I had a great experience at lunch today! The service was excellent! Super clean restaurant! The flavor of the food is memorable! I will never drive past this place without stopping! Well done! read more

Food is good...but the lady waitress that is always there is very rude! Just figure at times that she had a bad day, but have gone there multiple times and she still rude. So, the one star is for the waitress! They have always provided a lunch punch card that they would sign with each meal and when filled you get a free meal. My card was filled so I had a free meal coming to me. We had a party of 4 and two meals were on one ticket which one of the meals should of been free due to my meal card was filled with their signature so I was redeeming my free meal. I went to pay for both meals and provide my lunch card that should remove my meal as it should of been free with the filled card. I provide the waitress with cash for the other meal on my ticket and my fill card to redeem for the free meal. The same rude waitress I spoke about earlier told me that they aren't taking the free meal card due to the pandemic. I said you can't due that as I have come here each time and had my card signed for each meal to fill the card and NOW you don't want to honor the free meal! I told her I am NOT paying for my meal and left her the cash for the other meal that was on my ticket. She keep saying she is not taking the card for the free meal and insisted they arent't them due to the pandemic. I told her the pandemic has nothing to due with her don't honoring the filled card. I told her to call the police as I am not paying for the my meal I should be receiving as free!. The other two meals were payed for by the other two people in my party. I left the money for the one meal and the filled signed free meal card and we walked out of the restaurant. We were getting in the car and the rude waitress said don't come back and put the money for the other meal on the ground outside the restaurant. So, now she lost the money for the meal we should of paid for as she gave it back to me on the ground. I believe the waitress is Urbana's wife. She always argues payment of one way or another. Another time she didn't want to take a gift certificate that they sell along with a coupon from the Z Best coupon book. Said can't take the gift certificate with a coupon. I told her the gift certificate is treated like cash. After being persistent she excepted the gift certificate and the coupon. I have other friends that have also had problems with her when they went there and said she is usually rude in some way or another so they stopped going there too! The food is good, but the hassle with this waitress is a pain and makes the environment not enjoyable. So, be warned if you have a meal card that you want to redeem for your free meal she will hassle you with some stupid excuse that they aren't taking them anymore...you have a right to still redeem it! Just show it to her when paying and insist that you aren't paying for the meal that should be free. She can NOT keep doing this when they sign the meal card in the first place and then doesn't want to honor it when it's full for to receive the free meal! If not taking the free meal cards, I guess she shouldn't of been signing the card all the other times we came in. They lost us as customers as she continues to be rude hopefully more people will complain and more customers will not go there and/or she should lose her job as she is driving customers away. Urbano, please get a different waitress that is kind and respectful to your customers. read more

This place used to be one of our favorites. The food was fresh and excellent. The beans were fresh-made. Now they come from a can. They gouged us on things like charging extra for onions in my enchilada. The service has always been pretty spotty. One of the main waitresses really does not have enough English to answer any questions, but somehow manages to take an order, and she is friendly enough. The other main one speaks fine English, but she is MEAN. I mean she is REALLY unpleasant. And now that the food is not good, and they are screwing around with hidden price extras and such, we have decided that we are done with the place. Also, it is a dump, which we ignored, when the food was good... I really wish that Yelp would not just show the arithmetic mean of ratings for a place, but also current trends when the ratings change, so that we can see a place is improving, or like Urbanos, has decided it is time to fleece their loyal customers. If you are thinking of Urbanos, I suggest trying that place at Mission and El Camino, instead. read more

The food is very good here! Fresh, great salsa and very good chips with home made flour tortillas served with your meal. It is just a small place, but all the people here are very friendly, excellent service! Cheaper than some fast food! Great lunch prices! read more

See all

Food is great. Home made tortillas absolutely make this place so good! Definitely could use a better location but even in the spot it's in...the food is pretty awesome. read more

Love Urbano's food been coming here from every since it opened The salsa and chips are the best homemade and the service is just wonderful friendly always there for a refill and a smile and they are very clean read more

Great food and you can't beat their lunch special and reward program. Its not the fanciest location by any means, but it is homey and the staff is always friendly. The chips and homemade tortillas are tasty and their tacos are delicious. I really enjoy the lunches and while dinner isn't bad i'm so used to the lunch its hard for me to come at night :) read more

OVERALL: a little hole in the wall mexican food with outstanding, home-made, must have tortillas, chips and rice. PRICE: is fairly cheap (esp. lunch thats the best time 5.25-6.75 plate) which is always nice! SERVICE: for the most part they attend to your every need and they are the type to refill your drink without you asking and same goes for chips and salsa. Very home like service, meaning there is typically two maybe three servers but they are always helpful and attendant to everyone. FOOD: This is the BEST in sacramento! You can NOT beat the chips (always hot, fresh and home made!) The salsa is just the right mixture of not too spicy..but if you want spicy they can you a special kind (just ask!) Pork Chimichanga is my favorite because it is airy,crispy and never drips oil. The rice is TO DIE FOR! (please just try) Carna Asada is also very flavor full. The tortillas are what make people KEEP COMING, just made hot and fresh thick tortillas. APPEARANCE: this would be the down fall of the restaurant, but hey! it is a hole in the wall restaurant...and the food alone will make you forget of the plastic chandeliers mixed with mexican beer posters and a giant old tv. read more

