Ronnie and the rest of the gang that work here are absolutely the warmest and kindest people! You feel like family dining here and we saw a handful of regulars. We enjoyed the elote appetizers, ribeye tacos, my vegetarian dish on a corn open face tortilla, horchata latte, and OMG the butter cake with churro ice cream is EXCELLENT. We will be back here again and again! :) read more

Super cute, modern, and hip Mexican food and coffee spot! We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in, which set a great tone. We ordered two chilaquiles dishes, one with chorizo and one with asada, and tried both the red and green salsas. Both had a nice kick of spice that made every bite really enjoyable. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The coffee was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. We also tried the puff pastry, which unfortunately lacked flavor. Overall, I'd come back again, especially to grab the chilaquiles as takeout in the morning! read more

My friends and I met here for breakfast over the weekend and I loved the decor, coffee and experience. This is a gorgeous and charming space, complete with a bar on the right and coffee station on the left. They have a concise menu for breakfast and I ordered the ham and cheese burrito, which also came with bacon, eggs and a medium spicy green sauce on the side as well as black beans, also on the side. I enjoyed my latte, which had some spices in it that made it similar to a golden latte (tumeric and a few other spices). It's not very sweet, which was nice, and the burrito was only $11, which was refreshing. I loved the live music (not sure how often they have live music but on March 14, they had it!); the duo was great, and they even took requests. They have their own parking lot, and there is also street parking. It's owned by the same restaurant group that owns La Cosecha and Mayahuel, as well as Sal's Tacos, which is next door. Thanks! read more

La Ciudad in West Sacramento is a stylish modern Mexican spot that immediately feels welcoming. The exterior has a clean contemporary look, and the patio with colorful umbrellas and communal tables gives it a relaxed neighborhood vibe. Inside, the space opens up with high ceilings, modern lighting, patterned tile, and a large mural that adds a lot of character without feeling overdone. We started with the guacamole, and it set the tone for the meal. It was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious. Fresh, bright, and well balanced. Definitely some of the better guacamole I have had, both in flavor and presentation. For my entrée I ordered the chile relleno. It was very good and I would recommend it. The pepper was nicely roasted and topped with a creamy sauce that worked really well with the dish. Two others in our party tried the chicken tamal. The tamales themselves were good and fairly traditional in flavor, but the mole sauce was the standout. It was rich, complex, and clearly the highlight of that dish. Service was also excellent. Our server was very helpful and attentive without hovering or getting in the way too much. He checked in at the right times and helped keep the meal moving smoothly. Overall this was a very good experience. Between the thoughtfully designed space, strong flavors coming out of the kitchen, and great service, La Ciudad is definitely worth a visit. Overall rating: 4 out of 5. I would happily come back and try more of the menu. read more

Came for the first time for lunch on a weekday. Greeted fairly quickly and sat outside. Sunny but they have umbrellas but it gets warm quick as it didn't cover a lot of the table. Interior and exterior was clean and had very cute decor. They also serve ice cream here on the left side of the restaurant which is a nice touch. Food was disappointing despite being plated well. 3/5 guac - pretty but lackluster in taste and it was presented without plates or napkins. Not a huge deal but we didn't get silverware or napkins until food arrived. 3/5 ribeye tacos. Meat was tough and chewy. Green salsa was sweet and not very tasty. Friend got shrimp tacos and said it was just okay. Another friend got a chile relleno which was decent. The rice was good and the creamy white sauce on her plate was the best thing we had. Not sure I'd be back for food. Everything was extremely pretty tho. If return I'd get something different or maybe to try the ice cream. The service was friendly but extremely slow and didn't get a check back after food was dropped until we were finished. A bit disappointed in my experience, not sure this is on my list of places to return anytime soon. Got pretty pictures of my food tho. read more

I saw this place just opened on social media and I had to check it out. I love places with a big beautiful mural inside, it just sets the vibe. Inside is very vibrant, open, and clean. Their parking lot is really small, so we ended up parking in the neighborhood. Our server was Amy who was friendly and patiently answered my questions. We ordered the blanco canela latte and the Tierra blanco latte. We also ordered the chorizo burrito and the chilequiles rojos. I saw they also have mole and chile relleno so I'll have to go back and try those dishes. There are some days where they close in the evening but I believe that's during the weekend, their hours are on the front door. Pros: everything is made fresh when you order. I wasn't sure about the spice level for the chilequiles and was offered a sample. It took a bit because they made a fresh batch just for me to try. I loved the chorizo burrito, the green sauce was so flavorful and complimented the chorizo very well. I enjoyed the chilequiles as well. Amy was great and checked up on us regularly. Cons: parking can be tricky. The neighborhood homeowners already have their cars parked on the street as well. read more

