Super conveniently located, from the Capitol as well as several State government buildings. The prices seem rather reasonable for downtown Sacramento. On Fridays, the burrito is $2 off! I also was eyeing the birria ramen. Might want to come back for that. The staff were friendly and attentive. Decor was a very cute Mexican restaurant. The building makes it look like an institution here in Sacramento, amongst all the towering buildings. We ordered two carnitas burritos recommended by the waitress. She said they only have carnitas fresh on Fridays. The burritos were absolutely huge! A solid meal. The green and red sauces accompanied the burritos nicely; I enjoyed both of them. We also ordered chips, salsa, and guacamole which were all fine, nothing stellar. read more

Food is average. The ambiance is nice, a little dark inside. Service is good also, ladies are nice. However, the thing that will keep me from coming back is the patio being for "dine in" only. As a state worker, we're on a time crunch. I placed my order through the phone and decided to eat in the patio. The lady came outside to tell me for the "future" patio is only for dine in but because they werent busy today it was okay.. that was unpleasing. Ill go elsewhere next time, thank you. read more

Not the best Mexican food, not the best food food either though. I got the fish tacos, the fish was so fried and cooked it resembled a thick chip. Super disappointing! But the service was nice and the restaurant was nice and cool. Chips and guac were good, salsa was ok read more

Lunch with a few of my cousins, one recommended we try ThirtyFour Mexican restaurant as I've never been there before. We arrive around 3pm and there is limited meter parking. We see one patron is dining in the patio area. The waitress seats us right away and the inside has a small bar. We order chips & salsa with guacamole for the table. These were delicious and FRESH. Our entrees were large portions for around $20 per person, normal price for a fast food/old school Mexican restaurant. One thing I disliked was the texture and freshness of the shredded chicken on the Cesar salad, I would skip this and order birria tacos instead. Our server did take quite a bit of time to give us our check, but she never gave us our check! She instead told us the total and stood next to us waiting for payment. I think they should print an itemized receipt for all customers as it seems shady when you don't. I'm sure the state workers like the fast service and vibe. read more

Stopped in on a hot day with my girls, and this place absolutely hit the spot! The vegetarian tacos were incredible--packed with flavor and super satisfying. We couldn't get enough of the fresh chips and the guacamole, which was perfectly creamy and seasoned just right. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great little escape from the heat. Definitely a new favorite for fresh, delicious Mexican food! The host was super friendly and greeted us with so much love. read more

Forgot my picture but it's okay. I had the carne asada fries which was good. I added the salsa and jalapeños and it was perfection. The service was good as well. It gets really busy during the lunch rush with all of these state buildings in the area. The chips and salsa were good and it's not complimentary fyi but can get refills. The ambiance is cool typical Mexican restaurant. Will try one day after work to see the difference read more

This restaurant is amazing. We did a last minute dinner with friends and family, about 16 of us and they are so kid friendly, very embarrassed my kids wouldn't sit still. We love this place for lunch at work and now it is added to my list for last minute get togethers for large parties. read more

I really did not want to write this review, as this restaurant is very close to my new office and I had hoped to bring my team here for lunches. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. A coworker and I visited for lunch on Monday and decided to split the carne asada nachos. The dish appeared to have been sitting out for some time. The cheese had completely coagulated and hardened to the point that the chips could not be pulled apart or eaten properly. That said, the flavor of the carne asada itself was delicious. I mentioned the issue to the waitress, and while she apologized, it felt dismissive and as though she did not truly care. When a customer expresses dissatisfaction with their food, a simple apology is not enough -- the response should be an effort to make things right. I hope this was just an isolated experience, as the location and menu have the potential to make this a convenient and enjoyable lunch spot. read more

We made a reservation for two for today at lunch and were the only ones at the restaurant. Towards the middle and end of our visits the restaurant started having more customers. Went for one of the Friday special's which is AYCE for $29 per person. You initially begin with a starter and then receive your first plate of rice, beans, 4 street tacos or 2 mini quesadillas. The meat choices are chicken, asada, birria, chorizo, carnitas, adovada con pina, potatoes & carrot, poblano zucchini and mushroom. After that, you can continue ordering 4 tacos or mini quesadillas along with rice or beans. Soft drinks are included with this deal. The service was pretty quick although it was expected as it wasn't busy. There were multiple servers who assisted and all friendly. Overall, the experience was nice. It was hard to eat additional tacos so I may come here for smaller portions in the future. read more

