    Americano Taco with ground beef
    Sarah D.

    Great dinner here after the drive up the 99 from Fresno. This place was close to our Airbnb and open till at least 9pm-since we got into town about 7:45, this was the perfect place. Very friendly and welcoming service. Seemed like a fun Friday night spot, good sized crowd in the patio singing karaoke and enjoying beers. We had a Modelo, carne asada tacos and their Americano taco. The Americano was my fav-so juicy , crispy taco shell, fresh toppings and cheese. I'd like to try more of their menu next time I visit Sac. Dining area, bar seating , and patio. Looked like a great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

    Wow! I went on a quest to get tacos for Taco Tuesday. I found this hidden gem close to my house. Absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back!

    Good service and I got the super quesadilla with grilled chicken. Food was good and price was not bad.

    Birria Taco

    I was a little disappointed that the Birria tacos don't come with consommé (or at least mine didn't). The pictures and reviews show the tacos coming with consommé and I checked and they don't sell it on the side so I was expecting it to be included. Unfortunately I didn't check the bag until I got to work so I couldn't go back and ask for some. For me the consommé is the best part of birria tacos so I was pretty sad. That being said, the tacos were super good (a bit dry because no consommé but still good!) and the prices are unbeatable! I just recommend asking for the consommé if you order birria:) I plan to go again to get the full experience :)

    The front entrance has a different name "la Barca."

    It's taco Tuesday! This little restaurant is off the grid (so to speak) yet they make delicious Baja Style tacos. The taco Tuesday deal is pretty good. You can get pork or chicken tacos for $1 a piece, and I decided to try 3 of the chicken tacos. They were extremely fresh and the chicken was nicely seasoned with chile and cumin (which I love), fresh chopped cilantro, onion, and garnished with sliced radishes. I ordered my tacos with extra fresh lime on the side since I love the Mexican tradition of squeezing fresh lime juice on chicken or fish tacos. An added bonus to Birria & Mariscos is the awesome fresh salsa bar. There are several types of salsa to choose from ranging from mild to spicy, red, brown, and green (tomatillo) stye. The ambiance of this restaurant is decorated in a clean simple southwest style. I love the fact that this restaurant is super clean and the noise level us quite low. Additionally, the tacos are cheap and the beer is very cold. I believe that Birria would be a great place to stop for a quick yet satisfying Mexican style meal with the option to eat in the restaurant or as take out.

    Wayne K. basically covered it. La Barca is a good, inexpensive casual Mexican spot where Taqueria La Altena used to be. They have a lot of burrito and taco options (including crispy tacos with housemade shells), and they serve breakfast platters and breakfast burritos. Solid food and friendly service. Not the kind of thing you make a long drive for, but certainly an attractive option if you live near by or are passing through. I have yet to to try the birria or the mariscos... since they put those foods in their name (unlike burritos) I have high hopes for those dishes.

    We finally had time off again on a Sunday to come and enjoy thier yummy Sunday Brunch…read more Everything tasted amazing! Wish I could eat more I would of tried more dishes. Last time we were there I thought I was able to get just plain tortillas from the tortillas lady spot. But she looked confused then I asked for a few flour tortillas. She asked what meat I wanted to make street tacos. That's fine the pork tasted very good. But I like plain tortillas with the eggs and other dishes. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I guess next time we will ask the server. We started with the omelets this time. Very good and well made. We tried many things, hard to take pictures. It was very busy and carrying a plate didn't work well when taking pictures.

    This place was the bomb before the pandemic. If you ever went here before that time you would know…read morewhat I am talking about. The portions have been cut in 1/2 for a lot of menu items here over the last 5 years namely the chimichangas but seems like everything else too. The chimichangas used to be twice the size they are now and were loaded with cheese. Now they have no cheese and 1/2 the filling so there mostly flour tortilla now. Very disappointing and the plates they use now are smaller, they used to serve the food on these huge platters. Anyway went there last night (1st time in 3 years) and this is the plate I got. The 2 chimichangas are now the same size as the tamale on the other side of the plate.The service was terrible too. We did not get our food until almost an hour and by the time the food showed up we were full from the chips and bean dip and salsa wich by the way we had to wave them down several times as we seemed invisible to refill the chips and our drinks. We wont be going back again for probably another 3 years. I highly recommend Felipe's in Citrus heights on Auburn blvd. Way better value and the food quality is on par with el tapatio but with five star service!

    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.

Carne asada: Meat was okay. Would skip next time. Kids meal comes with a drink and ice cream, which was a hit. Nice ambience with indoor and outdoor options.

    I've been to Polanco more times than I can remember over the years. I hadn't been in a few years…read moreand had really been craving their food, so when we had tickets to a show this past week I wanted to take my girlfriend there beforehand. It's always been a busy place and sometimes hard to get into before a show, but the service was always great. This time we sat outside, which actually had a really nice view of the Golden 1 entrance. Our waiter was really nice and courteous, but it was pretty obvious he was doing the job of about three people. He did the best he could and stayed friendly the whole time, but when you're spread that thin it's hard to stay on top of drinks, food coming out, checking on tables, etc. We didn't really hold that against him because it seemed much more like a staffing issue than anything he was doing wrong. One of the things I've always liked about Polanco is their carafe of Palomas. We ordered one at the bar and then another at the table. When we got the bill, we noticed an extra charge for four cups. After looking at it again, we realized that after paying $48 for a carafe, you're also being charged for the cups you drink it out of. That is honestly one of the most ridiculous charges I've ever seen at a restaurant. I've always really liked this place, so it was disappointing. Being short staffed is one thing, but that's a management issue, not the waiter's fault. Charging people extra for cups after they just bought a $48 carafe of cocktails is just wild. This review does not refer to their food, ambiance, decor or staff. Unfortunately this has to do with under staffing (managing issue) and now charging for CUPS
