Upon entry, my group and I were warmly welcomed and immediately greeted with chips and salsa (the green salsa is so good!). We came during lunchtime, and the place was very clean with a beautiful and bright traditional design. Given its high ratings, I truly hope this spot continues to gain even more recognition for its delicious food and well-made drinks. Since we were the first customers of the day, we did wait a little while for the food--but it was clear everything was being made fresh. The owner even came out to let us know we could take our time relaxing before heading out, which we definitely appreciated and took advantage of. She also mentioned that past 5pm is karaoke night and that we were more than welcome to come back! Great hospitality and a great experience overall. read more

Located on Stockton Blvd, it's not in the best of areas and parking can be a pain because you have to park on the residential street as I didn't see a dedicated business parking lot. Inside was fairly spacious and decorated nicely. We were the only patrons at 2pm on a Saturday so the bartender told us to sit wherever we'd like. He brought menus and chips and salsa quickly. I opted for the cheese enchiladas with red sauce and my friend got the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. We also had margaritas and the pina colada. My friend was not a fan of her margarita and the pina colada was just meh. The enchiladas were also a bit lacking. Minimal cheese inside and it was even fully melted and they were drowned in red sauce which was pretty salty. Overall, we gave it a shot and it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst. read more

We got the birria tacos and battered fish tacos. The battered fish tacos were yummy! The birria was a bit bland. Margarita was really good. The service was a little slow but when we went they were newly opened so they were working out the logistics. read more

This used to Be The Mighty Kong on Stockton Blvd. They had great muffins! Colonial Heights area. You have to park in the neighborhood which might take awhile to find a spot. Colorful Mexican decor. Had burritos which were a little different than what we are used to. A little bit sweet being Burria but very moist. They give you chips & salsa to start which were quite tasty. Had a couple cold beers with our lunch. No outside dining. They have a small bar in the dining area. Met Gabby, the owner who was friendly as she came up to the table & chatted w/us. Will try the enchiladas next time. read more

I had come with a larger table on a karaoke night before; some of us closer to the wall didn't get more water for the hour plus we were there, the waitress did get in at least 1-2 karaoke sessions though. The flautas tasted fishy like it was fried in the same oil as fish, and it did not come with the guac or sour cream as described in the menu for me or the person next to me, we couldn't easily leave the seats in the back corner and there wasn't anyone to ask to correct the issue unless I had gotten someone to get up to get staff. Maybe the waitress checked in with the table but only the side close to the center of the room. Some of us considered getting more food, drinks, or dessert but we didn't have the opportunity. Some people liked their food and we enjoyed the complimentary chips/salsa. I also liked the inside decor. read more

Excellent food , love the vibe of the place and the staff was very nice ,will be coming again

Yelp and Google stated that this place closes at 9. We came at 8 and weren't able to order because the kitchen was closed.. there were people sitting at the bar that watched us stand at the front upon entering. Then we helped ourselves to a booth, waiting for a server to come up and give us further instructions (to order at the front or where to get a menu). It turned out one of the people at the bar worked there and didn't say anything to us the whole time we were there looking around for a staff member. My husband walked up to ask where we can get a menu just for them to say the kitchen was closed... a whole hour before listed closing..? At the very least they could have gave us a heads up right when we walked in. The only reason I gave the extra star was because the exterior actually looked nice with a big mural so that it was easy to find/park next to. There is street parking but no parking lot and as soon as you walk up it smells very strongly like fish- just a heads up. Most likely won't be coming here again because the staff seemed to no have common courtesy to communicate their closure without us having to find and seek them out and ask for a menu. Also the unpredictability about whether they can even cook the food when they are open. read more

5 stars, no question. I'm a touring musician and it isn't often that I find a restaurant as wonderful as this. The food is pure magic, the chilaquiles were like a warm hug for my soul. This is true abuela cooking, made with love and care. Gabi is absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond, and her warmth was one of a kind. If you live in Sacramento, make this your go to spot, if you're traveling through make sure you go out of your way to get here because it is a must visit. 10/10 will come here ever time I'm in the area. read more

We ordered the pozole, flautas & chilaquiles and a cadillac margarita. There was no grand marnier float on the marg. There was NO seasoning in any of the food, it was all incredibly bland. No salt on the chips or in anything else. Even my wife who likes bland food didn't like anything here. She had 2 bites of the pozole and left it. We also waited over 30 minutes for our food. There were only 4 other people eating in the whole place (now I know why) but our food still took that long. The 2 men who came in way after us had nearly finished their food by the time ours came out. We won't be back. I'm not sure where all these great reviews are from, I assume family & friends bc this place is objectively awful read more

I am ALWAYS passing by the spot and I'm so glad I finally decided to drop in! First off, this is an underrated gem located in the south sac area which is a nice change if aren't a fan of being in midtown/downtown all the time for some drinks and good food! The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was awesome and I loved the art on the walls. I ordered the torta and their house coffee (cafe de la olla). The coffee tasted nostalgic! And they even give you a side of animal crackers! Was definitely a nice change. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Mexican food and drinks. read more

