    Great cafeteria located on the corner of R St and Alhambra Blvd. I've had so many great meals here, from a breakfast to some fantastic lunches. If you're lucky enough to visit on a day that they have chalupa as the daily lunch special, I'd highly recommend it. Breakfast burritos are a solid staple here, with choices of bacon, sausage, chorizo. You can also order a special burrito like I do with extra bacon. Open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays only, they're worth stopping in.

    Daily special. French dip, fries drink.

    I've worked down the street for YEARS and wish I wouldve known sooner this place was so close to me! 10/10 did not disappoint! I walked in and was greeted by a super sweet lady who offered the special to me (french dip) and I love a good French dip! I'm now sitting at work and INHALED half the sandwich before I could make this post lol the sandwich, the fries, EVERYTHING is perfect. Bread toasted, and all food freshly made to order... I will be coming back ;) also shout out to the cook for throwing some love into his dishes you can taste it!!

    Breakfast is only served to 10:30. We arrived at 11 and they agreed to make an egg breakfast sandwich but I think that was stretching it because she said they were "very busy right now". But the place was almost empty so I strained to keep an understanding expression. (:-) I didn't add $4 chicken to my salad so it was just under $18 for the salad and sandwich. The location is tucked into the corner of a government building. Parking is across the street.

    In this edition of downtown stateworker brunch / lunch time, we have a hidden gem named Casablanca Cafe. They specialize in breakfast and lunch and can be a tad bit hard to find due to doing double duty as a Cafe for a state agency, a catering entity and a restaurant that serves yummy food. Quick ratings: Sausage breakfast burrito 5 stars out of 5; it was so good I could have ate 2 if my stomach permitted. The star of this show was the farm fresh omelet which scored 100 stars out of 5. Sacramento is the farm to fork capitol and this holds up that reputation.

    Turkey sausage breakfast sandwich! 8.99

    Breakfast sandwich was so good and they got it out super quick! Will be back again! I love that they had turkey sausage!

    So today was my first time ordering food here. Today's special was Chicken Fried Rice with Spring Rolls. They listed it for $7.99 which I figured was a good lunch price. Honestly, it really wasn't very good. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside but kind of soggy on the inside. The fried rice flavor was also slightly off. All of my coworkers rave about this place so I feel like maybe I just didn't luck out with today's lunch special. Everyone says great things so I'll definitely be back next week to try another special! I don't recommend the Chicken Fried Rice. The place was very clean and the people were super friendly! The woman up front at the register was so kind and welcoming. I am looking forward to coming back and trying something new. A few of my coworkers were recommending the salad bar and the burger.

    SPECIAL: Cajun Pasta with Chicken   This was sooooooooo gooood, I almost forgot to take a photo!

I've also gotten one really mediocre sandwich but this latest one is definitely review worthy. Order on the website to save yourself time and stress!! It can get very backed up here some days.

My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go. I ordered the #19 with turkey, prosciutto, avocado, and swiss on a dutch crunch roll. The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

    I remember having a really good sandwich here once, so I came back with high hopes. Unfortunately,…read morethis time the sandwich was so skint I had to add chips inside it just to give it some substance. And speaking of chips... two small bags were $4 each. Were these chips hand-carved by artisans somewhere? Blessed by monks in the moonlight? I'm genuinely curious. I ordered the club, and I swear there was maybe one slice of turkey and a single, lonely piece of lettuce in the entire thing. The bun, however, was enormous, so the overall experience was like eating a fluffy bread pillow with a whisper of sandwich somewhere in the middle. Honestly, the sandwich felt a bit like a mime, the idea of a sandwich was there, but the substance was invisible. I even wondered if maybe the fillings weren't hungry themselves. By the end I felt less like I had eaten lunch and more like I had participated in a sandwich-themed illusion. Sadly, it looks like I'm Togo's-bound from here on out. I always root for unique local spots, but this felt more like a "Shamwich" than a sandwich. Tough times when the hungry leave hungry. Poor sand-wich-ship indeed.

    Ike's is a convenient sandwich spot in midtown with tons (like an entire menu on a wall) of…read moresandwich options. Service is as fast as it can be during lunch hour rush, and I haven't been disappointed yet with my orders. The workers have always been helpful and answered any questions about the menu or even helped with recommendations. The ambiance isn't anything special. It's like most sandwich spots with tables, chairs and a restroom for customers. You're probably not pulling out your laptop to do any work or catch a vibe there unless listening to music and sending emails in a sandwich restaurant is your thing. My go-to order is the Amuna's Tuna on Dutch crunch with everything on it except jalapeños. If you're feeling a little lucky, you can get a combo meal with chips and a drink. They also sell big cookies. You also get a nice caramel apple sucker candy with your order. Like most restaurants these days, and especially restaurants in midtown, you're looking at $15-$20 for a sandwich and combo. It's pricey.

    I'm likely in the minority in my opinion, but bear with me. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4, and…read moresticking with a 3 because this shop just didn't measure up ... to me. For starters, Ike's has its own way of doing things: plain mayo is not their thing. Only way to get plain mayo on a sandwich is to get lucky that there's a smidgen still left in a jar in the fridge after they prepare their house spread. They mix GARLIC and gawd knows what else for spices to make their Ike's sauce, so allergies beware. They offer plain mustard, but not plain mayo? For seconds, the sandwich bread is not up to the challenge of holding together the mountain of fillings inside. Pics prove my point. I want to eat a sandwich with my hands, not a plastic fork (or a shovel). And I don't want to wear it, not in public. Proportions, people! One size does not fit all. Now, in fairness, the meat, cheese, lettuce and tomato were fresh, chilled, and flavorful. However, IMHO $2.00+ to add equivalent of half an avocado is robbery when a whole avocado is $1 in the market. Fortunately I arrived when there wasn't another person in the store so I was able order up a plain ham and cheese sub with L, T, and A. The counter person was patient as I attempted to navigate the menu board. I communicated my wish for a simple sandwich and it arrived, albeit ridiculously overstuffed and above my budget expectations. Props for kindness and understanding. My first visit to any shop is always testing how well they do basics. So far, I'm not an Ike's fan. I'm no newcomer to sub sandwiches. At 82, and being a Massachusetts native, I've been a sub girl for at least 75 years, ever since I could wrap my fingers around the perfect sub roll. For more adventurous sandwich people, go for broke! This is your place!
