“I can’t believe I was the only one there. This place should be packed!! I got the “carnitas” and the crispy tacos. Incredible! Vegan or not, you can’t go wrong. It was sooo good!Vegetarian options: All vegan but tastes like authentic mexican food.“
“Service excellencent. Cash or check only. No bueno Coffee tasty. Small cups though. Like larger cup so less refills Had chili Colorado w flour tortillas. Tortillas were hot hot hot! Tasted homemade Chili Colorado w papás had decent flavor. Not like I'm used to but good. I just wish there was more flavor to it and a tad more serving size. I marked down 1 star for no CC and small serving size. Good neighborhood staple“
“Amazing tacos i gotvthe quesabirrias and they were loaded with meat and cheese and nice and crispy tortillia flavor was 10/10. We also got the birria raman. It was amazing i even ordered one for me for later. Will defenatly come back and try other things on the “
“Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. I got a jumbo burrito with tripas that are so well cooked I got a crunch with every bite. A cocktail with great flavor and tacos of al pastor and cabeza that will have you craving more. If I'm ever in the neighborhood I will definitely go back.“
“Excellent food! Dined in with my partner on a Tuesday evening. The place was decently busy, both dine in and carry out. I started with two pupusa, one birria and one chicken. My partner had the bean and cheese and the Loroco flower and cheese pupusas. We were also given a side salad of what I'd call a slaw. It was delicious, sort of a spicy flavor and went well with my pupusas. I really enjoyed my burria pupusa and ordered another to round out my meal. The birria pupusas come with a consome that I thoroughly enjoyed. They also have two salsa/sauces they bring to the table and both are quite alright. I will certainly be back and look forward to trying out the rest of the menu.“
“Have you ever loved a place so much that you don’t want to share it because if everyone finds out it’ll too busy?!?!? lol It's true! This place is the best! Everything… I mean EVERYTHING on the menu is great! Chilaquiles, wet burritos, tacos, tamales, papusa… it’s all amazing! When you dine in they give your table a plate of chips & beans(I’m not the biggest bean person)…bomb! The people there don’t speak too much English, but enough to take your order. Don’t be scared, they’re the sweetest people! So show your love for one of the best mom & pop restaurants in town.“
“I went to tipsy putt for the first time last week to attend drag bingo for my birthday. Bingo was fun! Arrive early to get seats and get your bingo cards from the bar.When you walk in, you have no idea where to go for bingo. Once you do get to the seats where it's at, it's still a little confusing. I just sat down, not knowing you're supposed to walk up to the bar to get your cards ($5 for 10 cards). You also order food/drinks at the bar.My friends ordered nachos. They were good. Chip to topping ratio was off though.The place looks fun with other various games to play.I will be back for bingo tho. I really enjoyed the host."Oohhhh yyyeeeaaahhhh"“
“Went on a Friday night and it was CROWDED, but FUN. The place gets busy so get a reservation in on the weekends. The service was superb. They're really fast and attentive! The salsa for the chip was so delicious I wanted to drink it.I got the beer battered ? ? and ? tacos - amazing.We didn't get desserts because we were too full ?.Highly recommend.“
“First time here, and I enjoyed everything. We were happily greeted and seated quickly. The appetizer and water came out faster than usual compared to other places I have been. I ordered Carne asada street tacos with beans and rice along with a margarita, and everything was delicious! The meat was seasoned and cooked just right. The margarita was very good, especially for a happy hour drink.“
“Get your Casa Tulum experience before everyone else finds out. There’s no keeping this a best-kept secret—not with its simmering green pozole that can cure any ailment, nor its cochinita pibil, which hits all the right spots. The mole enchiladas may be the best in Northern California; those who crave a taste of Mexico City and East LA will not be disappointed.“
“This place just might be one of my top 5 taco spots. The tortillas on the street and crunchy tacos are perfect, the meat is amazing, the chips are fresh and the salsas are really good. The horchata is also really good. Most of the great tacos Ive had are from taco trucks but this Taqueria might just have the best Ive had yet. I strongly recommend the chicken and asada. 5/5.“
“This is by far one of my fave mexican restaurants. Very traditional food, always reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. Highly recommend the torta de milanesa, molcajete and red enchiladas. Barbacoa is available weekends only and also delicious!“
“It’s honestly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. My dad, who was born and raised in a small pueblo in México, said it was some of the best food he’s had. Weekend special pozole is a must!I’m new to the area and had tried maybe 6 other local “highly rated” spots. Those were all disappointing and don’t compare to El Rincon. I’m even a little hesitant to say good things about this place because the less people who know, the better.“
“Hidden gem right next door to Zelda’s! I’ve walked by this place numerous times and just figured it was a regular little taqueria, that’s not the case. The cook (really should be called “chef”) clearly puts a lot of thought into the flavor and presentation of the dishes. Delicious! Even the cocktails are beautiful. The service was welcoming and super friendly: from our server, the woman working behind the counter to the person preparing the food. We will definitely make this a regular dinner/brunch spot.“
“Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday, and sadly the place was completely empty. Given the great reviews, I tried it anyway and am glad I did. I had the "Sunny" Burger, and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly, moist, and flavorful. Best burger I have had in a while. Friendly staff, fast service. Check this place out and do not be afraid to be the only guest.“
“This is my new favorite mexican restaurant. I don't even know where to start so I'll start by saying that I want to eat everything so I will be back many times. The food is amazing. I got the combo platter this time with the tamale and the enchiladas and holy moly, was it amazing. Their hot salsa is actually hot!!! Which is so nice because I never go anywhere and have their "hot" salsa actually be hot! The service was great! There's so many servers and waiters around and they're all willing to help out or grab your waiter for you! It is such a cool, funky little place too! I will be back soon!“
“My family came in for a nice easy dining experience and we left with that and so much flavor. This place serves authentic cuisine at reasonable prices in a very chill clean environment. My wife got some veggie tacos, my daughter got a black bean carne asade kids burrito with fresh fruit slices and pineapple mango agua Fresca, and I got the birria taco plate with one extra taco. The food came out with a lovely display. I would have, and should have, taken pictures but the smells were so intoxicating the food did not stand a chance. The dipping of the birria was so good this rainy evening. I will be back and be bringing my appetite. Thank you for a wonderful easy night out.“
“Love the murals in this establishment! The service was rapid, and the greetings by the person who took the order and gave it to me were friendly. The flavor was outstanding for the food. I purchased two Carne asada burritos to go. I took one all the way back home in Montana for my Mr.- he concurred.“
“I want to point out that i haven't even tried the combo i ordered yet which consisted of a #2 cheese tamale and carnitas burrito. This is for the horchata. This is not only by a mile the best horchata of my entire life this was quite possibly without exaggeration the best drink ive ever had and im in my high 30s, not a joke they are not playing with the horchata game here. Nobody even comes close i drank the whole 24 oz drink in about 1.5 minutes then begged to buy a refil without waiting a second time in the long out the door line. A winner from every direction“
“This place is beautiful, the service is great and the food is excellent!Vegetarian options: The menu clearly states they cook with lard, so I would not recommend vegetarians dine here.Parking: There are two parking lots and street parking is also available.Kid-friendliness: It's a festive environment and they have a children's menu. I think kids would love it there.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchairs.“
“Another great meal today. We have visited this restaurant for several years, and have always received great service and incredible food. Today was a light meal including an amazing shrimp cocktail and shrimp and octopus ceviche. Menus are available in Spanish or English. Even in the off season the fish was fresh and the food great.“
“Best chicken zinger burger and wrap in Sacramento. The taste and quantity is wholesome! love zingers and couldn’t find any decent restaurant in the US. That’s all I’ve tried and I can testify it’s not at all disappointing.Small review - Chicken is a little over cooked could be juicier. You can further improve it by adding more flavor of sauce like tandoori mayo!May Allah bless your work??“
“I came in during my lunch break just to try a place near by. I am so glad I came in here! I ordered a super breakfast burrito with asada and some salsa verde on the side. The salsa was so good and the burrito was delicious! Also, the customer service was really great. It felt homely and comforting. I would love to come back here again and try new things.“
“When I say I love this place I mean I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Omg it's so good, service, food and drinks!!! If you happen to be driving by off Northgate do yourself a favor and stop in. They have a patio in back as well! The ambiance is very inviting.“
“Super clean ! When i went the ladies had the dining area immaculate and we're very attentive as we ate. 10/10 would recommend anyone nearby to try the carne asada fries, quesabirria and fish tacos. Super generous portions served as well.“
“Hey let's start with the atmosphere... It's cold at least at this time of the year and the tables, chairs, walls are dated. But then when the food comes out... MAGIC! what an incredibly delicious vegan treat for us. We ordered three different options and each equally incredible.Vegetarian options: If you're vegan or vegetarian then you owe it to yourself to try this out. I give it a 9 out of 10 on the quality and fun of this place.“
“The food is simple a decent quantity for the money and they will take special orders. Its fast food style you go up and order and they bring it to your table. Still haven't figured out how to get the right hotness down though. Large clean restaurant lots of locals seem to go there. Caters to what seems to be mostly Mexican clientele so I guess they approve to the food. Give it a try if you are in that part of town.Wheelchair accessibility: There is ramp access to the doors and patio plenty or room between tables and handicap restrooms.“
