“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let me tell you right now — Javi at Jalisco’s Mexican Restaurant is not just a man. He is a culinary experience. A flavor deity. A benevolent food wizard sent from another dimension to bless us mere mortals with tacos and enlightenment.

The moment we sat down, we felt… watched. But not in a creepy way — in a *divine clairvoyance* way. Javi materialized from the kitchen like a spicy archangel with a spatula and asked, “You guys hungry?” Before my boyfriend could even open his mouth, Javi read his aura and said, “You want al pastor, huh?”

EXCUSE ME, SIR, HOW DID YOU KNOW?
It wasn’t even on the menu. And yet five minutes later, he emerged holding a plate of al pastor so glorious it looked like the sun itself had seasoned it.

The horchata? I am 99% sure there’s witchcraft involved. It tasted like childhood nostalgia, cinnamon dreams, and the tears of angels who just watched a telenovela finale. I took one sip and immediately reconsidered my life path. I would trade government secrets for another glass - thank glob I don’t have to, Jaliscos is right around the corner.

Then — THE CHIPS AND SALSA SAMPLER.
Oh. My. Jalapeño.
Each salsa had a personality.One was flirty. One was dangerous. One whispered, “Don’t tell your cardiologist.” I wanted to applaud. I wanted to cry. I called my mom to tell her I’d found purpose again.

And Javi? This man is the star, director, and entire cast of the show. He serves, cooks, taste-tests, and probably astral-projects between tables to make sure everyone’s happy. He’s humble, too — which feels illegal at his level of power.

If Yelp allowed more than five stars, I’d give him a constellation. Long live Javi. Long live Jalisco’s. 🌮🔥“

“First and foremost, the customer service is amazing. thanks to Jenny that she takes care of everything with a genuine smile. She Special .!!! food was great, aguas frescas ( melon ) was delicious and the right amount of sweetness. I'm definitely going to be a regular at this place. !!!“

“I been to 5 mexican restaurants in the Rancho area, and this is our favorite spot. Meats are well seasoned, food is really good and prices are pretty reasonable. Every time I been there,.customer service has been great! I recommend their birria Thursdays!“

“I loved it!! So good!!! Thanks to this beautiful couple Toby and Jack!! Always take me to the best burrito shop“

“The food and service here are fantastic! Everything is packed with flavor, and I always enjoy coming back. My only note is that if you’re expecting a typical super burrito size, it’s a bit smaller than you might anticipate. For the price, I wish it were a bit more filled. Still, a great spot overall!“

“Awesome and authentique Oaxacan Mexican food. Their quesadilla uses hand made thick tortilla! Add shrimp or carnitas.
This time had shrimp quesadilla! So good. And do not pass up the red and green mole with chips! And their salsa is great also! If you like really hot, ask for a bit of the habenero salsa! Their mexican rice is fantastic!“

“Generous portions, perfectly cooked shrimp, and flavors that hit every note, pure magic! This restaurant is my mom's favorite (she and her bestie are regulars), and I was lucky enough to catch them before they left so I could place a to-go order. My go-to test at any Mexican restaurant is the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (garlic butter shrimp), and I was thrilled to see it on the menu here. Ordering takeout is always a gamble since you're not at the restaurant if something isn't right but I believe quality should be consistent whether dining in or taking food to go. Thankfully, this place delivered in every way. The shrimp were succulent, large, not skimpy, and cooked perfectly. The garlic butter was rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the sautéed onions balanced it all out. Even the refried beans stood out (something many places surprisingly get wrong). The rice was fairly standard...on the drier side but when mixed with the beans and that delicious garlic butter from the shrimp, it turned into a whole new level of flavor. That's how I made my burritos (that's how I eat this plate, I have to wrap it all up in a flour tortilla. Let me tell you, it was absolute magic! Portions were generous, I could tell the meal was thoughtfully prepared, and every bite was pure satisfaction. The only downside was the styrofoam packaging (I'm not a fan of that), but it didn't take away from how incredible the food itself was. This restaurant easily earns my seal of approval. I'll definitely be ordering from here again because when I say the food was amazing with a capital A, I mean it!“

“Delicious and authentic food!“

“Great food, friendly staff great atmosphere“

“First time diners, Fajitas were outstanding and could be shared by folks with smaller appetite. Taquitos combo was also delicious with a little spicy kick. Dined on late Sunday afternoon not crowded, someone was sing Karaoke, which was a little bit louder than necessary. Restaurant was clean. The staff was attentive and friendly, will come back“

“I always feel like I was in Mexico!“

“One of our favorites! Always a good time and good food… and I love the watermelon margarita- great on a hot day.“

