Wild Rooster Bistro

'23/6 1st customer/review: -- This sit-down restaurant is located in Old Fair Oaks, so while parking is free, it and sidewalks are not friendly to mobility impared. This business is a full handful of feet above the limited street parking. Be prepared to walk a block or more if street parking is full. Across from bucolic town-center park that's typically populated with wild chicken adding to the charm. However, on this visit, construction fencing cordoned off the area as upgraded progress to the amphitheater and community center. -- Two small tables on small, elevated sidewalk at front entrance. -- Inside is very simple, low key, no frills with ~8 tables and one nice, helpful, mature waiter. Quiet, subdued ambiance (quiet mariachi background music) makes ideal hearing impared dining choice. Not particularly suited to large groups or small children/strollers. -- Wall/shelf decor artwork (Spanish-style paintings and metal roosters) for sale. -- Alcohol choices consist ofbeer/wine/mimosa simple options, but no margaritas or other hard alcohol options (no bar). -- Thin plastic table topper (over table cloth) slid about when leaned on. -- Chips & salsa (delightful roasted pepper with no heat) not complimentary, rather on appetizer menu, simple menu (though includes pulled pork sandwich, plus vegan and gluten-free options which impressed guest as well as other reviewers). -- Plastic water cups. While well presented to the visual eye, some main entres served on plastic plates others on ceramic. -- NO obvious desserts/menu, nor any offered by waiter post-lunch. -- Surcharge to use credit card. >> Takeaway: Looking for a tame, low-cost, low-key, Mexican sit-down restaurant? Look no further.

Great service, the plating of the food was gorgeous and carefully done. The flavors were as expected for the meal. Solid standard mexican restaurant options but definitely the best vegan vegetarian option in the area.
