    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.

    I love The Porch! I go pretty regularly for happy hour and have been there for brunch. My favorite…read morethings to order are the fried green tomatoes, beignets, and the spicy chicken sandwich. The food is delicious, but the staff is what makes it one of my favorite places in Sacramento. Shelby, and Corbett are both amazing bartenders and make our time there very enjoyable, also make delicious craft cocktails. I can't say enough about the Porch. Keep up the good work, guys!

    The location is solid, it's in the heart of midtown near many other restaurants and businesses…read more They do have their own parking lot but it's very small and I believe you do have to pay. There is plenty of paid street parking nearby. The interior of the restaurant feels hipster and fresh. The host and servers were very friendly. They offered their insight on what menu items we should order. I will say our food took forever to come out. We were only a party of 7 so I guess I can see why but it easily felt like 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. Some dishes came out way after the others came out. I wasn't really feeling anything on the menu. I ended up getting a dish that I normally wouldn't try since it seemed lol my best option. The Po Boy was actually a pleasant surprise. It was crunchy and its flavor complimented the bread nicely. The ranch made the pickled onions pop and it was a decent sandwich size too. The fries were warm and crunchy. The prices are about average for a 2026 brunch spot. I'd say expect to walk out of here for about ~$35+ for a meal for two. I don't really have anything negative to say about my meal or experience here except for how long our meal took to arrive. And for that, I had to deduct a star. Bottom line/TLDR: great shrimp sandwiches!

I recently purchased some espresso beans, and it is single origin, small batched woman owned, organic, simply amazing stuff. I'm so glad they have a newer location near me in Fair Oaks!

    Old Soul Coffee on L Street has a pretty good location…read more For quite some time I've enjoyed it-kind of tucked away hidden on a little alley near 17th and L Street. Generally not the type of place you find accidentally. I don't feel like that changes at all once you walk in the door. It''s not a loud place, almost every time I've been here, it seems to be parties of 3 or less, but usually less than that, either studying or getting work done on a laptop while drinking a coffee relishing in the quaint quiet steadiness of the shop. The spot kinda looks like it's always still under construction but after many visits I realize now that's just the decor. Parking is available here in a nearby lot though ample street parking seems to be the spot I choose on most visits. The employees are not annoyingly enthusiastic yet they are friendly, but more in an energy that matches the room kinda friendly. There are plenty of tables for customers at this shop along with my favorite pair of recliner-type chairs near the front of the store. This particular visit we decided we just wanted coffee and we went with an Iced Vanilla Latte ($7.50) and a Sea Salt and Honey Shaken Espresso ($6.75). The drinks came out very quickly-less than a five minute wait. I've always adored the Sea Salt Honey Espresso drink, as it's been my go-to at Old Soul ever since I discovered it there.This visit was no different as it was still so yummy and the perfect afternoon pick-me-up as I set out for a busy rest of the day. The wifey loved her vanilla iced latte, Old Soul has always used quality coffee beans and that looks like that hasn't changed as their coffee is as tasty as ever. Old Soul does offer pastries but we never really had a chance to try them on this visit as we had multiple food plans later that day but I can say from experience-I've always enjoyed their pastries when I was lucky enough to order one. In closing, Old Soul Coffee is a Sacramento staple as they have a few locations located all over the city and I've always had a genuine great coffee shop experience and this location was no different-highly recommend.

Just put your name down, take your time grabbing some coffee at a local spot, come back and explore the thrift shop next store, and then before you know it, your table will be ready for you. Okay, let's get into the food now. Everything here is delicious, quality, and filling. From the eggs, to the potatoes, to the pancakes, everything here is a classic diner, breakfast experience, but elevated. Speaking of pancakes, get them. Especially if they have the blueberry + lemon ones. So fluffy, decadent, sweet, and satisfying. Some of the best that I've had. Service is also fantastic. Our waitress brought excellent service and such fun, upbeat energy. Bacon & Butter is a 5-star breakfast spot that lives up to the hype and is worth the wait if you have time to kill. I'm so glad that we stopped here!

The weather was beautiful and sunny that we were seated outside the patio area. The wait wasn't too bad on a Saturday. About 45 minutes and knowing where we are on the waitlist and getting a text that our table is ready was a huge plus. The service was amazing. Kudos to the staffs! I ordered the B&B burger and it was delicious. Only downside of the burger was the bottom bun being soggy. Probably toast the bottom so it can hold on longer since this was juiciest burger we ever had. It was cooked well to my liking though. We had their lemonades and lychee lemonade was refreshing and delicious. The kids want to come back again and try out other different foods because they love it. They were already asking when we can come back. So we'll definitely come back again.
