This was one of the three locations for Vallejo's but is now partly owned by someone else and is called Eliana's Cafe. They serve Mexican faire in the morning and switch to ordinary American faire in the afternoon. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger Lunch Special which comes with french fries for $4.99. I requested the order to go and I... More

I've been a Vallejo's fan for years, returning recently to the 11th & O location after living outside CA for several years. What a disappointment! While our food was good, some of our meals were not as ordered or depicted in the menu. Additionally, the service we received was among the worst I have ever experienced. Requests for basic items...

A downtown favorite! There are several locations - I've eaten at all of them! Great restaurant for a special occasion (birthday, retirement) or just to get a good meal! I've tried a large selection of their menu and everything is terrific (except the red salsa, too hot. Service is good, margaritas wonderful! I would definately recommend Vallejo's! More

I wish there were a half-star. Vallejo's Restaurants are really better than average but I can't go all the way to very good. Sometimes the food is very good - sometimes average. All the Vallejos's are in downtown Sacramento. They do a thriving business at lunchtime. Evenings are more quiet but the food is reliable enough to keep them open... More

Went this for my birthday and we had a coupon. We went to the 1100 o street location and sat on the patio. By the way, smoking is legal on the patio which is a bummer. The staff was nice but not excellent, the food was mediocre and the prices were a bit high for the quality of food. It... More

We have been to Vallejo's many times. The food is always great! the Service is always Great! We have celebrated birthdays, Father's Day and just an evening or lunch with my husband. We have never been disappointed. My daughter usually gets the 1lb carnitas plate and shares with her 3 children and has plenty to take home for $15.00. There... More
