    Enchiladas Plate
    Cin V.

    Nice spot to grab a quick bite if you're stuck at the hospital for a few hours. Nothing fancy. It's your typical taqueria. The staff is extremely nice. I would come again alone for the nice staff. The food is mediocre; not bad, but not great. They have a salsa there that is above all other spicy salsas I've ever had at a Mexican spot. The jimica aqua fresca tastes like a non-alcoholic sangria. I would not recommend it. They were out of the pork tamales, so we settled for the vegetarian option, which was okay. The burrito was edible, nothing to brag about. The best thing here is the complimentary chips and salsa. This was my first time here and will probably be my last.

    We had some time to spare time between medical appointments and we were a little hungry and as we didn't want to lose our parking spot we took a little stroll up J street and happened upon Midtown Taqueria. We decided to wander in and share a carne asada super nacho and an ice cold Coke Zero. Service was very friendly and prompt and our order did not take too long as they were in between the lunch and dinner rush. The restaurant was small and very clean. The nachos were freshly made and plenty for two people to share. Wish the beans and guacamole had a little more flavor. What have you tried and what do you recommend?

    Salsa from the salsa bar

    Looking for something close ( walking distance) to Mercy General Hospital. Found this little place. Clean , fast service. Fresh hot chips and yummy salsa bar. Wanted something easy grab and go so ordered a few burritos to take back to the hospital. I recommend this place for sure.

    This restaurant specialize in authentic Mexican street food, particularly tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. I got the two chicken taco combo. Small double up corn tortillas filled with grilled seasoned chicken. The taco topped with onions, cilantro, salsa. The food was flavorful, and hot. The staff were nice and friendly.

    Chorizo street tacos with onion and celontro

    Chorizo street tacos are amazing here Stopped on a whim as I drove by. I arrived just before a big rush about 3. I the folks were very friendly, typical dive atmosphere, football on the screen. Saving this spot for next year's CIM

    Great service. Owners and workers are always polite and nice. Great spot for some street tacos! Owners take pride in what they do!

    Owners and workers are very polite and respectful. Great spot to sit and enjoy the ambience. You can never go wrong with some street tacos, always flavorful. Breakfast I always go with the machaca breakfast burrito.

    torta w/steak chopped up, thin & dry bun wet and mushy Gross
    Ronda C.

    Torta at first glance was different so I opened it up and the meat was finally chopped up a little pieces like I feed my dog of something other than Carnitas I ordered Carnitas and I think it was what they do steak but it is so tiny and thinly chopped up has no moisture in it it was like eating a soggy mushy bun with a bunch of mayonnaise the meat though there's not enough coverage for the meat the guacamole and the mayonnaise just made the bun completely soggy tomato was scarce and what lettuce they did put on it it must've been completely wet for this bun to be this soggy ..,the meat had no flavor this was a waste of $13 kind of weird because I had a good one here, anyway don't waste your money on that especially the steak if this is how they serve it disgusting I think if people want you to chop up or mince their food up they'll let you know! . WRONG MEAT SUNCE I ORDERED THE PORK CARNITAS. Chili Relleno was fine . Well I was looking forward to this food just like the last time and came out very disappointed. I think if people want their food minced up they will ask you to do that, overkill on the watery guacamole and mayonnaise. Good job Midtown Taqueria looks like the local taco stands are doing better than you are!! High five yourself if you're looking to lose business you're on your way.

    Super burrito

    I live in the neighborhood and order takeout from here regularly, I'm so surprised there are any negative reviews. It's a no-frills neighborhood taqueria, the food is always delicious with fair prices. The staff are super friendly and the red salsa is the best. 10/10!

    Street taco

    The food was amazing! We got the carne asada street tacos and they were made fresh right in front of us. We got a great portion of meat. The place was beautiful inside and very cozy. The service was excellent and the sauces were so good! We got the habanero sauce and some red sauce. Food was amazing. Will be going back!

    Carne asada fries and a big soda!
    Anastasia M.

    I give Midtown Taqueria a solid 4. It's consistent, the service is always friendly, the salsa bar is a nice touch, and it's so pleasant to sit outside and watch the world go by! Plus, there's parking and it's inexpensive!!

    Fish taco
    Richard H.

