    La Ciudad is such a nice addition to West Sacramento! The space looks very modern, clean, and spacious. The owner mentioned they are planning to add more outdoor seating soon, which will be awesome for nice days.For breakfast, we both ordered the huevos divorciados and some coffee. Everything was excellent, but the standout for me was the Tierra Blanca latte, it was absolutely delicious and had a great, noticeable coconut flavor.I love how the layout is set up with a separate bar area and a dedicated coffee bar that also sells fresh pastries and ice cream. There is so much variety here, and I can't wait to come back and try more items off the menu!

    Ronnie and the rest of the gang that work here are absolutely the warmest and kindest people! You feel like family dining here and we saw a handful of regulars. We enjoyed the elote appetizers, ribeye tacos, my vegetarian dish on a corn open face tortilla, horchata latte, and OMG the butter cake with churro ice cream is EXCELLENT. We will be back here again and again! :)

    my best friends and i wanted to have brunch/a study date and we've been wanting try this place out for months, so why not? from the outside, the building is aesthetically pleasing, but the inside... is absolutely stunning! it feels so cozy and comfortable. we were greeted by amy, the sweetest lady ever, and the food and drinks were amazing! this place definitely has some regulars now. amy is the bestest, we will see you soon!

    We came for brunch on Father's Day. Cute spot with a coffee shop connected to the restaurant. My husband had a shrimp cocktail and I had a chile relleno. It's definitely more of a Mexican fusion food take vs traditional Mexican food. The food is well priced. I had an Americano as well and surprisingly the coffee was great! My son had a horchata chai latter and he loved it. Looking forward to returning.

    Chilequiles verde with canela soul latte. Huevos divorciados in the back

    This place is a great addition to west sac. So beautiful inside. The service was good. The food is amazing. I have the Chilequiles Verde and the sauce was delicious! Had a nice kick to it and full of flavor. I also had the canela soul latte and it was yummy! Would definitely go there again. They have two menus which was a little confusing at first but it's a cafe and a restaurant together so from 8am-3pm you can get cafe food and all day they have the restaurant food. I would love to back and try the restaurant menu.

    Really wanted to like this place because I've been wanting to try it for a while. The vibes and ambiance are definitely there. It has that nostalgic Mexican feel and the food looks amazing in pictures. We came in today for breakfast and I wanted to order an agua fresca but they were completely out of all three options. We were told their "shipment" hadn't come in yet which was a little disappointing. What really threw me off though was the cook being on her phone while making the food. She literally had the phone to her ear and was holding it with her head. I found it pretty unprofessional especially since the kitchen is visible to customers. At one point she put it on speaker and we could hear the entire conversation which was basically just gossip. I understand if it was an important call but this definitely wasn't that and it really killed the vibe. I ordered the red chilaquiles and added chicken. The menu states that the eggs come scrambled but when my food came out the eggs were over easy with a completely runny yolk. I didn't think I needed to clarify that I didn't want a runny yolk when the menu specifically says scrambled. Overall just an unfortunate experience for our first time here. There were a few things that could've easily been avoided and the experience just wasn't what I expected. Sadly I don't think I'd come back.

    CHILE RELLENO AHOGADO plate at La Cuidad

    La Ciudad in West Sacramento is a stylish modern Mexican spot that immediately feels welcoming. The exterior has a clean contemporary look, and the patio with colorful umbrellas and communal tables gives it a relaxed neighborhood vibe. Inside, the space opens up with high ceilings, modern lighting, patterned tile, and a large mural that adds a lot of character without feeling overdone. We started with the guacamole, and it set the tone for the meal. It was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious. Fresh, bright, and well balanced. Definitely some of the better guacamole I have had, both in flavor and presentation. For my entrée I ordered the chile relleno. It was very good and I would recommend it. The pepper was nicely roasted and topped with a creamy sauce that worked really well with the dish. Two others in our party tried the chicken tamal. The tamales themselves were good and fairly traditional in flavor, but the mole sauce was the standout. It was rich, complex, and clearly the highlight of that dish. Service was also excellent. Our server was very helpful and attentive without hovering or getting in the way too much. He checked in at the right times and helped keep the meal moving smoothly. Overall this was a very good experience. Between the thoughtfully designed space, strong flavors coming out of the kitchen, and great service, La Ciudad is definitely worth a visit. Overall rating: 4 out of 5. I would happily come back and try more of the menu.

    Ribeye tacos
    Melanie L.

    Came for the first time for lunch on a weekday. Greeted fairly quickly and sat outside. Sunny but they have umbrellas but it gets warm quick as it didn't cover a lot of the table. Interior and exterior was clean and had very cute decor. They also serve ice cream here on the left side of the restaurant which is a nice touch. Food was disappointing despite being plated well. 3/5 guac - pretty but lackluster in taste and it was presented without plates or napkins. Not a huge deal but we didn't get silverware or napkins until food arrived. 3/5 ribeye tacos. Meat was tough and chewy. Green salsa was sweet and not very tasty. Friend got shrimp tacos and said it was just okay. Another friend got a chile relleno which was decent. The rice was good and the creamy white sauce on her plate was the best thing we had. Not sure I'd be back for food. Everything was extremely pretty tho. If return I'd get something different or maybe to try the ice cream. The service was friendly but extremely slow and didn't get a check back after food was dropped until we were finished. A bit disappointed in my experience, not sure this is on my list of places to return anytime soon. Got pretty pictures of my food tho.

