Job G.

One of those places you wish you could keep low-key but it's to amazing to keep it as secret. Come try it yourself if you love seafood..

Mixed omelet
Colaroyal ..

I had the mixed omelet (chorizo & steak) was perfect with country potatoes. Server was nice and food came out quick. The coffee was really good not your typical restaurant coffee. I really want to come back this afternoon and have the seafood tower

Aguachile half eaten... (sorry)

Went there for the first time last weekend and had the aguachile verde and the scallop special and it was AMAZING! Headed back to Sac this weekend just to try more! The service was exceptional and the horchata was perfect!

Ceviche de Peacado
Elizabeth R.

First time and won't be the last. Clean, friendly service. Ordered the fish ceviche was so good barely got to take a picture. The sauce it came with is worth coming for. They have micheladas, mimosas beer.

Pulpo Sarandeado.  If the octopus comes out this delicious, imagine how everything else taste.

Always coming back here 100% I am going to be so sad but incredibly happy for them once everyone figures out this place exists and it becomes super busy. I've tried several restaurants and have no idea why this never popped up, but let me tell you right now, I have no regrets. I had such a huge craving for octopus and got their Pulpo Sarandeado and it was immaculate. Presentation was so beautiful even when I got it for takeout. They listened to my request for extra spicy sauce on the side and even provided me a bag with tostada shells/crackers. Super sweet of them! Call me dramatic, but it's one of the best octopus I've had in a while. Super super tender and didn't have that rubbery texture from being overcooked. Each bite paired with the mango/onion/avocado and the sauce on the side made it so much better. Just an explosion of flavor, especially with a bit of lime, that instantly made me want to try everything else they had to offer. Does this not show you how much time and love they put in making every meal? Incredibly happy I spotted this restaurant and gave it a shot. I mean- look how beautiful this looks! Definitely worth your time/money with how large these portion sizes are. Please support them.

Mis Compas. I don't know who taught them how to make mariscos but they were taught right. I went back on two occasions to get their Torre Mariquera. It is banging. It has Callos De Hacha, Cooked Shrimp, Raw Shrimp, Octopus, FRESH TUNA and some other stuff. Sauce and flavor is on point. I feel like it's a great deal given it has hella seafood. Seafood quality reminded me of when I travel to Baja Sur or Sinaloa. Seafood also tastes fresh. I know the scallops were definitely fresh. Great deal in my opinion for what you get. Caguamas and cubetas were also reasonably priced. I walked by the kitchen and could see in. They were definitely clean. It's a new business and it seems like they're doing it right to make a name. I'll be back with family. Signed, ElTioBorracho

I have tried various Mexican restaurants and food joints in the Sacramento/Rancho Cordova area and this one is a stand out! It is very family friendly, and the staff here is very helpful. On one occasion I brought my 3 year old and my Abuelita, and they both liked the spot! I appreciate that kind of atmosphere. Some of the standout dishes to me are the coctel de camarón and aguas chiles. Although I have tried their arrachera and postres and they were delicious too. I have not tried one thing off the menu I didn't like. I would definitely come back!

Juicy quesabirria with a must try hot sauce

First time go here craving some tacos luckily enough I found this place while driving by and saw quesabirria on the menu is a must try for the price

Agua Chile verde

Love this place. Great food and service! Love the ambience of this place. It's my new go-to restaurant!

6 dollar churros.

Wonderfully cooked and it was tender. The premium price for the hamburger was worth it. The chicken sandwich my nephew had was fantastic and he was a huge fan of the s'mores.

