    Fresh cabbage, steamed and chopped veggies, and delicious pork
    Karen C.

    I ordered delivery on GrubHub and the food is amazing! The packaging itself could be higher quality, but they did a great job of putting the right proportions in the bowl and it's exactly as it was described on GrubHub

    Organic Tofu Greens Bowl
    Crystal W.

    If I were to have a checklist of the meal I'd want to marry, this checked off my boxes. vegan gluten free healthy delicious I cannot praise how much this hit the spot. Fresh ingredients and quickly made. Ordered the organic Tofu Greens Bowl, added tofu, with an extra garlic sesame soy sauce dressing. I would order from their Oakland location when I worked in the bay and ecstatically floored they're in my hood. Service the same from the Bay to Sac. Fresh ingredients, gluten free, vegan options.

    Receipt but they didn't put any chicken although I added pork. Got pork only
    Nita R.

    Overall I would give them 4 stars my food was fresh, it was quick and timely. The pork was flavorful, enough salad to cover a few additional meals, if necessary. However, I will not give them a four because I added pork, which was an extra charge and then there was absolutely no chicken on my meal. I have the garlic key, lemon or something sauce. It was tangy and they gave you plenty. I'd probably try the spicy sauce next time. This is a pick up spot so you order your food and basically pick it up out of a locker. You don't actually get service from any particular person. We went inside and ordered at the kiosk, then went and sat back in the car. There are some CD individuals walking by but other than that I think with a lot of redevelopment things may get better and maybe they'll stay open later. There is no ambiance as you're just picking up your food from a locker. If I wanted something really healthy to eat that was tasty I would definitely go back again.

    Protein Lover Rice & Cabbage Bowl
    Jennifer C.

    I loved the protein lover rice bowl! I loved the mixture of different protein and all the veggies and love forbidden rice, it's my favorite rice! Lots of food and yummy dressing! I also order green smoothie too.... I will definitely order from here again!

    Wagyu rice bowl with garlic sesame soy sauce.

    4/5 Stars - Food was GREAT but because this is takeout only I'm giving the restaurant 1 less star. I suggest you try it. I ordered the wagyu rice bowl with the garlic sesame soy sauce. 5/5 Unfortunately take out will never be 100% fresh by the time you bite into it, but the meat was flavorful and tender. The rice was well cooked and filling and the added veggies made this dish taste and feel fresh. The garlic sesame sauce tasted like a sesame paste with soy sauce added. The sauce was good and they give a decent portion but I'll try another next time. I prefer a sit down restaurant with a comfortable, trendy atmosphere where you know the food is fresh to the table. So -1 star purely based on the fact that it is takeout only.

    Oh I'm a big fan of this place. It may become a problem. Was looking for something high in protein, and tasty, and this place did not disappoint. Super yummy blend of meats, veggies, and rice and definitely enough for more than one meal. Can't speak to service or ambience since this was a door dash situation. Good luck to this new business I'm sure you will do well!!

    While following another Sacramento social page, I stumbled onto Marias Paella & Empanadas. In one…read moreof the videos she was stirring up a huge pot of paella at the farmer's market. I listened carefully to her and was impressed by her enthusiasm. Weeks later I finally made my way by her shop. Not a lot of parking and normal for parts of Sacramento. A busy little section of town that could also be good for business. I was greeted kindly and professionally once inside. Small amounts of seating inside and a few out front. I didn't expect all the variety of empanadas they made. They were a bit smaller than I expected, but each of them were super delicioso! Now I want to make another trip back to the farmers market in Sac to pair it up with the paella. Totally looking forward to my next visit.

I had pretty high hopes that it would be pretty close to what I have had in Spain unfortunately that was not the case. I will say that the taste was not too bad. I would give it a 7/10. However, it was the texture of the rice. It was too mushy. The empanada was pretty good. The service was quick. It was a pretty small place, so I don't recommend coming here as a group- it's more of a take and go. May come here again and if I do will make sure to update.

Tasty, fresh, healthy, clean eating. Always a ton of food, I usually have plenty for 2 meals. I think I've tried every variation on the Mixto bowls. My favorite is probably the tofu, and sadly, my least favorite is the Carnitas, which is more like meh pulled pork, not much seasoning and not crispy. The diced tomatillos and pickled onions are tart and delicious and provide a nice contrast to the heavier elements. Usually add avocado as well. All the sauces are good. I always get the hot sauce, and generally both green and red. The green smoothie is tasty, hydrating and not too sweet. I love having this option downtown. It's nice to be able to get something relatively quickly that you don't feel bad about eating, and the cost is more than fair. I've seen a number of folks complain about the protein portions here. They aren't huge, maybe 4 oz? That is plenty for me, particularly with the millet and beans, but if you're worried about having more protein, you can add on extra when you place your order, it's not terribly expensive to do so.
