    2 Que-kas with rice and beans
    Candi O.

    I came here on the 4th of July for lunch. There were 3 of us. The place is right on Freeport Blvd (next to Taco Bell. The staff was friendly and our order was taken promptly. The seating (both booths and tables) is kind of old. The World Cup soccer game was on the TV. The food is on point and the portions are very generous. Quite a few people came in to pick up to-go orders.

    Wow! We enjoyed a delicious all you can eat brunch for my Hubby's birthday. Service and food is great. I chose this place since my Husband loves Mexican food. Whaat better than to have an all you can eat. To our surprise it was delicious and such an enjoyable experience. Made to order: chilaquiles, eggs, pancakes, omelettes and freshly heated tortillas of your choice. The bottomless mimosas were quickly refilled and service was excellent. We enjoyed every dish we selected. The selections were great. From soups, ceviches, birria and so much more. I almost don't want to post this review to keep this place a secret, but need to share. Such a great find for delicious food. Come check this place out for yourself. It is such a great experience and well worth the price! The restaurant can accommodate large crowds and has plenty of seating. We are content and glad we found this place. Thanks Yelpers!

    2 crispy chicken taco combo
    Shelly S.

    Decided I deserved a treat and ordered from one of my faves. Ordered my usual 2 crispy chicken combo and it didn't disappoint. When I placed my order was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. Showed up in 15 and ready to go. Definitely recommend!

    Great local fast food spot. My family and I have been coming here for the past two years, and it's consistently excellent. The service is always top notch, and the food is delicious every time. Highly recommend.

    The food here is really good. I love the artwork on the walls. Very cozy. You can see right in the kitchen. It's a very small run business

    Chips and Salsa
    Helen N.

    No watered-down salsa, no cold tortillas. Just straight-up flavor done right. Finding a reliable Mexican spot in Sacramento isn't easy, but this place proves itself every time. I've been coming on and off for about nine years, and it's always fresh, made-to-order, and consistent. They kick things off with chips and salsa, and let me tell you-this isn't watered down or that basic "Chipotle style" pico de gallo. It's hearty, homemade, and carries a balanced kick. Enough spice to wake you up, but not enough to scare you off. I started with a mini street taco, and the tortillas come out warm-not cold, not lazy. That detail alone tells you the kitchen cares. Pair that texture with tender, well seasoned asada, and you've got a taco that tastes like it came straight out of someone's home kitchen. The enchiladas michoacanas sealed the deal. The tortillas soak up their bold house sauce, while the cheese, crema, pickled jalapeños, and fresh greens balance everything out. It's flavorful, clean, and plated with pride. Service? Solid. They check in without hovering or pushing, and it feels genuine. Very homie and bit of old and new kind of vibe inside. Add in plenty of parking and a spotless restaurant. Reliable, flavorful, and made with care. Prices? They've definitely crept up over the years, and you'll feel it in your bill. But honestly-in this economy, with costs rising across the board-you can also see why. At least here, you're paying for food that actually tastes like it's worth the price.

    Pozole
    Cresentia G.

    The service was amazing. The young lady that greeted us was so welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was clean and I loved the atmosphere. Hubby and I came for the brunch. The food was just ok. The food looked like it had been sitting awhile. I felt like the food could of been hotter (cooked hot). It was like warm temperature. The tortillas and the fruit were fresh. I loved the pancakes and chili rellenos. The pozole had no flavor but my husband enjoyed the menudo. The birria was dry and potatoes were not cooked all the way. Not sure if I would be back.

    Carne asada plate.

    Service was amazing !! Food was amazing as well. The carne asada was favorable . Ambiance was cool with TVs

    Enchilada Combination Plate
    Tinah Y.

    I can't believe that I have lived in this neighborhood for 33 years and never tried this place!!!! What a great gem!!!! Authentic, delicious, and lots of options!!! Too many options (I'm not complaining), I had a hard time to choose. We settled for enchiladas and the secret family recipe birria. The food was excellent! The portions were huge. If you are not a big eater, one dish can easily be split into two meal. The price was reasonable. This is definitely now my go-to for Mexican food!!! The complimentary chips and salsa were great, although our waitress took them when I was still munching on them, that was a little bit odd. The chips were fresh and most likely homemade. There is a small private parking lot. Inside the restaurant, they have two section for seating. The side that we sat on had comfortable booths. The service was a little bit slow but very friendly.

    Omelet and waffle bar
    Troy N.

    Roberta's, a great traditional Mexican restaurant always, has added an impressive Sat/Sun brunch buffet! A great selection of items, including omelets and chiliquilles made to order. They've expanded into an adjacent space, adding room for this awesome new upgrade. I really loved it, give it a try!

This is kind of in a sketchy part of town, but worth a visit. We started off with a beef and a chicken empanada to share - These were fried and different than the Spanish ones I have had elsewhere. They were so good. I really liked the green salsa that was paired with it. On the recommendation of the waitress, we both got cafe de ariquipes which were coffees with caramel. They were sweet, but not overly so, which is the way I like it. We also got the bandeja paisa plate that was just ok. We felt the meat was on the dry side but the standouts were the plantains. We also got an order of the cheese arepa and asked for more hot sauce... She hooked it up with their homemade salsa which was so good and fresh tasting. That sauce is so good. All in all, a tasty spot. I'd come back to try some other things.