This place is very filthy and tables are sticky, tacky inside. And older waitress is very pushy and little RUDE! Make me wonder how clean the kitchen really is. read more

Found a nice piece of metal in a taquito from there. I was waiting it the next day and it happened to fall apart revealing the piece of metal. My kids just ate here with me. Never again. Ever. Dangerous. read more

Llamas Restaurant - Found this in their food the next day eating left overs... do not eat here. - Mexican Near Me - Carmichael, California

Went to this place for my first time last evening with my neighbor. My neighbor assured me that it was AWESOME food and he had been frequenting the establishment for years. I have to admit, he was SO right. I had the #4 dinner special and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade tortillas rocked and their chips & salsa too while we waited for our meals was the best. I'm sure this place has to be getting some more business as well with the loss of La Placita Dos in Citrus Heights, it was a full house. I will most definitely be back and it is only around the corner from my home. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Service was great and as busy as they were, our meals were served in less than 15 minutes. Urbano's did NOT dissapoint. ;-) read more

Not good!! Got two #11 to go, taco was wrap in paper made taco soggy mess, beef was old u cud tell been around awhile not fresh. Chicken enchilada fell apart mush. Meat old as well. Guess u get to go order they feel they can get over. I will never return here. My tip is stay away. read more

Love, love, love the chicken tacos...with a side of enchilada sauce...drenched. Chips and salsa...mmm mmm mmm.

Disgusting place. READ THE HEALTH REPORT. As of December 2019, they had a cockroach "infestation" and failed TWO additional inspections and haven't been allowed to reopen since. As a manager in food service, this is beyond foul. No one should ever give someone business who doesn't give a DAMN about serving you safe food in a cockroach-free setting. Goes to show they were more interested in getting your money than keeping their restaurant in good repair. Just nasty. read more

Ate there twice now and both times the service and food were excellent. Order the flour tortillas as they are made there fresh. Coffee was great too, as are the dishes. Service is A+!! read more

Stale chips. Bland salsa. Old tortillas. Restaurant appeared dingy and dirty. I chose this restaurant because it was highly rated by Yelp. Misrated, actually. read more

This restaurant is phenomenal. One of the parts are the homemade tortillas, and the homemade chips and salsa. The chips and salsa are always to die for. Sometimes I even come in for only some chips and salsa to go! The owner Urbano is always around and smiling and everyone who works here is extremely friendly and remember you when you come in again. I would recommend this place to anyone. I absolutely love it! read more

Worst Mexican food ever!! We order 2 combination plates and they didn't even tell us that they were out of a item we ordered until after we paid. They replaced it with the worst tamale ever!! The plates were messy and all mixed up! You couldn't even tell what food was what! That was the biggest waste of $32.30 ever!! We could even tell the foam container had been microwaved!! Don't waste your money like we did. Their food is CRAP!! Tamara R. read more

Good service ordered #3 was very very filling. Couldn't eat it all. Cool environment. Good service will return again for a cheap Mexican place to eat. read more

Llamas Restaurant - Ordered #3 dinner. Great meal couldn't eat all. Very tasty, good service. Definitely will return. Reasonably priced! - Mexican Near Me - Carmichael, California

Cheese enchiladas are the best!! Staff is friendly and quick with the refills. Best Salsa Ever!!!

Chips and Salsa were good, but that's where it all ends. The super burrito barely had anything in it. But the very worst thing is that we had the waitress from Hell! She was upset when I only ordered water to drink. Then when my husband said he wanted water, she rolled her eyes and let out a big sigh. When she took our order, we told her we were going to share the Super Burrito. But then she asked me what I wanted. When I said we are sharing, she stomped off. But wait, it gets worse. When she brought the burrito out, she put the plate in front of my husband and walked away. When my husband asked her for another plate, please, she brought out the smallest plate she could find and put it in front of my husband and stomped away again. I will never go back. Sad because 15 years ago, it was my brother-in-laws favorite restaurant. Now I'll tell the whole family to not go there. read more

I have been eating at this wonderful place for seriously 15 years. It has never changed. I order the beef tacos every time. It's fast and delicious. The staff who has also remained the same, are friendly. The chips are warm and the salsa is awesome. Love this place! read more

I have been dining here for as long as I can remember. Great authentic food, good prices, great atmosphere and friendly customer service. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Love this place! Its always delicious! They are friendly and never disappoint! Pepe is an asset!

