“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.“

“We've been going to Centro since the night it opened and Timothy Busfield was making margaritas in the bar! It never disappoints; food is delicious, dishes evolve with the times and the seasons, service is excellent and friendly, and the vibe and ambience is fun. We always have an enjoyable time.“

“I've been coming to Los Jarritos for years, and it never disappoints. This family-owned gem has become a staple for me when I crave authentic, fresh, and flavorful Mexican food. The staff is always friendly, making you feel like part of the family.
What really sets them apart is the variety on the menu...there's something for everyone, and it’s all reasonably priced. The food is consistently high-quality and made with fresh ingredients. They have unlimited chips and salsa, and they offer over five freshly made salsas to choose from. I can’t get enough of them!
Los Jarritos is the place to go if you want delicious Mexican food without breaking your wallet. I recommend this spot to anyone in Sacramento looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and unbeatable value.“

“I wish they accepteded card. This place is cash only and when you order over the phone, they can't tell you how much your total is going to be a head of time. I arrived with $50 in my hand and asked the lady if she could tell me how much it was going to be. She looked at my tab and said about $40, she rang my order and it came out to $61 and change. Oh well damn, now I have to find a place with an ATM. The inconvenience was inconvenient! The smoke shop next door has an ATM but conveniently it's out of service. I went to 711 and took out $20. When I arrived she had a long line and she was waiting for me to arrive to pay her. I don't know, I feel like the whole thing can be avoided if they would just update their system and the fact that it's a cash only they could find a way to let customers know how much cash they need to have on hand.“

“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.“

“Very friendly staff, mom and pop owned business. Thoughtful and eager to deliver you a delicious meal. I had the juevos rancheros. I stopped eating corn about a year ago but I splurged and went for the rancheros. It was well worth it. Excellent ambiance and salsa bar. And did I mention how friendly the staff are...“

“What a gem! Hiding in plain sight! I got a shredded chicken burrito (all lean meat) and a carne asada taco for around 7$ WHAT?? The carne asada was thinly shredded, tender and delicious not like cheap beef. No gristle or chunks of fat. Also it was BIG for the price 3 stars for atmosphere only because it's a little grocery store in a modest older building. The people working the counter were warm and welcoming. If you want your money to go further and still get some good authentic food check it out. To go/takeout only, great fast stop for a meal!“

“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.“

“Excellent every time! A family favorite of ours. The new owners are just as wonderful as the old owners and there’s always a genuinely warm greeting when we come in. The food is amazing. It’s one of the few places where you can confidently say everything on the menu is great. I wish they took cards, but I understand why they likely don’t, but really it doesn’t matter in a place as good as this.“

“The ratings do this place justice. It is tried, tested, and well deserved. Even my spanish friends who barely speak english know of it and highly recommend it and it's regarded as the best Mexican food restaurant in the greater Sacramento area by a lot of people that I know. I only go for the food but they have a full bar and lot's of tv's. The food is the best part, as it should be in any restaurant; it's why we go. It's taco truck level quality with the whole restaurant experience and when I say taco truck quality food I mean that level of quality you'd expect from a single person who's worked on the same equipment for decades. It's clean, has bathrooms, really nice employees and that special mucho beuno absolutely bomb food. The menu is huge! And honestly, the bigger and more complex menu a restaurant has, typically, the lower quality food you'll find there but this place is the exception to that rule. Go there, try it, and then you'll know.
Parking: Plenty of parking although I wouldn't be surprised if the lot was full seeing how good this place is. If so, easily park on the other side of northgate.
Wheelchair accessibility: I can't see why a wheelchair user couldn't get to it. Wide open and level, flat sidewalk out front.“

“Stopped by here for a late meal. We both had the quesadilla burrito. Food was great, but I was particularly struck by the flavor of the refried beans; seasoned perfectly.
Even though we arrived just before the kitchen closed, the staff were very friendly and courteous.
If I remember correctly, 8 big screen TVs circled the dining area/bar. Several different sports channels were on, but muted. The ambiance Mexican music just felt better anyways.“

“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“

“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!“

“I've been here a lot of times now, tried everything on the menu at least once. Great service, peaceful atmosphere, delicious food and just an amazing place all together. Highly recommend this place, won't be disappointed, satisfaction guaranteed. There is also outdoor seating, seating inside is very small but it's worth the experience for delicious food.“

“Last week I went to OMG Cocina because I was craving some Mexican food, and wow—what a delightful surprise! I walked in expecting to grab some tacos, but when I spotted black pozole on the specials board, I just had to try it (I’m a huge pozole fan!). I usually stick to red pozole, so this was a totally new adventure for my taste buds. From the very first spoonful to the last, I was grinning—the rich flavors, the perfect blend of spices, and that incredible mix of roasted peppers with a hint of citrus had my taste buds dancing with joy. Absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be going back, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of their menu!“

“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!“

“I come here for lunch/dinner everytime I'm in Sacramento. This is by far, the best place for vegetarian tacos and I haven't had salsa this good ever! Friendly service, I will always come back!
Vegetarian options: Taco options without meat, pretty sure almost everything can be ordered without meat. Salsa is THE BEST!“

“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“

“This is a place to go if you want true mexican food. First off, the dipping sauce is amazing - It's truly fresh and addicting. The dishes I bought ranged between $15-$28 no drinks. I've been eating here for pretty much every lunch, and each dish tastes unique and flavorful. I had 2 supreme burritos, which come under 15 bucks each time, was very good as well. I did encounter whoever wrapped my burttio wrapped it really weird the 2nd time, but it was still good. I will say that it is pricy to an extent based on what you are getting, but the taste is 100% there. You will be really full after each meal and may take some home. This is definitely my go to restruant for right now and may not change for a while.“

“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.“
