By far and without a doubt, this is the best Taqueria in Placerville, Diamond Springs and Shingle Springs; So if you are in search delicious authentic Mexican cuisine, there’s no other place to go accept El Carnival! This restaurant is always extremely clean and the customer service is second to none. El carnivals one of those restaurants everybody wishes they had nearby.

Yeah that was amazing. 3 taco plate with rice and beans 14.99. Mariachi band was incredible. Pork taco was my favorite. Cleaned the plate.
Delicious. They even upgraded my beer with a super frosty mug with lemon and tajin. The torta was a little on the smaller side for the price but was very satisfying. The salsa bar was a hit too. I especially loved the spiced up onions.
El Carnival has good, homemade aunthenic Mexican food with a cheery, upbeat atmosphere. Mariachi music and FIFA World Cup while you eat! What could be better?!?
I am from Southern California and this place was s NOT very authentic when it comes to the food.
Ordered the carne asada burrito and the meat had NO flavor. Neither did the rice and beans in it.
I added medium salsa to give this burrito some flavor and it didn’t work.
Also ordered the fries and they weren’t edible.don’t order the fries period.
Gave this place 2 stars because of the decor and cleanliness.
But the will not be going back. I should of went to chipotle.
In short.
It was Fantastic! We went back for seconds! Loaded up tacos! Awesome Chips and Salsa bar! Very fast and super clean!
In not-so-short.
I had (regular) tacos. Like, "street taco" type.
First round was Tripe, crispy with a deep flavor!
Carnitas, some crispiness and some moistness, I added some more salsa (From thier awesome chips and salsa bar)
Asada, it was just perfect!
And last, but far from least, was Chili Colorado! What!? Heck ya, Chili Colorado! It was spectacular!
Went back for another and also tried the Pastor. They chopped up the pastor finer then I have had before and with that marinade - I think that's the way to go. Another win!
All the tacos were so full that I basically made a plate of Nachos with all the meat that fell out!
The kids are so picky...they made some really simple quesadillas for them. Then with the power of bribery, they meekly tried some of the extra meat from my Tacos and earned themselves one of the most beautiful churros I have ever seen.
-Then for the first time all day, they sat in silence.
All hail the Silencing powers of "El Churro!"
It was really laid back. They definitely have repeat customers too! At least 1/3 of the patrons were greeted by name at their tables. We were checked on by everyone.
We had a great experience!
Can't wait to be by again!
Thanks so much guys!
Keep it coming!
I love this restaurant. Their food is so good. I like coming here every time I come to Placerville. It's the highlight of my day.
Surprisingly good. It's tucked away in a shopping center. You wouldn't notice it if you weren't looking. Plenty of seating.
Really good carnitas!
