The verde sauce was good; not too salty. The whole beans were surprisingly flavorful. I would definitely order this again. Waitress was pleasant and checked on us several times.

Wow, the asada tacos were my favorite, but the shrimp and chicken tacos were also delicious. I came…read moreon Taco Tuesday, so the tacos were a little cheaper, making them an even better value. Each taco had a generous amount of meat, was well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The real game changer, though, was adding the jalapeño cream sauce along with a few salsas from the salsa bar which took the tacos to another level. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars just for that! Also, I'd recommend the cucumber lime agua fresca drink. It tasted refreshing and the perfect amount of each flavor. Their menu has a great variety of options, and I noticed several people ordering the dinner plates, which looked absolutely massive. I also saw them bring out a sizzling hot skillet that I could hear from a few tables down. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the salsa bar was fresh, organized, and full of appetizing choices. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

What an amazing experience! My wife and I stopped in for lunch, and everything exceeded our…read moreexpectations. I had the shredded chicken burrito, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and one of the best I've had. My wife ordered the caldo de res and loved it. The salsa bar was fantastic with plenty of fresh, tasty options, and the homemade chips were warm, fresh, and addictive. The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was incredibly fast. Everyone we encountered greeted us with a smile and made us feel genuinely welcome. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food!

I wanted a regular sized Cadillac margarita on the rocks. The menu had a tall double advertised. I'm a little lady, so too big for me. The bartender said no problem and made me a small one with a beautiful flower to boot. Hubs got a nonalcoholic beer. We both enjoyed our drinks and watching a busy Friday. Everyone was working very hard. Looking forward to coming back and trying some food.

We have been back six times since that time It is always busy and we have had great experiences with service. Food quality was excellent, and I have a very picky family but the menu selection satisfies everyone. I can't really speak towards authenticity, but it's tasty to me and my family. We went to the Sunday Brunch today and there was a nice variety of food options. I believe it was 27 bucks a person but it was well worth the price.

After seeing The Odyssey at the Esquire IMAX, we walked over to Tequila Museo Mayahuel for dinner…read more It was the perfect way to end our evening! The restaurant had great energy and a fun, buzzy atmosphere. The crowd was a lively mix of people from the Capitol, couples enjoying date night and moviegoers grabbing dinner before or after a show. We ordered the carnitas and carne asada. Both plates were generous and full of flavor. The carnitas were tender and practically fell apart with a fork, and the carne asada was cooked perfectly. Add friendly service and a colorful setting, and you have a great downtown Sacramento dining spot!

We went in a Saturday around 2pm, the restaurant was not busy at all and we were seated promptly…read more The food at Tequila Museo Mayahual was good, and we enjoyed the flavors and overall atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.

I ordered the carne asada super burrito with light beans and no salsa, and it was a 10/10! So flavorful and filling. I also had the chicken tacos, which are my absolute favorite--another 10/10! The carne asada tacos were good, but honestly, I think the burrito was so flavorful that it stole the spotlight from the tacos this time. We'll definitely be back soon. This is officially our go-to taco spot!

I was really impressed with this place, it is beautiful inside. What really impressed me was as…read moresoon as I came in the door and started walking toward the counter and people that work there saw me coming they all said a greeting of hello or welcome, As they walked by. They didn't just walk by like frazzled, hurried workers like most restaurants pushing through the crowds. They actually gave me a nice smile and said welcome, and then walked by. And then I got to the reception area found that there was already a pretty big crowd at around the 5:30 PM or so I guess a lot of early birds come to eat there on Sunday. The receptionist asked for how many and said you'd be like a 20 minute wait and there was chairs where people were waiting but it was only like a 15 minute wait. The server was fast with the chips and salsa and ice water and then soon the waiter came and took my order. He was really quick and witty, fun to talk to. What I really enjoyed was as the noise of the table Near quieted down and they left. I saw a young man cleaning up the table and getting it ready for the next group of people. He was dressed really nice and had a tie on. Having been in restaurants most of my life I said to myself, I bet you he works with the owners or something. And I said to him, are your related to people that own the place ? he said my parents own this place. He was very friendly and polite. He told me a tiny bit about the restaurant and how everything had been since 1970, much older than he was, he was only a sophomore in high school I think. I never really got his name, but I was kind of proud of him because he was working hard at his family's restaurant. I ordered probably something bigger than I could eat because I had to take leftovers home, but it was really a tasty meal, and they're coming out with more chips and salsa without being asked, probably didn't help as well as a second lemonade. It's really impressive when you have a well oiled machine and it appeared to me that the people that worked there seem to be happy so that's always a good sign of good management. Several years back, I worked in the restaurant industry doing maintenance and repairs so I went to a lot of different restaurants and saw a lot of things so I know what to look for. I'm definitely gonna come back when my brother and his wife come up from the Bay Area my friend Ivan he'll wanna go there for lunch or dinner I know. He's kind of a picky eater and was born in Mexico, but I think he'll be impressed with this place.

I got the 2 item plate and chose verde enchilada and the verde chimichanga. It came with rice and beans but I asked for no beans. The pork was tender but was not spicy at all as the menu stated the pork verde would be spicy. The chimichanga was super cheesy. My friend ordered the steak ranchero dish and did not like it very much. It looked more like a stew. The ranchero sauce looked to be very watery.
