• Food is good if you're hungry.
• Service stinks and pending litigation for my injuries.

“Food: I ordered the special of the day, the shrimp burrito with toppings. It was pretty good considering I was hungry at the time. The size of the burrito was like the size of your leg! The price ($9.95), however, wasn't reflective of the value of the food in the area. Service: We were served by this old waiter who mumbles when he took our order. When he brought out our food, I got burned by the hot plate containing my food. When I complained, the manager and the service without a smile waiter took turns berating me for my clumsiness, thinking they just foiled a freeloader. The food is very good, but it'll be our first and last time going there.”

• Margaritas to die for. Also if made correctly cheese enchiladas.
• Servers need a energy and nice.

“When the parents ran the place it was all about consistency. Nothing ever changed and you couldn't mix items on the menu. Now I don't know what he was doing except losing customers! Don't change the chips, you should always put green onions on the cheese enchiladas that's the way it was. Now you have to ask to be put on. Your new customers don't know what they were missing. Don't change what isn't broken. Keep the house hot sauce on the tables, should not have to ask. I been going here a very long time. I kind of think it's to do with money. Make your portions a little smaller. But don't change your parents dream. I would like to see you make it! I really love this place but may only come back when you change back.”

• Food was okay.
• A rubber band in my Flauta.

“Emma's Taco House is nothing special. Service is mediocre, waitress came by only to take our order, serve us drinks, bring the food and give us our bill. The food was just okay, overpriced, lunch special average is $12 and this is your 1 item, beans and rice. The Flauta I ordered was okay, chicken was very dry. My wife and I got out of there spending $27. I took my Flauta home and the next day when I went to zap it in the microwave; I flipped the Flauta over and found a green rubber band at the bottom of the Flauta, gross! Notified the owner, he refunded my $12 for my Flauta lunch, but nothing else. You won't catch me at Emma's Taco House ever again. If you want authentic in west sac, try some of the hole in the Wall Taqueria's, better food and you won't go broke eating out!”

• Consistently Great food and Margaritas.
• Closed on Sunday and Monday.

“The best Tamales in the world. Consistently great. Been going there for almost thirty years. Come out happy every time. Fantastic Margaritas too. Richard is missed, but he has Emma's downtown for lunch and it's the same great food. I wish they were open 7 days a week though. a lot of times would like to eat there on Sunday or Monday, but they're closed then I got to travel about twenty miles each way to eat there, it's worth it.”

• The Nachos are always great.
• The service thanks to the owner Linda - the chicken for tacos etc - no taste rice and beans new recipe needed...

“This used to be the greatest place for happy hour margaritas - but the owner¿s wife Linda was very rude to several customers who have been returning customers for many years as well as my family. She needs some customer service training on how to approach - greet - and serve her customers - myself and several others will not return to this restaurant the food is not authentic especially for the Hispanic community but the Nachos I would say are the best..”

• Friendly service.
• Out of the way location.

“I have been to Emma¿s on many occasions. It is authentic Mexican food prepared by the same family for over 50 years. The atmosphere is casual and family friendly although most customers are couples or small groups.”
