Colina de Oro

Ate here recently and was pretty happy with the food and service. I ordered one chicken enchilada with red cause and one pork chile verde. Everything was pretty tasty. It came with whole beans and refried beans wasn't offered as an option. The wine margarita was good. The portions were not huge for the price. The service was great.

We just moved to Shingle springs from Sac, and I'm learning we were spoiled with amazing food options down the hill. The bean dip and salsa at Colina de Oro had my hopes up as they were very tasty. However, my chicken taco was just meh.  Also - they don't give an option of refried beans OR whole beans with dinner. Its whole beans only, and they are on the bland side. The tamale, I have to say, was delicious and very authentic tasting. I'm willing to try some other menu items, but will probably only come here out of convenience and a Pacifico.

Colina De Oro was the second restaurant we ate at after we have moved to Shingle Springs from the Bay Area.  We have been regulars here ever since.

I have only tried 4 dishes from here - Birria, Burrito, Tacos and Chili Colorado and all of them were very good.  I have to try other dishes but I tend to order the same items that I know that are tried and true.

The staff here are friendly and the place is clean.  The restaurant is a little dated but was renovated few years back.  I would recommend this place than the other "upscale" mexican restaurant, Los Pinos (which is coincidentally used to own Colina).
