Italian-Mexican fusion in EG.

Location: In a quiet sleepy part of EG is a shopping center with a restaurant that bears the name Todo Un Poco. To be honest this place can be easy to miss and from the outside it is difficult to see the interior but don’t let that fool you. One annoying nitpick is that there seemed to be a couple gnats or fruit flies around us.

Vibe: This place is quite a unique vibe and walking into the restaurant was like walking into a different part of town. The restaurant uses thick blackout curtains and once you are inside you feel like you are in a different environment. The restaurant is low light with little lights at each table and large murals across all the walls. The building is quite big but the restaurant seems to just a part of the business.

Service: our server was awesome. Attentive, friendly and always quick to make sure our waters were filled and checking on us.

Food: This is where we had some issues. I really like the fusion idea but something like this is hard to pull off. To be honest the carnitas were not my favorite lacking the flavor and drenched in what seemed like oil. The deviled eggs were not really deviled eggs but hard boiled with carnitas and various accoutrement but the pickled onions while great made the dish extremely wet. Similarly the dishes we ordered the Cheese Ravoli with Carnitas and the pasta Jalisco had many clashing elements. The food was decent but there seemed to be a lack of flavor which was hard to place. Highlights include our cocktails which were very well made and the delicious dessert. We had a Fried plantains with banana bread and ice cream. This was quite a delicious dish and really ended the night positively.

This place left me with some question marks and made me wonder if this concepts really works. So issues with cleanliness is something that is in the back of my mind. Likely will give this place another try.

Fantastic food, service, and ambience. Tonight I had the special—a pasta with shrimp and a tomatillo sauce—and wow, it was a true flavor explosion. Everything was perfectly balanced and full of bright, fresh taste. I really hope they add it to the regular menu.

My wife ordered the pear salad and enjoyed it just as much. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and definitely worth a visit!

Creative and exciting menu options! The food was fantastic and the service even better. Kindness, consideration and a dedication to the dining experience should be an industry standard. This wonderfully colorful bistro could give lessons on the subject.

I ordered ‘La Banderas Plate’ (enchiladas) with chicken and it was FULL of bones and cartilage… a wild amount of it. It was utterly unappetizing and destroyed the entire meal. What. On. Earth. That was actually a horrible eating experience. The amount in the picture is a quarter of what was in my food. Kind of in shock.

I would say that we are still fairly new to the Sacramento area and the surrounding cities.  Coming from Southern California, where the options for fine dining are abundant, to say the least, finding authentic and interesting Mexican food has presented some challenges.  Don’t get me wrong, we’ve eaten at several places where the food is good but still predictable nonetheless.  We’ve been trying new places in hopes of finding food that can surprise our taste buds yet give us that comfort you feel when eating foods you grew up with.  That’s what Todo un Poco offered us.  Not only do I love everything that has to do with the culture surrounding Day of the Dead, which is what drew our eyes to the curb appeal of Todo un Poco.  The dark tones of the bistro and the  calavera mural facade sparked our curiosity since the day we visited this bistro for the first time.  We were driving around looking for something new and interesting to try for the first time.  It wasn’t until we were seated down that we realized that this was a fusion of two amazing cultures all wrapped up into one; Mexican and Italian cuisine.

I have to admit that eating at a restaurant where two cultures are fused can be overwhelming for some, especially because the menu might feel a little foreign to you if you are not familiar with both cultures equally. But if you are, that will definitely make things much easier.  My advice is just to go in with an open mind and pick whatever sounds the most interesting or, if that is too much, ask for recommendations by the staff.  To be honest, whatever you pick will be a good experience regardless.  Their fusions are spot on.  Everything we’ve tried so far has been a solid 10/10.  We’ve visited twice already this month, and it’s quickly becoming one of our favorite places to eat.

