“We looked to our Yelp reviewers for the very best Mexican food in the U.S.,” Yelp said on its site . “Our hungry community visited food trucks, roadside taquerias, elegant sit-down dining rooms—even places that feel like a family kitchen—to bring you the truly top spots. In fact, every place on our list boasts a 4.8- to 5-star average.”

“Just 8 months after opening, this fast-casual Mexican grill in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael has racked up nearly 200 5-star Yelp ratings,” Yelp said. “And it’s no wonder. The decor is simple, the menu uncomplicated, but the ‘over-the-top’ grilled flavors are anything but average.”
