With an overwhelming number of food hubs, you might find it daunting to choose your next food trip, so we have decided to round up the top four Citrus Heights restaurants you should try. These food destinations are not just known for their scrumptious meal and hearty servings but also for their reasonable prices. 

1. Texas Roadhouse 

This town’s favorite serves all-American cuisine that leans more toward the Southwestern flavor. With their fall-off-the-bone ribs and juicy steaks served with freshly made side dishes, they have become the go-to restaurant for anyone looking to satisfy their carnivorous cravings. 

Despite their hearty portions, the meals are reasonably priced, especially during their weekly special when steak is only $13.99.

Being the town’s favorite has its downside: The restaurant is often packed at dinner time, which makes it less than ideal if you’re looking for something intimate. Nonetheless, even on a busy night, the wait isn’t that long, thanks to its friendly, attentive staff. 

If you’re into hearty, sinful meals and lively ambiance, the Texas Roadhouse should be your next food destination with its Texas-themed decor, impromptu singing, line dancers, and jukebox. 

Address: 6309 Sunrise Boulevard, Citrus Heights

2. El Tapatío Mexican Restaurant

This family-owned authentic Mexican restaurant has served its patrons for more than 32 years with their made-from-scratch meals (literally no cans in their kitchen). While their menu has a long list of hearty, mouth-watering meals, they are best known for their carne asada, which is beef marinated and grilled, often served in thin strips as a main course or as a filling in burritos and tacos. 

Other signature dishes you may want to try: fajita and molcajete. But if you really want to splurge a little bit, we suggest that you visit them for a Sunday Brunch (9 am – 2 pm) and enjoy their buffet of chile verde, cheese enchiladas, beans, rice, horchata and mimosas, Mexican bread, and other pastries, chile colorado, taco bar, to name a few. 

Surprisingly, this well-loved Mexican food haven also caters to people with special diets with vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free meals. 

But as with any popular food destination, the wait can be long, especially during their Sunday Brunch, so we suggest arriving early.

3. Felipe’s Mexican Restaurant

Another popular Mexican food destination, Felipe’s, is a family-owned business that has been serving its Citrus Heights patrons since 1983. Due to their success, the owners decided to open a second location in Folsom in February 2007.

For decades, the restaurant has been well loved by customers who want to taste authentic Mexican cuisine at a bargain price. They also have take-out and cater to parties, weddings, and conferences. 

Felipe’s is best known for its combinaciones de la casa, which roughly translates to "combinations of the house." They include refried beans, Spanish rice, special salsa, hot tortilla, homemade chips, and chiminga, which is beef chunks wrapped in an oversized flour tortilla, deep-fried until golden brown, and drizzled with sour cream, melted cheese, and guacamole. 

Even though the restaurant is tucked away in a shopping mall strip, it is often packed, so the wait might be a bit long unless you arrive early. 

Address: 959 Auburn Blvd, Citrus Heights

4. Sammy’s Restaurant and Bar 

Sammy’s is inside a casino building (Stone Creek Gambling Hall), making it a convenient food haven for gamblers. Non-gamblers enjoy satisfying cravings with well-received lamb ribs, duck tacos, Baba Ghanoosh with pita wedges, and New York-style pizzas.

Sammy’s is pricier than the mentioned restaurants but still reasonable. Their small plates begin at $3.

Address: 6510 Antelope Rd, Citrus Heights

 The Country Squire Estates is close to food destinations, malls, shops, and theatres in Roseville. Despite that, it feels like a small town hidden in a forested enclave.