So far, we have tried the Jalisco Heat Pizza, which includes white sauce, refried beans, chorizo, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cilantro.  For our taste, it had the right amount of spiciness, but if spicy food is not for you, just say no to the jalapeños.   We’ve also eaten during both visits, the Chicken and Cilantro Spaghetti with
Creamy Cilantro Sauce, chicken, garlic, and parmesan.  This one is our favorite.  My husband makes fun of me because I end up scraping the leftover sauce from my plate because the flavor of the sauce is so addicting.  This one is always going to be a must-have on all future visits for us.  My son tried the Chicken Piri Piri that includes chicken, spicy piri piri cream
sauce and fries.  This one surprised us because we weren’t convinced about the fries at first, but dipping the fries in the sauce was surprisingly delicious.  My brother-in-law tried the Mole Enchiladas, which included three enchiladas, mole sauce, rice, beans, chicken, and cheese.  I personally didn’t try this one, but according to my brother-in-law, who is a mole lover, said it was perfect.  My husband tried the Enfrijoladas, which included enchilidas, black bean sauce, chicken, cheese, and sour cream.  So far, everything we’ve tried has left us wanting more, which is a good thing.  There’s so much more on the menu, enough to try something new for several visits to come.  The prices are moderate; not low but not too high.  The portions are generous, and the staff is extremely friendly.  On our first visit, we were welcomed by the owners.  Very lovely couple. The staff there is very friendly and attentive.  It’s definitely a good vibe as soon as you walk in there.  The wait time is decent. The ambiance is very relaxing with moderate noise levels.  While you wait, you can keep yourself entertained admiring all the beautiful art surrounding you.  In conclusion, if you want to experience something new,  definitely give this place a try….I promise you that like us, you’ll want to come back.

If you’re into hidden gems, Todo Un Poco is your spot. Trust, I’m not a fan of fusion restaurants — most of the time it’s just a hot mess of one cuisine ruining the other, amiright?

Todo Un Poco is NOT that kind of fusion disaster.

It’s like Mexican and Italian food had a secret love affair, and I’m just over here hoping they’ll ask me to be in a thruple. They somehow managed to pull the best from both worlds and still keep it fresh and exciting. And if you’re like me and vegetarian, you’ll be happy to know they kept the super veg-friendly vibe from both cuisines. Plus, they’re all about flexibility with dietary restrictions .

Now, let’s talk about the vibe. This cozy gem is hiding in a strip mall that’s basically a ghost town… except for Todo Un Poco. Is that why they have so many urns on the wall? The staff? Super chill and welcoming. The atmosphere? Fun, vibrant, and splashed with Day of the Dead art — perfect for date night or a group hang.

But let’s get to the food, shall we? If you love Round Table’s parmesan twists, prepare to have your world rocked. Their Garlic Braids are what dreams are made of — like the twists, but WAY better. The Queso Fundido and Jalapeño Poppers? Spot on. And don’t get me started on the Enchilada Blancas — that sour cream sauce is pure magic. I even had the leftovers for breakfast with a couple of fried eggs (don’t judge, it was chef’s kiss).

But hold up, the Portabella Paradise — they need to rewrite the menu item for this one. It’s being undersold! Fresh house-made mushroom ravioli, alfredo, marinara — it’s everything you didn’t know you needed in your life.

Todo Un Poco is where Italian-Mexican magic happens. It’s tucked away in the least likely spot, but trust me, it’s worth finding. Get there, eat up, and thank me later.

How I break down my star reviews:
1 – No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. ️
2 – Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high.
3 – Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. ‍♀️
4 – Hella solid. Planning my next visit.
5 – Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom.

This place is really interesting and unique fusion!

Lots of different foods and mixes together. The pizza dough is a little sour and absolutely delicious. If you’re a fan of sourdough bread it’s a must try.

The Pasta Jalisco was a little disappointing, but the Mac and Cheese is sooo good, and the Pork Adobe calzone is quite delicious. The carnita deviled eggs were so nummy, I will definitely come back and try other dishes.

Pretty nut friendly place.

It was a nice date night dinner, but it would’ve been more romantic if they closed all of the window blinds.
The chips and salsa were nice – not spicy, chips nice and dense. Mexican lasagna was the star of the night but was also pricey. The enchilada dish we got was a little too dry for my taste. It felt understaffed and one guy spilled water on me and my bag while trying to pour.

Overall, a cozy place to try at least once but I wouldn’t recommend it twice from a value to food perspective.

Went here for my wife’s birthday and the staff was great and food was great also. I was the only one who didn’t really enjoy his meal but everyone else enjoyed theirs. The wait was a little long but the place was packed. We will come back. We enjoyed ourselves and staff was really nice and food was good!

I went here with a friend because a Mexican-Italian fusion place sounded interesting. The staff were friendly and attentive. The margarita was much larger than I expected, and I was happy to find that it wasn’t too sweet. I ordered the Mexican Paella. The portions were generous, and it tasted good. It didn’t quite feel like paella; the texture was a little off and there were shrimp shells mixed in the rice. I don’t mind when the shrimp tails are still on, but this was more like an oversight.
