My family and I checked out Algo Bueno for dinner last night for the first time - it is located off of Northgate Blvd in Natomas! The interior had a large bar area with tvs plus a good amount of seating - for both small and larger parties. I also loved the murals painted on the walls. We sat down and we were given complimentary Chicharrones de Rueda, we also ordered chips and salsa. For our meals, we ordered Mulitas, Street Tacos and a Kids Bean and Cheese Burrito. My husband and I really liked the Mulitas and Street Tacos! We asked for all flavors of salsa too and they were all fire! My husband was a big fan of the pineapple habanero one! Their table hot sauce was super good too! My daughter liked her burrito, but my only complaint was the cheese not being melted inside. Overall, the food was great and staff were friendly, attentive and personable. The guy with the long braids did a great job taking care of our table! We'll definitely be back very soon! Check them out! read more

Came on May 2nd. Not for cinco de Mayo. I had been seeing the fancy adds of all you have and serve on IG. Being a local I was finally able to stop in. Ordered a taco, chips, salsa and guacamole(that was watery) along with a Jamaica with Vodka and a shot of vodka. I requested Titos unfortunately they did not Carry that and was offered a generic brand so I just got the drink. After observing their bar, I noticed they had Kettle One. Why would she not offer me that ? Wouldn't a bartender try/offer something comparable to customers? I would think the upgrade would be a couple more bucks In the business pocket. The last straw was she checked me out without asking if I want anything else.... NOT a good host Or bartender. Guess she had enough of my business, so I took it elsewhere. Good luck! read more

My first visit here was enjoyable. Came in with my wife her daughter and daughter's boyfriend, for a Saturday night dinner. There was a bit of a wait for a table but it was quite busy. A DJ was playing music and was a bit loud for my taste but it was good music. The food arrived and it was tasty fresh and not a long wait considering how busy it was. Seems like a nice family owned effort which as a chef, I like to support more so than corporate dining. The lady owner came by to check on us as we were finishing and introduced herself. Their hard work really shows. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I hope they go far. read more

Came here on their 4 year anniversary, walked in to a Live DJ and friendly vibes. Our table tried the soup flight, Pazole Red, Pazole Green, and Albondigas. All were good. I'm a fan of Albondigas so I would order a bowl next time. The meatballs were so tender. The Crispy Chicken taco was very flavorful. Crispy Carne Asada Crispy taco was good too. The homemade tortillas were delicious! Looking forward to trying different items off the menu. Awesome service! Happy 4 year Anniversary! read more

Right when we walked through the door we were greeted with a huge smile from our waitress. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Many customers came by through out our visit. I understand why there are so many coming through. We ordered the soup fight (Menudo,caldo de Birria and another soup) All very delicious. My husband ordered the aguas chilies which has can be ordered with four different aguas . We ordered the mango habanero (alittle spicey,but worth it) my son had the fries w chicken. We all had a few drinks a mango margarita and I had the Michelada. DELICIOUS !!! Yes, I would come back this time with the rest of my family so They can try this beautiful delicious food. The bartenders, sweet and funny. read more

I was craving some street tacos, so I drove 30 minutes based on a friends recommendation. I tried the Asada, carnitas and adobada each were $3.75. I also had an AB Shrimp taco ($5) and it loaded. Just got done doing an hour of cardio so I ordered 2 more AB shrimp. Overall the street tacos were what I was craving, simple onions and cilantro with a squeeze of lime. The AB shrimp came with guacamole, onions, cilantro, radish and special sauce. I highly recommend the mango salsa for any shrimp or fish taco. Solid 4 stars!!!! read more

We went here on March 1st for dinner around 7:00 p.m. ish. It was a bit busy when we got there. There were at least six other table seated with at least four people on each table and as we got seated ourselves you could tell that the restaurant was preparing for a bigger party to come in because they were putting three tables together. It took a few minutes for them to give us menus as they were trying to again set up for the bigger party. The waitress that came to take our order was very polite and nice and did apologize for the wait. We asked some questions about the menu regarding some of the specials and ended up choosing to do some a la carte items and one plate. I will say I thought about getting a margarita and I wanted a specific tequila used. The waitress did explain to me that it would be an additional $5 for the single shot which means that the margarita would have been $17. I did choose not to get that after all. The items we chose were two tostadas one that was a seafood mix of fish and shrimp. The other one was a shrimp and mango tostada. The other item we got was a birria tacos plate. For all items they were good but not astounding. I say that because the mixed tostada was missing flavor. I could taste a hint of the citrus that was used but not enough and that was after I added the additional little pieces that were given to me. The mango shrimp Posada was definitely better because the mango sweetness did give it a nice taste and it did need a little bit more spice to it not spiciness but just flavor it felt like I could mainly taste mango. And this next statement applies to all three items. The addition of salt to all the different pieces was necessary in order to give it flavor that was cohesive. Especially in the consummate that was given to dip the birria tacos in. Once you added salt it definitely had more flavor. The reason this was a three and not a four is that the big call out was the rice was a little hard. I couldn't tell if it had been sitting out for a while or had been undercooked but definitely had a little bit of a bite to it that we did not expect. Also the beans had a unique flavor that we couldn't pinpoint. Both those sides were left on the plate and not really touched. Overall the place is definitely popular, are waitress was very nice and polite, and the food was generally okay but definitely needed more seasoning and we were a bit confused with the quality of the sides. read more

