I have been here many times. Fast service. Good food. It's always busy but that's an issue. Food is hot and fresh every time. They always have games on and the atmosphere is spirited.

The best Mexican food in town. Location is a bit sketchy but it is SO worth it. Their Pozole and Menudo is amazing. Their quesedillas' are so tasty. I usually get buche, tripa, cabeza and lengua tacos here and it always hits.

Best asada super burrito I've had in a long time. Full with all the super options and fresh salsa bar to spice it up. Beats many taquerias by far!

This is a great little spot. We placed our order and took a table right away. The table wasn't the cleanest, but it was the start of the lunch rush so I let that slide. The food came out staggered, so some plates were on the table long enough for people to be half done before all the rest of the meals made it out. There were only 4 of us, so it wasn't a massive group. That seemed okay, as none of the meals had to sit under a warmer. I had the Chile Rellenos. It was good, but it came with a very unusual orange sauce. The breading was thick and the cheese tasted like plain old mozzarella. The chip bar was fun, it was nice getting to select from a variety of salsas. Decent location, good food, decent service.

Chicken street tacos, add grilled onions & cheese. With limes & a lil pico... my favorite in the north area & cheap on Tuesday & Fridays.

I went back to the restaurant and ordered a chimichanga, it was huge! Could only eat half

I've been coming here for years. My absolute favorite spot to come for Mexican food. Helpful people and the food is always fresh

Fast and friendly services. It's not in the greatest of neighborhoods but you have to get out to get good food. Once you walk in you're greeted by music from Los Tigris De Norte, Ramon Ayala and Juan Gabriel. There's a board in front of the register that has the specials. I opts for the asada quesadilla with a small soda. All for $10.75 with tax. The quesadilla does tend to get soggy, do to how the meat is cooked. The asada is cooked in its own juices which will lead to a soggy tortilla. If you could get passed that, then you're in for a good meal. The meat was flavorful. They have a salsa and chip bar. Everything was delicious and spicy. Place stays busy. Will most definitely be back ti try a different dish.

First time to do a dine in. The service was good. It was dark inside but clean. The food was great and I'm not sure if it was because it was a Tuesday but the Tacos were cheap. I liked their Carnitas more than their Pastor. Our food arrived immediately. I was surprised at how fast it got served. There was a self serve chips and salsa and dip open bar.

Was craving Tacos and wanted to checkout another Taqueria. I am heading up to Delta Borne Brewery and this place was just down the road from them. I order 4 Regular Tacos with meat choices of Cabeza, Lengua, Pastor, and Asada. The tacos came out super quick and they tasted amazing. Probably some of the best Tacos I have had in Sacramento in a few years! The tacos did come out before I was done getting salsa for my chips! They had Playoff Football and European Soccer Highlights on the 2 TVs. There is no outdoor seating, but there is plenty of indoor seating. They have a fridge with bottled beers.
