Loved my Nube Horchata coffee (basically horchata cold foam and café do olla base)! Service was quick on Saturday morning heading to the farmers market. They offered seating options for both indoor and outdoor. Would love to come to check out their food options.

I really enjoyed the coffee and food at this new eatery downtown. The decor was nostalgia in a way that I got to see a 90s version of what a traditional Mexican home might look like. The owner happened to be there and was very helpful in our drink selection. We got the horchata latte with foam. We also got chilaquiles which was flavorful but we should have added protein like chorizo. I would love to come back as they just opened up the door upper dining area for night time eating and fun.

Best chilaquiles I've had in a long time!! I got the green sauce, and let me tell you...the ratio of asada, eggs, and chips/sauce was perfect. They also serve it with a piece of bread, which was a nice little bonus because who doesn't love extra carbs? My boyfriend got the red sauce version, and it was also so tasty! We came for lunch, and it wasn't too crowded, so we found a table right away. You order first and then grab a table, so the whole process was super quick and easy. I also ordered the hot horchata latte and I would honestly come back just for that! It wasn't overly sweet and had the perfect amount of cinnamon. The ambiance is super homey, literally feels like you're eating at your abuela's house, which is fitting because the restaurant is actually inside a house. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

We love to try chilaquiles from diffente places, these chilaquiles weren't the best we had tried, but they were very good. The service is good, people are very friendly. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the place is very small and you have to wait for availability of tables. The other point is that we had to wait little bit more than 45 minutes to get our food. We noticed that people that ordered after us got their food before us. Food is good we really recommend this places if you want to Try authentic Mexican food.

Great food, fresh and authentic. I loved breakfast tacos. lol We went during a Friday morning so it was easier to find parking and there wasn't a line. It's very cute and cozy. Has indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating has a nice waterfall to listen to while you eat. The table and theme is very traditional. We ordered breakfast tacos abs chilaquiles along with cafe de la Olla. It was perfect. Not too sweet. Didn't add anything to it.

If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere to take you away from the sterile coffee shops and otherwise greatness of life, this place is it. The horchata latte was amazing. Food is great too. Highly recommend!

Horchata Hot chocolate

This place is a hidden gem. Small but cozy. The hot chocolate horchata was amazing and the green chilaquiles was pretty good. I'm going to have to give the red one a try next time. Not too big of a fan of the pastry though. It was a bit dry. I think if I had any of that hot chocolate horchata then it may have been ok. The service was pretty good. Just took a minute for the tables to her cleared. Will def come here again.

This definitely felt like I was taking a step into my abuelita's kitchen. Hearty plates. Chile-forward sauces. Fresh pan mexicano. Chocolate de la abuelita that tastes like nostalgia in a cup. What we ordered Drinks * Licuado de plátano * Café de olla * Chocolate de la abuelita Mains * Salsa-glazed chilaquiles with runny eggs * Pork tamal in red chile * Mollete with chorizo & soft egg * Huevos a la mexicana Dessert * Fresh pan mexicano Traditional, nostalgic, intentional. Every bite tastes like it was made with abuelita-level care. The service was great, they were so nice and recommended the right balance spicy/not spicy. Also on the weekend they serve menudo!

Really loved this spot. The location is nostalgic and beautifully decorated, it truly feels like you're stepping into your abuelita's house in Mexico. Such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They offer Café de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. It is on the sweeter side and pre-made, but still very delicious. I stopped by for a cafecito mid-afternoon and there was plenty of seating with fast service, especially for a Sunday, which was nice. They do offer breakfast items, though I didn't get a chance to try them this time, definitely something to come back for. One thing to note is that the restrooms are shared/connected through the alley with nearby establishments. It would be nice to have an additional restroom, especially during busy times. Overall, I definitely recommend this location. Great spot to grab coffee and then take a walk around the neighborhood afterward.

