Look at other reviews and ask: are they giving low rating due to food/quality/flavor or based on something arbitrary.
Staff unable to take a phone order in English? For me, thats a sign I’m probably about to have some great food.

I’ve been back here 3 times now. Every type of meat they have served is so damn tasty. Get a taco, it’ll be stacked with meat, and there’s nothing to cover up the flavor. It’s tortilla, meat, and if you want, onion cilantro and some salsa. I like to get burritos but have done tacos too just to try the different meats and the seasonings used.

For this type of restaurant, small counter ordered burrito shop, this is the best Sacramento has to offer.

If you doubt trying this place due to other reviews, again, double check those ratings and see if you agree with their comments.
I can’t imagine this place getting less than 4 stars if based on actual food and value.

I ordered quesadilla with chicken. She explained the different meats they had. She let me try the pork. They were friendly. I think one day I needed a fork but I wasn't buying their items just needed an utensil.

I ordered and paid for a super burrito (pollo), what I got was a regular carnitas burrito. It had no Super meaning no sour cream or avocado. Because I ordered it to go, I didn't realize the error until I was long gone. Totally disappointed I didn't get what I ordered and paid for.

Yummm and good price!

My relatives like their food. I never tried it but I did go order inside for them once and did not like the service or atmosphere.

Food good but they need to do better on customer service. I eat here a lot every other time I call to place order not able to because the person doesn’t speak English. Then they close @ 6pm, who closes this early? Some people not even off til 6. Think about extending your hrs……

Tacos weren’t bad but I can definitely tell the difference between their other locations (Hayward and Redwood City) and this one mainly cause of tortillas, please was clean and the ladies were very helpful and friendly. Outside atmosphere is a sketchy( homeless people)