This is by far the best. Imagine hot chips every time and service that feels like they care

Urbano's is a hole in the wall serving authentic mexican food that has urbanized portion sizes to be enjoyed as a family meal. The staff is polite, very welcoming, and is assertive but not trying to upsell you on anything. I had them make me a asada super burrito with everything and they did not disappoint one bit. The service is on point, and they keep on making these 3's. Urbano's is the go-to for authentic mexican food of Manzanita Avenue. 5 stars. read more

So clean, So friendly, So delicious. My chili colorado was too of top of the line! So much flavor, not mushy (over cooked). Homemade tamales, yes please! Authentic, family owned, and very very good! read more

We ordered through Door Dash two combos, one with rice and one without. Each meal came with tortillas. When the meal came both had rice and no tortillas. I called Urbanos to ask them. The woman who answered the phone kept saying no English. I asked for someone who could speak English. She said no call Door Dash, which I did. How does a business function or even answer the phone with no English? We have eaten here before a while ago it was good. Very sad but I will never recommend this place. The quality of food also has gone down. Door Dash was fantastic and took care of us. read more

I dine at Urbano's probably 3 to 5 times a month. The Homemade Mexican food Real steak taco,s Real homemade corn chips and salsa. Fast service, and very affordable pricing sets this place out from the rest. This out of the way restaurant could be on "Dives and Diners". I bring guest there and talk business frequently. read more

I have no idea how this place has 4 stars, maybe their other food is good? I ordered the super nachos with beef and it was just not edible so I had to throw it away. Ive never ever came across nachos as bad as these and im always trying different places nachos. I dont know if it was really cheap cheese or exactly what was wrong with it but as I took my first bite, an extremely disgusting taste filled up my mouth. read more

OK......this may seem strange, but when I eat at a place that has me wanting to go back the next day and the day after that, I know I'm hooked. This is a weird story. Back in the day, I had the same affinity for a restaurant called Kico's on Arden (still open). I don't get back there much because of the drive, and now I've found heaven in Carmichael at Urbano's. The food here is incredible. Do you know why? The owners etc. in some twisted way are distantly related to the Kico's folks, as well as good friends and use the same recipe's for their food. The food is EXACTLY the same as it has been at Kico's. Great salsa and chips (same), and awesome Chili Rellenos and Beef/Chicken Quesadillas/Enchiladas (same). They also have coupons on their website with great deals: urbanosmexicanrestaurant.com. Just go and give it a try, and while you're at it....take me too. read more

The chimichanga lunch special is very good and inexpensive. I got the carnitas and my friend got chicken. I think the chicken was much better and will get that next time. When you're driving down Manazanita just look for a Mexican food sign. The "Urbano's" part is super small! read more

Good, Authentic Cuisine with great customer service. My husband and I love this restaurant. The customer service is superb. The food is great, and is certainly a value. It is authentic cuisine, and family oriented. The lunch specials are a great deal, and do NOT skimp on portions. I always have leftovers from Urbano's. From some of these poor reviews on here, I must mention this. If you are unsatisfied with your meal, the staff is more than happy to replace it for you, ESPECIALLY if it is not up to your liking. This is a very customer service oriented restaurant. Definitely give Urbano's a try! read more

Being of mexican roots i know good mexican food when I see it and eat it. This place was shitty in all sense of the word. I was charged 35 bucks for 2 regular burritos and 1 special plate. The burritos were filled with hella beans, rice, and barely any meat and guacamole. The special plate barely had anything to really say 'geez this was a great plate' Not worth the 35 dollars. First and only time I'll be there. I was hopeful, but they simply did not succeed in making me feel like going back there. read more

This place was awful!!! My good girlfriend and I decided to go out for some Menudo early Sunday morning. This place has a big sign out front that says "NOW SERVING MENUDO". We walked into this very dusty restaurant and were greeting by a waiter that looked like he was very disappointed that we were their. He brought us chips and very bland salsa and a couple of menus. I asked to order a bowl of Menudo, his response was... "no, nobody made it last night"...... UM okay :-/.... The I asked for a Mr Pibb soda, he said "we don't have Mr Pibb whoever did the menu made it wrong"...... Obviously...... At this point we are pretty annoyed, but wait theirs more!.. I went to eat another chip and their was mold on our chips!!!! No joke. We paid for our drinks and walked out. He must have cared less that we were their because when we said we were leaving his response was "okay" without even looking at us. Terrible terrible terrible. And way gross! read more

Fantastic!! This place never disappoints. Food is always fresh, flour tortillas are hand made, food is cooked with love. Even when I trip them up with a cocktail order...they made it to perfection. It was a Bloody Maria, made with tequila instead of vodka..absolutely keep this in the lunch rotation... read more

Wow. How did this place get so many stars? The dinner tasted reheated from day before. Our "special" dinner was more of a soup than anything edible. Say we finished a 1/3 then threw the towel in. Much better places out there. The waiter didn't even ask how the food was, he saw a full plate and just took it away. Odd place. read more

I tried urbanos Mexican food last night. It was outstanding ! I had a coupon for 2 dinners for 14.99. I expected the food to be good but this was great! They could charge more and people would pay it. Don't let the price fool you. The food is the best Mexican food I have had yet! You have to try it! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but you lose if you don't go inside! read more

Worst worst worst place ive ever been. Terrible food. Terrible service. Water tasted like bleach, food tasted gnarly, immediately made us feel disgusting. Their credit machine didnt work and they wanted to hold our id's to go get cash out for nasty overpriced food when the credit machine is their fault??? Repeat myself this is worst place ever. read more