Cozy, warm, feels like mg abuelas home. I am sooo happy when we went here. My best friends from the bay visited Sac and we all wanted to try Abuelas!! The coffee and the menudo is thhhhe best menudo. We got the pot to share and it just feels like a warm hug. So here is the set up: you order first, order everything you want because they do run out!! Pick a table and enjoy. I will be back for sure!! Weeeeee love it so much.

This was unfortunately a huge letdown for me. I was super excited to try out some Mexican pastries and hot chocolate for the first time. When I came in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me a complimentary coffee and concha. I didn't drink the coffee because it usually makes me jittery, but the concha was a bit lackluster. It was subtle in flavor, but I mostly tasted the powdered sugar (or whatever it was) on the outside. It was also a little dry. I bought one of the pan dulces (ojo de pancha) and a hot chocolate. The pancha was hard as a rock and lacked flavor. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate either. It was less of a chocolate taste and more of the spices they had in it. I was really disappointed with this visit. I had high hopes. I might come back and try their meals, but I'm not sure.

Adorable little spot that o stopped by to grab a coffee. I got the nube d horchata and it was really good. It tasted like actual horchata which when horchata is made into any type of coffee drink can be very hit or miss so I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is adorable and while I didn't have any food this time, I would definitely be back to try.

We stopped in looking for coffee and ordered a cold horchata latte and a hot specialty drink (forgot the name). Unfortunately, neither was what we expected -- the "latte" seemed more like pre- brewed coffee with sweet flavoring instead of a true espresso-based drink. The hot one was overly sweet and we couldn't get through even a third of it. That said, the breakfast dishes coming out of the kitchen looked great, so we need to come back and give the food a try next time. They have cute indoor seating and nice outdoor patio as well. We will come by again and hope to update this review with more stars ! Great to see new fun cafes opening in Sacramento. Friendly service , street parking only .

I just ordered a carnitas burrito from Taqueria La Perla Tapatia, and it was honestly one of the…read moreworst burritos I've had in a long time. The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

Hearty, flavorful, and comforting, just like a good homemade Mexican soup should be. I've also enjoyed their wet burrito smothered in green sauce, a tamale without the red sauce on top, and a side of tamalito, a delicious sweet tamale! The perfect little treat to round out the meal. Everything is packed with flavor and keeps this hungry dino coming back for more! Now, this dino has traveled and experienced Casa Bonita in Colorado, and I'd call El Tapatío Citrus Heights' own little version! It's nowhere near as big or elaborate, but it has that same fun, immersive atmosphere. The colorful Mexican decor gives the place so much character, making you feel like you've been transported straight to Mexico. Pair that with authentic food, and you've got a dining experience that's more than just a meal! Rex Tip: Come hungry on weekend mornings because they offer a Mexican breakfast buffet! There are so many delicious, authentic dishes to choose from, including freshly handmade tortillas! Just be prepared for a line because this place is popular, and for good reason. We've happily waited our turn because the food is absolutely worth it! A little taste of Mexico right here in Citrus Heights that's definitely worth digging into! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

El Tapatio in Citrus Heights is not a bad spot. Place was pretty spacious and wasn't too crowded…read morewhen I went. Got chips and salsa right when I sat down, but it was about 10 minutes before anyone came to take my order. Food came out in about 8 minutes after ordering though. I got the two steak tacos meal which came with refried beans and cilantro rice. The beans were actually a highlight for me, flavorful and piping hot. The tacos were decent overall and the steak itself was definitely the strong point, but the red onions weren't finely chopped and that was throwing me off a little. Overall not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some Mexican food.

The restaurant had great energy and a fun, buzzy atmosphere. The crowd was a lively mix of people from the Capitol, couples enjoying date night and moviegoers grabbing dinner before or after a show.

Unfortunately, the service was lacking during our visit. One of our meals was forgotten and we had to flag down the server to let him know. Our server also wasn't around very often, so it was difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. When we requested a specific number of to-go boxes, we weren't given enough and had to get up and ask for additional boxes ourselves. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but I took away 1 star for the lack of service. The service could definitely use some improvement, especially since it wasn't busy when we went. With more attentive service, this could have been a much better dining experience.