Overall Experience: We visited La Ciudad MX City Urban Market for Saturday brunch and were so impressed. This newer spot in West Sacramento brings bold Mexican flavors together with a modern, urban market vibe, and it truly feels like a gem for the community. It's the kind of place that makes you excited to come back and try more. Concept & Space: La Ciudad is more than just a restaurant, it's an urban marketplace featuring a café, nieveria/paletería, and full restaurant all in one. The inside was very clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The market-style layout makes it feel lively yet comfortable, and you can tell a lot of intention went into the vision of the space. Drinks: The café menu highlights Mexican-inspired coffee and drinks, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the iced Suspiro Maya latte, which was absolutely delicious and perfectly sweet. My husband got the iced Canela Soul latte, and he really enjoyed it as well. Both drinks were well-balanced and flavorful. Food: I ordered the chorizo & egg torta, which was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. It comes with avocado salsa, but I highly recommend asking for their spicy salsa on the side if you like a little heat, it adds the perfect extra kick. My husband ordered the chorizo burrito, which was also delicious and hearty. The menu has many lunch and dinner items that look amazing, and we're already planning a return visit to try more. Service: The service was wonderful. Our servers were so sweet, checked in on us regularly, and took the time to share the history and vision behind La Ciudad. It was really nice hearing how the café, restaurant, and market all come together as one urban marketplace. Parking: There is a small parking lot available, and we also noticed plenty of nearby street parking, which made it easy to visit. Final Thoughts: La Ciudad MX City Urban Market is such a welcome addition to West Sacramento. Great food, delicious drinks, warm service, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend stopping by, especially for brunch! read more

Second time I've been here and I will be coming back again. The tostada was the best I've ever had. No joke. The staff are very friendly. The restaurant's decor is well done. So far everything I've had has not disappointed. I still need to try their cocktails which look and sound delicious. read more

La Ciudad - Shrimp & Octopus Tostada - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I came to La Ciudad for breakfast/brunch on a Saturday. Parking lot is limited but thankfully some spots were open when I got here so I had no trouble finding parking. The interior is stunning, elegant, clean and touches of traditional Mexican decor. When I first walked in I was greeted and welcomed in, staff is very friendly. This is a great concept, Mexican urban market where you can order coffee, ice cream or other goodies to go on one side or sit down to enjoy a meal on the right. It's is an open space with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces. There's even a mini fusbool outdoors just like in Mexico. The coffee was a 10/10, love to and the server had my coffee remade because i accidentally forgot to order it dairy free. I got the chorizo burrito and it was yummy as well- I'd give it a 8/10. My boyfriend ordered the chicharron and he said that he wished the chicharron was much crunchier and it was a little too soft for a chicharron for him but it still had good flavor. I can't wait to be back and try their other items! read more

The newest Mexican offering in West Sacramento. Beautiful decors inside. Very high end. Artwork, bar design, layout of the restaurant. You can tell every detail was meticulously chosen. I am pretty sure ownership here runs my fiancées favorite midtown spot, Zocalo's. The location is super convenient and close to home for me. I hope this place can succeed as I hope for all the eateries in town. Went to pick up a couple breakfast burritos after my workout recently. Sat at the bar and had a beer while I waited. Service was great. Vibes were high for the spot. Now I'm sure a lot of lady's can relate to my breakfast burrito dilemma here; it was a fantastic breakfast burrito with great flavors and of high quality. Problem is that the burrito in question was small. Sure there was plenty of cheese and the eggs were scrambled perfectly, some crispy bacon and spicy chorizo. But upon opening the bag and seeing the burrito I was extremely disappointed in the overall size of it. This is not to disparage La Ciudad as it was my first time here. I plan to return and try more of their menu as the pictures I've seen do it justice. For two breakfast burritos and a modelo my total was $33 before tip. read more

La Ciudad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Sacramento, California

My boyfriend and I walked with our dog to get some breakfast around 10:00am. They do not have umbrellas yet for the outdoor patio according to one of the servers so just caution if you decide to bring your dog on a sunny, warm morning like today. Also advise you order drinks and to go orders at the cafe to your left OR you take a seat and wait for a server to order at the tables to your right. The service at "cafe" is quite slow, but it's expected since it seems like the person there is taking orders, making drinks AND occasionally serving food. Blanco canela latte - 5/5 essentially their made horchata with a couple shots of espresso - Regular Horchata - 4/5 We ordered to-go and took our food home to eat- I got chilaquiles rojos and added chorizo - 3/5 it was good however I like my chilaquiles soaked and a little soggy but some of the chips were uncoated and still hard so I assume salsa was poured over the chips instead of being cooked in it - also the type of tortilla chips they seemed to use over powered any other flavor in the dish My boyfriend got the chorizo burrito - 3/5 They are very new so expect service to be a little slower and unorganized Will try again in a month! read more