I didn't want to write this review but I had a concern about something about the menu. I ordered the tequenos de pollo as an appetizer and the menu didn't say anything about it having cheese in which was perfect. I got the order and it in fact had cheese. I'm lactose intolerant and really sensitive to dairy so I asked about the cheese being in it. He confirmed it was in there, so I asked if they can just take it back- the waiter said no. I then asked if they can just take it off the bill because I couldn't eat it. He said no to that too. My husband doesn't eat meat and my son is lactose intolerant so it was going to be food wasted and money down the drain. I was pretty shocked because I've never been to a restaurant where they can't reasonable accommodate the guest. I then ordered my entree and the chicken was very dry and overcooked. I was not satisfied but I knew they wouldn't let me swap it for something else. Unfortunately I'm not going to rush to come back. The waiter was friendly enough but not accommodating. I get nervous when it comes to food allergies because now I know that some restaurants aren't disclosing food allergens which is actually not allowed. There are folks out here with life threatening allergies, so these places need to be careful. I'm glad I'm not one of those people but it's still disappointing.

The birria was so damn good. Carnitas was really good too, the meat was a bit hard at times. I came with a friend and after we ordered there was an almost 30 minute wait. I was getting a bit restless but the place was busy and the food is made fresh. We were also served tortilla chips with frijoles as a sort of appetizer while we waited. They serve beer here as well. Not the biggest restaurant but the server was nice and friendly. Restaurant clean as well. Would definitely be worth visiting again.

    The Spot That Made Me Fall in Love with Pupusas…read more This is the place that made me fall in love with a pupuseria. My wife and I were out one day, decided to try something new, and found this gem up the street from our church. One thing I always look for with cultural cuisine is who's actually eating there. When you walk into a place and see people who grew up in that culture enjoying the food, it tells you everything you need to know about authenticity. This spot checks that box. It feels like the kind of food you'd get at a friend's house, not just something made to look the part. The staff was friendly and personable, which made the experience even better. Now, let me set expectations--this isn't the kind of place where your water glass is getting refilled every five minutes. But you can grab a soda or a horchata and you're good to go. The open kitchen is a big part of the experience. You can see everything being made, and more importantly, you can smell it. You start eating with your nose before the food even hits the table. You take it in with your eyes, and then your taste buds finish the job. I've recommended this place to a few people, and they've gone back again and again. That says a lot. If you like authentic food and want something that feels real--not staged--I think this could easily become one of your new favorite spots.

    Yelp Elite Review: A Taste of Home…read more I'm Puerto Rican and Italian, and I grew up with a Puerto Rican grandmother who owned three Puerto Rican restaurants called the Latin Barn back in the day. So when I tell you I know and LOVE Puerto Rican food, I'm not just talking--I've got childhood credentials! I came here with my oldest son and his wife for her birthday, and then something unexpected happened: I started crying. The flavors, aromas, and atmosphere brought a flood of childhood memories rushing back. Food can do that--and this place absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Puerto Rican Special with shredded pork, arroz con gandules, sweet plantains, and beans. AWESOME! I also tried the empanadas with both chicken and beef, and they were incredible. And portions? Let's just say they apparently believed we were feeding the entire extended family. We were given so much food that I had leftovers for the next day--which meant I got to have an encore performance! The Caribbean atmosphere combined with Ashland's unique vibe creates a warm, welcoming place where people actually seem to enjoy being there. The staff was friendly, helpful, and loved to laugh--which is definitely a Puerto Rican thing to do...right after making sure you have nice shoes. The dessert selection was fantastic, too. From the beef stew to the pork, the rice, the plantains, and everything in between, you are going to fall in love with this food. This is officially my new favorite place. And in the immortal words of General MacArthur: "I SHALL RETURN!" Do yourself a favor and put this place on your must-visit list. Come hungry, bring your appetite, and prepare to leave saying, "I'm Puerto Rican!"

We had a large party and I think the service could have possibly been more attentive, but that's always a hit or miss for a large group. Our waiter was super kind and despite so many of us getting there at different times the spacing between entrees was excellent. I had a pina colada coquito fusion cocktail and it was delicious. My friend tried their take on the espresso martini and it was also balanced really nicely. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it had a good selection! Honorable mention is the patio. I didn't even know they had a patio?? Such colorful outdoor decor paired with plants made me feel like I could spend hours with my friends here. I'd easily see myself going there alone for lunch someday just to relax outside, especially during the summer. Very decent amount of shade as well. Everyone really enjoyed their food and I got the paella again. This time it wasn't mushy rice and packed full of seafood, however the dish holding the food was very shallow and not an enormous portion. I'd think the portion would maybe be split between three people easily? But any large groups would need additional orders. The empanadas were tasty as well and I'm excited to try the different options next time I come. Worth checking out and an amazing food spot for summertime to enjoy outside. Also tip for parking - it isn't too bad if you just go a block further down Broadway heading east. You'll find street spots easily!
