50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Sacramento

“Love this place, good food!“

“the pozole is off the hook burritos are great specialty dishes are awesome“

“Wow it's been 20 yrs. Since my dad passed. We no longer have Luis's which I'm sry I grew up with and loved. So we go for some authentic mexican. We had crispy beef tacos, cheese enchiladas. And 3 enchilads beef. Chicken and cheese. It was just awful. Tortillas were store bought and extra charge, sauce and salsa for chips tasted like out of a jar or can. Beans were good.Waiter was surly felt not one smile beneath that mask.(I saw the black girl's comment) We are white if that helps) Service was fast. Ambiance is great but I was just really cravin some good authentic mexican. We won't be back.left most of our food on the plate. $79.00 for 3 of us.“

“Excellent service too!!!!“

“Excellent food, excellent service, priced just right, clean. I’m there at least once a week!“

“Our group of eight was searching for a sit-down Mexican restaurant with an open kitchen after 9 PM and found Jalapeños. We decided to give it a try, and the service was excellent—helpful and attentive staff. I sampled four different tacos, all of which were delicious, and the margaritas were fresh and flavorful. Overall, we had a great time, and I’d consider returning to explore more of the menu.“

“The food there is excellent, great customer service 👍😀“

“loved the menudo like the cute little design“

“I tried the chorizo burrito and it was absolutely delicious! It was packed with flavorful in-house chorizo, scrambled eggs, grilled bell peppers, and onions — all perfectly balanced and not greasy at all. Every bite was full of flavor. I also loved that they have a salsa bar, which really lets you customize your meal. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-try spot in Sacramento — highly recommend“

“Great food and excellent customer service.“

“This place is a three in one place of magic! Bakery, grocery store & deli. Line out the door of the deli, you know it’s gonna be good! Only took about 5 min to get helped out. Food is fresh and delicious every time. I drive all the way from Roseville to get food here.“

“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!“

“This place rocks! I had been to the Elk Grove location multiple times in the past, and this is quite possibly even better. Food is fantastic, great salsa bar, and everyone working is very nice. Been in a few times so far, and definitely coming back!

Carnitas super burrito, steak a la Mexicana, Chile rellenos, wet carne asada burrito, ceviche tostadas, tostadas de camaron, and guacamole have all been hits with me and mine.

Brother came from Oregon to visit, blew his mind!“

“I love this place. Come over and decide for yourself. Anthony Bourdain would want you to.“

“My family and I have had the most wonderful experiences at Vallejo's. The atmosphere for dining is one of the best. The staff are so kind, and the owners go out of their way to speak to their customers. When my father passed away in 2018, the Vallejo's family surprised us with catering at his funeral. They fed over 500 people, and didn't charge our family one penny for the food. They have also catered for various family functions, including graduation events. The food is amazing and is definitely worth trying.“

“I’ve been lucky enough to have seen this taqueria from the first day they opened, in Campbell, Ca. which was the original location prior to moving to the Sacramento area. The food is prepared by a family who pours just the right amount of love into each dish. For me, I fell in love with the food the first day, then I fell in love with the family. Mom, Dad, Sons, and Sister(their daughter always called me brother and I called her sister❤️) all knew me by first name basis. I’d take orders from the business located in our complex and order 10 burritos at a time and always left with a free burrito for myself. I gained over 50lbs eating their food because it was the best around. Over the past 25-30years they’ve been in business, I’ve made the trek to Sacramento to see the family and eat their amazing food multiple times. Stop in and try the carne asada super burrito! -Frank aka Ponchito“

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

“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.“

“Everything is home made, from tortillas, tortilla chips (best I’ve had in Sac), home made salsa. Their food is delicious, and freshly made; their service is wonderful. Norma and her husband, the owners, also work to make sure their customers are happy and satisfied. We look forward to returning on January 7, 2026. Please join us. You’ll be glad you did.