I've been driving past this corner for years and always wondered what its potential could be. Then I saw construction begin earlier this year and was excited to see what would be revealed. After popping in to confirm they were indeed finally open yesterday, my family and I walked down this morning for coffee and breakfast. First impression-OMG this place is stunning! The elegant and clearly cultural elements make the space special to sit in. There is a beautiful mural about the tragic love story of the Aztec warrior Popoca and Princess Mixtli. Next time, I plan on eating inside, but we needed to sit outside because of our stroller and dog. They had comfy chairs to enjoy our coffees in but due to the rainy weather they hadn't set up their patio yet. However, Ernesto was amazing and brought out a table and chairs from inside for us to dine Al fresco. Second impression-the service is fantastic. See note about Ernesto above. Everyone who is there has been friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure your food and drink are exactly how you want. Sandra was our barista and waitress and was so helpful in answering my multitude of questions. My husband had the breakfast burrito-he stated in between eating the first half and the second half that it was one of the best breakfast burritos he has ever had. I would have taken a photo except he was eating into it faster than I could whip out the phone! I ordered the tuna tostada (fresh and spicy!!) and the baked fish and shrimp entree. I took one bite and stopped in my tracks because I have never tasted anything like it before. It was so unique-smoky, spicy, briny and made me think of fresh fish from the beaches in Tulum and the ornate complex flavors of Mexico City, a culinary capital. I cannot wait to go back and try everything on their menu. Their drinks look great too so look forward to inviting friends to join me. I believe they will do well bringing culture, style and flavors to this corner in West Sacramento. We need more local businesses who want to create their mark in our cities. I, for one am invested in everything they have to offer and more! Welcome La Cuidad MX City!! read more

The place is gorgeous! So beautiful inside. The food? Eh. The chips are crunchy but too hard. Salsas they came with were muted and forgettable. Our chorizo breakfast burritos were beautiful aesthetically, but the chorizo was lacking in flavour big time. Best part were the beans! They must cook them in lard or tallow or some super yummy stock or something. Overall, the food is average. Service was okay. read more

Seems like a great addition to west sac for quality food. A fun concept here mixing a coffee shop, ice cream shop, and multiple food options from sister restaurants to try out. Food was good - servings weren't huge but good price for what you get. I tried the Tlayuda oaxaquero - bit of a spin on a tostada. Good flavor and the sauce and chorizo has a spicy kick to it. Service was good. Limited parking though. Will be back to try the churro and mango ice cream! read more

Just a note their hours in Yelp are off. They are open some evening. I belive Thursday through Sunday, but don't quote me. I'd call and ask. We came here yesterday, Sunday, December 28th, 2025 around 1pm. It was a leisurely walk from home. There is a foot path down the street so it's safe, just full of leaves due to the winter weather. When you enter look left, there is a foosball table and ice cream selection. Infront of you will be tables and a front desk area with menus. The menus need some TLC. They are stained with food. They can't be washed off as they are just two legal pieces of paper stapled together. To the right is the main seating area. They have a full bar with seating at the bar and lots of tables. We sat near the full length windows. I belive it used to be a garage and they converted into an eatery. It's very bright in the cafe which is nice in the winter time. They have a pull down screen on the same side of the cafe as the windows and an overhead projector. They weren't using it while we were there. Maybe they'll show big sporting events on it. The chairs we sat in were really nice. They are made out of different colored cording and were very comfortable. It seemed very clean in the cafe minus the menus. When you get the check they give it to you in a mini tortilla press which was adorable. Service was great. The waiter kept coming around and checking on us and getting us more water. We already had lunch so we were looking more for a hot beverage and a snack or dessert. My husband got the chi horchata latte which was served hot with foam in a large cup with saucer. I opted for the chips and salsa. The chips were thick and crunchy and not too salty. The salsa was mild, but had a little spice to it. I really liked it. The spice was just enough and not overwhelming. The portion size was ok, I think they should add a few more chips to really fill the plate. The couple behind us just got hot drinks, in the same latte cups we had. The people behind them got several platters of food, I'd count 4, so they were the Lunch crowed along with the table behind us. There was a total of 4 tables occupied and someone sitting at the bar. It was a pretty quiet place, even with the high ceilings it wasn't overwhelming loud. The acoustic for that small group was perfect. The temperature was just right on the cool day we were there. I was able to shed my jacket, beanie, and gloves and I was very comfortable. As I mentioned they have a foosball table. We played on the way out and it was a lot of fun. They have a single bathroom that was clean, but out of paper towels in the dispenser. They have there own parking lot. The lines aren't drawn in yet so parking is a little confusing. They had 4 cars in the lot and it worked perfectly. I'm not sure they can fit more with the arrangement they have. We'll have to see after they draw the lines and figure out the traffic flow. I look forward to returning for lunch or dinner. read more

