One of those places you wish you could keep low-key but it's to amazing to keep it as secret. Come try it yourself if you love seafood..

Mixed omelet
Colaroyal ..

I had the mixed omelet (chorizo & steak) was perfect with country potatoes. Server was nice and food came out quick. The coffee was really good not your typical restaurant coffee. I really want to come back this afternoon and have the seafood tower

Aguachile half eaten... (sorry)

Went there for the first time last weekend and had the aguachile verde and the scallop special and it was AMAZING! Headed back to Sac this weekend just to try more! The service was exceptional and the horchata was perfect!

Ceviche de Peacado
Elizabeth R.

First time and won't be the last. Clean, friendly service. Ordered the fish ceviche was so good barely got to take a picture. The sauce it came with is worth coming for. They have micheladas, mimosas beer.

Pulpo Sarandeado.  If the octopus comes out this delicious, imagine how everything else taste.

Always coming back here 100% I am going to be so sad but incredibly happy for them once everyone figures out this place exists and it becomes super busy. I've tried several restaurants and have no idea why this never popped up, but let me tell you right now, I have no regrets. I had such a huge craving for octopus and got their Pulpo Sarandeado and it was immaculate. Presentation was so beautiful even when I got it for takeout. They listened to my request for extra spicy sauce on the side and even provided me a bag with tostada shells/crackers. Super sweet of them! Call me dramatic, but it's one of the best octopus I've had in a while. Super super tender and didn't have that rubbery texture from being overcooked. Each bite paired with the mango/onion/avocado and the sauce on the side made it so much better. Just an explosion of flavor, especially with a bit of lime, that instantly made me want to try everything else they had to offer. Does this not show you how much time and love they put in making every meal? Incredibly happy I spotted this restaurant and gave it a shot. I mean- look how beautiful this looks! Definitely worth your time/money with how large these portion sizes are. Please support them.

Mis Compas. I don't know who taught them how to make mariscos but they were taught right. I went back on two occasions to get their Torre Mariquera. It is banging. It has Callos De Hacha, Cooked Shrimp, Raw Shrimp, Octopus, FRESH TUNA and some other stuff. Sauce and flavor is on point. I feel like it's a great deal given it has hella seafood. Seafood quality reminded me of when I travel to Baja Sur or Sinaloa. Seafood also tastes fresh. I know the scallops were definitely fresh. Great deal in my opinion for what you get. Caguamas and cubetas were also reasonably priced. I walked by the kitchen and could see in. They were definitely clean. It's a new business and it seems like they're doing it right to make a name. I'll be back with family. Signed, ElTioBorracho

I have tried various Mexican restaurants and food joints in the Sacramento/Rancho Cordova area and this one is a stand out! It is very family friendly, and the staff here is very helpful. On one occasion I brought my 3 year old and my Abuelita, and they both liked the spot! I appreciate that kind of atmosphere. Some of the standout dishes to me are the coctel de camarón and aguas chiles. Although I have tried their arrachera and postres and they were delicious too. I have not tried one thing off the menu I didn't like. I would definitely come back!

Juicy quesabirria with a must try hot sauce

First time go here craving some tacos luckily enough I found this place while driving by and saw quesabirria on the menu is a must try for the price

6 dollar churros.

I wish I ordered something else. Maybe other stuff on the menu is better. I try to support local and new restaurants. I hope things get better for this restaurant. It has a lot of potential.

It took a couple minutes for someone to even greet us, but they were busy. Someone sat us in the room behind the counter. We ordered the crab lobster Benedict with house potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs with sausage/bacon and side of fruit. The bacon was really good. Everything was great. A great little breakfast spot. Street parking, we came on a Monday so we didn't have a problem looking for parking but I'm sure on the weekend it's crazy. Will definitely be back.

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door).

They have a decent menu and I love how many dishes they have for brunch. Service has always been great, I've never had a bad experience. There's a huge outdoor seating and it's great for big groups. Good usually comes out promptly so I've never had to wait too long even when it's busy. Pros: the portions are huge, I can easily share with another person and still have leftovers.

The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

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 beignets reminded us of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Our table staff was also excellent, attentive, and friendly. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a disappointing start. While we were standing closest to the greeter's desk, the gentleman seating guests seemed to overlook us and asked another couple if they were next in line. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.

Smooth, not too sweet, and definitely something I'd order again. They also have dairy free options, which I appreciated, and a vegetarian breakfast burrito that was actually really good. I'm always happy when a place has more than one vegetarian option instead of making me survive off vibes and a pastry The staff was honestly a whole vibe too. They were patient, went over all the matcha options with me, and we ended up laughing because the cashier wasn't sure which dairy-free milk would be best. His coworker came over like, "Of course oat milk," and I was like, bet, let's do it Staff gets a 10/10 from me. One thing to know...if you enter through the parking lot, the shop is toward the back and can be a little hidden, so keep going. Overall, really good experience. I'd definitely be back.

Local favorite dive bar and hole-in-the-wall spot in Midtown!…read more Ambience: Casual, local dive bar with a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Parking: Challenging paid street parking. I recommend trying O Street or P Street, about 2 blocks away. Price: Very cheap and reasonable for the Midtown area. They're open daily from 6am to 2am, which is pretty amazing. You can even get a full breakfast and morning Jell-O shots while watching games and socializing. Recommended FOODS: * Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs: A crowd favorite for breakfast, served with lots of gravy. * Night Tacos: Super popular and cheap ground beef or chicken tacos. * Hot Wings: Done just right and extra crispy. Recommended DRINKS: * Bloody Mary * Morning Jell-O Shots * Mimosas * Craft beers on tap: 19 selections A fun spot if you're looking for a casual local dive bar, especially for an early breakfast or late-night food and drinks.