Tons of parking behind the restaurant. Cute little entrance with garden walks but the bench is hard so be careful when you sit and are expecting the cushion to do something. There is a very long bar with 3 big screens playing your favorite sports. There's about 290 marble top tables inside. We were seated almost immediately on a Sunday afternoon. They serve wagon wheel shaped puffed floor chicharones with Tapatio. Here's what we ordered: Surf & Turf taco Plate - 9 - Taco was amazing as well as the ranch/refried beans but the rice was a little dry and meh. Crunchy chicken taco - 8 - Chicken was super flavorful but the burned tortilla flavor dominated the flavor profile I'd try this again as a street taco AB Shrimp Taco - 9 - A little spicier than the breaded shrimp taco but a touch too simple to be perfect (maybe add cabbage?) Quesa Birria Taco - 8 - Good meat flavor, could use cilantro and onions to add on. Once again the burnt tortilla flavor ruins the finish on this bite. Breaded Shrimp Taco - 10 - Light crunch, lots of cabbage and sauce make this a hit Mulita de Adobada - 10 - Boldlavor and crunchy got texture all in one!!! Great taco spot if you're in the area, worth the drive for the mulita, surf and turf as well as the breaded shrimp taco A definite keeper in my elite taco list! read more

If you like soup definitely come out here to sample all their offerings. Let me break down everything we sampled and how it all faired. Saw this on a feed on IG and since I got some family that lives out here I figured sure why not drive out 2hrs to sample this spot. All I can say is that this spot is legit. Upon sitting down you get a quick snack of deep fried circle looking chips, hella oily but also good Daughter ordered quesadilla with side of fries all she stated was it was cheesy ( that means she like it ) Son ordered 3 different tacos Asada - safe and delicious choice Birria - heavy and flavorful Their version of al pastor - extra flavorful, extra delicious Wife sampled the soup flight 3 soups Al bondigas - meatball soup - flavorful, almost as good as her moms??? Carne en jugo - steak soup meant to get you better from a cold, heavy soup as in thick soup Lentejas - lentil soup - light be very flavorful Myself also the flight of soups Menudo - hella tripe in this soup, to me it was perfect get this if you like tripe Pollo verde - flavorful but not my favorite Carne en jugo - the soup base again was really heavy, chunks of steak and a slight kick Fish taco - well worth ordering, crunch on every bite, all veggies super fresh order this Side of guac and chips - i think we should have not ordered this cause everything super filling Horchata - standard pipping cold Cucumber lemonade - refreshing and made just right Michelada - large of course with modelo especiale, refreshing and filling Definitely come here to sample their soups and all their other offerings Food ***** everything sampled was delicious Price $$ Ambiance ***** large establishment, clean, decorative Service ***** helpful, friendly read more

Where do I start for Algo Bueno?? This place is amazing. First you walk in and the decor is awesome and atmosphere is lively, there's lots of seating as well. The staff was very very welcoming, nice, and super helpful! They have a few TV screens inside and one of them was showing a very well produced promo video for all that the restaurant offers - that was really cool to see! So my husband asked for a mezcal and like pineapple juice or something and they amused him by making him one - he loved it. The rest of us ordered drinks and they were so good! We honestly went there because I saw on Instagram they offer SOUP FLIGHTS, yes flights of soup! I love soup. My mother-in-law was visiting from rural North Carolina (a CA native) and all she wanted was pazole, Algo Bueno delivered! Like seriously she came to visit and this was her only request. We'll be back for sure! read more

I've been looking for good Camarones a la Diabla in sac and haven't been able to find a place that I really like. Decided to try this place since it's down the street from my parents and I think I might just have found it. Most places that I've tried were never spicy enough but this place was perfect. This was only the 2nd time I've been here and I'm surprised they remembered us. I also really like their menudo. Super clean and flavor was all there. They also have a full bar which was a plus. The waitress was so sweet. She gave my toddler a free cookie. Definitely check them out if you're looking for some spicy food! read more

