We found our new Mexican restaurant around town due to the recommendation of our hair dresser Maria. I love going around trying the chile verde and this place does it good . Today I tried it in the super burrito with no beans and pico on the side. The lady taking my order must have known I don't like raw onions/cilantro and offered me just avocado instead of guacamole. My friend got the Al pastor and carne asada tacos. They also have a good salsa and chip area that is self serve. read more

El Bramido - Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

The service, food and spirits were phenomenal. Sat at the bar had burritos and served by the very nice bartenders Gloria & Cari.

Service, food, and ambiance are always good at this place. I've been here several times and never had an issue with the server or wait times. I like sitting at the bar with my friends. My favorite drink here is the michelada, but I ultimately prefer the Cadillac margaritas. For food, the tacos or butterflied camarones à la Kora are great! I've even placed a couple of to-go orders--I usually get the tortas ahogadas, which are also very delicious. The portions are very good for the price. read more

Sunday is for menudo. Had to come to this authentic Taqueria on Northgate. Great prices & many options on menu. Menudo served nice and hot and full of flavor. They are not greedy with the meat or hominy. Served with handmade corn tortillas which were a good size and delicious. Even took some home to make some quesadillas. Also ordered a shrimp cocktail, which was huge plenty of shrimp inside the cocktail. I just added my fixings to it and flavored it up to my liking. Restaurant was busy but food came out fast and service is always great. read more

This place is pretty good, I haven't been here in awhile but went in yesterday and they moved their menu and it looks really cute. The miche was really good and I normally don't care for them. The crispy tacos are always really good but one thing I would like to suggest is them clean the shrimp before cooking and it would be perfect. Friendly service, they checked on us more than once. read more

The tacos here still live up to the expectations I have of them. Their prices went up a little so it's $10 for 3 taqueria tacos but that's good for me. They still have a decent salsa bar and the chips are good. They changed the order counter to the room without the bar. It was alarming at first but it's better for everyone. They lost the menu board and sadly, like all eager-to-raise-prices businesses, they adopted TV monitors for the menu. Sigh. Anyway, when I came in a few days ago, everyone was wonderful from polite customers to helpful staff. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food (and we're not talking about fattening rice & beans - although I think they have them), you need to come here. Growing up in and near San Jose, this spot feels like home. Which, like East San Jose, violence happens in the area - it is Northgate. Just be smart, be kind, and you'll be just fine. read more

Food very authentic and good. Service is good depending on who is there. I used to love this place and we'd go there 2 or 3 times a week at the beginning. We started going there the first week they opened. We/I always spend between 200 and 300 a visit (I like expensive tequila). We/I went there with my friends and family. My husband rarely goes it's too loud for him. My friends and family still go there. We took my husband's 78 year old cousin there. She lives in East Sacramento She started taking her friends and clients there. I no longer go there. Actually I've been there maybe twice in the past six months. Why? I read a post on Nextdoor from a man that went there and was given shots of tequila and food vouchers for free food at a future time from the owner. I couldn't believe I was reading this. I have spent thousands of dollars all these years and have given them a lot of new customers. The owner has seen me every time I've been there. Prior to the last 2 occasions I have there I told my favorite person Cari I wasn't coming back. On these two occasions I had Crispy Tacos and a Pacifico and the other visit Menudo and 2 shots of tequila. Now I have to drive out of my community for good food. As for the wonderful tequila, I started buying myself $400 bottles of tequila instead of paying $60 a shot at Bramido. I have to admit I stick to the $200 bottles mostly at home. I have my place for Menudo, Vallejo's. I love their's. They are my close friends. But, now I have to drive out of my neighborhood. Good tequila at most restaurants isn't a reality. If they have good tequila, I rarely like their food. Will I go to Bramido again maybe for Crispy Tacos and a Beer. My cousin recently asked me to take her there. She likes the micheladas. I told her, "I don't go there anymore." read more

Love this place! Food and service is always good. I get crispy shrimp tacos and you can ask them to split and clean (devein), otherwise they come whole free chips and salsa with your purchase. They have 3 bathrooms that are okay- no smells, but could use updates. They play the game and have a bar. Competitive prices. read more

I wanted something saucy, so my daughter chose enchiladas, we saw all the reviews & went on a whim. Enchiladas are not enchiladas with no enchilada sauce. Service was quick & easy. Extremely disappointed with the enchiladas. 10/10 would never order again. I'm hard pressed to consider trying the sope. I tried it, it's good. Had me scared there. Hopefully it was an oversight with the missing enchilda sauce on mine & my daughters enchiladas. read more