We decided to come here since we saw a lot of people eating. But it seems like more of a lunch area for the nearby employees. Service was good but food wise this is not it. I liked the bean dip. (Order as an appetizer because it is not given). We ordered the quesadilla birrias and enchiladas. Rating 1/5 for enchiladas. And quesadilla birrias 1.7/5 it's more edible no flavor and not good meat. 0/5 for the consome (broth) no flavor and tastes like salty water. Food was very salty wouldn't recommend or come back. read more

This place is awesome! They have friendly staff and delicious authentic Mexican food :) Very good air conditioning indoors during the summer. $3 chips + salsa with free refills for both. Fresh chunky salsa is a little watery and a bit spicy but tasty. Overall delicious! Super tasty/flavorful Michelada, ($8) one of the best I've tried. The spicy birria ramen was phenomenal! The carne asada torta was a bit dry and the crunchy cheese didn't pair as well but overall tasty. read more

We seen online the endless tacos and margaritas deal they have and we all had to try. When you get somewhere and they are poppin you know it's about time be pretty good! The Christmas decor was very homey and cute too. We all got different taco meats and flavored margaritas to share and they were great. The margaritas were really sweet and definitely got all of us buzzed after the second round. The appetizers and tacos came out quickly and were tasty my only complaint would be the beans ... I wish I would've known they'd be whole beans and not the usual refried beans but the rice was yummy and the salads too! read more

This is a great place to have lunch with coworkers. The food and service are top notch! They have daily specials and everything is reasonably priced. The place is now decorated for Christmas which brings a feeling of happiness and cheerfulness. The burrito was savory and packed with flavors. The quesadilla was cooked to perfection. It even had a small cheese skirt. Shout out to Erica, our server, who is just the friendliest waitress I've met in a long time. read more

Came here to try the new All You Can Eat Mexican food on Fridays only. This was their second week with the new menu but they still pulled through. They were very understaffed so service was slow but that was due to many staff calling out and the remaining servers did their best to keep up despite the influx of people. They were not expecting the crowd so by the time we ordered, they were out of chorizo and rice. Despite the setbacks, the service was great and everyone was very accommodating. So we started with the chips and guacamole and chips and salsa. I preferred the guacamole more as the flavor was perfect and the salsa was slightly spicy but it adds a nice punch. We also got the horchata which we downed and ended up getting a refill. For our first plate, we got the 4 tacos and I have to say the carnitas was my favorite. They only serve carnitas on Fridays too so it's a must try. My bf got the mini quesadillas for his second plate and I wish I had done the same. They were not mini as they were stuffed with meat and the cheese was crispy and added great flavor. Overall, give them a chance and some patience and it will be worth it. read more

Thirtyfour Mexican Cantina - House guacamole and chips - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place just isn't the same as it was when Vallejos was there. Very limited menu, high prices for what you get, extra cost for chips and salsa, while lunch service is good, afternoon service sucks. Their hours are bad too. They close at 6 pm, that's IF they were open to begin with. Many times they close when they are advertised as open. There are way too many good Mexican restaurants with more food, better value than here. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The taco plate I got was so amazing. They have carnitas on Fridays. The rice and beans that usually are an afterthought at most places, here they got it just right! The chips and salsa were also pretty good. Our waitress was so kind and helpful. The only thing I did not care for was the dark and dim lighting inside but that would not stop anyone from coming here, it's just a personal preference. read more

Thirtyfour Cantina is an amazing place to eat. As I walked into the door the staff greeted my whole party. I went with a group of girlfriends for a Galentines outing. There was a mariachi band that was playing and serenading the restaurant. They were fantastic. The wait staff was attentive and amazing at meeting our needs. It was obvious they work as a team because it was busy and any time a waiter/waitress walked by they asked if we needed anything. The food was fire. SO DELICIOUS! We ordered tacos 3 different meats. Carne Asada, Birria, Adovada con Pina. All delicious and tender. We got the house salsa and the guacamole. Rice and beans tasted homemade and authentic. So fresh and tasty. We finished the meal with a churro bundt cake. It was warm delicious and filled with dulce de leche. Sooo good. We will definitely make this a regular stop for our friend group. Looking forward to bringing my husband here for a date night. It is a very welcoming environment with good vibes. read more

