Small on the outside, small on the inside, HUGE on flavor!
With only six tables inside plus a few tables outside, this clean, southwestern restaurant is compact. Their food is attractive and delicious and they serve ample portions reasonably priced. It's an East Sac institution now open evenings and Saturdays. Choose your times to avoid the crowds--its a hit!
I love this place. Chile Verde. All day. Do yourself a favor and get a side of potatoes with sour cream.
The salsa bar has what looks like a ketup bottle with an amazing hot sauce.
Bring cash or check. Eat and leave. There is not a lot of parking or seating, so it's not the best place to sit and hang or for very large groups, but 6 or less is good.
I went here early in the morning and ordered a machaca breakfast burrito with cream and cheese. Those two things were a dollar extra each. The burrito in total cost me $13, which I'd say is pricey. It had great flavor but for the price, I was expecting something slightly larger. The place was clean and the food tasted fresh, but I am giving it 4 stars due to the fact that you cannot pay with a card, only cash. The woman working the counter was kind and she made me feel welcome. I will come back here again to try out more dishes.
Had our last meal of an epic trip in Cali here & it was so delicious. A highlight among all the food we tried from LA to Sacramento. Ordered way too much and it was totally worth it.
My favorite thing to do when I travel is find the closest family style Mexican food. Must have a salsa bar.! This place did not disappoint and the best part it is walking distance.
Yes. Just yes. This is an amazing local favorite that you might not hear much about. If you’re looking for one of the hidden secrets of Sacramento and food, this is one of them for sure! I love this Mexican food. It’s easy to get to and you have loads of choices in food selection. My favorite is the chorizo breakfast burrito. You can’t go wrong with that. The staff is always so helpful, especially the owner. What a great place to check out. Also, be warned, this is a cash only establishment. Bring the money with you.
A hidden Sacramento gem. The staff is personable. The food never disappoints. It gets very busy for breakfast on Saturday but it's worth the wait. We love the Red Potatoe plate, polenta, and the Chile Verde for breakfast. For lunch or dinner we really like the Tamale bowl and the Chile Verde but look forward to trying more in the future.
Came here for a breakfast burrito, not a fan of pork; the gentleman working there advised I get the Colorado Burrito. Couldn't ask for a better breakfast burrito..perfectly marinated beef with ample amounts of egg, potatoes and vegetables. The taste was so good I had no choice but to savor each bite... so much so I was 10minutes late to my job. So yeah 10 out of 10
Hands down favorite breakfast spot in town!
Love the "Little Cactus Special" and the pancakes are fantastic!