    Here is my two cents on the food quality and the quality of such.. Delivery was done by GrubHub, which was unsatisfactory instead of handing it to the client. They dropped it off at the door and walked away without even knocking on the door, letting them know it was there. ... I order three items a fish taco a crispy taco and a California burrito... NOTE: I hate that all these restaurants use premade crispy shells for their taco shells... they all break when you pick them up and try to eat the food so they're actually useless... it tasted so much better and was so much easier to eat when they used to actually fried their own taco shell..... plus all the taco shells are always cold when they put the ingredients inside the shells.... My chili Verde taco was only good in the respect that there were a large chunk of pork in the taco .... but as far as flavor goes, the meat itself is pretty mild or tasteless. The only thing that gave it flavor was the sour cream, some little bit of guacamole, and lettuce .. The fish taco was just mediocre....You could actually taste the flavor of the fish in the soft taco shell, which of course when you picked it up, fell apart in your hand ... the size of the quantity of the fish less than even an ounce... I also got the California burrito .. it said with french fries, who the hell thought that they were actually put a couple of french fries inside the damn burrito.. what moron came up with this idea french fries in a burrito.. So there were chunks of actually beef you could see the burrito was not worth the $12.50 for it ... So if you're looking for authentic burritos pass on this place because it's not worth the money or the effort ..

    Salsas could be better; burritos could have more flavor and refried beans. Lacked in authenticity.

I also love that they have a happy hour and indoor bar seating, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing dinner or just stopping in for drinks and appetizers. The music always adds to the fun atmosphere too. A special thank you to our waiter, Angel, who was incredibly patient, friendly, and helpful throughout our meal. Great service definitely made an already great experience even better. The menu has so many options that I still haven't tried everything, and that's honestly one of the reasons I'm excited to keep coming back. If you're craving a seafood boil in Sacramento, Hook & Reel is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to go back and work my way through more of the menu!

    Shout out for West Sacramento…read more.. Did you know that right in West Sacramento there is a seafood stand selling fresh sustainable caught hook n line fish plucked from the Bodega Bay? Well know you do... Ferrari Fisheries has a stand that sells black cod, ling cod, red snapper which all are year round catches; and seasonal Dungeness crab and salmon. When they have a fresh caught batch; they text their customers what is available catch, and time & date. To get their text notifications; you can sign up on their website. I was fortunate enough to get to their stand early enough on a notification day to buy a couple of Dungeness crabs. The crabs were live, priced at $11/pound. Awesome price! When you get to the stand, there are two lines. The first line you want to get into is the one nearest the big containers where the fish on ice or crabs are kept. If you want your fish filleted, let them know. It is a complimentary service. Then you head into the other line to pay. They take cash and card, I'm not sure about other payment types. Keep in mind, the inventory sells quickly especially the seasonal items. Folks queue up earlier than the opening time stated in the texts. The start time was 10am; I got there at 10:20 am. They sold out as I was leaving the stand. Anthony (owner and fishing captain), his wife, and team are terrific. They all were helpful and had the best attitudes. Welcoming. I'm sure they answer the same questions over and over. But when talking with each customer, they were engaged and provided individual attention. Top notch customer service!

The Farmers Market salad was so flavorful that I didn't need any salad dressing. Crushed pistachios surrounded the edge of the plate. I couldn't really taste it, but not a problem. The guava mocktails were light on the flavor, but still refreshing after a long walk outside. I'm so happy we stopped by. Maddie, you're a gem!

SIDE NOTE-to anyone going there 5 or more party, it's automatic 15% gratuity. JUST KNOW when someone orders to-go while dining, that to-go amount will be added to your dine in bill, of course meaning the gratuity tip will be higher on your final bill due to that to-go order added. They will make any changes for you there if you try to apply logic. Guess you have to pretend to walk in the door to order or call in while you're sitting down to place the order to-go to avoid it being part of the total bill. Hopefully they change that system because why would you charge to-go orders as part of the dine-in to rack up the gratuity tip for an under par service!? When I questioned the server how does it make sense and she said yes we can cancel the order and call it in rather than just taking the initiative to separate the orders. Make it make sense or maybe I'm just over reacting but it does seem like a way to get more money out of folks. Receipt name said nana and she had a bit of an attitude. I know she already got her tip automatically but at least display some customer service hospitality along the way. First time trying it and likely will be sticking to crab city or boiling crab instead when I crave seafood boil.
