    Al pastor taco
    Matthew K.

    Second time writing about Yetzi Tacos because, honestly, once wasn't enough--and neither is one visit. This place is still everything I love about great street tacos: bold flavor, no frills, just pure taco joy. I stopped by again last Friday night and couldn't resist filming the scene: the sizzle of meat hitting the flat-top, the rhythmic slice of the trompo, the hum of orders being called out, and a small crowd gathered under the glow of string lights. Everyone was definitely hungry, but no one looked mad about the wait. That's usually a good sign. The chorizo taco is still the undisputed champ. Crispy, juicy, and seasoned so well it makes every other version I've had feel like an afterthought. I also tried the carne asada again and it was tender and rich, with just enough char to give it bite. Pro tip: grab a grilled jalapeño if they have them--they don't mess around with the heat, but it's worth it. Also go for the red salsa if you like a bit of extra heat. Aside from the meat, the topping bar is still one of the best parts. I loaded up with onions, cilantro, and a hit of that red salsa that had me reaching for my horchata drink more than once. Something about choosing your own taco adventure just makes the whole experience feel more personal. It's hard not to root for a place like this: local, consistent, and clearly made with care. If you're lucky enough to catch them on a quieter night, chat with the staff--they're just as warm as the food. Yetzi isn't just a taco stand; it's the kind of spot you brag about discovering first.

    Pop-up taco truck? Open when vampires want to eat (vs. my great-grandmother)? Tasty food? Count me in. Place has tons of authentic meat options, something you don't usually see in Sac. I had 3 different meats my first visit: asada, buche, and tripas/tripitas. The tripas tacos are the best in the greater Sac area. Why: loaded with meat + cooked perfectly (vs. overcooked for genetic weaklings). Flavor will have you reminiscing about your last visit to Mexico. What really sets these guys apart is their salsa. Just 2 buckets. One, a FIERY pure habanero and the other - a mild habanero blend with no heat. Both are DELICIOUS. Ambiance is what it is: it's a taco truck, but they've got 4 bigass picnic tables and good lighting which beat using the back of your car. Tacos came out FAST.

    Best tacos in the area hands down!!! As a fellow born and raised Mexican, it's hard to find good authentic food. Yetzi is now my absolute favorite place in the Sacramento area - I've come 3 times since discovering it 2 weeks ago. The service is good, they're quick, their set up is quite good considering it's a truck in a parking lot. Their salsas are fresh and well kept and the food is absolutely delicious. The plates are also really well served and portions are generous. Have not had a bad item here and will be recommending to everyone I know!

    Open late, good food, big portions. The location on Google maps is incorrect, they have a taco truck close by.

    Pretty solid taco spot. Everything was fresh and delicious. I'd recommend the carne asada potatoes and the al pastor burrito.

    Okay when a Mexican tells you the Mexican food is delicious...you best know it's delicious!!!…read more I bought and enjoyed a crispy taco...I asked for Asada but they made it with carnitas...(but) I didn't complain...It was so delicious!!! I apologize I tore it up with a quickness before I thought of photographing it...come in and try it. It's juicy so eat it first so it will still be crispy. Then I ordered the combo plate with carnitas...oh my, my tummy really enjoyed the whole plate. The carnitas were a little try...I needed some ajus...but once I made my burritos with the homemade flour tortilla, beans, rice, guacamole, jalapeños and salsa...I didn't even notice the dryness. The plate was a (huge plate) of food!!! Very enjoyable!!!! It's ALL a must try!!!! You will not be disappointed!!! I chased all my food with a Pepsi... The taqueria is adorable. And the staff made me feel right at home missing my Mama and Daddy, wonderful Mexican music in the back ground and the smell of food being prepared for us customers. Come on in and give Valencias some business your tummy will be so happy you did!!! So you here!!! As I walk out I may try their Pan Dulce. One for each (cheek) LOL They're bringing out fresh Pan Dulce...today. I have to get some!!!

    It's clean and orderly. Walked in at an early lunch time and tables were being cleaned for a quick…read moreturnover. Chips were the freshest and best tasting I've ever had at a chip/salsa bar. I ordered 2 quesabirria tacos. They were pretty good because they had a good amount of meat inside but, without the additional order of the consume on the side, there wasn't much flavor to it. Also, there wasn't much cheese and the tacos themselves were pretty small. I wish I'd also ordered a carne asada taco so I could have tried that as well. Everyone in the group was satisfied with their food though and the service was friendly and really quick.

    Mighty flavor for the small tacos...they really did a good job packing in all the meat and other…read moregoodies they could without it overwhelming the tortilla. On a Saturday night after 10PM, it was a good meal and more filling than one would imagine for street tacos not sold by a street vendor. Very flavorful for a brick and mortar shop! I have to thank whoever brotha was working that night (had tattoos). The 7-Eleven next door is very rude in terms of who can park near their shop and oddly have been "allowed" by whoever to designate one singular parking spot as their own (with barely visible, small printed white paint on the ground saying "7-11 Only"). As me and my friends had planned to dine-in, the brotha at Nikos came out and asked, seemingly quite flustered, if I could move my car. He was clear it was not him asking, but due to 7-Eleven and also offered a free soda to apologize for any inconvenience as me and my party had then decided to just order take out instead (there was no other parking). As I was about to move my car, one of the workers from 7-Eleven had came outside which, once again, the brotha working at Nikos told him that I was "okay" and was moving my car. Whoever is instructing their 7-Eleven employees to be bouncers of their storefront parking needs to do better...especially when people were parked outside your store eating in their cars saying, "These are the best quesadillas I've ever had." Needless to say, Nikos Tacos=5 Stars 7-Eleven Next Door=1 Star. I'll plan to go back to Nikos if able to in the near future. Especially since it seemed like such great energy on the inside.

    Finally got a chance to try Niko's Tacos! They close on Sunday and Monday so remember that before…read moreyou head over! But when they are open, they open until midnight! Their store is in an unassuming building next to a 7-11 and they are cool with you grabbing a Big Gulp next door to enjoy with your meal. We ordered the shrimp and steak burrito and two street tacos (chicken and steak). At the recommended of the guy at the counter (Niko??) who walked us through the menu, we ordered it with grilled onions. Everything was super fresh, tortillas were soft and the perfect thickness, the burrito came with a slight crisp from the griddle just how I like it, and the proteins were plentiful! Their specialty is their zip taco and I accidentally forgot to order one. The server who brought out our food was kind enough to make us one and allowed us to pay later so we didn't have to wait in line. There was a steady flow of people since we came in at 7:30. I can see why this place is highly rated despite the somewhat hidden location. Great service, fresh food, reasonable prices.

We didn't come there for that and i think it'll be a long time before I go back. I love the food, but allowing these peddlers to annoy and abuse me customers is not okay. The food is grea, the service is goo-- what a sham.
