We absolutely love this place. Easily the best Sunday brunch around. They’ve got a mole buffet with so much more and it was only about $25 per person. Such a steal for how good everything was. You can eat however much and whatever you want, and everything we tried was super flavorful.
The atmosphere is awesome too. Tons of TVs so it’s easy to catch the game while you eat. They’ve also got this amazing house tequila that they import straight from Jalisco. It was so smooth and paired perfectly with the food.
The owner was really friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. We’re already planning to come back. 100% recommend if you’re into great food and want to feel like you’re stepping into Mexico without leaving Sacramento.

We had a large party for dinner this evening. The service was amazing, our waitress handled our picky eaters very well and was prompt to make sure we didn’t have to ask for anything! I got the crispy tacos which were priced very well and loaded with toppings. I chose el pastor, carnitas, and chicken birria. I could t tell which I preferred because they were all delicious. As we were eating, a woman who I am assuming is the owner or manager came to check on us. We explained that we are from out of town and that this was highly recommended to us. Eventhough they typically don’t serve their special coffee on weekdays, they made it for our group and added a special seafood dish that was off the menu. It was exceptional service, a great atmosphere for the whole family, and very well priced. We will definitely be back when we visit and will recommend to anyone in the area!

Beautiful space. I liked the live music on a Tuesday night. Good happy hour prices on the drinks. This margarita tastes top shelf for only $8. Fast and friendly bartender. It’s pretty packed on a Tuesday bc they have a taco bar buffet for $15 per person. I just shared three tacos. I appreciate how they make their own tortillas, but they were kind of thin and not finished off. The quesabirria, for example, was floppy. I prefer it más doradita like crisped up on the grill so it doesn’t get soggy from the meat juices. Not much cheese. Carnitas looked nice but tasted bland. The carne asada is giant strips of steak. A little hard to bite, but I guess the point is to show off how it is steak and not cheap. Actually the salsa was the best part–picosita and tasted fresh and homemade. Dry limes. I would come back more for drinks and music over the tacos. Maybe I should try something else off the menu.

5 Tacos & Beer in Midtown Sacramento is a fun place to visit for locals. Their Taco Tuesday AYCE buffet is an unbeatable deal at only $15 per person (Kids are charged the same), running from 4 PM until closing. You get your pick of three meats — Chicken (Pollo), Pork (Pastor), and Beef (Barbacoa) — plus a veggie option for plant-based eaters. The self-serve topping bar is well stocked with all the essentials: beans, grilled onions and serrano peppers, cilantro, radish, and multiple salsas including verde, roja, and a spicy dried chili paste. Tacos are good but nothing like street tacos if that what you’re looking for. There is live music at night. Parking can be tricky with paid street parking typical of Midtown. Still, for the price and flavor, it’s a great casual spot to enjoy tacos and a lively local vibe.

Smells good, food is flavorless and probably understaffed for a Saturday night. I came in and saw 3 people clearing a table and two groups waiting. When they sat the two groups they addressed me, I advised I was there for a take out order but didn’t get a chance to give my name before she walked away. My takeout order was supposed to be ready at 7:30, I showed up at 7:40 and apparently my order wasn’t ready but no one advised me . I waited maybe 5 or so minutes. When I was given the order I asked how they knew it was mine. Apparently I had the only takeout order. The food was mid, the chicken had no flavor, wasn’t marinated, just salt and pepper. The carne asada is ok but they definitely are using a cheaper cut of meat than before. This is my second time coming since they opened. The only salsa was too vinegary. And no lime. Best thing about the taco was the tortilla because it is handmade. It was also empty, 7 parties, they have seating for probably 30 tables. Music wasn’t really loud enough to hear and they had 3 different tvs with different programming with audio. No vibes. The food is too expensive. I can’t see them remaining open much longer.

Such a nice spot to get lunch or dinner! Came here with my friend for our first time and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is spacious, beautifully decorated, and has a great atmosphere. The staff were super nice, our server David was amazing! He was attentive, friendly, and provided great service.
They have a great selection of vegetarian options, my friend got the potato flautas, and I got the soy chorizo taco, mushroom taco, and chipotle shrimp taco. The house margarita was well made and their agua de Jamaica was refreshing without being overly sweet. We came during happy hour which gave us 20% off our bill. Our server let us know that Tuesdays is all you can eat tacos on meats/vegetarian options, Thursday is all you can eat seafood tacos, and Saturday and Sunday is all you can eat brunch.
We loved our experience and plan to come back, hopefully when it is more lively to experience that kind of ambiance. They also have outdoor seating with looked really cute! Definitely check it out!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. I went for Sunday brunch and ordered the bottomless buffet. It was wonderful! I just kept saying “wow” after every bite. The food was absolutely delicious, possibly the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The tortillas were handmade to order. Our waitress was very attentive. It is now one of my most favorite restaurants in Sacramento.

This was my second time here. First time was all-you-can-eat Taco Tuseday. Joint was super packed and music blasting, but tacos were good.
Lunch time was far more tame and the tacos were just as good. Alexandria was our server and she made us feel at home.
