Upon entering we were able to seat ourselves no wait time. Our servers was Lupe & Pepe they were more than accommodating with personality plus. We ordered the Skirt Steak Enchilada with Rice & Beans and Filete De Pescado with rice & Beans. Our food was served piping heat hot and oh my goodness the food was AWSOME! Packed with lots of flavor. The food was definitely prepared with much love. You will be amazed. We definitely will be back.

Free soup

Delicious food, both the chicana de res and chile colorado are flavorful and good quality beef. The service here is quick and friendly. I like the interior decorations it feels old school but kept up. There is a parking lot in the back as well which is nice.

Yes this restaurant is still fire. I haven't been here in over 30 years. However, after 30 years I finally returned and it was everything I remembered it to be. The restaurant is older but it's clean and the staff is amazing. It's not to noisy and very inviting. The food is fire, I had the 2 beef taco and cheese enchilada combo. Everything tasted really good and they give you plenty of food. I enjoyed everything and I definitely recommend sliding through here.

Spicy chicken

Caballo Blanco is past sixty years of having the best table chips in Sacramento, possibly the world. Don't forget your food is coming after though. Got the spicy chicken. Their spicy actually is spicy, not Burger King angry fries fake spicy. You won't not take stuff home. I am stuffed but somehow still hungry for more. This is not light Mexican food for those on diets such as myself, though the salad is good. They serve soup before dinner but not worth mentioning. Good service and still sane prices in 2024. No complaints at all, left with a full happy belly and then some. Not crowded either, thankfully this place is a local secret to this day.

Taco and tostada combo

This spot is a great spot to get some OG mexican food. They have a big space and plenty of parking. They have a good size menu but I usually go for the combo plates because you get a lot of food for around 15 bucks. All the plates come with rice and beans, and the meal starts with chips and salsa, which is solid. My go to is a crispy beef taco and enchilada. Both are covered with cheese and delicious. You will get all the authentic mexican food feels. There are other options for meats, and they have burritos, tostada, quesadilla, etc. Definitely a staple on Franklin that is worth trying if your nearby.

First time dining in at Caballo Blanco with Sonia C. and Aubrey R. for a weeknight dinner. They have their own parking lot which is well-lit. I didn't see any Aguas frescas options on the menu, so stuck with...just agua, lol. To start we each got some kind of vegetable/pasta soup and corn tortilla chips and salsa. We also shared some flour tortilla chips, which reminded me more like fluffy fried wontons. Not sure if they use lard here. If you've had the flour tortilla chips at Novillero, they're not the same consistency/texture. #8 Ocho combination plate: 1 beef taco and 1 cheese enchilada, which came with salad, rice, and beans. The cheese enchilada was good; the crispy beef taco held its own. Service was attentive and the meal was filling without being overstuffed. Sonia got a 3 item plate with two tacos and a cheese enchilada; Aub got the chile Colorado beef dish. On your way out, if you're lucky, you might even catch el lindo gato del parking lot.

Complimentary chips and salsa
Sonia C.

I came here for dinner with friends because, we've been wanting to try it for a while now. The free corn tortilla chips were delicious and fresh, you can tell with how warm they were and they were yummy. But we also ordered for an additional cost, the flour tortilla chips and they were so good too and so fluffy. The salsa was good but pretty spicy. The complimentary soup was great it tasted like something homemade with some veggies, pasta, and tomato broth, and it didn't have any meat. I ordered the 3 items to make your own plate. My 3 items were: crunchy carnitas taco, carne asada taco, and the cheese enchilada. The cheese enchilada was pretty good but, not my most favorite thing on the plate. The tacos were very delicious, the soft taco with carne asada was stuffed with meat and it was soo tasty. The crunchy carnitas was so delicious as well. The beans on the side were yummy and my favorite side. The rice was good but I prefer my Spanish rice to have more tomato flavor personally. The service was good and timely as well.

Chile Colorado
Chef Will G.

My grandmother used to bring me here as a child and have fond memories of this place. Have pictures of Pancho Villa and other revolutionaries on the wall. Love it. Mila was our waitress provided great service. She was attentive and kept bringing that cold filtered water. Soup Meals come with a small cup of soup, with pieces of penne and hamburger. It is ok. Chips and salsa. Very good. Huevos Rancheros Very good, generous portion. Beef Chile Colorado I have mixed feelings about this dish. Generous portion, tender beef. The texture of sauce was perfect, just thick enough. It had a strange flavor that I could not put my finger on. I was informed they use oregano. Not sure if it belongs in there. Refries beans Fantastic Spanish rice Dry, no flavor. Flour Tortillas Taste almost homemade, very good. They have liquor license so real Margaritas, something Novillero does not have.

When we arrived,…read morewe were immediately asked by the host if we had a reservation and when we said no, we were told there were no tables.. then she said she would go check and we were able to get right in. We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

I love to eat Mexican food and La Favorita Taqueria does it the best! I've been coming here…read moreconsistently for 5 years and this place does not disappoint! I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food! I highly recommend the Al pastor as your protein choice and honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu!

There's plenty of seating but it can fill up during prime hours. The place looks the same as it did when I came here as a kid and the service is always prompt and friendly. The menu is big so there are alot of options. My go to is the 2 or 3 item entree. You can pick from multiple items, meats, and it all comes with homemade beans and rice. The crispy taco, enchilada, and burrito with steak or carnitas are solid. The salsa and chips come out once you sit down and are really good. I put the salsa on everything and always end up with leftovers as the portions are large. With so many options on the menu, you will always leave this spot happy and full!
