I love this place. Chile Verde. All day. Do yourself a favor and get a side of potatoes with sour cream.

First time visitor, my breakfast was delicious (avocado & eggs) only downside is that they only take cash and I didn’t have enough cash on hand to try the pancakes LOL. Can’t wait to go back and try them.

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.

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 great little hole in the wall with unexpected warmth! Small amount of seating. Consider eating out or taking your plate to a park to enjoy your bounty! Try their new dinner menu or come in early, this place gets hopping quick!

Such a fantastic experience, this location. We received all-you-can-eat dinners. Every variety of meat was wonderful, and everything was delicious. Excellent service was provided. A fun place to visit with friends or on a date! For dessert, the tempura cheesecake was also excellent. I’ll give everyone who comes through town a big recommendation for this place!

Husband really liked his smothered breakfast burrito and I enjoyed the polenta breakfast. Got a short stack of pancakes (they are fluffy!) and a Mexican hot chocolate too. You order at the counter and they don’t take cards (cash only). Small space but perfect for a weekday visit, it wasn’t too busy on a Thursday at 9:45am and we sat at one of the 4 outside tables.

Lots of good things lots of bad things. We got the sauteed veggie breakfast burrito and the cheese and yellow corn egg dish. The burrito had lots of veggies, a big plus, however it was lacking in any real flavor. The cheese and corn was very tasty but the pico was unwanted and kinda wasted the food that was under it.
