Pozole
Ss S.

The pozole WAS DEE-LICIOUS! Savory and ultra comforting. They give a perfect amount of meat. It was a big serving so I took half home. The service was quick, attentive and present. It's family-owned. I would recommend this spot.

Our 2nd visit and the food was delicious, very clean and friendly owner and staff. We went when they 1st opened and it was good but on this visit it was great.

Came here to celebrate my birthday with co-workers on a weekday. I had high hopes from the reviews but was generally disappointed. It is like a taqueria where you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. I ordered the Steak Ranchero. It was good but bland and the rice was dry. My boss wanted to just order a single Quesabirria taco, but they said no because it is only sold as a plate of 2 for $12 so we shared. That was just meh. They were not packed or juicy. I've tried a lot of quesabirria and these might be the worst for taste and value. Everyone in our party had the same sentiments on their meals that it was bland and just okay. The best part was that the chips n salsa bar was fresh, place was clean and the service was very friendly. They were pricey for just "okay" so probably will not be back but happy that I tried them out.

Birria Tacos and Al Pastor tacos.
James R.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Residing in the guts of an old Denny's is a new-ish Mexican restaurant. I have been systematically trying all the Mexican places in West Sac so this place finally came up. I ordered the quesabirria tacos as well as some Al Pastor tacos. The person behind the counter was very nice. I asked what was better, the Al pastor or the chile verde. He said the Al pastor was better so I went with that. The chips and salsa is free here. The regular hot salsa was very tasty. The other hot salsa was like a roasted chile (not chipotle) salsa which was extremely salty so hard to enjoy. The chips were not salted at all ( maybe to compensate for the very salty salsa). The salsa verde was decent enough. The food came out quick but not suspiciously quick. The quesabirra tacos alone were pretty good and flavorful. The consume was on the bland side and not very red; more of a murky brown. After putting all the lime juice in it, it was better but certainly not the best in the Sac area. The Al Pastor tacos......oooof. Not good. Dry and bland. Which is kind of a crazy accomplishment for Al pastor as it should be marinated and juicy. The meat here had almost no color. The fact that the person behind the register (who I think is the owner or manager as he came out to talk to diners, which was a nice touch) recommended it was a let down. Seems this place really relies on its happy hour and micheladas so maybe the food isn't the focus for them. I don't think I'd return.

Happy hour menu: Mon-Friday 4-8pm Beers $2.99 Michelada $4.99 Appetizers (nachos, quesadillas, shrimps a la Cora style appetizer size etc) 50% Taco Tuesday $1.99 ALL DAY! Clean restaurant and friendly service! Love their salsa bar.

Love this place!!

My new favorite place! The atmosphere! The food! And the service is on point! The best chili verde in town!

Pork tamales
Cin V.

Lots of parking. Excellent customer service. Perfect decor for a taqueria. Lots of indoor seating. Love the self serve salsa and chip bars. Love that they have a hand washing station not inside the bathroom. The tamales were a decent size and came out hot and fresh (though a little drier than I would have liked). This was our first time here and won't be our last.

Birria (goat) plate
Brian G.

This place is pretty good for a quick Mexican meal. They have some interesting offerings such as birria with actual goat, fish plate, and shrimp cocktails. So far I had the goat birria and a chicken burrito, and I enjoyed both. The prices are not bad and portions are generous. Complimentary chips and salsa are included. Their salsas are very tasty, the spicy ones are actually spicy. Food comes out super fast so great for lunch.

Huge quesabirria taco with the consomé to go with it
Steven C.

