La Texanita Restaurant

I love their Birria Soup.🙋 This is perfect in the fall and anytime you want a really good beef soup. The broth is so yummy 🤤 Toppings, tortillas, your choice, chips and salsa if you want. BTW- the Jamaica is not to sweet.

Saw this place on DDD and knew I had to go when I was going to be in Santa Rosa. Sooo good, homemade tortillas were to die for. Burritos were delicious and chips and salsa great too.

Was super hungry and this place delivered on all levels. Great spot for any number of guests and seemed super family friendly. Here's the breakdown... - Price is very reasonable. For example, homemade tortilla tacos were between $3-4 with non-homemade being $1.25-ish. - Food was very yummy. Everything was fresh and portions were substantial. Left feeling stuffed and happy. :) - Service was positive and prompt. We didn't wait long for anything, including food. - Atmosphere was really nice too, colorful walls and well lit. Wasn't too loud and the unique long hall layout worked well. - Drinks didnt look substantial but they offered your basic soft drinks and some more traditional beverage options. Enjoyed my time here and will be back. If you're craving good Mexican food then seriously give this place a try.

Love, love, love this restaurant. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Great menu. Food is always good no matter what I order. This time I had the grilled chicken salad. It was amazing. They bring chips with two different salsas... Spicy red and a green avacado and tomatillo. Both are really good. Can't wait to try the next dish.

Update 4/11/21. Still awesome! Authenic Mexican restaurant owned by Hispanics, staffed by Hispanics, the food is cooked by Hispanics, and it is served by Hispanics. They know what they're doing. The prices are good and the food is very good. Try it, you will like it!

Been wanting to try this place ever since I first saw it on triple d a decade or so ago. Didn’t disappoint! My wife had huevos rancheros that she raved about. She never raves about her food so it must have been delicious. I had the chilaquiles with carnitas which was also quite good. Little spot with artwork throughout the dining room. Service was good and food delicious!

Delicious place that was apparently visited by Guy Fieri! I had the mole! The sauce was the perfect balance of flavors and chocolate! The chicken was moist and falling off the bone! Only my second time having mole, but the following ones will have a hard time topping this!

We had mixed fajitas and Birrea. The food was amazing and so was the service. The tortillas were fresh and tasty. We drive from Vallejo and will definitely visit this place again!

Restaurant: La Texanita Address: 1667 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa I went here three times last week, made two fb posts about their food and decided to share it here also. These guys have been around for 20 years! I been sleeping on em born and raised in Santa Rosa and JUST discovered the best Mexican food spot EVER in Sonoma County. I got the shedded beef flautas and only ate three of the four the first time and I literally could not stop thinking about that fourth flauta all day last Tuesday. Had to grab lunch there on Wednesday, yes I got the same thing because they are amazing! Took my son out for dinner last night and yep I got the flautas again - feels like I'm making up for lost time son got the chilaquiles and cleaned the plate. They made me their version of taco dorado and OMG freaking delish. Needless to say all future meetings will be held here so I can work thru the menu. Went back a fourth time and got the molcajete and tacos dorados plate all phenomenal

I absolutely love this place I've been going here since I was a teen. The owner is super sweet and always remembers me. I usually get my usual which is a shrimp burrito. It is delicious! The beans are so creamy and full of flavor and the rice is not over seasoned. Everything wrapped in the flour tortilla just tastes so good! And they grill up the burrito just the way I like it. Some places tend to hardly warm up the tortilla and that really alters the taste of the whole burrito. The sopes, the chilaquiles, the menudo, and the tacos are also quite delicious! The inside is beautifully painted and they have 2 big screen tvs. When it's nice and warm, the patio is a nice seating area. It can get quite busy in the evenings so if you're eating there, there may be a short wait time.

Eaten there numerous times and was never disappointed. Small place so get there early.

I absolutely love this place and have been coming here for years. The service is always wonderful and the food is excellent. I also love the decor- very fun ambience. Typically I get their flautas with shredded chicken- those are my absolute favorite but last night I opted for a tostada with carne asada. I was not disappointed! My husband had their tacos al pastor. We've long said that their al pastor is one of the best we've ever had. Super friendly people, lovely restaurant, outstanding food. I highly recommend La Texanita!

