Came out for the soup flight and it did NOT DISAPPOINT! Pazole warmed my soul! And it's big enough to share too. Kids loved the horchata! Definitely a hidden gem in Sacramento! Best wishes for you and your family in this business!

This place has become a staple for this city. A must stop when visiting Sacramento. It a clean and warming atmosphere. With fresh ingredients and very unique, one of a kind flavors. Every dish is a must try, they all have their own signature taste. Portions are very generous, you get what you pay for. The service is attentive and they all give a polite service. The full bar service is very nice and appealing. My best drink there is the Paloma and the henney-chata soooo good! I appreciate the balance the restaurant has a fun ambiance, but also very family friendly.

The best Mexican food around. It’s such a treat to come here. I’m lucky my friend showed me this place. Best Michi’s, soup, and chilaquiles. Salsas are amazing too!

We saw a video about the soup flight on TikTok and decided to come check it out. When we walked and we were immediately greeted by several different people the guys were super nice they were friendly very accommodating very easy to talk to. The answered all of our questions and gave us some great feedback about what to order. My sister niece and I all ordered the soup flight. I have to say hands down my favorites were the fideo and carne en su jugo. The mulenita was amazing as well as the Mulita. They checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. All and all amazing experience. Can't wait to come back and try new things.

Just tried this spot and it was fantastic! The carne asada fries were loaded with tender, flavorful meat, melty cheese, and fresh toppings—super satisfying. The carnitas plate came with juicy, well-seasoned pork, fluffy rice, and creamy beans that balanced everything perfectly. On top of that, they even brought out complimentary chips, which was a nice touch. Generous portions, great flavor, and excellent value—I’ll definitely be coming back. 4 stars for atmosphere due to a bothersome fly that came through the doors.

We saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it while in Sacramento. The soup flight is a must, I picked the Albondigas, Carne en su Jugo, and Green Pozole. The first two were excellent, rich, and flavorful. The green pozole was just okay, kind of bland compared to the others. The quesotaco and AB shrimp taco were both very good, lots of flavor. The crispy taco wasn’t very crispy and fell flat. The carne asada mulita was another standout, loved the crispy cheese crust. Drinks were on point. The aguas frescas were refreshing, and the horchata was excellent with strong cinnamon flavor, almost like a dessert. Instead of chips, they serve duritos, which is a cool touch and something different. They are light puffy deep fried wheat snacks shaped into pinwheels served with chile and lime. Overall, worth the stop, especially for the soups and specialty tacos. Would definitely come back and try more.