I don't even know where to begin. The drinks, let's go with the amazing cocktails! I had the Oaxaca old fashioned and my friends had the spicy margaritas. We loved all of it! The food! I wish I had taken a photo of the menu but will do my best from memory! The Birra dish, Tortilla soup (get this!!) the Chicken Mole (the first thing on the main dish menu) it's so good, it's so so good I cannot wait for my leftovers and lunch tomorrow. The service was kind and attentive. They wanted to make sure they had everything we ordered and if an ingredient was put our server came back and let us know. Even before I pulled into the lot I could smell the amazing aroma from the street. The location itself is beautiful and warm with a lovely bar and gorgeous mural. I can't wait to enjoy the entire menu. read more

This place is a great find and a new favorite for me. I've been exploring Sacramento and new spots and La Cuidad did not disappoint. I had the Azteca soup and it was packed with flavor and a little kick!! Had the Ribeye tacos the were good but I would have like them more juicy and not as tough. Had the fish tacos and they were good overall a good fish taco! The drinks were good as well had the guayabo and hibiscus water 10/10. Service was also 10/10 Amy B. made us feel special, Thank you Amy!! This place has a very cool vibe, definitely urban eating at its best!! Was told they have live music on Saturdays!! Hey great food, good drinks and music, just add some good friends to the mix and it's a Fiesta!!! read more

Came here for a work lunch with my team. I had the best burrito we shared chips and salsa and had the plantains for dessert. My burrito was good full of flavor and the green salsa took it up a notch. The plantains were good. Crispy edges and the chips and salsa were great appetizer. Service was good staff are friendly and helpful with ordering. I had the best coffee as well I think it was called the Canela Soul Latte. It was amazing with light ice. The ambiance of the market is nice. It's good for work lunches or meet up with the girls. Will come back again read more

Food and drinks are really good and service was pleasant. The ambiance was nice! Worth a visit.

This review is not meant to harm but to offer some love; We are West Sacramento locals and when a new location opens, the community loves it and supports our local businesses, so welcome and thank you for adding a beautiful establishment! The decor and and natural light is so cool! The bar looks GREAT and can't wait to partake when the time comes. Well done to the design team!! I would love to comment on the food, but here comes the constructive criticism... we left after waiting for 20 min to be helped (and so did a couple of other people). More staff is needed and a better system put in place. I felt for the waitress/barista, that set up isn't fair to her nor to the rest of the staff and consequently your new customers! I am sure that with time, working thru some ups and downs, I believe La Ciudad will be a popular establishment in West Sacramento! See you again soon! read more

I have worked down the street for over a decade and was driving downtown near the I steer bridge and suddenly noticed the other day a nice, remodeled building that used to be a car repair shop. The signage wasn't the best so I wasn't sure what it was but assumed it was a restaurant. I had time today and at lunch thought I would investigate my hunch. I'm glad I did since I discovered a nice, clean, modern comfortable spot that is far and few between in West Sac. The pozole verde I had was flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Easily one of the best I've had in the area. When I was there I had texted a couple coworkers about the spot and they headed over and enjoyed their food also! Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu including the breakfast side! read more

Congrats on the new opening! Ernesto is a pillar of the community with great restaurants, so as a local resident I was really excited to try this new spot. I love that La Ciudad offers a more gourmet take on Mexican cuisine, definitely different from Sal's more traditional style, and what we tried was very tasty. One thing that put me off a bit was the bar experience. My girlfriend ordered the Horchata with Rum ($15) and I ordered a Carajillo ($15), but the bar was out of Licor 43. No problem -- I switched to a simple coffee with cream and a shot of whiskey. What surprised me was being charged the same $15 cocktail price for that basic drink. Without the specialty ingredients, the value just didn't feel right. The cocktails are priced at downtown levels, but the service and execution still seem to be finding their footing. Our server was friendly and welcoming, though a couple of the other staff didn't seem as warm. These little things matter, especially in a brand-new neighborhood spot. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, and I think they can get there, but right now those small details prevent it from being a 5-star experience. That said, I genuinely want La Ciudad to succeed and become a staple here in the neighborhood. I'll be back again soon to check out more of the menu. read more

Coffee is decent. Don't know if they are understaffed or just poor time management- takes forever to get a coffee if there is more than 2 people in line. The came in at 10:32 and finally got my to go coffee order at 10:50. It shouldn't take 20 mins to serve a cup of coffee when there is only 1 couple ahead of you. Ridiculous read more

I live nearby and have been waiting for many months for this to open! My boyfriend and I had breakfast there and it was very good. Hoping to come back for some ice cream and nightcaps in the future :) Only thing I recommend is that they change the sign out front because there's a huge typo in the name! But that being my only complaint as a new business says a lot. They were very quick to serve us and the breakfast burrito and croissant sandwich are affordable prices. read more