So happy to see more restaurants opening up on a fairly dead stretch of Stockton Blvd. The premise of this restaurant is Sinaloan-Japanese fusion. I'm so excited this is finally open. It's very heavily Sinaloan with a few Japanese elements, primarily as sushi rolls with a lot of cream cheese. We skipped the sushi and ordered more interesting sounding things, like the octopus sriracha tacos, and the tuna tamarind ceviche. My brother wanted the 1lb of carnitas as well. The octopus sriracha and tuna tamarind were very saucy, but flavorful and delicious. The carnitas were DIY tacos--pretty standard. Our waitress was very attentive and came back often to check on us to make sure things were okay. All in all, happy to have this in the neighborhood. I hope they're able to make it last. I'll be coming back to try more things, along with recommending to friends for a visit. read more

I looked up this place when I drove by. I decided to try it out on our soup night because they had pozole on the menu. I called in asked a few questions and read some reviews before making my decision. After I decided on the food I placed the order online and waited to pick up since they are 3 minutes away. When I walked in I noticed people singing karaoke. I thought it was a private event only to find out on Sundays they do Karaoke all day ! It was so nice to see people of all ages singing, dancing and having fun. I met with the bartender to pick up my order. It took longer than expected, said to be ready at 6:35p brought out to me by 6:50p. I am glad I waited patiently because the food ALL of it was so fresh, tasty and you can tell they make everything from scratch. I enjoyed all my food every bite ! I will definitely come back to enjoy this gem. I great addition to our oak park community ! Check them out ! read more

I just left Orale for dinner. The color and decor is the first thing that hits you when you walk in. Very beautiful and authentic feel to it. Hakeem the owner was there and I had him all to myself. Needless to say, service was excellent. I ordered the chicken fllautas meal. It was delicious! Service was really fast and the chips and salsas were excellent as well. Best of luck to you Hakeem, I can tell you're a great guy! Mucho exito! read more

I stumbled onto this establishment and I was very pleased. The food was VERY good. I sat at the bar and my lil sis and I were accommodated by Leo. He made sure that i was taken care of, and was well attended, as did all the other employees of the establishment. The other patrons seemed like they were regulars, so that told me that this place was worthy of return business. Being that I live in the neighborhood, it's easy for me to return, and I will most certainly tell people to go here on Sundays for Leo & Christina!!!! read more

We had a great experience here on Fathers Day! The flautas and fish tacos were absolute standouts. The fish tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We ordered skinny Cadillac margaritas and they were excellent too! Not overly sweet. The house salsa had a little heat, which my husband loved (he's all about the heat). The place is also super family-friendly--when I stepped outside with our baby because he started fussing, the owner kindly invited me back in and told me not to worry. That small gesture meant so much and made us feel truly welcome. Great food, warm hospitality, and a casual, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend! read more

I am so glad that a friend recommended this great spot! As soon as I walked in I knew it would be a hit. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, with cute floral oil cloth tablecloths, vibrant art and nice natural light. I had a delicious mojito (the best I have ever had! The bartender said he liked his more sour than sweet, and it was perfect! Still sweet, but also more complex than your average mojito) and we split the tuna tostada and the traditional nachos with carnitas. The salsa was nice and zippy. I will definitely be back -- for another mojito and to try the torta! read more

I was craving a burrito and been meaning to try this place since it's close by my house. I walked in and went to the bar. There were no other customers. The bartender was friendly. Asked if I needed a menu and then I asked for some recommendations. He did say the birria and torta are popular but I got a chicken burrito instead. The place is decorated nicely and had a good vibe. He gave me water and chips and salsa while waited. Based off the salsa alone I was excited to try and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend this place. This will be my new go to read more

Dirty table when sat down and it was very empty. No host to welcome you when you come in. Didn't take our drink order rather disappeared and showed up later with chips and ok salsa. I personally didn't like the tomatillo salsa it was weird. Ordered the Mongolian octopus tacos and was later told I had to order something different. Would've been nice to know they didn't have it before I ordered. Also why didn't they have it if it's on the menu? Mistakenly ordered terrible fish tacos and they were dry yet soggy at the same time. If it's going to be battered id expect it to be crunchier. Rice and beans okay I guess. They saw me take a picture I think so they brought us free shots to make up for it but I didn't want to drink. For the location being on Stockton blvd, the ambience wasn't run down which is good. I liked the bar but not the restaurant. I also don't like seeing servers having their kids at the table with their iPad like idk it just affects the ambience to have it be a daycare it seems unprofessional to me. read more

Service was amazing. Friendly, personable, knowledgeable. Food was fresh and superbly well made. The twist here is the chef is a trained sushi chef that is doing a Latino inspired seafood and sushi thing and he is doing it well. I tried things on the different occasions and everything ceviche to the chile relleno has been well and above average to the point of some of the best in Sacramento. They have breakfast all day. Menudo and Pozole, tamales and eggs along with a great dinner menu. I recommend this place. Oh the bartender makes amazing drinks with a full bar. Lastly amazing decor with great art on the walls. read more
