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! :)
La Ciudad is such a nice addition to West Sacramento! The space looks very modern, clean, and spacious. The owner mentioned they are planning to add more outdoor seating soon, which will be awesome for nice days.For breakfast, we both ordered the huevos divorciados and some coffee. Everything was excellent, but the standout for me was the Tierra Blanca latte, it was absolutely delicious and had a great, noticeable coconut flavor.I love how the layout is set up with a separate bar area and a dedicated coffee bar that also sells fresh pastries and ice cream. There is so much variety here, and I can't wait to come back and try more items off the menu!
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.
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.
We came for brunch on Father's Day. Cute spot with a coffee shop connected to the restaurant. My husband had a shrimp cocktail and I had a chile relleno. It's definitely more of a Mexican fusion food take vs traditional Mexican food. The food is well priced. I had an Americano as well and surprisingly the coffee was great! My son had a horchata chai latter and he loved it. Looking forward to returning.
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.
This place is a great addition to west sac. So beautiful inside. The service was good. The food is amazing. I have the Chilequiles Verde and the sauce was delicious! Had a nice kick to it and full of flavor. I also had the canela soul latte and it was yummy! Would definitely go there again. They have two menus which was a little confusing at first but it's a cafe and a restaurant together so from 8am-3pm you can get cafe food and all day they have the restaurant food. I would love to back and try the restaurant menu.
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!
The staff were friendly and the place itself was very clean and cute, but it was very hot inside. There was about a 20 minute wait time for our torta and huarache, but the food was still served almost cold. The portions were very small and the chorizo/egg to cheese ratio is not good.
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!
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.
Darling new locally owned spot in West Sac with unique yummy coffee beverages, breakfast, Mexican food, and even ice cream. Parking is very limited. I really enjoyed the Iced Tierra Blanca Latte. They're still in their soft opening phase but recently extended their weekend evening hours to 8pm.

I have over the years been to many eating places, coffee shops, ethnic food restaurants and have been impressed by many. I RARELY HAVE BEEN THIS IMPRESSED WITH A RESTAURANT/COFFEE SHOP/ETHNIC FOOD SPECIALTY LOCATION. La Cuidad really has it all. The place is an art display, everything has purpose and arranged in such a way to be pleasing to the eyes. I would love to interview the artistic director of this restaurant. West Sacramento has never had a place of this caliber within the city limits. There are nice eating places, but none that take this amount of care to be pleasing to the eyes and very comfortable. I really wish it is a bigger place But again the size makes it intimate and great for a date or special occasion for your significant other. It is carefully crafted to be pleasing to the customer without being overwhelming to give you an environment that is not only relaxing but allows you time to enjoy your food without the sometimes overwhelming noise of traffic, air conditioning, loud talking. For some reason the place feels quiet and conversations are muted. I believe the designer may have inadvertently, or purposely reduced the ability of sound to reflect off walls and ceiling. I have eaten at Michelin restaurants that are so loud I could not eat comfortably. I was relaxed ate slowly and tasted every bite. Our server was fantastic. Coffee was great and our drinks never went dry. Food was great. Real Latin style dishes in just themo no in right amount to enjoy but not overwhelmed. Just the right amount of heat on my breakfast. And a amazing amount of tastes and colors. We will be trying every restaraunt in the group. I am not sure how it is run but there are quite a few on the sign and if they are all as good as La Ciudad then we are going to be very busy. read more

This review is past due. Back in May, I dropped on in for weekday lunch. Noe posting the review. I was in the West Sacramento, a few blocks from I Street bridge. which I haven't been in the past eight years. So when I saw La Cuidad signage and building, which was new to me, my interest was peaked. We decided on the spot to give it a go. Super glad we did. Fresh, delicious food. Focused on modern, genuine Mexican cuisine while staying true to Mexican culinary classics. The space has a walk up coffee counter and artisanal pan dulces. The right side has a full bar and sit down cafe. The concept was inspired by the urban marketplaces of Mexico City. The interior design is gorgeous. Blew me away. Giving off designer relaxed coastal resort vibes. Family friendly. On one wall is a projected video of beautiful ancient Mexican towns. Like watching a travel channel with no projected sound. Onto the food... Thr shrimp tostada was out of this world. 5 out of 5 stars and beyond in taste, flavor and freshness. One of the best I've had. Real fresh, vibrant flavors. The tostada has a distinct freshness and flavor as well. Gorgeous looking also. But the serving size was small for the price paid. However it's 2026 and inflation is a current reality. read more
La Ciudad rocks. Everything. The food. The vibe. The service. And did I mention, the food? Elotes. Must get. Scrumptious. Camarones. Fantastic. Full of fresh, zesty, delicious, authentic, seafood flavors. The pollo al jardín? This dish blew me away. That melty, sweet, smooth butter sauce was perfectly smothered all over the dish, and it wasn't overpowering either. I'm normally not a fan of saucy meals. This was my favorite of the night. Shoutout Ceecee (Cecilia) for the exceptional service. She's the best. I will for sure be back next time I'm in Sac. This is a West Sac gem, for sure! read more

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

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

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
I'm so glad I finally got to check out La Ciudad. The vibe here is so relaxing & nostalgic for me. I loved the decor! Service was pretty quick & everyone was kind. I enjoyed my horchata chai & the huarache. The chilaquiles were okay. read more

Really wanted to like this place because I've been wanting to try it for a while. The vibes and ambiance are definitely there. It has that nostalgic Mexican feel and the food looks amazing in pictures. We came in today for breakfast and I wanted to order an agua fresca but they were completely out of all three options. We were told their "shipment" hadn't come in yet which was a little disappointing. What really threw me off though was the cook being on her phone while making the food. She literally had the phone to her ear and was holding it with her head. I found it pretty unprofessional especially since the kitchen is visible to customers. At one point she put it on speaker and we could hear the entire conversation which was basically just gossip. I understand if it was an important call but this definitely wasn't that and it really killed the vibe. I ordered the red chilaquiles and added chicken. The menu states that the eggs come scrambled but when my food came out the eggs were over easy with a completely runny yolk. I didn't think I needed to clarify that I didn't want a runny yolk when the menu specifically says scrambled. Overall just an unfortunate experience for our first time here. There were a few things that could've easily been avoided and the experience just wasn't what I expected. Sadly I don't think I'd come back. 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

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

It was so good I had to go two times in 2 months. Ernesto and the mayahuel family of restaurants has done it again! The coffee bar has amazing drinks, this breakfast/ brunch spot is nothing short of phenomenal! The staff is friendly. The ambiance reminds me of the wonderful restaurants in Mexico City modern, shiek and classy. Highly recommended to anyone who's hungry and want something special. read more

We were down from Seattle and craving Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. We have jueveos rancheros and chilaquiles and both were sooooo good. We also had flavored lattes (one honey and one coconut - can't remember what they were called) that were so good I thought about having second, but didn't need more caffeine. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Our server was also super friendly and delightful. 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