“Florez is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Sacramento. The staff are welcoming and attentive. The food and cocktails are excellent. I recently had their Caldo de Tortilla and I have to say it was the best chicken tortilla soup I ever had. Very tasty and flavorful. Their other dishes are great too.“
“This reminded us of a home cooked traditional Mexican dish. We tried a little of everything and nothing disappointed us! Micheladas were amazing! Ceviche de pescado was delicious! Sopes, carnitas, and pollo tacos - all amazing! We plan on heading back very soon and they are on the other side of town - worth the drive!“
“If you like to adventure with your tacos and like a bit of diversity in the flavors, this place is the spot!! The combinations of tacos they mash up are insane like banh mi, pork belly, butter chicken, tuna! And the cocktails are also delicious. I wish they were a bit stronger but it made them super delicious. My absolute favorite taco of all was the pork belly that was a close tie with the banh mi taco. The meat was so tender and flavorful, it was literally dripping down my arm. I loved that they matched the taco bread with the dish like the banh mi was in a softer bread and the tuna was in a lettuce wrap and the butter chicken taco was in a naan bread. They also have exciting new tacos all the time to try, and my personal favorite the “secret taco”. The “secret” taco is a daily rotating taco that has new flavors the chef decided to put together. You don’t know what it is when you order, so it’s a fun gamble. Also there’s chips and salsa come out in tortas not tortilla chips which was different but both salsas were yummy. I’m only not giving it a 5 because the day I took my friend with me here, it was a hot sacramento summer day & their AC broke. We were literally sweating throughout our entire meal it was so hot.“
“Just went to Centro for the first time & liked everything we tried. First of all, the location & atmosphere is nice. The staff was friendly helpful with recommendations. Pre-meal chips & salsa verde were great. I had the chorizo burrito with rice & black beans on the side—all great & made in-house. We tried four different types of tacos. Carne asada & pollo were the two best but they were all super good. No complaints & we will definitely return to try more from the menu!“
“Everything but open table needs to go away. Insults me every time I use it. Tried to correct without success. Every time I sent correct information and then they set the reservation under my daughter's name. Advised other restaurants and they couldn't help resolved.“
“Newly opened. The recipes tasted like they came from Grandma's kitchen . Like comfort food from Heaven. Had the camaron burrito. Fresh ingredients and made with love. Staff is really friendly. TV 's are on for sports,etc. Near Sacramento St and geared to a wide variety of clientele. I'll be back.Vegetarian options: All dishes can be made sans meat“
“Excellent service! We were a bit late for our reservation on Saturday 3/23 and had to be at a show, so I was concerned we wouldn't have enough time to be seated, eat, and pay. The whole crew from the hostess staff, the back of house chefs, and the waiter went out of their way to make our experience pleasant. They didn't know that the dinner and show were a gift for my 15 year old son's birthday, and that they had a part in setting the night on the right foot. The place just seemed to be run well. The food came out hot and we enjoyed each dish, the ambiance is really warm and inviting with cool art, and the prices are reasonable. We'll be back to try some Vegan dishes next time we're in downtown Sacramento!“
“Had the quesabirria taco with consume. SO GOOD! Our waiter was very kind and had a great personality. Went with family members for a "girls lunch" on a Saturday. Very family friendly. One ordered the birria ramen (bomb), another the flautas (just ok), and the last had the shrimp cocktail (yum). We had a great experience and will definitely be back :)Parking: If you miss the entrance, turn the corner and there's plenty in the back of the building.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly“
“I ordered using their website which was easy and convenient. I got the mangonada chunks, horchata late with almond milk, and the esquite (street corn). Everything was delicious. I would post a picture but I already ate it all. The fruit was fresh and perfect. The corn wasn’t dry. And the latte is my favorite from their menu specifically with almond milk.“
“This place has THEE best birria tacos and consome. You’d never believe it’s located in a gas station.The taco shells are dipped in the consome before frying to get that taste and texture. Then they add heaps of beef. And you have to get an order of consome, it’s thick, rich and comes with chunks of beef. It’s practically a beef soup by itself! I really wish this place wasn’t across town from me or I might be visiting a dangerously amount of times. Seriously come here. After having the birria tacos and consome here, I haven’t been able to find another place in Sacramento.The only down side I really don’t like is that blast the music way to loud in there! I get it you want to play music to fit the vibe of your food and that’s all fine, but the noice is just too loud. Atmosphere would be a lot better is they simply lowered the volume.“
“Interesting place where you can enjoy the company of friends and others. You sort of forget your surroundings when you step inside. Sample the imported beer or the great selection of food. I've tried many of the menu items and none have left me dissatisfied.Parking: Limited lot spots. Street parking sometimes a couple blocks away.Kid-friendliness: More of an adult location. Not the best for full families.“
