    Breakfast Burrito
    Karla M.

    Bistro Bravado is quality take-out conveniently located across the street from the Capitol. Somone recommended their breakfast burrito, saying it was in their all-time Top Ten. As a breakfast burrito connoisseur, I had to give it a try. I ordered online, and it was ready for pick-up in 10 minutes. The breakfast burrito had eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, cheese, and fajita veggies in a grilled flour tortilla. It was very good, and well prepared. It rivaled breakfast burritos I've had from good restaurants. What really set it off, is that it was grilled, and served with homemade green salsa. My friend had their grilled cheese, and recommends it as well. Staff was friendly, and they have a nice patio outside with tables, and chairs. The best way I can describe their food is unexpected restaurant quality from a small take-out café.

    Went on a Saturday, mid morning. It was busy. There was one guy taking orders and preparing the. There were easily 15 clients who went in all at once. He was busy. The sandwich was okay. Not worth the 20mims wait.

    Now I'm only reviewing one item and the service I received here today. Which was awesome by the way. My friend came in to buy a breakfast burrito and decided to share half with me today. We asked the chef to cut it in half for us because we were sharing, and they cut it and gave us separate sauces. We pass by this location a lot but I haven't had a chance to try it. My friend betrayed me one day, and she tried this spot without me. Good thing she did because this burrito was delicious . It's hard to get us to try new places sometimes. After eating my piece I was a little upset I didn't get my own. Salsa was delicious and spicy and I love my spicy foods. The service was kind and brought cheer to my morning. Although it is a small establishment it was the cutest. I will def come again to try other things.

    Stopped by Bistro Bravado and ordered the breakfast burrito, and it definitely delivered. The portion size was large and filling, especially for the price, which felt very fair for the quality and amount of food you get. Flavor wise, everything was on point. The burrito was savory and rich, and the salsa verde really brought it together adding a nice acidity and a bit of kick that cut through the richness perfectly. Service was top tier from start to finish. Friendly, efficient, and made the experience even better. The only downside is the space itself is a bit small, so it's definitely more of a grab and go or takeout spot rather than somewhere you'd linger. Overall, great food, great value, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back.

    Came here for the breakfast burrito and wasn't disappointed - very nice and the salsa they give on the side went very well. My husband went with the breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed. The employee running the place was very nice and chatted to us while she made our breakfast. Took it to eat outside the State Capitol. Would definitely come back and try more items.

    So cute

    I feel like five stars not even enough. I had a breakfast sandwich mind you I ordered the breakfast sandwich at 2:30. I didn't eat that breakfast sandwich until midnight. It was delicious at midnight so if I would've ate that breakfast sandwich at 2:30 it would've been off the charts. Most of the reviews of that I read was about the burrito. The cook told me how he does everything that guy is amazing very friendly will definitely be going back.

    Omgggg had the best breakfast burrito made with love at Bistro Bravado! Just a block down walking distance from the Hyatt Regency with glowing Yelp reviews i had to check out!! Was greeted by 2 adorable children eating outside! Put in an order for the breakfast burrito. The interior is cozy and designed like the woods. Nice benches to sit on to wait for ur order and a relaxing water fountain. The chef made my burrito with love and i love how generous their salsa verde is!! I love salsa!! They also have other condiments like ketchup, cholulu hot sauce (yum) and tabasco. Enjoyed my burrito at the hotel! Plenty of egg, potatoes, and sausage!! Pairs well with the salsa verde and there is plenty for the whole burrito! I especially like love the crispy outside. Thank you so much and i def recommend!!

    This place is tucked in between other businesses in a small building in the heart of Downtown Sacramento. It is a cute shop that sells breakfast and lunch items as well as some drip coffee. You order at the counter and wait off to the side until they make your order. You can watch them as they put together your food, too! I decided to go in and try one of their sandwiches, the chicken BLT. When I went in I was immediately greeted by the worker while also helping other customers at the counter. It is a very small shop, so I can imagine it getting crazy during lunch hour. I did come in at 12:30pm, so I was a bit surprised there weren't more people. I watched him make my sandwich and he put a lot of care into the whole process. The chicken BLT was so delicious. It came on a toasted rosemary bread, hickory bacon, and the chicken was still juicy. Each bite had so many flavor profiles. The chicken was well seasoned and the bacon was so good. And for the downtown prices, the sandwich was rather large! I had their breakfast burrito as well on a different day and that was also good. But the BLT definitely made me a fan of this shop. I am excited to try their other menu items. I will say be prepared to wait a bit if there's a lot of people. The worker who made my sandwich was the only one working at the time and he was not only making the food, but also handling the register and answering the phone without even breaking a sweat. Excellent job!!

    Fajita salad and compostable silverware!
    Jennifer E.

    Really great spot for a quick bite to eat near the Capitol building. Plenty of healthy options and portions are great. We had the fajita salad and the chicken gyro bowl. Both were delicious! Everything tasted really fresh and the jalepeno ranch on the fajita salad had a little kick to it, which we enjoyed. I was very impressed with their compostable silverware. Food was prepared quickly and there was plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas.

    This breakfast burrito is busting!! Busting at the skeems!! Loaded and flavorful and affordable! Thank you for my yummy burrito I love it so good yummmmmmmmmm

    This was about a 6-7 min walk from my hotel, stopped by when I was on my morning walk and ordered a breakfast sandwich. They were out of the arugula which i was sad about but the sandwich was really good and their ingredients taste pretty fresh.

    Tracy L.

    Definitely a hidden gem in the Downtown Sacramento area! This place is walkable distance to my work's building, so already gone multiple times! I ordered the breakfast burrito and this boy was big and just $10! The burrito came with scrambled eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, onion, bell peppers, and breakfast potatoes. If you're coming with a friend, I would definitely recommend sharing or just have an extra portion for leftovers! Service is great and everyone is super nice. I would definitely recommend for an easy, delicious, and cheap breakfast spot!

    Really fun little restaurant that really captures that homey Southern charm…read more We were seated right away, and the host was really nice and fun, offering his recommendations without us even having to ask. Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized. Not as huge as your typical diner portions, but still large enough that you could probably expect some leftovers.

    The location is solid, it's in the heart of midtown near many other restaurants and businesses…read more They do have their own parking lot but it's very small and I believe you do have to pay. There is plenty of paid street parking nearby. The interior of the restaurant feels hipster and fresh. The host and servers were very friendly. They offered their insight on what menu items we should order. I will say our food took forever to come out. We were only a party of 7 so I guess I can see why but it easily felt like 30 minutes for our meal to arrive. Some dishes came out way after the others came out. I wasn't really feeling anything on the menu. I ended up getting a dish that I normally wouldn't try since it seemed lol my best option. The Po Boy was actually a pleasant surprise. It was crunchy and its flavor complimented the bread nicely. The ranch made the pickled onions pop and it was a decent sandwich size too. The fries were warm and crunchy. The prices are about average for a 2026 brunch spot. I'd say expect to walk out of here for about ~$35+ for a meal for two. I don't really have anything negative to say about my meal or experience here except for how long our meal took to arrive. And for that, I had to deduct a star. Bottom line/TLDR: great shrimp sandwiches!
