I hadn't been here in a while, but I'm reminded why I loved it so much. The food is authentic, flavorful, and consistently delicious. When I first discovered this spot, I was coming in weekly--I was genuinely obsessed. The customer service is always warm and welcoming, and the owners are incredibly sweet and accommodating, which makes the experience even better. While the prices are a bit on the higher side for the area, the quality absolutely makes it worth it. I've recommended this place to so many people and will definitely keep coming back. read more

If I can give this restaurant 0 stars I would. We wanted to give a new spot a try and oh do we regret it. Food was so bland and nothing authentic to it. Salsa seemed like it was poured from a Costco jar and when asking for more chips they said we couldn't unless we paid extra. Mind you it was a group of 5 people (that btw all paid individually) and was still given a really small bowl of chips. We will not be coming back and will not recommend this place. read more

The food here is really good! I had the birria tacos and my friend had the enchiladas. They were both fantastic! The young lady at the register was so helpful and friendly. It's kind of a hole in the wall but don't let that keep you from enjoying this gem. read more

First time here and we are definitely coming back! I tried the enchiladas and they were so good! We also had the fried fish, tacos with the homemade tortillas, and a burrito. Loved all of it! Service is good too. read more

They are open. I don't know who said they are closed... but I'm glad I didn't listen to them. I saw people going in and out. I'm glad I didn't leave the parking lot. Walked in to the sound of pleasant Mexican music and wonderful smell of good cooking. Several patrons inside as well eating away and enjoying the atmosphere and food. read more

Okay, I need to apologize to all the Mexican restaurants I have four and five stars to because after eating at "Molcajetes Apatzingan" you are now all three star restaurants! This place raised the bar by two stars easy. They make their own home made corn tortillas that made this flour tortilla guy switch to all corn from now on! Service is great, family owned and operated and their daughter Corrina was amazing and helped these two white people understand their dishes with very Mexican names! I got steak fajitas and my wife got carne asada. Let me start there. Both dishes were sublime. Nobody comes close to the quality of this places food. My wife then had to try a chicken taco and I had a bite. Crazy tender and juicy is all I can say. The ambiance is not what El Naviello is but nobody is. It's an extremely well hidden gem between 47th and Fruitridge on Franklin blvd. No matter what you get make sure you get their corn tortillas! We can't wait to go back! Thank you to the nice family especially Corinna who are doing something special here in the heart of South Sacramento read more

We bought like $120+ worth of food to eat there, they gave us a tiny bowl of chips and like one individual salsa container, no napkins, the tables and chairs were dusty. But we stayed and when we asked for more chips they said they would charge us more. Food was not even worth it, the Salsa was not traditional. I would not recommend read more

I was in the area and I was hungry. Found this on my yelp page being close in distance and high rating but low reviews so I decided to give it shot. I ordered enchiladas with quail and seafood cocktail. They were so good. Everything was very savory and I came out fuller than full. Enchiladas (dry rub): ***** Seafood cocktail: ***** Service: ***** Decor: ***** 20 out of 20 stars... I'm definitely coming back to explore the menu more:, read more

Molcajetes Apatzingan! So I've never been more south than Pacifica. But I can imagine that if this is what people cook, I'll never leave Mexico. Only place I've seen enchiladas apatzingan style in Sacramento. It's a dry rubbed enchilada. Super tasty. The rest of the menu is just as unique. This is a small authentic Mexican styled eatery. Clean and tasty. The staff is super nice. A hole in the wall is a necessity for anyone into finding under appreciated Mexican food. Grab a beer there while you eat or wait for your take out. I watched a Spanish cooking show. Awesome experience. Great place and food. read more

It's like a mini vacation coming here. The place looks like and feels like some hole in the wall place somewhere in Michoacan, well, because it's a place for Michoacanos, except it's in south Sacramento. Mexican polka blaring in the background. Futbol on TV. And, if you are not a Michoacana or Michoacano, you are the turista when you are at this joint. We've been here several times. So far we've only ordered the molcajete, as we can't get ourselves to order anything else be we so love their molcajete. Thick. Rich. Savory. Yum. It comes with a side of tortillas, which are hand made right before they are served steaming hot. Maybe hand made corn tortillas are no big for some people, but for us they were a revelation. We've never had them like that. It's like Mexican grandma love in the form of a tortilla. One order of the molcajete is enough for two, especially if you get a side of rice and beans. The food is honest and authentic. read more