“I only have complements for the restaurant in general, the food is authentic Mexican, they have a delicious mole as well as good flavor in all their dishes. I have to highlight their mixtology, by God it's delicious!! I love that delicious mezcal. And of course very good service and atmosphere.“
“Food is freshly made upon ordering. We ordered a shrimp asada taco, shrimp tacos along with asada fries. All were delicious! The agua de melón was beyond fruitful and savory (felt like I was drinking my tias agua fresca). Customer service is superb (cashier spoke English and Spanish, always a plus)! It's a small joint, but very clean and inviting. This is my second time returning, and first time introducing the party I was with. They were happy with the food and said they'd return again“
“This place is so accommodating and sweet. I ordered breakfast burritos for my coworkers and bosses for a birthday celebration. I start at 8am and they open at 8am. The lady said she could have everything ready for us at 8am which they totally did and even packed us silverware. It was so easy and the burritos were so good. We have been a few times after. So far we have ordered the Breakfast Asada and Chorizo burritos, Torta with carnitas and added guacamole, Adobada Tacos, Birria de Res Taco, Chorizo Taco, Enchiladas, and Chicken Taco. Drinks we had the Horchata, Melon, Horchata Limon (together), and Strawberry Lime agua frescas. The agua frescas are so refreshing. The food is bomb. I did not really care for the cafe de olla.“
“The people are really nice. I always get the flour tortilla tostada bowl it is one of the best and it costs less here than most places. I like the yellow rice I don't care for the red rice. My daughter always gets a bean and cheese burrito my son gets a bean taco. The fish tacos are really good. I can feed my family dinner here for $50“
“I have used Kmemo at least three times and will continue to use them! Very friendly and great food. Just tried the brisket and it was fabulous! On time, good food and great price! All the times I've used him have been work events and we had nothing but good reviews!“
“My first time trying this place in all the years I’ve lived in natomas. It was so delicious! I went Sunday morning right when they open at 8 for Menudo, and it was the best I’ve had in a long time! It definitely reminded me of when my grandma use to make it. The service was fast and everything was fresh and reasonably priced. The kid that took my order was super nice and packed everything up nice to go. This will be my new place to go for menudo on Sundays! They also off we fresh corn tortillas with it, which are really good!“
“Our favorite neighborhood taco spot. The hours are sometimes more of a suggestion that a strict schedule, but service is fast and friendly. My favorites are the tacos de al pastor y buche. My husband also likes their tripas. Their quesadillas are also packed with meat. For those, my daughter loves the carne asada. Their salsas are delicious, especially the avocado one. There's often someone selling aguas frescas or champurrados to round out your meal. Idk how much each taco costs (it doesn't really matter to me though, I love their tacos so much I'll pay whatever they charge me) but this is always an affordable family meal for us. Check it out!“
“The owner was very nice & shared her experience with me, the food was very good, I wish I would've ordered extra beans & rice tho ? it meant alot cause I grew up n the area & that building was always vacant, hope they do very “
“Been here numerous times and have always got great food , I'm very lucky to live close by because they never disappoint. My kids love eating here , daughter loves the shrimp ceviche, I always ho for the fried tilapia or carne asada plate . They are a little pricey but like I said they have a really nice place , always clean! Restrooms are always super clean , dining outside is nice with the heaters over your table ! You wont regret eating at this place . Thanks for keeping this place top notch ?.“
“Authentic Latin flavors. Great quality. Blessed portions. Humble hospitality. It's been a long time since I've experienced food and service like this. I thought people stopped caring about all these things. But oh my this was blessing to come by. I Also love that the age range of staff is very well ranged. Creating a fresh but traditional tone. I used to be a chef and I would definitely hire these individuals. I will definitely be coming back for more. And thank you so much for giving us real homemade flan and rice pudding. Lot of restaurant sell the store bought and charge up the butt for it. Thank you for being such a blessing. I came in at about 5:40pm on Friday. The crew at the time deserve bragging rights. I can't wait to come back here.“
“My favorite mexican foods in the area. It is a small tiny booth/building & short menu. Love their super burrito & there tacos. Horchata drink is a hit and miss sometime. But today is delicious. Their customer service is always fantastic. Deliver to your car. Lunch rush is when they are open so it does get busy sometime. ?“
“Found the place on Yelp. I try to find places that have Mexican shrimp cocktails, in hopes they have campechana which just adds octopus. Top marks for their campechana here! It has more kick than most, so I really like it. The hostess was very helpful when I custom designed a dish to try to hit keto, on a different day. So I ate here four meals in three days on a business trip. I took a road trip during the week and had shrimp cocktail an hour up the road… This one is way better. I would look forward to coming back here for the food.Dietary restrictions: Hostess readily customized a dish for my keto request“
