just moved to downtown sac from sf a couple weeks ago, and none of the places i've eaten at since i've moved have impressed me as much as this place has. so far i've had the horchata, breakfast burrito (chorizo & honey bacon), carne asada burrito, & the al pastor, shrimp, and fish tacos. not once have i left dissatisfied or disappointed. i grew up in san jose & have spent some time in mexico city, so i think it's reasonable to say i know what good mexican food tastes like, and this place absolutely satisfies in that regard. not to mention, the prices are very reasonable for how good the food is. on top of the delicious food & good service, it's also a family-owned business, which i always prefer to support rather than giving my money to a faceless chain or corporate establishment (sorry del taco, it's not you, it's me). anyway i give this place a 5/5; i'm very fortunate to have this hidden gem of a restaurant literally right outside my apt complex. read more

4/5 food 3.5/5 service 4/5 overall value of dollar spend 4/5 ambiance (patio) A group of friends chose this restaurant due to its good reviews and proximity to the state capital. Not pictured were tacos, shrimp quesadillas and everyone in our group was happy with the food quality. The service was good and complimentary hibiscus drink refill was a welcome surprise. We liked this restaurant location within the community. Service was friendly and pleasant. I would recommend if in the area to patronize. read more

I need to talk about how it.. how is this place not more popular? Did I stumble into a secret hidden gem or what?? OMG Cocina is nestled in the middle of an apartment complex! It was so cute walking up to it and seeing that there are also other businesses in this bottom retail space. We came in for lunch and devoured our foood and drinks. Everyone was so nice and there was a decent amount of seating! We ordered guacamole as an appetizer, chicken tacos and enchiladas. The enchiladas were my favorite I over that I got a difference sauce for each one (red, green and mole) I'll be seeing more of this place! read more

Decided to try this place for Cinco de Mayo. Service was friendly and location was close to work, but sadly, that's all the compliments I can give. I ordered the chicken enchilada plate that comes with a side of rice. I modified the order to not include cilantro and no sour cream. That means no salsa and I got all red sauce and no green sauce since the green sauce is blended with cilantro. The red sauce tasted very tomato bisque-like. It would have been good with a grilled cheese sandwich. Like another reviewer noted, the chicken in the enchilada comes as little diced cubes and was overcooked and dry. My bad for expecting shredded chicken. Others in my party also noted lack of flavor in their chicken burrito and shrimp burrito and weak drinks (margaritas). We tried to like this place, but it missed the mark. read more

The chicken taco salad was made with tiny diced chicken. Taco Bell kind of quality. Meh I asked for carbonated water and they offered me tap, then I pointed right behind her at it. No salsa offered, when I asked they said "what kind"? I said "red" not having any idea what they had. Meh I spent about $18 w the tip. This is a Mexican restaurant? No bueno. Nice music tho. read more

Superb Mexican restaurant in downtown Sacramento across from the CNRA. In the area for a conference, I had parked all day at the multistory parking lot nearby. I decided to get an early dinner before driving back to the Bay Area. Very happy I did. There was no line when I got there a few minutes after 5. I ordered three tacos - al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas - as I wanted something light, and was pleasantly surprised that it only cost $6!!! I sat at an indoor table instead of at the counter or outdoors (it was chilly), relaxing after a long day, eagerly waiting for my meal. I people watched as I waited, and waited, and waited some more. There was a boisterous 20-person office party seated outside, another 6 person ladies-only group, plus a couple of to-go customers ahead of me. Nevertheless, I didn't expect it to take almost an hour to be served! When the food did arrive, I was irritable and famished. But all was forgiven the moment I bit into my first taco - the al pastor. OMG. It was a taste of taco heaven!!! I dispatched it quickly, and then dug into the carne asada and carnitas tacos. They were also superb. Complex flavors, just the right proportion of meat to veggies, with a deliciously tangy sauce! I will be certainly be back for more OMG Cocina deliciousness next time I'm in Sactown! read more

