El Pitayo Mexican Restaurant - Fairfield (CA)

3 /5 michelle lee: Very slow service. Salsas are delicious but they give you a tablespoon or two worth in some large cups. So either they need smaller cups or more salsa! We both got tacos and the home made tortillas were delicious, but no flavor in the meat. They do not have anything but salt on the table. So we had to ask for extra salsa to give our tacos any flavor.

5 /5 Peppas Adam (CptMayhem): Total hidden gem. Its just of the fwy but worth it.We been there a few times now and have come multiple days in a row because it is so good. The breakfast menu is a little small, but thats all you need for perfection. EVERYTHING is made in house including the chorizo. I get the coffee De la olla without cream or sugar and it is still very good. Update- New location in the downtown are and still just as good with the same excellent service.

5 /5 Jorge Bardina: Family run business, with fresh ingredients and homemade tortillas and horchata. Located next to a plum orchard. Honestly, this was one of the best Mexican meals that I have ever had. Not to be missed. Update 8/1/2023 I finally made it back to this hidden gem. This time I got Enchiladas Verdes. One with potatoes and one with cheese. What makes this special is that it’s a family run restaurant. The ingredients are fresh and the flavors remind me of home made meal. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. There’s plenty of parking in front too. Update 4/11/2025 I happened to be in Fairfield and decided to go back to this wonderful restaurant. They moved to a new location just off the main downtown street. They have a big parking lot and plenty of parking. The new space was bigger than before with a much bigger kitchen. I saw all the same familiar faces. I ordered an Horchata and then I heard the blender going. It’s homemade from rice and not from a powdered mix. It was super creamy and just the perfect amount of sweetness. It was delicious. I had the potato and cheese green enchiladas again. The enchiladas were delicate and homemade. These were not store bought tortillas from a bag. I was blown away again by the flavors and the ocean of cheese and green salsa. The chips also came with 2 types of salsa. Home run again!

5 /5 Solano: Lunch dine in first time here. Oh dear lord,...just the corn tortillas alone were amazing. I never eat restaurant tortillas but not these! I had the Mole plate with chicken and it was perfect. Not bitter or too sweet,...just right and very generous portion! I am totally coming here for Mex food from now on. I cannot believe how so much better it is than say Chipotle or other regular Mex places. It is 10xbetter!!