Was in Sac for a concert and stopped by Cafeteria 15L for their happy hour. The place is huge with…read moreoutdoor and indoor seating. The happy hour prices were reasonable and had so many great options. Can't say for certain about the parking situation because it was a close walk from our hotel. We ordered 2 mocktails, the watermelon sugar and basil berry fizz. Both drinks were super sugary and tart, which I ended up diluting with water. Still refreshing and tasty, but I think it was a bit overkill on sugar. For our mains, we tried the rigatoni bolognese, trio of fries, and chicken tenders. All food and drinks for under $50! The portions were massive, especially the trio of fries, which I was not expecting. The sweet potato fries were a bit soggy compared to the other 2, which were significantly crispier. The chicken tenders were ok and probably the least exciting thing we ordered haha. On the other hand, the bolognese was by far the standout! Flavorful, rich, creamy and the cheese pull from the pasta was to die for. Our server was super cool and patient with us, as it was our first time coming here. Totally recommend checking this place out with a group of friends to enjoy happy hour.

Went on a Saturday for brunch with three other people and when I asked the wait time, the host took…read moreawhile to seat us, even though I said we were ok with outside. At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend). My son's chicken tenders were great as well and looked homemade and not like it came from a frozen bag. There is paid parking around the area. It was a 60 degree day but with jackets on, the weather felt amazing. When we had stepped into the restaurant it had felt too stuffy, so I am glad we got to seat outside.

Brunch today was at The Porch which is a Southern brunch right in Midtown Sacramento. The staff was…read morewarm and welcoming. We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

I finally stopped into Zebra Club at 9:30am on a Saturday to catch up with a big group of people…read more The bar was already hopping, and it looked like there was a previous group hanging out after watching early morning sports on the TVs. I ordered a Guinness and we moved to the back area as our group grew too large to have at the small front tables. They have breakfast and lunch available and had an impressive menu for what I thought was just a bar. We asked our server what she recommended and she said the waffle fries and French toast are great. While we passed on the French Toast (this time- I'm more of a savory breakfast person) we did get waffle fries ($7) and their Zebra Special ($15.50) that comes with two eggs, meat (ham, bacon or sausage), hash browns, and choice of toast. We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me. The staff here was so nice and attentive and we had so much fun with our group here. Would highly recommend checking them out.

Well, the meat was cold and it seemed like all that was done was fry the tortilla. We explained the food was cold and instead of ensuring the meat was warm, Mike stuck the food in the microwave - with the lettuce, tomato, and cheese! Now the server, Shana, gets 5 stars. She was understanding and apologized when we said the meat was cold AND after it was put into the microwave. I feel like Shana knows customer service.

Happened to be in the area a couple weeks ago so we had to try it given all the hype we've heard…read moreabout it. Let me say we were not disappointed. The food was delicious: I had the pear and pecan French toast and my wife had fried green tomatoes egg Benedict which she found super yummy. Their multiple line check-in and wait system where you line up again in a separate line once texted, process is an admittedly a bit clunky but I also surprisingly found it be very efficient. We went in on a Friday mid-morning and the wait for 2 was only about 15-20 minutes. I was blown away by how nice it was on the inside, it's a lot bigger and more modern than you would expect from seeing it on the outside. I'd say there are about roughly 25-35 tables combined inside and outside, so don't be discouraged if the line looks long. I promise it's not the hole in the wall it seems on the outside - it's really roomy on the inside! The food also comes out SUPER quick and the wait staff is super attentive and friendly. The only thing that I didn't quite understand was their pricing on their brewmosa. It's listed as $10 and it includes a PBR and only a splash of OJ but if purchased separately full cup of OJ and a can of PBR they're listed at $4 a piece. So I was a little bit confused and asked the waiter who was equality admittedly puzzled. I ended up buying the separate items and making my own brewmosa. I will say it was quite delicious! Their OJ is freshly squeezed which is a big big plus! Anyways I would highly recommend this place and we hope to be back soon if we find ourselves back in the area!

Parking can get hard to find especially during peak hours. This place was packed! After our wait, we were tended to immediately. Our party ordered a few items, and the wait for our food was a bit long. Although everything was good, I felt like it could be better. The hot chicken sandwich wasn't hot at all, and the sausage breakfast sandwich was a lot with the biscuit. All in all, we enjoyed our visit.
