Very authentic, Mexican home cooked meal. Great coffee. Salsas are amazing. Cozy space that feels like your Abuelas. AA+++ read more

This place is a hidden gem. Small but cozy. The hot chocolate horchata was amazing and the green chilaquiles was pretty good. I'm going to have to give the red one a try next time. Not too big of a fan of the pastry though. It was a bit dry. I think if I had any of that hot chocolate horchata then it may have been ok. The service was pretty good. Just took a minute for the tables to her cleared. Will def come here again. read more

Excellent mexican breakfast. I had the huevos ranchers. Tasted great, a little too much salt, but the over easy eggs were perfect, and the sauce was plenty picks. It's counter service. I had a delicious mexican chocolate coffee, and they have decorated the interior like a tradional mexican restaurant with wooden tables and colorful plastic table cloths. Get there soon before they are discovered read more

This definitely felt like I was taking a step into my abuelita's kitchen. Hearty plates. Chile-forward sauces. Fresh pan mexicano. Chocolate de la abuelita that tastes like nostalgia in a cup. What we ordered Drinks * Licuado de plátano * Café de olla * Chocolate de la abuelita Mains * Salsa-glazed chilaquiles with runny eggs * Pork tamal in red chile * Mollete with chorizo & soft egg * Huevos a la mexicana Dessert * Fresh pan mexicano Traditional, nostalgic, intentional. Every bite tastes like it was made with abuelita-level care. The service was great, they were so nice and recommended the right balance spicy/not spicy. Also on the weekend they serve menudo! read more

Adorable little spot that o stopped by to grab a coffee. I got the nube d horchata and it was really good. It tasted like actual horchata which when horchata is made into any type of coffee drink can be very hit or miss so I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is adorable and while I didn't have any food this time, I would definitely be back to try. read more

Really loved this spot. The location is nostalgic and beautifully decorated, it truly feels like you're stepping into your abuelita's house in Mexico. Such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They offer Café de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. It is on the sweeter side and pre-made, but still very delicious. I stopped by for a cafecito mid-afternoon and there was plenty of seating with fast service, especially for a Sunday, which was nice. They do offer breakfast items, though I didn't get a chance to try them this time, definitely something to come back for. One thing to note is that the restrooms are shared/connected through the alley with nearby establishments. It would be nice to have an additional restroom, especially during busy times. Overall, I definitely recommend this location. Great spot to grab coffee and then take a walk around the neighborhood afterward. read more

This was unfortunately a huge letdown for me. I was super excited to try out some Mexican pastries and hot chocolate for the first time. When I came in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me a complimentary coffee and concha. I didn't drink the coffee because it usually makes me jittery, but the concha was a bit lackluster. It was subtle in flavor, but I mostly tasted the powdered sugar (or whatever it was) on the outside. It was also a little dry. I bought one of the pan dulces (ojo de pancha) and a hot chocolate. The pancha was hard as a rock and lacked flavor. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate either. It was less of a chocolate taste and more of the spices they had in it. I was really disappointed with this visit. I had high hopes. I might come back and try their meals, but I'm not sure. read more

We stopped in looking for coffee and ordered a cold horchata latte and a hot specialty drink (forgot the name). Unfortunately, neither was what we expected -- the "latte" seemed more like pre- brewed coffee with sweet flavoring instead of a true espresso-based drink. The hot one was overly sweet and we couldn't get through even a third of it. That said, the breakfast dishes coming out of the kitchen looked great, so we need to come back and give the food a try next time. They have cute indoor seating and nice outdoor patio as well. We will come by again and hope to update this review with more stars ! Great to see new fun cafes opening in Sacramento. Friendly service , street parking only . read more

I initially saw this place on the news, then found it it was trending on TikTok, and had to come check this place out. Abuela's Midtown is a beautiful cafe/brunch spot housed in a historic blue Victorian home. The interior is decorated to feel very homey, and definitely gives you the vibe of stepping into your abuela's home. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well-- a patio out front and two table areas on the side of the building. I love all the bright colors in this cafe, because they do it just right. Bright colors, warm ambience, making it a cozy spot. Right when I walked in, I was greeted immediately. The two people helping me up front at the register were very nice and helpful when I asked about some of the menu items. I asked about the cafe de olla (something I've never tried) and they let me try a sample of it! It's very cinnamony and they serve this to you in a traditional clay mug if you're not getting it to go. The red chilaquiles did not disappoint either. It comes with 2 eggs made your style of choice and toasted bread. Will def bring my friends the next time I visit! read more

