Still in the hunt for the best Chile Relleno in the Sac area, and very open to suggestions. **This was a DoorDash Order** Chile Rellano Burrito: 6.1/10 - Better than others I've tried. Nice portion, the pepper itself was the star of the burrito (as it should be). Crispy Taco (Chicken): 6.3/10 - Better than Taco Bell, good portion of meat, a bit too seasoned, but fine, I guess. Tres Leches Cake: 6.6/10 - Def a different take on this dessert. More of an upscale, frufru rendition. Not bad per se, just not what I was expecting. Overall, it's fine. Prices are decent. Portions are good. I need to try additional items. Try em out!
I've been coming here for years. I always stumble into this place after a night out for some food. It's conveniently located down the street from few bars so it can get overcrowded. I typically stick to their quesadilla, you can't go wrong.
I love Chita's. It's one of those places you go to all the time when you live in the neighborhood. Then when you move away, you come back for the delicious food, the warm service, and the one of a kind vibe. I like the paintings too. It's a little tight inside, but i think that adds to the ambiance. For a place that's so busy, it's nice to see all the smiles of the patrons & workers. Good food, good space. Ooooo and good drinks too.
Stopped by this morning to try their breakfast burritos and ended up getting tortas. I added ham to one and chorizo to another; both delicious. The ham was thin-sliced, eggs were fluffy, beans were creamy and the cilantro and onion inside popped. It was very satisfying. Will definitely order again. The chorizo was flavorful without the grease. Nice people, quick service. Cute little eating area inside, couple of counter-style spots and some small tables. Edited to add: got a breakfast burrito with steak for my 16 year old and he said it was better than Oscars and Adalbertacos on Florin.
Happy to report the foods just as good as it was when I started eating here over 10 years ago. Old lady even loved it. I ordered us a burrito too and she legit said it was the best burrito she's ever had. It was still fire a couple days later. Hands down favorite place. Highly recommended. Still!
We ordered Doordash delivery on a Monday night. We had the regular burrito ($12.15) with added sour cream ($.65) and the steak taco salad ($13). Taco salad was very tasty. However, I wouldn't exactly call it a "salad". It had about as much lettuce as a Taco Bell crunchy taco. If you fancy a nice 7-layer dip in an edible fried shell, then this is the dish for you! It comes with rice, beans, meat, pico, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and guacamole. The shell was amazing and makes the perfect "chip" for your bowl of dip. The steak was finely diced (like smaller than a dime) and flavorful. Al pastor regular burrito with added sour cream was great. Comes with choice of meat, rice, beans, and cheese. It's grilled on the outside and has plenty of cheese. I imagine the Al Pastor is the best meat choice, because I simply can't comprehend the idea of anything tasting better! Their mini salsas were quite lovely, but use sparingly because you only get 2 per meal. Also, both made great leftovers the next day.
Last week, I was scrolling through the Chita's menu on Yelp while doing laundry nearby at Love. I could remember old school Yelpers raving about Chita's years ago, and the ratings were still high. Even better, their wet burrito with carne asada was several dollars cheaper than the one from my favorite taqueria in Folsom. Sold. I walked right over to Chita's to order a wet burrito with carne asada, to go, as well as a tamarind Jarritos. When I was paying, the woman behind the counter asked me if I wanted salsa cups. "Yes please!" I always want salsa cups. I didn't notice until after I had paid that chips were sold on the side for $1.50 extra. I should have ordered some, but didn't. My food didn't take very long to come out at all. I walked it back to my spot, and cut right into the middle. The first things I saw were carne asada, guacamole, rice, and pico de gallo-- and I saw a LOT of guacamole. Perfect. The burrito was (by definition) drenched in red sauce, so I wasn't really able to try any of the rest of the salsa with it. I still tried a little of the avocado sauce, and thought it was good, but a little watery. The ingredients on the inside of the burrito were all great. The carne asada and guacamole were top notch for a taqueria at this price point. I liked the red sauce that topped the burrito, but not as much as the sauce at my favorite taqueria chain. The portion size was a bit smaller, but I'm never able to finish the entire burrito at my favorite place, anyway. The customer service was great. The woman who helped me was very friendly. The inside of the shop was clean, but not sparkling. I would definitely love to come back to Chita's to try more of their menu items in the future.
Oh my gosh! My boyfriend and I were in the area and thought mexican food was a good option for dinner. We thought that Chita's was a solid choice since it's rated 4 stars and was open late. There's a bar of sauces/condiments near the cashier. I always love it when restaurants allow self-service so that you can fill up on whatever you want. I was in the mood for a quesadilla and ordered the super version. I did not know they were going to come out with a giant plate, but it was such a pleasant surprise. The quesadilla was insanely cheesy and flavorful. We really enjoyed the tortilla but I loved the amount of sour cream that they give you on the side. This was easily one of the top quesadillas I've ever had. I'm salivating while thinking about it :'( It got super busy around 9PM, with a rush of people coming in and out to dine in or pick up their orders. I didn't realize how appreciated this hole in the wall spot was and I would definitely come back! :)