Service was good. Ambiance poor, dining room had motion sensor lights and being we were only ones in dining the lightened up turning off while eating. The soft drink machine was not working properly. Ordered the quac and chips. Quac was bland. Also had their cheese enchiladas absolutely nothing to write home ability. As convenient of a location we will not go back. Save your $. read more

Conventiently placed near our office in downtown. Food is delicious, but amount of food is not that much, especially for the price. However, can't complain in this economy lol. Overally highly recommend this place for a quick and nearby stop for lunch in downtown area read more

First time checking out OMG Cocina and it did not disappoint! I ordered the chicken taco plate and was shocked with how much food came out for $15, it was quite the feast and absolutely delicious!

My coworkers took me to this place yesterday. It's a hidden gem in the middle of apartments. I would have never known it was there. I ordered the shrimp burrito with refried beans instead of black beans. It was divine! Orders came out quickly. Highly recommend! Can't wait to return. read more

Came here right before Sacramento Pride and we're so glad we did. It's a small cafe (with ample outdoor seating) and a great Mexican menu. Family-owned and the person serving us was super friendly and helpful. There were six of us meeting for dinner and everyone enjoyed it... soup, burritos, nachos, veggie tacos. Everything was perfect. read more

This Instagram ready minority family owned place just turned one on 12/26/23. I do have to admit it is a little hidden from the street. There is public parking all around, don't forget to pay on the app or at the kiosk. Our server was so friendly and was the son of one of the owners. He and his mother are so proud of their place. The verdes and Rojas sauce for the chilaquiles are made in house. I found my verdes chilaquiles was excellent! The sauce was flavorful, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the potatoes were spiced nicely. The large plate was hard to finish but I tried! The pozole was perfect on this rainy day, it was generous in the ingredients. The cheese dip with the chips was ok, not spicy so I would suggest adding chorizo or jalapeño. They have a beer and wine license so they serve micheladas rimmed with tajin, yum! I had the pineapple cucumber Agua Fresca was delicious. We hope to return and give this family more business. read more

Green chicken pozole Green pozole is quite rare in Sacramento, so I wanted to try it. It's not worth it. The broth had no flavor; I didn't taste the tomatillo, chilis, or chicken broth. There are no complex and strong flavors that pozole is known for. The chicken and broth taste like they weren't stewed together but cooked separately. The chicken tasted pre-cooked, and then broth was added when served. Adding the oregano, cabbage, lime, and reddish did not help it. There were barely any hominy: one every 3rd bite. The portion size is quite small as well for $15. Usually, it fills up 2 people, but it is only enough for 1 person. Al Pastor Taco You can taste the quality of the pastor, but it just didn't have enough oil or spices. It was alright. read more

I visited this restaurant on a Monday evening. It was not busy and is located in a living complex. The staff was inconsistent with service. The waitress who initially assisted provided my table with the happy hour menu and the regular menu. The waiter who took our order did not want to honor the happy hour menu stating that it is no longer happy hour. After checking in with another staff, they honored any orders from the happy hour menu. The water needed to be filtered better. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. The food was just okay. I tried the street tacos, guacamole with chips, and nachos with chicken. The street tacos had an ample amount of meat, but was lacking in seasoning and flavor. There was just a small dollop of a a red sauce. The asada was too chewy. The tacos came with a wedge of lime and two thin slices of radish. It could use avocado sauce and more cilantro. The guacamole needed more salt. The chicken nachos were decent. read more

This spot is super convenient for state workers or anyone working in downtown Sacramento. The staff is very friendly, and what makes it even better is that it's family-owned. It's a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My favorites are the enchiladas--which come with three different sauce options--and the steak breakfast burrito. Both are always delicious. read more

A convenient location for those working in the downtown area, but the food is nothing really special. The carne asada felt like it was boiled and not grilled. Portions are just standard and prices are typical downtown pricing - no deals here. read more

If you live or work downtown this is a must try! Great food & the service is extremely nice! Beautiful outdoor patio.