Food was so good we had to come back literally 4 days later. Yes, we came here because of IG/tiktok from an influencer. Super easy to find the restaurant and had ample parking in their lot. We came here during dinner rush on Friday and it was busy with what seemed like a party, a large group at another table and other groups. There seemed to only be one server during this rush and she was sweet and got us everything we needed. It took a minute for her to get to us after we were seated but we understood it was busy. Only downside with the service was that we had no idea on how we close out. The server brought our check over and when my bf and I were done eating we were so confused on what we had to do in order to pay. So if you end up in the same predicament just go up to the register to close out. Food: Specifically the SOUP FLIGHTS were amazing. It's truly one of kind around town and perfect for someone like me who can be so indecisive. POZOLE the red or green are so good we have been telling all our friends about this place and the soup. read more

From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel genuinely welcome. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and created such a warm, inviting atmosphere -- the kind that makes you want to stay awhile. The soup flights were amazing! Perfect for when you can't decide -- a little bit of everything is always the best way to go. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. And let's talk about the blended watermelon margaritas -- they truly topped it all. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the perfect complement to an already incredible meal. Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding hospitality and welcoming ambiance. You can genuinely feel the care they put into both the food and the guests. We will absolutely be back!

Mother's Day visit after church was great. Service was really nice. Each server was very polite asking if we needed anything else we were a party over six and you would think it was a small party because nothing was slow or took too long. However, the food was amazing if you haven't had the green posole ever in your life or you've had it before and you want good kind please please try here. I'm very picky. This was amazing. This is a very small order that I got just because I don't eat a whole lot, but as you'll see in the pictures, the thought that was ordered also the Birria Ramen, Beans, tacos etc. I was surprised it wasn't as packed, which was really nice, but it became packed afterwards. It was still Great. Lots of open space . When you walk in, there's a spot for you to go ahead and take a photo that was really nice because our photos at the church did not come out as great. The lighting wasn't good so it was really nice to actually have some good photos on Mother's Day. Sidenote, it says for a party of six there is a 18% gratuity that is automatically added. They did not do that to us, which was nice because we ended up being able to tip more but please keep that in mind in case you have a big party. There are signs so we saw it ahead of time we had no problem . I've been wanting to try it here. I seen other people that had michiladas and other drinks and they looked amazing. Prices are great Lots of parking on site Lots of options. We will be back read more

Greeted upon arrival on an early afternoon. Music was a bit loud for my liking. Waitress was friendly & brought pinwheel chips to the table. Ordered the soup flight (menudo, pozole rojo, albondigas). The menudo was a little salty but hearty! The pozole rojo was hearty & flavorful! I think my fav has to be the albondigas - my 1st time having it but not my last! read more

Delicious meal and great experience! She ordered the soup flight and enjoyed the green pozole and red pozole. I liked both too but I liked the birria more. They give you plenty of onions, cilantro, limes and tostadas for the soups. I ordered the green enchiladas but got enchiladas rojas and I'm glad I did because the sauce was one of the best I've had in a long time. Full bar, and they had a soccer game on. Plenty of tables to space out. Despite the mistake, excellent service all around. The waitress offered to remake my plate but the red sauce was that good that I held onto it! read more

I saw an instagram about their Soup Flight and I had to try it. Came in this morning with my wife and saw the Chalkboard with a list of Soups on it. I was very pleased to see that I was able to choose and wasn't limited to something I wasn't really wanting. I chose the Menudo,Pozole, and Albondigas. My wife had the Pozole, Albondigas, and Carne en Jugo. They came with all the Fixins and three sides of salsa's. We also had a choice of Flour or tostada tortillas. We chose the flour. We were thinking about ordering a side torta because we thought it may not be filling. I'm glad we didn't because the serving size was perfect! The flight was extremely delicious and I would highly recommend the Albondigas, menudo and the Carne en Jugo. They were the best! Our server was Peque and she was so friendly and helpful when ordering. Great service and she seemed eager to make sure we had a nice dining experience. Our experience here was Amazing!

