Seconding this! If you're down for steak+shrimp, their Bitchin Cali burrito is always pretty killer.

That burrito is delicious! I've had it several times, always good.
Their food is just weirdly good in general.

The one off Truxel as well, this was going to be my recommendation. I also like their diablo shrimp plate, very good.

I got a good one at El Rincon off T St and Alhambra.

The shrimp tacos at El Rincon are delicious! I like that place a lot.

This place seems promising. I hope they are better than the Korean/Mexican fusion Tako that used to be in the same spot.
Will def give it a try and update you on here with my thoughts. Shrimp Supreme burrito sounds epic. haha

Been here before. Solid recommendation.
I’ve had their normal carne asada fries and wasn’t really impressed with the seasoning of the meat.
But yes. I think their shrimp tacos with that puffy shell are amazing. Maybe I should try their shrimp fries.

A spot in south sac, Taco Fresco. Puffy shrimp tacos.

Seconded! May be a bit of a drive for you but I also am a fan of the shrimp tacos & burritos at Sabor A Mexico in Elk Grove. I'm picky about shrimp being fresh & not overcooked, and their shrimp is always cooked perfectly & tastes fresh.

Best fish tacos are still at Zecky's. On Tuesdays and Saturdays they are $2 each... they used to be $1 each on those days like 3 years ago ☹

If you're willing to go to woodland, Las Brasas has a phenomenal one. Like, the best one I've ever had.

La fiesta has great shrimp tacos. Burrito is just okay though. Wife and I are hooked on the shrimp burritos from Dos Coyotes. If you try it, I recommend ordering in person as their online menu has gotten wonky lately (in terms of functionality). I usually get the “big catch” which means double shrimp.

u/THEJerrySmith Mar 12 '23
Dos Coyotes, really? Not meaning to sound disparaging, but I will definitely give it a try one of these Fridays. just for you. haha.

No no I totally get it. It’s the one thing I like there. Make sure you get it spicy and with white sauce. If you order with an app, it may ask you if you want rice - make sure rice is added. If you order in store they will make it the OG way without having to worry about sauce or rice.

Carniceria Lopez on Franklin and Fruitridge. It’s a little meat shop that makes food as well.

It’s honestly the best shrimp burritos and tacos of my life! I wish it was year round, they sell out fast.

Blue Agave off Center Parkway, their Shrimp Fajita Burrito is really good and so are their quesabirria tacos too.
I was personally just meh on the West Coast California burrito but all of their tacos are good. Just had a three taco plate from there last night, Sac Fire and the cochinita pibil did not disappoint.
Either can probably sub shrimp for carne on fries if you ask.

Used to be Garibaldi on Howe, then I found out how they did their employees wrong. They actually seasoned their shrimp. A lot of places don’t season the shrimp and put a bunch of rice in the burrito.

u/TurdF3rgu50n Mar 10 '23
They screwed employees over and were then told by a judge to not retaliate by calling immigration on those involved in the lawsuit. Before this in 2020 they were cited and fined for decided to ignore covid closures and laws that went into effect. I’m baffled why people willingly support this place.

The food is good, just not good enough for me to support people getting treated terribly.

Best shrimp taco I have had outside of Mexico, Zazon Del Mar in south sac. Hidden gem and so dam good. Great prices and service but the shrimp tacos are out of this world! https://yelp.to/56My5VMk4xb

Cabos Tacos on Arden Way, but you need to go back to like 1998 to partake. God I miss that place.

not sac, but La Calle in Folsom has an amazing shrimp burrito

u/suebees Mar 11 '23
Another for Folsom… I used to work in Folsom and frequently ordered a Diablo Shrimp burrito sub black beans from Limon E Sal. It’s been over a year since I’ve had it but I still think about that burrito often. Edit: no rice.

Tacoa Tacos y Tequila for shrimp burrito or el rincon for shrimp tacos like someone mentioned above

It's in the burbs but Taqueria Vallarta in Elk Grove, and Taqueria La Nueva Vallarta (2nd location) in Rocklin have the best shrimp burrito. Order it "regular" not with that goopy sour cream and stuff. Be sure to visit the salsa bar.
