    Cold beer and micheladas...
    Roberto V.

    Shrimp tacos the best ones in town... Micheladas and Cocktails... Cold beer everyday... Good for private events.

    Sunday pozole
    Davd W.

    Hole in the wall place but let me tell you the pozole and quea brria tacos are to die for! The hours in the yelp page are wrong. They are open. Best pozole in Sacramento hands down!!! Trust me you must try this spot!!!

    Carne Asada burrito
    KiKi K.

    I thought I would come into a family restaurant with a good vibe but soon as I come in they can't speak English then after picking my food up she says chingue tu madre basically go fuck yourself or fuck ya mother i understood what she said I see that they don't like black people in their establishment I will never come back again that was so rude and said it in front of her children I'm highly offended and hurt because she looked at me like she didn't want me in the restaurant but no worries I won't come back again I'll cook at home next time instead of getting a quick bite to eat the carne asada burrito was chewy and cold fries wasn't done either I see why she said that to me in Spanish yep I won't be back

    Taco de birria
    Junior A.

    The outside doesn't look like much but the inside is better. I walked in with my family on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm. Usually Mexican spots are full on Sundays but this one wasn't, It was empty. For the menu they have a big white board with the items written with marker. They have a printed menu that is used only for dine in. The table only had napkins no salt, pepper, or hot sauces. They do not have a salsa or chip bar unlike many other place. The chips and salsa are sold for $1.99. The chips were pretty good and salsa was okay. I ordered the enchiladas plate. It looked better than it tasted. The enchiladas were a bit cold and the meat had a hard taste to it. The beans were no good as well. The only thing that was okay on the plate was the rice. Apart from that I also ordered the special of the day which was 2 Tacos de Birria for $5 dollars. The birria was really chewy. Usually places that sell birria have a hot sauce that go along with it but not here. The food isn't good and over priced. The server was really helpful and friendly though. An hour later me and the other two in my party had stomach problems. I won't be back.

    1 Shrimp ceviche 1 fish ceviche & a michelada

    This place is a hidden gem. The fish or shrimp cevche tostadas as well as the shrimp cocktail have the most unique spicy flavor I've ever had anywhere else. I recommend you order any of the following for an awesome experience. 1. Ceviche de pescado or camaron. 2. Michelada you can get away with refilling the cup up with a second beer with same great taste. 3. Cocktail de camaron. They all have what has to be their signature spice. You have to try this place out. You won't be dissapointed.

At this point it feels like bait and switch -- why put it on the menu if you never have it? The low rating is mainly for the young lady at the register. She was rude, spent the whole time whispering to a guy who works there and laughing while looking at me. Felt disrespected as a customer. Found Beto's down the street instead. Decent food, decent prices, and they actually serve what's on their menu. Won't be back. 2. Short + Punchy No tripas, lengua, or cabeza. Ever. 4 visits in 7 days. Zero times did they have tripas, lengua, or cabeza. Starting to think the menu is false advertising. Register girl was rude too -- whispering + laughing at me with her coworker/BF the whole time. Beto's down the street has better food, better prices, and no attitude. Go there instead. 3. Balanced but Firm Frustrating experience Food here can be okay when they have it, but the inconsistency is a problem. I came 4 times in one week hoping for tripas, lengua, or cabeza and was told they were out every single time. If you don't carry menu items regularly, take them off the menu. Service also needs work. The teen at the register was whispering to another employee and laughing while taking my order. Made me uncomfortable. Beto's down the street doesn't have these issues -- they stock what they advertise and the service is solid.

It is located at the Northgate area in a shopping plaza so lots of parking spots. Very impressive interior decor! It is very welcoming and visually pleasing! From the ceiling plants and lighting to the wall murals, it feels comfortable and very tidy with lots of dining tables. I ordered for to-go so was actually tempted to stay and eat-in but had to get back to work.

Ordered a few different tacos, tostada and super nachos (with chicken). Their meat was seasoned to perfection. Actual flavors and not just salt. A bit pricey for each taco but the portion of taco is huge and honestly two did the job for me. Give it a try

Each taco had a generous amount of meat, was well-prepared, and tasted fresh. The real game changer, though, was adding the jalapeño cream sauce along with a few salsas from the salsa bar which took the tacos to another level. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars just for that! Also, I'd recommend the cucumber lime agua fresca drink. It tasted refreshing and the perfect amount of each flavor. Their menu has a great variety of options, and I noticed several people ordering the dinner plates, which looked absolutely massive. I also saw them bring out a sizzling hot skillet that I could hear from a few tables down. You definitely get your money's worth here. The service was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast.

They were pretty fat with rice, beans, meat, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. I love that it wasn't oily, so I didn't have to worry about oil dripping down my hand with every bite. The meat was tender but I didn't get much flavor from it. The rice was dry and hard. Hoping that it was a one off night, but the food was just ok for me. I've definitely had better burritos with more flavor. I think I'll just try their tacos next time.