West Sacramento's newest Mexican eatery! Some might say there's too many but you know what I noticed? They never shut down like other places. That says a lot about what the residents want and enjoy in the area. Came here for a nice lunch with my mother. You order at the front counter and take a number, taqueria style. They give you your drinks and also a small boat and containers for complimentary chips and salsa. Really good chips and salsas. The chips had a great crunch and salted perfectly while each salsa had its own flavor profile from mild to extremely hot lol. The workers here were constantly checking if we needed anything and asked if we liked our food. The answer was YES! They had Spanish music playing in the background as we sat and talked. I went with two crispy tacos combo, asada and pastor as the meats. They left something to be desired but the beans were really good and the rice was my least favorite, it could've been fluffier. My mom went with the two pork tamale combo. These were really good! Masa was tasty and there was a lot of pork in the tamale. We hardly used our forks as we used the tortilla chips to scoop everything up lol. I ended up ordering two quesabirria tacos as well because the table next to me ordered them and they looked delicious. They were full of delicious shredded beef and huge. The consomé was so flavorful. Those two tacos alone were $12. Prices here were reasonable. Def plan to go back and try their mariscos menu and also a wet burrito.

quesabirrias tacos
Elena E.

I got 3 quesabirrias and 4 tacos, which came out to $42. The food was well-seasoned and pretty good overall. The quesabirrias had a little cheese on the outer tortilla, but nothing extraordinary. The tacos de pastor and carne asada were decent, just your average tacos. Overall, it's okay--definitely a bit overpriced, and it leans more toward a white-washed flavor profile. Good for those who like that style. Staff were friendly and attentive, few people inside eating, and chill.

Side of rice
Franny Z.

My rating is just for the torta. I thought it was just okay. My kids liked the side of rice. The salsas were okay too. The guys I ordered burritos for thought they were good but on the smaller size.

Wet burrito, Michoacan enchiladas and birria quesadilla tacos
Alex F.

This place is it. The tucked in the back, hard to find place that is truly everything you wanted and needed it to be. In a time where everything is thrown together and slopped up and overcharged, this is a refreshing change of pace. This place in my mind is authentic, genuine, and homey. Food: home made salsa with so many delicious selections at the salsa bar. Not to mention freshly made tortilla chips too. We got the wet burrito and I got the Michoacan enchiladas and we shared the birria tacos. The enchiladas were so flavorful and tender and everything I expected it to be. I got lengua and al pastor for my choices of meat and it was perfect! She said she burrito was so tender and flavorful as well. And this place was our first place to try the birria tacos and it was amazing! So tender and juicy and paired perfectly with the consume. The service was kind and fast. I could hear the chefs singing in the kitchen, which to me is always a good sign. They also had a huge selection of agua fesca drinks. The ambiance is cute and quaint and just very homey and genuine. This place opened not too long ago, but the quality of food, the pricing of the menu, and the selection of everything really impressed me. This is my Mexican food spot now and I'll won't be going back anywhere else. This place is it. Whether it be for a date, a normal dinner, or just something to satisfy your craving, this place does it all.

Birria quesa tacos

Had lunch today with a large group of ladies celebrating two birthdays. The restaurant was really attentive and helpful with our group. Food was delicious! I had the birria tacos.

Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

As we are in…read moreour mid-late thirties, we have been looking for somewhere we can go that doesn't give a club vibe or a lot of riff-raff, but we can enjoy an adult environment for cocktails or beers. This place hit every weekend interest on our list. Good drinks, great food, and such. Good atmosphere. Even though we were on a date night, even with kids and families running around and enjoying themselves the energy was perfect. We enjoyed the live music, the beer and cocktails we enjoyed, the pizza was yummy, and we could relax enough to have great conversation without having to worry about someone around us causing chaos or acting out. The setup is nicely curated with options for drinks and food. Tables for sitting and dining or fire pits and lawn chairs for leisure. The space was clean and easy to navigate. Check-in was a breeze and no pressure. Overall very very good experience. This will be a place we come back to for future date nights or bring our kiddos with us for special events. It's family-friendly and comfortable without feeling overwhelmed with kids for those who are on a kid-free outing. Idk how they manage to have this balanced, but they do and it's great! See yall soon!

