    The location

    By far my favorite taco spot in Sacramento! I've been coming here quite often since we discovered this gem. The service is consistently amazing and the owner is always so attentive! They greet you with some Agua fresca of the day and make you feel so welcomed. The most important thing is the food.... it's consistently delicious! Don't sleep on the orange habanero sauce (warning it has a great kick to it). Highly recommend and will continue to be a customer.

Our first impression was a cool, small, and family owned business, plus the owner was very nice and helpful. We got a few things to try, and we were not disappointed with any of it. We got a torta, burrito, papusa, tamale, and a churro to try. The torta was super good, the al pastor was seasoned well and super juicy, definitely recommend them if you like tortas. The burrito was good, and it was super filled and super large. Definitely recommend getting a burrito if you're a hungry lad. The papusa was one of the best papusas I've had around this area, super flavorful with a slightly crispy outside. It also had an insane cheese pull, definitely recommend trying one of these. Lastly the tamale was amazing, it was packed with flavor and one of the better tamales I've had in a long time because it was actually moist and not dry and overcooked. Another big recommendation from me. Overall if you're in the mood for some Mexican food please go here and support an amazing local business. Tamales and Papusas are a super recommended!

Food was great, service was attentive despite being busy on a Sunday afternoon.

We had pitchers of margaritas for the table, and I found that they were watery. I did not enjoy mine, so I stuck with water. My water glass was full the whole time, so I was grateful for that. I ordered the chicken fajitas. The chicken was prepared and seasoned perfectly. It was really good. My platter had mostly onions and a few peppers, so that was disappointing. I was missing the zucchini and guacamole; I think that would have added to the overall flavor. The corn tortillas were stale, so that was yuck. I have read that they are homemade (?) If they were homemade, ours were made the day before. They were definitely not fresh. People in our group ordered all kinds of entrees, including tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, and seemed to enjoy everything. Some enjoyed the fried ice cream and flan for dessert, too. Again, this is a great place for a group. If you are looking for good food, I might keep looking.

    We went back to Jalisco on a taco Tuesday. Again the place was super clean…read more We ordered 4 tacos - grilled fish, al Pastor, grilled chicken, and Barbacoa. Everything was really good to eat. Very tasty. We especially like the grilled fish and the grilled chicken. An addition to the tacos we also had the Mexican street corn appetizer - wonderful.

From the outside it just looks like a little place in a rundown strip mall. To be honest, we almost didn't go in but we were starving. Then we looked it up on Yelp and saw good reviews so we decided to give it a try. This restaurant is so clean, from the dining area to the kitchen (you can see the cooking area). There's tables and chairs for dine in, and also seemed to be a popular place for takeout. I had a burrito, my table mates had street tacos. Everything was so tasty! Service was phenomenal. The young man that took care of us was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. He definitely made it a great experience, on top of the delicious food. What a fantastic find, we will definitely be back!

I got to try out there Blackberry mojito which was really refreshing and I do love the fresh homemade BlackBerry concentrate. . I also really like their mangonada which is a blended-up drink and I love the fresh mangoes in it. . I started off with their brriria tacos which had nice chunks of beef and a really nice sauce to dip in it as well follow along with cilantro and onions for the topping. . I really like their fish and shrimp ceviche which was really refreshing and it was a big platter and it is great for sharing. . We also got to sample the enchilada three flavors with a mole which was on a sweeter side. Also we got a red and green sauce enchilada. For the proteins we got one cheese and one chicken and one spicy pork. The protein ones was really good even the cheese one was cheesy as well. . I really like their fish taco and shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was actually grilled to Perfection and has really nice top shredded lettuce and cheese. The fish taco was grilled and it was good as well and I like how it was fresh. . They also have cilantro and lime rice and it was very zesty flavorful. We also started off with some kind of asada fries and it has a really nice cheesy pull and toppings on top. . For the dessert we had churro and ice cream with lots of whipped cream and sprinkles. I really like the churro because in the middle it was filled with some cinnamon cream and it was really good. . Overall the experience was really great and we love the service because it was really friendly and quick on their feet with refilling our water and bringing our drinks quickly. The Ambiance and the hair is very family and cozy and it is really cute with a nice stage on top. There is cozy Booth where you can just enjoy with your family or your date. For Cinco de Mayo they are doing a big celebration with Mariachi and Aztec dancing as well.

This time started off a little rough, but in the end they made it right, which is why I'm writing this review. I placed a to-go order for steak, shrimp, and chicken fajitas. The order was repeated back to me correctly when I called it in. When I arrived to pick it up, the restaurant was extremely busy and the staff was clearly focused on serving the diners inside first, so my order took about an extra 25 minutes. Not ideal, but understandable given how packed the restaurant was. Unfortunately, when we got home and opened the bag, the fajitas only contained steak -- there was no chicken or shrimp included. I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager to explain what happened. At first there was some back-and-forth about possible solutions, including bringing the food back or only replacing part of the order. My husband had already started eating because he was hungry, so returning the food wasn't really practical. To the manager's credit, she took the situation seriously and actually called the owner at home to explain what had happened. Shortly afterward she called me back and let me know the owner approved remaking the entire order correctly at no additional cost. That completely changed the experience. For me, good customer service isn't about the money -- it's about making things right when a mistake happens. Once they stepped in and corrected the situation, it showed they value their customers and their reputation. Mistakes happen at every restaurant, especially when things are busy. What matters is how a business responds. Cantina Azteca ultimately did the right thing, and because of that we will absolutely continue to come back. Thank you to the manager and owner for making it right.

The atmosphere is vibrant but still comfortable, and the restaurant itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, which immediately sets it apart. The food? Absolutely incredible. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The portions are very generous, you definitely get your money's worth, and then some. Every bite had bold, authentic flavor, and nothing felt rushed or low quality. The salsa bar deserves its own mention, it had everything you could want, from classic options to more unique flavors. But what really stood out were the fried jalapeños and onions... those alone are worth coming back for. Seriously addictive. It's rare to find a place that nails everything, food quality, portion size, cleanliness, and atmosphere, but this place does it effortlessly. Easily a 10/10. I'll definitely be coming back again and again.
