Chilaquiles are bomb! Tacos are legit, tortillas a mano, everything fresh! Don’t skip on the aguas frescas !!! Hands down one of the best Mexican spots in Sac!
I’m now just getting to write a review but this is my boyfriend and I favorite spot. They offer weekly special that usually are priced under $10-$15. They’re so quick, super friendly and attentive. Never had an issue with food or service at all. That’s the main reason why I love coming here because they’re consistent with food and service. It’s become one of our regular spots. We always get torta, chile verde, enchilada, birria bowl, and tacos. They offer agua frescas that can use more flavor but I still enjoy it. They have free chips and offer a variety of sauces, salsas and sides. The place fits a lot of people but they can become very busy but even during rush hour, I’ve never waited more than 20mins for food. I love supporting this place and enjoy eating it at least two to three times a month. They have outdoor patio seating which I haven’t sat at yet. They do offer alcohol. The decor is simple with Mexican decorations and Mexican music blasting. Love it here. The only thing I would fix is the spice level of the hot sauces but other than that they do offer jalapeños and stuff. (Same review by me on Yelp)
We loved everything- it’s important to notice that the dishes are very big and we didn’t finish it all (we were 2 persons)
I went with my dad and uncle. The food was amazing! I had the spicy prawns. The prawns were so good. I feel like I can eat more. I gave it 5 stars because of the aspects of the place and food. I would definitely recommend going here for anyone who’s Indian or other nationality. This is the best place for the food and service
The employees are amazing. They are so friendly and when my order was wrong they remade it with no problem. At the end of the night they provided food to a homeless man and one employee took extra time to walk an individual out to the car as he had intellectual disabilities. This place won my business just for the acts of kindness I saw tonight. Amazing.