Who doesn't love a hearty, home-cooked meal from abuela? I stopped by Abuela's last Sunday while flying solo - my boyfriend was out of town, I didn't feel like cooking for one, and I had a serious craving for chilaquiles. After a quick Yelp search for local spots (I love discovering and supporting small businesses), Abuela's immediately caught my eye. The few photos already posted were just too cute to resist! When I arrived, I learned they were still in their soft opening phase. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly, and the staff was warm and welcoming. As of now, it doesn't seem like they accept reservations, but I hope that becomes available in the future - I can already see this place getting popular fast! I ordered the red chilaquiles (instead of green) because I'm a bit spice-sensitive and usually prefer the milder option. That said, I still found the dish to be a bit spicier than expected - mainly due to a generous amount of onions, which gave it a sharper kick than I anticipated. So, if you're like me and your nose starts running at the first hint of heat, I recommend requesting fewer onions when you order. I also tried Café de Olla, which had a lovely spiced flavor, but I forgot to mention that I usually prefer my coffee less sweet (I often sub Splenda or other sugar alternatives). So, for anyone who's watching their sugar intake or managing diabetes, be sure to ask for sugar on the side or inquire if they have sweetener options. The ambiance at Abuela's is truly something special- cozy, cultural, and charming. The decor is thoughtful and inviting, capturing that comforting "at grandma's house" vibe perfectly. Seating is a bit limited due to the space, but they offer indoor and outdoor options, which is always a plus. I visited on a Sunday, so parking was easy and mostly free, which made the visit even smoother. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to return to try more dishes. With a few small adjustments to my order next time, I know it'll be an even better experience. If you're in the area and craving comfort food with heart, Abuela's is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Tiny. Cute. Scratch that.. it's adorable. Picture it, sitting in your Abuelas courtyard eating breakfast next to a fountain. It doesn't hurt that the food is amazing and staff is friendly. The best Chilaquiles I've had. (Green sauce) I added carne asada. YUM read more

A very cute, small spot in midtown Sacramento. The place offers a few tables inside and out. We really wanted to try the chilaquiles torta but they unfortunately were out of the bread, maybe we got there late. So we ended up getting the tamal con huevo. The tamal, egg and beans were good. I did think they put just a bit too much salsa on the plate, I felt as though they were attempting to make the plate look more full than it was. The cafe de olla was a bit of a let down, tasted a little too acidic for me personally. We also thought it was sad they didn't offer hot chocolate but maybe we just didn't see it. read more

First time here, the mocha iced coffee with horchata cold foam was AMAZING!! I had the tamal with over easy egg that was good. Hubby had horchata latte with chilequeles. The restaurant was clean and decorated really unique. The service was quick and friendly. You should definitely try this place! read more

This visit has been well overdue! First off, their location is in prime midtown so parking is going to be a a bit of pain. The interior is beautiful and feels so nostalgic for all Hispanic folks. Plenty of seating inside with some space in the back as well. Staff were super friendly and really take the time to make sure you understand what your food comes with so that there are no surprises. I order the chilaquil torta, cafe de la olla. Warning though, your food can take up to 20-25 mins to be served to you so be prepared for that especially when it's busy. The cafe de la olla was delicious and not overly sweetened which I appreciated. However, the torta didn't come with much chilaquiles. I really wish it did as it definitely would have made a difference with the overall taste of the dish. Overall, I do recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast and/or lunch! read more

Went here for breakfast on a Friday morning. Very friendly. We ordered, our drinks were brought out, and then food shortly after. Cozy indoors and cute indoor/outdoor. Horchata was so warm and yummy! Chilaquiles was perfect as well, some of the best I've had! Must try spot! read more

Sometimes I wish Yelp allowed half starts. Also, sometimes there are places that just aren't for me. I had a nice time here and mostly enjoyed my meal, but I do not think I (yes, just me) will be back any time soon. Despite providing a four-star review, which I really wish was 3.5 stars. This adorable Victorian home turned restaurant has a very cute, homey aesthetic from the outside to the interior. There is limited seating, but they have done their absolute best with the space they are provided. THEY HAVE SOY MILK! I ordered the Horchata Latte, but it does come with a little milk in the premade horchata. I decide to take the gamble. It was good, and I enjoyed it. I do wish they gave it to me in the cute cups for dining in, but no harm, no foul. I did order the chilaquiles, half rojo/red and half green/Verde, because I know my spice tolerance is low. I probably should have just done all Verde, but I do enjoy the flavor of the rojo sauce. Also, I could have also probably remedied the spice level with asking for additional creama. I was enjoying my convo, so I did not get up to get any. I did appreciate the toasted bread they also adorned the plate with. I ordered a fried egg, but I ended up with an over easy egg. Again, not the end of the world, but not what I asked for. The service was average and so was the experience. Again, I'm still looking for a word that is just below good and above average. I had no real qualms with Abuela's at all, I just know I probably won't be back any time soon with so many other options in the area. I had high hopes... read more

Fun vibe, decent food and drink. Parking is tricky, and by the time we came they had sold out of most of their pastries. The orange juice was good though, and the cafe the olla. I'd definitely come back and give it another try. read more