It can be a little intimidating walking in to order, but it is well worth it every time. The Mexican food here is always amazing, and the service is always very quick and friendly. The Molcajete that they serve here is a staple for me and my partner. It's enough for both of us to share, but the other food we've ordered here has always been very good. There's always a churro stand right outside if you need a fix for your sweet tooth. There's parking to the left and to the right of the place. The place is located in a rougher part of town so make sure you don't leave any valuables in plain sight. read more

What a menu! It's a taqueria, so you won't be TOO surprised, but it really is a pretty thorough offering of authentic Mexican cuisine. AND there's a bar and an incredible salsa bar there too for both dine in and take out. Service is medium paced. Not too quick, not too much of a wait. It's a fair amount of time between order and delivery to the table and the food comes out looking fresh and smelling delightful. Plenty of tables on the restaurant side, but it's connected to the bar side where there's more seating. It's an easy A for me and their food is consistently tasty. read more

I am from Hawaii and sadly I admit that we do not have authentic Hispanic, Mexican food. That's said, any journey to an authentic Mexican restaurant is a great experience for me!!! On this go around, Sacramento was a stop over as I was enroute back to my home in Honolulu. My buddy (Sacramento Resident) picks El Bramido as our place for a snack. It was mid to late afternoon by the time we got to El Bramido; an off time after the lunch crowd and before the dinner rush. Interior looks so very local; like a local restaurant in any hood. The tables and chairs looked like they jumped forward from the 1970's. Clean, well kept and so very retro! There is no table service for ordering your meal or beverages. There is an order taker who will take your order, you will pay the order taker and that same order taker will deliver the meals and beverages to your table. So our group ordered and shared a house burrito (large enough for 4 ppl), a carne asada french fries, a bunch of tacos and a shrimp dish. I'm not doing a good job of describing our food, mainly because I forgot to grab a menu so I can accurately describe and write this review. That shrimp was excellent by the way. A tip of the seasoning, you can order your food mild medium or hot on the spice. A tip of the menudo is only available on the weekends. There are no left overs Period Dot! I will go there again if I am visiting the Sacramento area... read more

Food hella bomb normally but y'all need to stay away from them shrimp. I was hungover af and wanting something bomb. They totally killed my vibe. Hella over priced and not cleaned. On god if I'm paying $20 for a shrimp plate, them shrimp best be deveined. My girl said the cooks are "huevones" for not cleaning them shrimp. She know her food. She a high calorie individual, but i love her tho. Lucky for me I got a back up burrito. Gotta keep one on deck. The streets don't play. But yeah get anything except the shrimp, everything else smacks. read more

Yes! They are known for their tacos and tasty Micheládas. I finally had their burrito and a sope, also spectacular. From the friendly bartenders to the quickly made, very authentic food they serve: I would say that El Bramido has THE BEST Mexican food in all of Sacramento. The Al Pastor and Carnitas are great meat choices. And for someone who usually goes with a "street taco"? I highly recommend the crispy Pollo Asado taco, YUM! Other items worthy of a mention -- the pozole, chile rellenos, ceviche tostada... I think I've ordered everything on the menu except a torta, so I'll have to try that soon. El Bramido, greatest secret in Sacramento! read more

The first time I ate here I was very happy with the food. However, I went back for takeout last week and was less than pleased. In the middle of eating my chicken fajitas I found either someone's fake nail that had popped off or a piece of plastic. Not only disgusting, but I nearly chipped a tooth. I left the next day for a trip so I didn't have a chance to do anything about it other than dump the rest. Waste of money and a horrible end to the day. read more

The moment I stepped foot into this place, I was met with delicious smells of good seasoned food and the sounds of the Copa Americana playing on the tv screens. This place was quite small but just enough to fit a handful of people who wish to sit and eat. The doorway by the order table had a whole cantina! With the salsa bar. I ordered a simple two crispy tacos de carne asada and let me tell you! They did not disappoint! It was like taking a bite into the foods of my childhood. This place took me back to being a kid eating tacos right outside the door of my mom's hair salon. The Crispy tacos had a hefty ratio of Meat and Gooey cheese. And the salsa to pair was delicious! I ordered an Agua de Jamaica and it was both sweet and tart, just perfect. I definitely recommend this place; they have sooo many options to choose from! read more