Good food, fresh taste no excess oils and have a decent selection. Prices and location is what won the group over. Food came out fast

i stopped by for some incredible mexican food and loved how vibrant the whole place felt, the tacos were packed with fresh flavor, the drinks were perfectly mixed, and the energetic downtown vibe made it such a fun spot to hang out with friends read more

Loved the service and loved the food. I had walked passed the day before and the smells coming from the kitchen made me come back the next day and order. I had a carnitas burrito and it was so very good as were their sides and chips. I had the pineapple cucumber aqua fresca and it was so so good. It is tucked away but worth seeking out. read more

We came here for my son's UC Davis graduation celebration. I had called a couple weeks ahead to reserve a table for 14, but we had to add a couple people last minute and they were super kind about it. We ended up getting there way early but again they were really nice and said we could just take the big table outside whenever we wanted. It was perfect! The food was delicious as were the drinks, and it worked in our favor that we had to order at the counter and they brought it to us because we were all able to pay for our respective families without having to split a tab and we could just order as people got there. They brought my son a congratulations churro which was super sweet. It is a small-ish, family owned place and I loved the vibe. They were so helpful and just thoughtful and even though it was super busy you could tell they were all working hard to get the orders out in a timely manner. Thank you Apollo and Sarahi for making this day amazing for me and my family!! read more

I ordered takeout from this spot on a Thursday for lunch and the environment is live and the energy is really uplifting right when you walk in, it's creative and clean. Staff are nice and attentive, welcoming me right away. I tried 2 mole enchiladas and 1 red salsa enchilada plate, the flavors were good and the portion size was okay, but not filling. We also tried the taco plate, we like how they pineapple pieces inside, it adds good flavor. I would say this place is really pricey for the quality and portion size of the plates- it was over $40 for 2 plates and an horchata. read more

OMG Cocina offers a small and simple menu that works for the fast pace downtown area. With the large amount of people in a rush, they were serving out plates fast and providing excellent customer service. I was a little disappointed with the portion sizes as I personally don't see the justification in the prices. My lunch came out to over $60 with what is shown and two Agua frescas. I'd recommend going a little further to Cilantro's where the portions are bigger, the prices are cheaper, and you can get complementary chips and salsa. It was nice to try this place since it's so close to work, but will unfortunately not come back. read more

firstly, the radio was sooo loud it was hard to have a conversation. I asked them to turn it down since we were the only people there., nope didn't happen! my husband wanted fajitas with steak...it was 5:00 and they had no steak. I had a quesadilla With steak (was told it's a different cut)...they were right...it was tiny pieces so tough and well done hard to chew. they said it came with guacamole...a teaspoon full and a very tiny container of salsa. And No chips! No real service! Order at counter. Disappointed read more

The food was just awful. The champagne i got was flat and old. The rice was over cooked. The chicken and shrimp were questionable

Such a wonderful place, with great food and really kind employees! I go here quite often, and it's so welcoming every time! The fish and shrimp tacos are some of the best I've ever had, so I would definitely recommend going here! read more

This is a nice restaurant and close to work however, they are not very generous with the complimentary chips and salsa for to go orders. I spend my last $9.00 looking for a cheap dinner and chose a kids meal. It did not come with chips and salsa and the cashier said it was extra and I told her I already put my remaining money into the tip jar. That was rather unexpected. They don't give you many chips to begin with so I did not understand why they don't make exceptions. Other mexican food restaurants always give you complimentary chips and salsa whether you eat in or out. The only good part of this experience is the food was very good. read more

So a friend and I came here for dinner tonight. I had the chicken salad with dressing on the side. My friend had two tacos- chicken and asada. We also had chips and guacamole. My salad was to die for. My friend felt like her tacos were missing something the guacamole was good and the chips were homemade. The service was really good and ambiance is chill. This use to be an Italian restaurant and this has been open for 4 months. Try them out read more