Always great for the best takeout. Stopped by for an early dinner recently and the server was great.

A cold, rainy day begs for some hot soup. I was craving posole, so I pulled out my trusty Yelp app and found this place and made a togo order. I very much enjoyed the posole, it was full of great flavor! The only thing I would say, is the serving size looked much larger in the restaurant, I think that has to do with the togo containers they use. The other negative thing is they didn't honor the free soft drink coupon with Yelp check in. They didn't tell me until after they charged me $4.50 on my card for the bottle of Mexican Coke when I informed them I had the coupon before at order. I was told by the hostess their management acted like they had no knowledge of the yelp special.

Got to Santa Rosa early for a Yelp Elite Squad event and decide to check out this place since it was featured in Guy Fieri's Triple DDD show many moon ago. I was fortunate to meet the owner, Alma, who wanted to see my Yelp app as it was offering a free soda that she did not authorize with Yelp. No biggy. I then told Alma that I saw her episode on Triple DDD and she was very appreciative that of all the Mexican places in Santa Rosa (and there are a LOT especially on her street alone) that I choose to dine at her restaurant. The ambiance made us feel as if we were in Mexico; all of her staff were super friendly and helpful with our order. We were immediately served with chips and 2 kinds of salsa. We ordered burritos, pork huarache (to me its like a fork & knife Mexican Pizza); Quesabirria (birria tacos with cheese) with beans an rice. Also tried the featured dishes on that Guy Fieri had: Pozole and Carne Asado Tacos with home made tortillas. Everything was so delicious with big portions, so authentic that we felt that we were in Mexico! We were full, even with leftovers as I expected with any Mexican restaurant. Before we left, Alma checked on us to see if everything was OK; and I told her that we had a wonderful dining experience which made her happy. I left that restaurant feeling that I was treated like her family. Definitely will come back here again to try other dishes! If you ever you are in Santa Rosa craving for authentic Mexican Food, support local, stop by La Texanita and you will not be disappointed! :)

Came here on a Sunday morning, hungover, looking for the cure. prayed to the hunger gods and found this place. My hangover and hunger magically disappeared. Get the pozole!!! The pozole had a lot of flavor and the place had good service. It tastes yummy

Food was really good I had the best food I ever ate Service was amazing and they were really nice. Jackson

Very delicious Birria and Pozole! The broth was tasty and meat, so tender. Fast service and wonderful hostess.

We got the carne asada plate and the huarache with asada, everything was delicious down to the chips, salsa, and cream sauce. We also ordered extras of the fresh house flour tortillas that did not disappoint. Everyone was friendly, the patio was cute, and I will be going back whenever I'm in the area!

Been wanting to try La Texanita for some time now. Really enjoyed coming here. I ordered a huarache w/ carne asada. I loved the huarache as it had cheese and green chili. I have to say, what stood out to me was the salsa as well as the guacamole sauce(?) they served with the chips.. This reminded me of a Taqueria in the IE I used to love! Please check this place out..

Ambiance fun, colorful It all fell apart with the food. Very disappointing after reading the reviews. Generally the fool was okay, nothing special. We started on a bad note too. When we did the Yelp Check-in there was a free drink offer. The server accused me of not doing it right. Tainted the service experience. NO FREE BEVERAGE!!!

A solid option for Mexican food. Their birria is delicious on the weekend. Handmade tortillas available. I love their whole fried fish the mojarra frita. Frijoles de la olla are an option here as well. Waitresses are attentive.

Enchiladas and a margarita. Yummy. Had lunch here while I waited for my dog to be groomed down the road at Hair of the Dog. Lovely service and cheerful atmosphere. Food was great.

