Taqueria Rincon Alteno

I love this place. Al pastor is legit. The nachos are delicious. The salsas are tasty. Seems to be kept clean. Repeat customer!

Time for an update! Tried them again last night for dinner since I had a 530 appt at my vet's office next door. I ordered online so I would not have to wait and scheduled it for 5:15. Didn't realize there was a $1.75 convenience fee til after I paid but it gives you 7% rewards to use later that slightly exceeded it. I arrived at 5:20 and not only was it not ready, it was not started til I got there. It took less than ten minutes for them to make it which should have been a sign. I ordered 2 birria tacos, super burrito and super nachos for $37.Birria has become very popular recently so I like to try how different places make it. Do NOT get them here. They were not authentic and they charge an extra $2 for the consume dip. Most places it comes with at least a small side of it. They also put rice and salsa inside it which ruins the whole texture. Little cheese and no flavor. The shell was super soggy when it should be crisp. It was so bad that we both had two bites and threw it away. The burrito was hefty but meat was scarce for $12. It was mostly rice and beans. The nachos were also just eh. Hardly any cheese. I asked for sour cream on the side and there was none. The only saving grace is that their chips and salsa bar is pretty good. I like the variety and freshness. The place is clean and the staff are generally nice. I always prefer to support the small business but I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Very disappointed!

Came to enjoy a shrimp cocktail and one of my favorite crispy chicken tacos With an ice cold Michelada. This is definitely my go to when it comes to crispy chicken tacos. Tortilla shell not too crispy, fried perfect enough to bite into without shell breaking comes with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Perfect with their spicy tomatillo salsa.Food is always made fresh to order & comes to the table quick and service is always great.

Me and my boyfriend went on a Friday night. The ambiance is all right nothing fancy. They have a salad bar full of different salsas and you pay for chips which are .50. The food seems like homemade Mexican food. I tried the pozole and my boyfriend got the steak fajitas plate which comes with meat stir fried with bell peppers and onions, tortillas, rice, guacamole, and beans. My pozole came with cabbage, onions, and 4 tostadas. It only had a little bit of meat which kind of disappointing. It was pretty spicy but it was good. The cashiers are friendly and they bring out the food very fast. We've gone there a couple of times and they always give big portions for the price and everything is good.

Burritos today's for lunch with the co-worker. Food was great, place was clean, prices were pretty good. Waitress was super friendly and cleaned the table before we sat down. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that both burritos fell apart while eating. Finished the burrito up with a fork. Definitely recommend.

Used to go here years back last time we lived in Sacramento. Forgot about it for a minute, but saw it one day and thought I'd see if it was still good. Definitely was. Service was quick and friendly. Food was great. Good price also.

I've been here a few times over the years, before and after the pandemic. In all that time, the food quality and quantity have stayed consistent. If you want good, hearty, no frills Mexican food, Taqueria Rincon Alteno is the spot to go in Natomas.I've been here for lunch and dinner. It gets busy at lunch so I prefer coming in for a later dinner when it isn't so crowded. So far, I've tried their carnitas and carne asada both in burritos and their dinner platters. Their whole beans are cooked exactly how I like them, still a little firm and with very little liquid. The rice is perfectly fluffy each time. I had their posole on a cold, rainy day and it hit the spot. On my last visit, I had their carne asada nachos. At first I thought there was no way I could eat the whole thing, but I underestimated myself. The toppings were generous without turning the whole thing into a soggy mess. The guacamole was outstanding. I will definitely be back for this.The restaurant is clean and tidy. Service was good. Our order was taken promptly and our food came out shortly thereafter. TRA is located in a strip mall next to an Indian market and Filipino restaurant. Parking was plentiful.I will most definitely be back for the posole and the nachos.

This is a quick and decent Mexican food place in Northern Sacramento. The inside has some seating but probably better to-go. The menu is fairly complete. The salsa bar has a decent selection and the chips are in a self serve warmer. My only issue was the bragging on Yelp of how this was so much better than the others. The food was good but didn't stand out above other places. But comments just lead to too much hype that this place couldn't live up to. Just to be clear there is nothing wrong with the food. The staff was great for the 10 minutes I was there. If staying in the area again I may return. But I would not pass multiple places to come here.

This is my fave taqueria in Natomas for the last 20 years, and trust me when i say that i've tried A LOT of them. I haven't tried anything there that i didn't like. Carne plates, burritos, salads, street tacos, crunchy tacos, quesadillas, nachos, chile relleno, enchiladas, shrimp cocktail...all fantastic. And their salsas are not tame. Full of flavor and pack a punch. I would go here any and every day if i could. They are friendly, clean, spacious, quick and flavorful. A great place to go and watch a soccer game or boxing match too. Don't miss out on this local gem.

If you order to go they will give you different meat. Ordered an asada super taco and inside was chicken instead. When I went to pick up my to go order the cashier said the salsa was at the bottom just to find out there was no salsa at all.