Jumped in here for a quick lunch. Place has indoor and outdoor seating. Menu is modest but options looked delicious. I had Birria tacos. My friend had the salad. Service was good, but we were very concerned about getting our food in time to make our meetings. The server was able to expedite our meals and we were able to get on our way relatively quickly. I would definitely recommend this place, but not if you're in a rush. read more

Thirtyfour Mexican Cantina has been my go to for Nachos, Chips and Salsa, and Carne Asada fries. They also got this orange sauce that is pretty fire! On Wednesday and Thursday mornings they even have grab and go breakfasts. The grab and go combo is a small burrito (half of a regular size burrito) and a coffee for $10. The choices of burritos are chorizo or asada with eggs, cheese, and potatoes. This is a very clever idea for some of us state workers that are in a rush in the morning. A majority of the the time I come eat here, my server is Ericka. Ericka is a really great waitress. She is attentive, friendly, funny, and provides excellent service. Also a great person to chat with. All other staff are just as awesome as well. I can never decide if I want nachos or carne fries so I opt for nachos with steak/asada and a side of fries. The guacamole stays green! I don't know what their secret is but I'll have some left over for lunch the next day and my guac doesn't have a spot of brown on it. The chips (crunchy and thin) and salsa are also delicious, the salsa tastes fresh from the garden and has a nice kick to it. The rice is super fluffy and flavorful and beans here are also scrumptious. Keeps me coming back for more. read more

Lovely friendly staff, and great food and drinks. Great location near the Capitol and light rail. We really enjoyed our visit!

They were super super busy this time. I placed an online order at 11:25 for pickup at 12:00. Whom I think was the manager saw I was waiting by the take out sign apologized that the food was taking longer than expected due to the crowds. I got my food at 12:15. I get the same thing every time because their fries are just that good. The employees are always pleasant no matter if they're slammed or not. Appreciate the service this place offers, they do not miss! read more

Went here on a weekday with coworkers on our lunch. Restaurant looks larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Waitress was lovely and willing to explain recommendations and specials. They charge for chips and salsa here... but the salsa was delicious and homemade. It was warm though and could build up for those with low spice tolerance. All four of us ended up ordering the quesabirria tacos because it looked that good. Our fatal flaw was dousing our tacos was the spicy sauces. Next time try the tacos with no sauce. Then add a little bit of spice as you go and dip in the consome. We added spice right off the bat, everywhere. It was too spicy and overpowered the whole taco. Would be willing to try this place again now that I have learned my lesson. read more

We came here for that all you can eat tacos but at $29.99 per person it was a fail... other than having the live mariachi band come and serenade us for my friend's birthday. The tortillas were dry and the tacos were mediocre. Nothing out of the ordinary in flavor or presentation. You only get one order of beans and rice and it's unlimited tacos or quesadillas stuff with a small selection of proteins. It may have been a better choice for us to order from the menu instead of getting the AYCE tacos. read more

I was in town for a couple of days and had some time to sit down for a nice lunch. I wanted something other than a sandwich and I was intrigued by the look and inviting outside seating area of this little hut that was close to where I was. I walked in, and I was instantly glad I did. The atmosphere was friendly and they had Mexican music playing that made the atmosphere friendly and fun. To start, I ordered chips and salsa. I liked the choice between mild and hot salsa. I ordered the mild. I was thrilled when I saw they were both made to order; they were fresh and tasty. I'm a picky eater when it comes to onions and asked they not be put into my enchiladas. The kitchen accommodated me without a problem and enjoyed my lunch. From what I read in other Yelp reviews, the restaurant is new to this space, which gave me important context to the service. It took a little time to seat me and get my drink (water) served. I also was given silverware and napkins right before my main course but after I was enjoying my chips and salsa. I think these issues will be smoothed out as the restaurant gets its legs under it. They are a Pepsi shop so they didn't have Mexican Coca Cola available, which would have went wonderfully with my meal. Prices were reasonable, the food was tasty and the atmosphere was fun. I can't wait to return on my next trip and have dinner when I can enjoy a margarita. I'm sure they are fantastic here! read more
