" Absolutely love this restaurant! Can't stop coming back. The carnitas are superbly seasoned, and I appreciate the variety of salsas available. They even make fresh tortillas, which puts everything over the top! The atmosphere is welcoming with a homey feel, perfect for a family outing. Service has always been great as well. Overall, definitely one of the best in Sacramento! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has a lot of potential, but I had quite a disappointing experience. I ordered the carnitas, which were flavorful, but the service was horrendous. It took forever to get our orders taken and the staff seemed overwhelmed. While some say it can get busy, I expected a smoother experience given the hype. I think I'll stick to takeaway next time; at least I'll avoid any service hiccups! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations given all the positive reviews, but my experience was quite mixed. The carnitas I tried were good, but not the best I've had. What really disappointed me was the service; it seemed the staff was overwhelmed and inattentive, especially at the lunch rush. On the upside, the handmade tortillas made a huge difference in the overall meal. I think I might return during off-peak hours to give it another shot, as I understand the potential is there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this place based on a friend's recommendation, and I’m so glad I did! The carnitas were absolutely delicious and very authentic. The handmade tortillas were a major highlight—they're far superior to anything you get at a typical fast-food joint. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I noticed a few negative reviews about cleanliness, which I can somewhat understand; however, I didn't have a bad experience. Overall, it's a must-visit for authentic Mexican food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for real Mexican flavors, this place has it! The carnitas were juicy and well-seasoned. I particularly loved their homemade salsa; it adds that extra kick you want. However, I arrived right at noon and noticed they were already running low on options like tongue and the fantastic gorditas. Next time, I’ll be sure to arrive even earlier to avoid disappointment! Overall, I recommend giving this place a shot. Just be prepared to wait in line during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" The hype around this place led me to try it, and while the carnitas were good, the menudo left something to be desired. It was not as flavorful as I had hoped. However, the handmade tortillas are a great addition, transforming any meal into something special. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was comfortable. I would recommend sticking to the carnitas for a solid meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authenticity is what you get here! Every dish brings back fond memories of family gatherings back in Mexico. I absolutely love their carnitas, and the homemade tortillas elevate the experience. I can honestly say it’s one of the best Mexican spots I've been to in a long time. I urge anyone who appreciates true cuisine to give it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)