It was fun to get out for another patio dining with hubby, good friend and of course our 2 fur babies! I have dined at La Texanita many times over the years, but I think I have failed to review! Me Bad! The food is always delicious. The service is always so quick and friendly. During covid, they rigged up an outdoor patio, however it is pretty noisy as it is right next to Sebastopol Road with some very loud cars! This time we ordered a veggie burrito, shrimp tostada, lengua (tongue) taco, and a big size shrimp cocktail. The veggie burrito was rich and creamy, hubby loved his lengua taco and shrimp cocktail. I think they goofed up my order and gave me a shrimp taco instead of a shrimp tostada. Tortillas are good though and the filling was great. I just really wanted my tostada! But I let it go, we had a very nice and quiet lunch as we went after the lunch crowd. I will always continue to come back to La Texanita.

I hear the burritos are huge and good here. However, I didn't want a burrito and opted for something for light so got a fish and shrimp taco. I was really surprise about the fish. It was heavily breaded, no flavor, dry, and cut up in pieces. The shrimp taco was good. But both tortillas ripped and was so messy to eat. I don't recommend the fish taco. The horchata was really good. We waited 15 min for our food, they only had one cook and one cashier during a lunch hour.

Fantastic Mexican food! Great service! Try the shrimp Diablo, it's really great. We also love the enchiladas here. The sauces are authentic and taste great.

Been here many times and each time the food is excellent. I have ordered many different items over the years and all have been tasty. Today I had the carnitas taco on homemade tortillas. The meat was juicy, crunchy, and full of flavor. I also had a side order of the refried beans. Creamy and full of flavor. My friend had the chicken burrito. It was huge and had been grilled so the tortilla was not mushy. We both also had the jasmine tea drink. Not too sweet and very tasty. Yum! Can't wait to go back.

Can y'all add the 'comments' section back to your online ordering for Ubereats? I cant say 'no lettuce/lechuga,' so I won't be ordering any more of your amazing super burritos unless it's in person. C'mon please

Not it at all. Most expensive and worse tasting homemade tortilla tacos around. Food came quick and the service was great but the food is not good at all, bland and boring. It's also on the pricey side. Never again.

The service was great, food came out fast. However, I ordered Menudo, and all I got was Tripe, lots of Tripe in soup. If you go for the menudo, better ask them to add Hominy. I've never been served menudo without Hominy.

Never disappointed with their street mini tacos and to die for frijoles!! Always our spot for tacos

Food was not the greatest. Was over priced, I went there with my husband and three kids . They charged gratuity for kids and didn't say anything. Service was good.

Great Mexican restaurant; I would definitely recommend! Fast, friendly service. Dine in (indoor or patio seating) or takeout. The prices are a bit high for the location but easily one of the best, if not the the best Mexican food in Santa Rosa.

This is their small shrimp cocktail, so good. Always delicious at La Texanita, they're the best

Tacos were so delicious. I also enjoyed the rice and beans. For the tacos, I got steak tacos and the meat was so flavorful. The salsa, rice, and beans were delicious as well. Great place.

Everything about this place was amazing. We tried La Texanita based on a recommendation and it was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat immediately. We tried the chorizo quesadilla, chicken, beef and potato tacos, and the carnitas dinner plate. Everything was delicious. We even got a little bowl of special sauce for our tacos given to us. It made a great dish even better. Everyone there is friendly and checked in on us every few minutes. It's a must try!

This is my go to place for Mexican Food in Santa Rosa. I love the festive building with the beautiful art inside. The staff are always attentive and friendly. And usually we're seated quite quickly unless the place is packed (which on occasion it will be). Food is prepared to order and arrives piping hot to your table. I love their salsas and their homemade tortillas. May I also suggest you try one of their Mechaladas if you're in the mood. They are fantastically made and so refreshing after a long days work. Enjoy!