Been twice. Once I had the michoacan estilo enchiladas, which were great. It was basically some griddled homemade tortillas with sauce and crunchy cabbage on top and two meats, both of which were awesome, especially the grilled chicken. Not what one normally thinks of as enchilada, but that's the michoacan estilo part. Homie had tacos, made better by fresh homemade tortillas. Next time we went, I got molcajete mixto, which is the cauldron of awesome (meats, cheese, cactus and saaaauuuuce) and then I made tacos out of it with the homemade tortillas. Homie had huevos rancheros which came with scrambled eggs, not my fave except they were the fluffiest smoothest damn scrambled eggs I have seen since my grandfather died. My grandfather made awesome scrambled eggs. I don't know if they always make them scrambled or if they always do it that well, but it was impressive. They also get points because their refried beans seem to be homemade. Not super cheap cause I was getting all the especial stuff, but aside from that, they have the usual taqueria fare at typical prices. Homie said the pastor was good. read more

Very good Mexican food! Haven't had food like this in a long time, I will recommend the enchiladas apatzingan style, super good food; every bite takes me back to my moms home town back in Mexico, delicious little place!! read more

Taco truck style selection, but this place has been around way too long not to have got a few things really right. Best lengua I ever had. Gum-shrinkingly sweet horchata. Lovely dad-style service from the owner. And the wall hangings still wrapped in protective plastic put the extra star on my review. read more

This restaurant is actually called Molcajetes Apatzingan; it's the same restaurant menu with just a different name. It is easy to miss as you are driving by, so keep an eye out for the sign for Plaza Zacatecas. The staff here was really nice, and the food is delicious and plentiful for the cost. I got their specialty enchiladas, which were not really like enchiladas. I don't actually like enchiladas, but I ordered this dish because everyone on yelp said to do so. I suppose you could call it a deconstructed enchilada. The tortillas were folded in half at the bottom of the plate and covered in red sauce. On top of that was sauce, cabbage, and cheese, and on top of that was your choice of meat. I ordered the chicken, which came on the bone and was very tender, and the Freid dried beef, which was similar to beef jerky. I was glad I ordered the dried beef just to try it, but I don't think I would order it again. It was a little too dry and, I felt, didn't melt with the rest of the dish. But everything was really delicious. My only complaint was that it took a while to get the bill, and we were there with three 5-year-olds, and they were getting very antsy. read more

Many choices and hilariously tacos and beer are not featured. My family all got burritos and we were served by a 12 (a guess) year old waitress. House made chips come with a watery salsa and a plate of refried beans with a cotija topping. The ambiance was less than thrilling, burritos large and filled with meat and agua frescas delicious and plentiful; melon, fresa or horchata. They have a nice patio and outside bathroom. Laugh out loud about chicken nuggets on the menu. read more

Their food is nasty and very bad service won't recommend to expensive to go out and eat with the family

A mom n pop place. The guy taking our order was quite nice. We had a burrito and a plate. Decent prices. Nothing we ordered really stood out so I'd say that it's fairly average. read more

I've been going to this place for the last 6 years and they have yet to disappoint, they treat you like family and even check up on how your meal is and its just the best. read more

I am very dissapointed in this place. We walked in and the lady was nice. She sat us down and gave us menus. She didnt bring us any chips, i ordered a chicken quesilldia and it was more tortilla then cheese and chicken and was so dry. The tacos had more onion than meat. They didnt even offer to bring us any salsa until we asked. It was too expensive for the quality of food and service we received. Never coming back again. read more

This place is worth a visit. We gave it a shot for breakfast one day, the best parts of which were some delicious salsa on the huevos and tasty Cantaloupe agua fresca. It has an outside patio where you can almost forget you're in the industrial district of Franklin Blvd.--I can imagine going back and having some tecates and tacos in the shade some evening. Service was good too (though we were the only people in there at 9 on a Friday AM). read more

Good. place. They are doing remodeling. Hole in the wall but food was great. We had a torta and menudo. They were out of agua fresca but they did have homemade oj. Homemade tortillas were also great. Owner gave us a disc for tortillas being a lil late. Will come back. read more