“Great place to eat some authentic Latino food! plus the service is great and so welcoming. Definitely a place to go to.“

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

“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.“

“Great enchiladas and craft cocktails.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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.“

“I was next door at the tax office and decided to try Agave mexican restaurant for the first time. I'm was extremely pleased with the authentic food . it was so delicious. home made salsa and horchata. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.“

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

“It's a real deal authentic Mexican restaurant but the enchiladas they had on the Wednesday special we're really really skimpy and only had cheese inside of them no meat... You guys should really rethink that because you're saving a couple of pennies but I don't see you competing in my mind next time I'm in Sacramento for a place to go eat. Yeah the enchilada was ridiculous.“

“I always feel like I was in Mexico!“

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

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

“great food“

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

“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 ceviche in town and price“

“One of the top three burritos of my life, no question. Juicy, flavorful meat, perfect balance, and wrapped up in a warm, fluffy tortilla that holds everything together without falling apart. The price is right, the food is great, and you can’t ask for more from a spot like this. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a seriously good burrito.“

“Everything is delicious molcajete is very delicious camarones ala diabla Menudo tacos homemade tortillas“

“Best tortas and tacos we had in Sacramento.“

“I’ve been to El Cantaro in Monterey about 10 times! I’m looking forward to going to the Sacramento version of this restaurant today! That has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I love the fact that it doesn’t say vegan plant-based and all that stuff everywhere. It’s basically just a Mexican restaurant that happens to be Vegan. Can’t wait to come and visit!“

“Muy delicioso su sazón Muy recomendado Riquísima comida“

“I definitely recommend this place best birria tacos in Sacramento and the service has been excellent 👍👍💯“

“This places deserves a 10 star alone just for the generous AMOUNT of beans and rice they gave me when I ordered through door dash. I also ordered just a burrito with rice and beans on the side and they gave THIS MUCH like wow. Food was amazing btw! Please go here ! They deserve all the love“

“ordered the quesabirria taco plate and my friend got a large burrito.. everything was absolutely delicious. The tortillas tasted homemade and made the food even better. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, and the service was very kind and attentive. We also ordered two horchatas, which were freshly made and so good. On top of that, we received complimentary tortilla chips with a variety of salsa options. Overall, a great experience and definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“Food was awesome, service is great. Can’t wait to hit this spot up again. Can’t go wrong with any of the meat.“

“I know I put a 5 for food and I would be lying as I have never had an item of food here. I have heard good things but I am always here for a cold one with the boys. Which this place is awesome for. Plenty of seating (soon to be more) TVs everywhere. Great selections of beers. Wonderful selections of drinks. Staff is fantastic. It is my new go to spot here in Natomas.“

“Stopped there for breakfast and had a breakfast burrito loaded with ham,eggs,bean,cheese and a toasted flour tortilla. My significant other had 2 chicken taco's with rice and a squirrel. the condiment bar had every sauce you could think of. The restaurant was spotless and we were great and served in very short order. We both thoroughly enjoyed are meal and will definitely return in the near future!!!“

“This place is straight into the point. And get you food and it's good. I make special trips from the Bay area to go up to elk Grove fish tacos and other things. I've been here twice and I haven't had a bad meal yet. I will be back. My grandson loves this price. He's into the bean and cheese burrito“

“The alpastor is super flavorful! The torta is sizable and the ingredients taste fresh, the bread was soft and soaked up the alpastor well. The salsa is absolute fire. Horchata was less flavorful or sweet, but that made it a lot much more of a refreshing beverage vs a sweet drink like a lot of places do. Will definitely be here again“

“Jumbos tacos are the bomb and now you can buy the sauce…. And Facebook tracks me…they should be telling you about the sauce…“

“Had an excellent dinner last night. The pescado oaxaqueño and maya margarita were topnotch. Rodrigo was friendly, knowledgable, and provided excellent service. This is a must visit stop when in Sacramento.“