I had been here before. Probably in 2016 or '17. It was a moderately busy day and I had a regular chicken burrito wet with verde sauce. It was quite good. I remember I got it to go just in case I couldn't finish it. The most noteworthy memory was when they had to refill the tortilla chip dispenser and some little girl got up on one of the chairs and filled the reservoir. I thought that was so funny, because there were taller ladies working there. Jump to today. Slightly rainy, Covid concerns so outdoor seating. I was greeted quickly and there were 4 tables occupied out of 9 or so. Nice!. I told the waitress that I knew what I wanted and didn't need the menu. She said great and took my order for a Pacifico (in a bottle) and Chicken Fajitas. They came in no time just the way I ordered them...Flour tortillas and no tomatoes. Oh, about the chips. Obviously house made corn chips, but they brought out a salsa that actually had some heat to it along with a guacamole sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of heat the salsa provided. Also....Nice! The fajitas arrived. Full platter of them along with beans, rice and a salad and 3 tortillas. I dove right in.... Ok, the fajitas didn't have what I felt was the traditional taste I look for in fajitas, but I didn't find them prepared wrong, by any means. They were tasty and the peppers and onions were a combination of sauteed and slightly underdone. The beans weren't my favorite style. You can see in the photos how they were done, but the rice was really good. I even ate part of the salad, something I rarely do. The size of the pieces of chicken were small and thin. I found some of them to be slightly dry and a some were bit crunchy. For some reason I didn't find that a big deal...I continued to eat them anyway. I just would have liked them to be a bit juicier overall. My wait gal was Fernanda, and I struck up a convo with her while she (tried to eat) had her lunch. Turns out that she was the little lady I had seen filling the tortilla chip machine a few years back. I asked he why she was the one chosen to do that task since there were other taller ones who could've done it without standing on a chair. She just said she didn't know while raising her shoulders...Precious. Overall a really nice lunch...Missed Alma though...

Hungry for Authentic Mexican Food? Found La Texanita by chance and then I learned that they were featured in the Food Network in one of the episodes of Global Grub, a show hosted by Guy Fieri a native of Santa Rosa (Watch it here: http://fw.to/2nSyU6f) La Texanita is small, but don't let the size fool you! The food that comes out of their kitchen is delicious. On this day I was starving for eggs so I had their Huevos Rancheros, but got to sample their Carnitas too; delicious! Of course I could not get out of there before trying their flan! Folks, they make flan the way flan should be made; not to boild, not too sweet, and covered with just the right amount of melted sugar syrup. I must stop there again to try more items off the menu, but I can already tell that I will not be disappointed. If you are in Santa Rosa and craving Mexican, try La Texanita Restaurant!

Best chips and salsa in town, their red salsa it incredible and the chips are house made. I wish they had some Plant Based options and hope they add some soon. I will be back for the chips and salsa.

Been coming here for years now. I guess my yelp game is slippin'... Where to start... this place makes amazing enchilada sauce both the red n green are amazing! They make some really good wet burritos. I prefer to get the lengua with red sauce. It's one of my favorites. They also make great enchilada verdes, fish tacos, and Chile rellenos. I can't really remember a bad meal I've had here. The beer is always ice cold and everything they do is good... For being in such a heavily populated Mexican food area, they stand out as among the best to me! Give em a try... I bet you'll be back!

The hominy in the pozole was raw, the meat in the pozole was like boiled carnitas, the burrito was the size of a kid burrito, they forgot my cheese and the quesadilla was super small as well. Bill was the biggest item of todays visit at texanita. The bill and the dissapointment. Prolly my last visit.

Enjoy coming here. One of the best mexican restaurants in Santa Rosa. Friendly staff.

Oh, the famous La Texanita Restaurant, which I purposely avoided for quite some time due to the mayor of flavor town approval stamp (Guy Fieri). Not that I think his choice was a incorrect one, but I have stopped at some other recommended restaurants and they did not live up to the hype he portrayed. Soap box aside, La Texanita lived up the hype, especially with its fierce competition nearby. Location, a very tough one, many Spanish (South, Central, and Northern) restaurants nearby, so it makes it a challenge to keep up with return and new customers. Competition like that is only a win for the consumer though! Stopped in on a Sunday, packed (Parking and all), so I had a little of a wait, but nothing to bad. Do not expect a lavish restaurant here folks, this is more of a traditional Mexican restaurant that many locals have grown up with. Menus tatty, old plastic cups for water, tables painted multiple times over, sign me up! These are the places ones need to eat if looking for that authentic Mexican cuisine. Anyways, onto the food, my family member went with the Chicken Enchiladas and I ended up with the Bisteco Ranchero, both extremely affordable. The meals took a little to show up due to probably the mass of people they were feeding, but the wait was worth it! The food was terrific and plentiful, basically only needed to eat that meal for the day as they served soooo much food. Basically in and out within an hour, so no complaints there and would gladly recommend this fine establishment for anyone looking for some good Mexican cuisine if in the area.

