taco was juicy and perfectly marinated. The chips were freshly made and paired well with their homemade salsa. This place gives you that homey feel, making it perfect for a family meal. I highly recommend trying the horchata as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stopped at El Forastero while driving through Sacramento, and I'm delighted I did! The chicken torta was absolutely delicious and generously portioned. The ingredients felt fresh and flavorful. The only complaint I have is regarding the cleanliness of the dining area; it could use more attention. Busy times seem to leave the tables a bit messy. I would definitely recommend the place for its food, though. Price-wise, it’s reasonable given the quality you get. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit to El Forastero was a mixed bag. While the food is usually great, this time my food was not hot enough, and the flavors were just off. The taco salad lacked the fresh vegetables I remember liking. I spoke to the staff to address the issue, and they were gracious about it, which I appreciated. I would come back again in hopes of a better experience, but I was a bit disappointed this time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited El Forastero for a late-night snack after a long day, and it was everything we needed! The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly helpful. The tacos were topped with fresh ingredients, and the flavor was just right. I'm glad to say they are indeed authentic! There was a bit of a wait, but it was manageable, and we had a great time chatting while we waited for our food. Would definitely return, possibly to try their breakfast items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by El Forastero on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by their extensive menu. I ordered a chicken burrito that was filled to the brim with perfectly seasoned chicken. However, the order accuracy is often hit-or-miss. I frequently get tacos instead of burritos when I ask for one! The service can be a bit slow, especially late at night, but the quality of the food makes it worth the wait. It's a great place for something quick and satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)