Lovely coffee shop! Stopped by for a coffee date with my BFF and enjoyed the outdoor patio area. The chilaquiles torta hit the spot and the horchata latte was just the right amount of cinnamon (not too strong, perfectly balanced in my opinion). Stop by during or after the nearby weekend farmer's market, it's just a couple of blocks down. I'll be back for some pan dulces and caffe de olla! read more

*NEW SPOT ALERT* Located in Sacramento Midtown, right in front of the Midtown sign. This is an extension of the Catina Alley restaurant and is in its soft opening phase. Couldn't resist trying out this cute place. Usually I like to wait until a place is more established and open for awhile before checking out. But for just opening, they ran pretty smoothly. They have indoor and plenty of outdoor seating. We brought my dog so we enjoyed their front patio. I love the decor, very warm and cozy, you're surrounded by lots of Mexican culture. Right when I walked in I was greeted by whom I later found out was the manager, Rudy. He was very kind and welcoming. At first I thought he was another customer chatting with me while waited in line. He saw me taking pics and showed me around the place. They have a short and sweet menu. I actually just came for coffee and a concha but ended up ordering the chilaquiles which did not disappoint. Comes in choice of red sauce or green and I chose the green which had a kick to it. It was a big portion, definite for sharing. I enjoyed their coffees very much. Tried the hot horchata latte and also ordered the Pancho Pantera Mocha. I like both of them but the winner for me was the Pancho Pantera Mocha. It was rich and smoky. Nicely sweetened and had some cinnamon. The food and coffee was served pretty quick and the staff here checked on us often. There was 4 of them who actually came up to us to see if we were ok, needed anything, and just to say hello. Can't recommend checking this place out enough. Definitely will be coming back again and highly recommending. read more

The best menudo in town. They do have pata that they can add to your menudo, upon request. The decor brought back memories of my Abuelita's home in the 1970's. The hanging plants, the tablecloths and the sewing machine. And yes, there is pan dulce! read more

What a wonderful little treasure in Midtown! While there is no shortage of Mexican food in Sacramento, Abuela's has captured a special aspect of our cuisine-- Abuela's food and the loving touches reflected through the whole space, that as a Mexican kid growing up going to my Abuela's house, takes me right back to her kitchen table- down to the decorative vinyl tablecloths on the tables!! The service is lovely, eager to please to make sure you have a great experience. And the food-- excellent cafe de olla and the chilaquiles are just like the ones at home. Freshly prepared, crispy tortillas, not over-sauced (a mistake a lot of places make!), perfectly cooked eggs on top, drizzled with a little crema, a sprinkling of white onions and cilantro, a light shower of queso fresco and a piece of bolillo (Mexican baguette ) is the perfect last touch to a plate that needs nothing else. I can now head out to the airport for my flight back home with a tummy full of yummy food and looking forward to my next trip back to visit my Abuela's kitchen again. read more

This place is so good! I tried their red chilaquiles and one of their pastries and it was so good. It's a smaller place with both outdoor and indoor seating, nicely decorated. Street parking might be a bit difficult but fortunately I found it nearby. I wanted to try their famous horchata latte but they were out, so hope to next time! read more

Ate here the other day for the first time, ordered the chilaquiles and a coffee. It was not bad just not great, the texture of the chilaquiles was different and the sauce looked tomato-y but to my surprise was spicy which I like. The service was okay, as when you walk in you order and then find a place to seat yourself kinda place. The is location is nice since there's a lot of businesses nearby to explore. I haven't ate anything else here so I will try it again sometime. Small sitting area inside. read more

I saw this cute Coffee shop on Tik Tok it looked really cute . The hours as of now are 7- 2pm . Same location as Cantina Alley which it's the front of the house side . They have some cute outside areas to sit at . Inside also has plenty of seating . They have concha's , aguas frescas, coffee, and some breakfast items. I got the horchata latte, but I really wanted to get the café de Ola so next time I go I will be trying that . I also got the red Chilaquiles it comes with 2 eggs the portion was very generous. I really enjoyed the red sauce. It was very delicious It does have a little kick, but nothing overbearing it has a lot of flavor. The inside is decorated like if you were literally at your abuelita's house. It has a lot of traditional Mexican decorations very cute idea . The staff was all very friendly and attentive. This is a new spot and I already know it will get busy . I got lucky and I got there early before the crowd . When I did leave there was a line already. This is definitely a must try new coffee spot . I will definitely be returning soon . Everything was delicious! read more

First time here with friends. We ordered the chilaquiles Rojos and Chilaquiles Verdes plus the Mollete con huevo. They were all delicious. My favorite was the chilaquiles verdes. I got cafe de la olla but I think it was too sweet. My friends said the same. We noticed that some customers were served coffee in mugs while our coffee was in paper cups. It was just an observation. I got a concha to go and it was super yummy. I only got a picture of one of the chilaquiles. read more