Yum! Best Mexican food on that side of town. Tip: try their delicious tacos in their homemade tortillas. Life changing!

Very good will be coming by soon again! Never disappointed here!! I e had a little bit of everything,

I was born in SR and I have tried just about every restaurant in the county, to say that this is the best Mexican food I have had in Sonoma County is an understatement. The Al Pastor tacos are made with USDA Prime, the beans are to die for and the rice is fluffy and flavored perfectly. The staff is incredible and always welcoming and friendly. If you have not had a chance to stop by here and grab a bite to eat.... take the time you will not be disappointed at all.

I was so happy when La Texanita opened in Graton! The food is so good. I am in love with the carne asada tacos. The asada is seasoned perfectly. It is a bit pricey because of the location, but it is well worth it.

Stopped here for lunch while on a road trip delicious tacos and chips and salsa. Beans and rice were delicious as well.

La Texanita is very authentic Mexican food very delicious I had the hard shell tacos and let me tell you they are BOMB.

Service was excellent! The ladies were all very nice. Ambiance was nice. But...the tortillas were made in house, but they tasted like mission tortillas. They didn't have much flavor and would break apart easy. I had the grilled chicken tacos and the chicken was very dry. We also had the fish tacos, the fish was chopped into little rectangles- cut too thin, the breading was interesting. Was wishing it was crispy. The red salsa was great. We were bummed, really hoped to like this place. Being from San Diego we know good tacos, but this wasn't it.

Great authentic Mexican food. I recommend the Birra con arroz y frijoles on the weekend with homemade tortillas

Ordered the super nachos with carne Asada Togo. Took a little long, but not terrible. The nachos didn't have enough cheese or cheese sauce, could've used a little more meat, the toppings weren't sticking to the chips enough, seemed like their were a lot of more chips than toppings needed more of a binding agent. Not too worth it for 12$ in my opinion.

On the search of Santa Rosa's best fish tacos I was recommended by a friend! The people their are very nice with great service. The fish tacos are ok and is now 2nd in my rating, large and at a great price. The fish is like a fish stick, but the flavor was nice. I will come back for other things to try, but these tacos won't be one. The salsa and chips are very good.

Man I love this place Guy was not wrong this place is really really good Mexican food fresh tortillas the best corn Asada I have ever tasted I will be back

Sebastopol Road is definitely the place to go for Mexican food in Santa Rosa. La Texanita is one of the many options. This brightly colored building doesn't particularly stand out when driving by, but their food definitely does! I came here for dinner with my husband and we shared 2 fish tacos and chicken fajitas and both were delicious. Good flavors and just the right portions. The icing on the cake was their home made tortillas-so good! I can't wait to come back and try some more of their seafood options. Their fish tacos were a delicious balance of meat and toppings!

I gotta admit that I came to La Texanita because GF from DDD told me to. I've been to quite a few of his suggested locales. La Texanita does not disappoint. The super friendly staff greeted me with smiles and made my ordering easy. The restaurant was clean, festive & full of people enjoying their meals. I ordered a carne asada taco & a shredded chicken sope. Both were muy delicioso. My order included chips & both green & red salsas. Prices are what you should expect these days for great Mexican food. I don't like Mexican restaurants that cook the food at high temperatures that give the food a scorched flavor. La Texanita food seems fresh & is very flavorful. I'm gonna go back ASAP and order 2 sopes because they are my fave. I recommend this place highly, it's good for all.