Open late, with happy hour 9pm-closing. Private parking lot wraps around the business. Awesome service. Had a hankering for a burrito and their "Large" was large indeed even by my standards. I was torn between a shrimp and a beef burrito and the waitress made it a "Surf & Turf" burrito instead! Came with rice, beans, but no sour cream or guac. The shrimp was OK (this wasn't the AB Shrimp). J's large super birria burrito (added side of consome) was also great! Complimentary chicharrones chips and salsa -- the mango habanero was sweet but deadly. The red was also hot, the green a milder tomatillo. We also ordered a side of freshly fried tortilla chips and seasoned fries (was it tajin?). I also got a medium Horchata (non-alcoholic), although they did say they had a version with Hennesy and caramel. A few other tables ordered Micheladas/CoronaRitas and pina coladas. The bar was lively with music and sports/shows on the TVs. In hindsight, I may get a regular-sized burrito, burrito bowl, or tacos next time. Another new item I saw was a soup flight, neat! They have pozole, birria ramen, and maybe a tortilla soup? read more

Parking lot is a tad small but inside is spacious. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server was kind enough to take his time answering my husband's questions about a few items on the menu, which was appreciated. I also liked that they served Doritos (churros, pinwheels or whatever you call them) instead of chips and salsa. We did have to ask for limes and hot sauce for them which I'd think would have been a given for each customer. We both opted to get the camarones a la kora and it was bomb. Perfect blend of lime and spice. I found out after I could have asked for them already peeled, which I'll do for sure next time because I hate peeling shrimp. I also got the pastor taco and it had good flavor, I do wish the pineapple was a little bigger chunks tho. This place is a tad far from home but it's one of the few places that has decent a la kora so we'd come back out here just for that alone, but I did have my eye on a few other items for next time too. read more

The place wasn't busy at all, with just background music playing--nothing special ambiance-wise. Unfortunately, the food was really disappointing. I was starving, but the asada tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp all day. Some pieces were dry and hardened from sitting too long. The only bright spot was the green sauce, which was actually very flavorful. read more

I really wanted to give it a 4 star because I have been recommended by several folks as I love soup, which I did order the soup flight. I had the albondicas, green chicken pozole and carne en su Jugo and the surf and turf taco. The service was okay. It was a Sunday so they were pretty busy. The soups were warm, I wish they were hot being that it is super cold outside. The pozole did not have much hominy. I do recognize they are smaller bowls. But think I think I probably had like 3 of them. The carne soup was pretty good though. The albonicas was okay. I did appreciate the veggies in it. Those were nicely cooked So you why the three stars? Well one big thing is the price on their menu is not what we were charged. For the soup flights it was $3 more. We spoke to the server and they said oh yah, the prices changed. Customers service, they should have at least told us that the price changed right when we submitted the order. I would have still ordered them. I understand that the prices of food has gone up. Just let people know. It was a bit read more

I was excited to try the soup flight! I drove up from Stockton to meet up with my amiga. We both got the same soup flight which was carne en su jugo, chicken pozole and albondigas. We ordered surf and turf tacos as well. Overall the soups are tasty, but we were served at least ten if not 15 minutes apart and we ordered the same exact thing! My soups were all at different temperatures, with one of them tasting almost cold... it was VERY lukewarm. We did have some great pinwheels to enjoy during our wait but sheez! Then the taco.... well I could taste no surf with the turf. It was tasty but where they hid the shrimp... I couldn't tell. I should have taken a picture but believe me they can do better. Then we didn't ask for an itemized check. Please review your check! I had overheard another table telling someone about a $3 overcharge. I should have been nosier. What we found out was that they charged us $3 more for each soup flight than what is advertised on their menu. The waitress apologized and said they will change the menus "soon". She knew of the error but didn't bring an itemized check and didn't say anything until after my friend paid. I know it was just $6 but ... if you know it's an issue (that was what the other table was warning the others about I bet) then why wasn't anything said? The wait, the cold soup and the upcharge took a star off. The flavors were great and could have been better. That taco would have tasted great if it had visible shrimp. Maybe next time. read more

After seeing their soup flights advertised on Instagram, my soup loving husband insisted we shoudl check it out for ourselves. We came in around 2:00 pm on a Tuesday, and it was pretty quiet with a few customers dining in the restaurant. We sat down where we wanted and placed our order shortly after. My husband ordered the soup flight and I ordered an AB shrimp taco and a Quesabirria taco. They have tons of soup selections so it was a bit hard to narrow our order down to 3. He ordered Albondigas, pozole, and carne en su jugo and they were all delicious. Carne en su jugo was the most favorful one with a hint of chili. My personal favorite was the Albondigas because it was easy to eat and I love the fluffy meatballs and fresh vegetables. My tacos came on a square plate with plenty of condiments, such as chipolte sauce, lemon/lime wedges, birria broth, and fresh grocamole. It looked really neatly presented and I felt fancy. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and might come back to get TWO soup flights so we can try up to 6 different soups. read more
