It’s a taqueria with a compact menu. The interior is clean and simple, basic. But I sure dig their barbacoa… both the chili verde and chile colarado. It has a good depth of flavors. I’ve also had the carnitas here, not too shabby either.
The food is in temperature controlled trays behind a glass counter. The staff will create your order with your preferred proteins and fixings right before your eyes. They press warm the tortillas for the tacos and burritos.
They have complimentary chips and salsa which is self serve. The salsa bar serves up four different kinds, no pico de gallo though. But they do have salsa verde. It’s darn tasty.

Horrible. Fermented Jamaica,and watered down. Corn tortilla was put on a grill press for 2 seconds. Un toasted corn tortilla was flimsy and nasty cause all the meat fell through. Soggy street taco. How do you mess up a street taco! Placerville needs to step up their Mexican Food Game.
Owners should be ashamed.. and they are Latino. Just horrible.

The food is fantastic, as long as you order IN the restaurant. We’ve ordered online 3 different times and it has never been as ordered. Something is always missing off the food ordered. Come to the store and your order will be great.

Best Mexican food in Placerville! They have the best breakfast burrito, the Norcal, with steak, eggs, bacon, cheese and potato. A really nice salsa bar too. The Jamaica tea is delicious and the churros are the best we’ve ever had! They have a filling! So good! Looking forward to coming back to try more of the food. Friendly, fast service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Thank you!

My absolute favorite Mexican place to go to in the area. My husband and I always get the same thing: carnitas tacos with jalapeños, cilantro, onion and pico topped with the cilantro dressing. *drooling*

Such a solid spot! Been going there since I worked at the AT&T back in 2016. Still holding strong on quality.

Typically I’ll leave a review if it’s a great place; however, that’s not the case this time. I placed an order online and was emailed that it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived 15 minutes later to find that they didn’t even see my order because the order wasn’t printed out is what she said. It was like pulling teeth to get more information from her regarding my order and she couldn’t even give me a time of when it would be ready. Meanwhile the family is hungry and now grumpy. I would suggest to either order in the store or avoid this place altogether.
Update: placed order at 5:47 p.m. and didn’t get the food until 6:30 p.m. yikes.

I love freshmex Placerville, it is my family’s go to Mexican eatery, definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The reason it is our favorite is because of the insanely amazing salsa bar(That is Free), it has a fantastic habanero green salsa that makes the whole meal. Also their Chipotle sauce adds a whole other taste level, the thing is you have to ask for it to be put on your tacos, burritos, or salad.