    Chilequiles rojos
    Rebecca K.

    I saw this place just opened on social media and I had to check it out. I love places with a big beautiful mural inside, it just sets the vibe. Inside is very vibrant, open, and clean. Their parking lot is really small, so we ended up parking in the neighborhood. Our server was Amy who was friendly and patiently answered my questions. We ordered the blanco canela latte and the Tierra blanco latte. We also ordered the chorizo burrito and the chilequiles rojos. I saw they also have mole and chile relleno so I'll have to go back and try those dishes. There are some days where they close in the evening but I believe that's during the weekend, their hours are on the front door. Pros: everything is made fresh when you order. I wasn't sure about the spice level for the chilequiles and was offered a sample. It took a bit because they made a fresh batch just for me to try. I loved the chorizo burrito, the green sauce was so flavorful and complimented the chorizo very well. I enjoyed the chilequiles as well. Amy was great and checked up on us regularly. Cons: parking can be tricky. The neighborhood homeowners already have their cars parked on the street as well.

    Egg and chorizo torta and huarache
    Arturo B.

    The staff were friendly and the place itself was very clean and cute, but it was very hot inside. There was about a 20 minute wait time for our torta and huarache, but the food was still served almost cold. The portions were very small and the chorizo/egg to cheese ratio is not good.

    Overall Experience: We visited La Ciudad MX City Urban Market for Saturday brunch and were so impressed. This newer spot in West Sacramento brings bold Mexican flavors together with a modern, urban market vibe, and it truly feels like a gem for the community. It's the kind of place that makes you excited to come back and try more. Concept & Space: La Ciudad is more than just a restaurant, it's an urban marketplace featuring a café, nieveria/paletería, and full restaurant all in one. The inside was very clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The market-style layout makes it feel lively yet comfortable, and you can tell a lot of intention went into the vision of the space. Drinks: The café menu highlights Mexican-inspired coffee and drinks, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the iced Suspiro Maya latte, which was absolutely delicious and perfectly sweet. My husband got the iced Canela Soul latte, and he really enjoyed it as well. Both drinks were well-balanced and flavorful. Food: I ordered the chorizo & egg torta, which was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. It comes with avocado salsa, but I highly recommend asking for their spicy salsa on the side if you like a little heat, it adds the perfect extra kick. My husband ordered the chorizo burrito, which was also delicious and hearty. The menu has many lunch and dinner items that look amazing, and we're already planning a return visit to try more. Service: The service was wonderful. Our servers were so sweet, checked in on us regularly, and took the time to share the history and vision behind La Ciudad. It was really nice hearing how the café, restaurant, and market all come together as one urban marketplace. Parking: There is a small parking lot available, and we also noticed plenty of nearby street parking, which made it easy to visit. Final Thoughts: La Ciudad MX City Urban Market is such a welcome addition to West Sacramento. Great food, delicious drinks, warm service, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend stopping by, especially for brunch!

    I came to La Ciudad for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday. Parking lot is limited but thankfully some spots were open when I got here so I had no trouble finding parking. The interior is stunning, elegant, clean and touches of traditional Mexican decor. When I first walked in I was greeted and welcomed in, staff is very friendly. This is a great concept, Mexican urban market where you can order coffee, ice cream or other goodies to go on one side or sit down to enjoy a meal on the right. It's is an open space with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. There's even a mini fusbool outdoors just like in Mexico. The coffee was a 10/10, love to and the server had my coffee remade because i accidentally forgot to order it dairy free. I got the chorizo burrito and it was yummy as well- I'd give it a 8/10. My boyfriend ordered the chicharron and he said that he wished the chicharron was much crunchier and it was a little too soft for a chicharron for him but it still had good flavor. I can't wait to be back and try their other items!

    The newest Mexican offering in West Sacramento. Beautiful decors inside. Very high end. Artwork, bar design, layout of the restaurant. You can tell every detail was meticulously chosen. I am pretty sure ownership here runs my fiancées favorite midtown spot, Zocalo's. The location is super convenient and close to home for me. I hope this place can succeed as I hope for all the eateries in town. Went to pick up a couple breakfast burritos after my workout recently. Sat at the bar and had a beer while I waited. Service was great. Vibes were high for the spot. Now I'm sure a lot of lady's can relate to my breakfast burrito dilemma here; it was a fantastic breakfast burrito with great flavors and of high quality. Problem is that the burrito in question was small. Sure there was plenty of cheese and the eggs were scrambled perfectly, some crispy bacon and spicy chorizo. But upon opening the bag and seeing the burrito I was extremely disappointed in the overall size of it. This is not to disparage La Ciudad as it was my first time here. I plan to return and try more of their menu as the pictures I've seen do it justice. For two breakfast burritos and a modelo my total was $33 before tip.

    Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

The food wasn't good at all, didn't live up to our expectations. The mimosa flight tasted so warm and watered down that we couldn't even drink it. The steak was super thin so we couldn't distinguish if it was cooked medium well. We all agreed that my breakfast burrito was the only one that tasted good out of the 2 dishes we ordered. The chicken didnt even taste like chicken either, tasted artificial. I thought my friend ordered a pita bread with tortilla and beans etc. The bathroom is disgusting, super dirty, not kept clean. Toilet paper everywhere, toilet dirty etc. The restaurant looks pristine but once you go to the restroom, super gross and makes you rethink if why a restaurant looks so bougie but can't keep their restroom clean. Most likely we won't come back. I think people come here for the river view.