“Once again, R Vida has first class service, plus exceptionally delicious food. The menu is extensive with many original Mexican recipes. Check out the tortilla soup! It is full of tender chicken in clear broth topped with cheese. We will be back soon!“

“just had the Fajitas Combo with Steak, Chicken & Shrimp. Great Value and absolutely delicious! Very generous portions. Comes with Rice & Beans also“

“My husband and I were looking for some great Mexican food and we just found it! The food was so fresh and delicious and we discovered that it is owned and operated by a mom and her son! She prepares the food and Apollo serves it with personality! Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for authentic Mexican food.“

“Best in town“

“Fun relaxing good energy great vibes and great food and drinks“

“First time eating there today. Local people recommended this restaurant. Great service, Delicious food!!!!! Will definitely be back!!!“

“I didn't like the food. hahaha just kidding. I loved very good food. But I loved Jennifer's attention more in Sacramento, very kind and sociable, I would definitely return for her attention. I leave 5 stars for her. thank you so much.“

“Everything met fairly standard expectations for a sit down Mexican restaurant.
Got the Jumbo Burrito, Al Pastor. This is a new favorite spot but unfortunately not close to where I live. Great portions and great flavor for the price. What more can you ask for? I came because I saw a review that it’s al pastor cooked legit off the trompo. I believe it, but did not confirm.

These days with street food prices at almost the same rate, might as well go somewhere that’s regulated, food safe, and provides nice service and atmosphere. $13.99 before tax for jumbo super burrito.“

“It's the type of restaurant that you order your food, pay and then the staff bring the food to your table. Since we were a larger party (6) we took longer for everyone to order. The staff was very polite, helpful and patient while answering all of our questions. They also were very accommodating with our add-ons or deleting items in our orders. The food came out quickly, was fresh, attractively plated and so delicious that we ended up ordering additional food to go! If we're back in Citrus Heights, I definitely would like to eat here again!“

“The best part about this place? The staff! They have the most wonderful hospitality and go the second and third mile for their customers. Once you walk in, you’re all comrades and family here. Everyone enjoys a great meal with good people.“

“The awesome mangonadas, homemade ice cream and fast and friendly service.“

“Great food! love the Pozole and the enchiladas! super friendly staff!! :D“

“Had some delicious food while watching live music. Ordered a bunch of food. Everything tasted great.“

“Fantastic food, great food match wine/sake list (and a sake sommelier) fi you are an oyster, sushi, ceviche fan, this is the spot.“

“Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with authentic Mexican flavors. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The menu is extensive, featuring everything from classic tacos and enchiladas to more unique dishes that showcase the richness of Mexican cuisine.

The food is consistently delicious, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The margaritas are a standout, perfectly mixed and refreshing. Service is generally attentive and friendly for the most part, though it can be a bit slow during peak hours.

Overall, Carmelita's delivers on taste and atmosphere, making it a solid choice for anyone craving quality Mexican food. A few small improvements in service would easily make this a 5-star experience.

Parking: Parking can be hard to come by. You'll probably have to park about 100 yards down“

“We absolutely love Zocalos & our favorite server is Kendyl! He always goes above & beyond in every way. We will request him every time. The food is incredible & the margaritas are sooooo good that we crave them.“

“I enjoyed eating here when I lived in the area and it was nice to stop by for a hungry bite again. They have a next level salsa bar and their plates are generously portioned. Prices have gone up noticeably since I last came here to enjoy some Mexican food. It's not quite the value that it was. Their plates used to be $13.99 and that's gone up to $17 for comparison. That said, they offer overall quality food.“

“Shrimp tostadas are delicious, all the food that I have tried is very good 😊 I recommend the quesabirrias too.“

“Michelle our waitress was amazing super helpful friendly, everything was dished out with a smile! Rockstar!!“

“Omg this place is BOMB. Born and raised in California, I have seriously high expectations when it comes to my Mexican food. As far as I am concerned, this state has the best food in the nation, and this place is on my list of why I think so. The food is excellent, and the people that work there are an absolute pleasure to do business with. I work around the corner, and have become addicted to getting three chicken tacos and a can of Coke almost every single day. It's an addiction that I don't think I can break. They're just too good. If you come to sacramento, you have absolutely got to try this place! I wish I could give it more than five stars!“

“Best tortas and tacos we had in Sacramento.“

“We visited Tres Rios by word of mouth and people telling us how great the food is. Stopped in today the food is excellent, service and atmosphere was very delicious. The staff was very thoughtful and helpful too.“

“best ever, people, food, patio.“
