This review is for the grilled chicken tacos. I've been getting these for about 2yrs now. They come in a semi fried tortilla so that's not too crunchy or chewy and always have the same great flavor with crisp shredded lettuce. Chicken has been slightly over cooked last two times I've been so not sure what's going on with that??! Good price around $4.75 They give a generous amt. of chicken on these as well as on seversl other menus items I've tried. Dine in or takeout, service is usually pretty fast.

It’s a mixed review: great steak salad, wonderful server (a young girl who cheerily welcomed everyone), good value for the portion size. Flashy artifacts on the wall. Good music. Not-so-good basics: chips tough, watery guacamole, sauces watered down with cornstarch added to thicken them, chicken filling not salty enough tonight. Surprisingly, the Fajita Salad tasted like a Philly Cheesesteak in that they grilled white button mushrooms along with bell peppers, onions and tender steak strips as the “fajita” topping. This mixture was placed atop a bed of lettuce (one piece was very large); small diced tomatoes and small diced onions. Next came gorgeously fresh, perfectly sliced and fanned avocado. This was drizzled with a white mixture which may have been Cotija cheese. Finely shredded cheddar was sprinkled over all. No olives, no dressing, needed salt, steak very delicious. I highly recommend this salad for people on a ketogenic diet. My husband ate 1/3 of his order. He ordered a tamale and the man didn’t hear him and gave him an enchilada. My husband said the enchilada sauce tasted like canned brown gravy. He said the rice and beans were just okay. He ordered the guacamole and didn’t eat it or the chips or the salsa. He couldn’t eat the guacamole because it was mostly onions and tomatoes. “Avocado was the afterthought,” he said. I didn’t like the salsa, which was heavy on the jalapeños or whatever spice was added. If you like things hot you’d like it.

Today our family met in Vacaville at the Nut Tree area off Highway 80. Villa Corona Cocina Mexicana is one of those family owned and operated restaurants that you look forward to going to with your family. They have been there since 1972 greeting wayward strangers traveling up and down the Hwy 80 corridor between Sacramento and San Francisco. This is not our first time there but my first opportunity to review it.

The food was ok. The service was ok. We were not allowed to have another chair so everyone sat except me. (Husband & 3 kids) I understand that there are covid rules but come on what's one chair?? It was my first time there & also my last. With so many great places to eat this is last on my list. I do not recommend.