They check your ID as you walk in and we had a reserved table. You can order food and beverages with a QR code at the table or walk up to the bar or kitchen ordering area. They also host food trucks some nights. We ordered and our server was absolutely atrocious. She botched our order and had the audacity to ask if I ordered correctly. I attempted to show her and she walked off. She ended up coming back with even more attitude and I told her she was fired for the night from serving us. She didn't have a care in the world since she was tipped well to do bare minimum work. The manager offered to refund the gratuity; I'm not that type of person, but we're in no rush to go back and it's a place we all enjoy. To add insult to injury she was drinking at the bar and didn't have a care in the world. Not a great look for her or the business. The pizza was pretty good as always. The chicken wings were a bit overcooked but still tasty. They likely would've been even better had they been cooked properly. My little one enjoyed her burger and fries. My wife enjoyed her margaritas and the little ones enjoyed their Shirley Temples. It was a disappointing visit; hopefully next time will be better. I'm a notoriously good tipper and I'm starting to detest tipping ahead on these apps and kiosks as it has lead to mediocrity at so many places. It's gotten to the point where I've started considering carrying cash and not tipping ahead. Hopefully Drake's and their not so smart employee learned their lesson.

The food was bomb, especially the brunch burger -- genuinely a standout. The fries were really good too, no notes there. Staff were awesome and service was excellent the whole visit, keeping the energy going along with everything else. Pricing was a pleasant surprise -- $12 for a whiskey on the rocks is a solid deal, and the food was reasonably priced across the board too. Between the virtual golf, great food, good drinks at a fair price, and staff that keep the vibe going, this is an easy recommend. Come check this place out -- you won't regret it.

We were seated and had a server come up to the table immediately. He showed us where to find the Happy Hour menu. We were kind of bummed because there were only 3 drinks on the menu and then it turned out that the food menu was limited. We ended up paying full price for a Salted Caramel espresso martini. My friend ordered 2 blackberry margaritas. For food, she ordered the asada tacos and I ordered the fish tacos. We shared a house salad. Service was great, but we found out afterwards that they were out of the peppercorn vinaigrette. The chipotle lime vinaigrette was tasty, so it worked out, but how are you out of a dressing at the beginning of the evening? We were so pleased that they split the house salad into 2 bowls for us. It was a great salad. Both taco plates were tasty. We enjoyed them. The amount of curtido on the side was not the same and I could have totally gone for more! Our servers were very attentive. We got our check quickly and were able to split the check easily. The bathroom mirrors are SUPER cute!

Thankfully there was still parking in the lot and seats inside. I was happily surprised there were still seats available as it was the USA game. The place was busy, but not packed. There were still a few seats at the bar when we arrived and a couple of tables available. It was the perfect place to arrive late to watch the game. This has turned over many times since we've lived here. Now it's a Mexican restaurant and bar. It's cleaned up well since we were here last. It has a very cute entrance. It has a couch and 2 shelving units on the sides of the couch. There is a sign above the couch that says Tequila Weill never break your heart. Veggie Taco Salad $14.75: Fired flour tortilla, pinto beans, grilled vegetables, avocado, sour cream, roasted corn & greens. It was very tasty. We loved the grilled vegetables. They were fresh and hot in the bottom of the taco salad on top of the pinto beans. The sour cream was drizzled on top of the avocados. Under that was a little bit of lettuce. There could have been a lot more lettuce. I would order it again. Mulita $7.55 regular price. $5 during happy hour, we sadly missed happy hour by minutes: stuffed corn tortilla, choice of meat, melted cheese ,with sour cream and guacamole on the side. I don't recall there being guacamole on the side, I think they put it in it. The Mulita was chuck full of meat, it was overflowing. It was very tasty. Though very messy. It's hard to eat with your hands alone. We cut it up into small pieces and ate it with our hands. We'd order it again. The ambiance was good. People were cheering for the USA. It was a fun environment. Subdued compared to other watch parties we've been too, but it was still nice.
