We can't say enough good about this place. Just a few blocks from our house, we stop in for breakfast, or lunch, or take out for our daughter's school lunch. The flavors are wonderful, the portions ample, the price is right. Rose will take care of you right! More

We moved to the Sacramento area about 6 months ago and have been wanting to try this spot. Took some friends who were visiting from NY for breakfast this morning. We were very happy!!! We have many Mexican friends so we know what "authentic" really is and this was spot on! Believe them though when they say breakfast stops at... More

This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere! The owners are wonderful people, the service is friendly and fast, the good is to die for! They are only open weekdays from 6am to 2:30pm, so you have to get there for breakfast or lunch. I recommend you do both! For breakfast, their pancakes, french toast, and their omelets are delicious!... More

Order at the counter, the meal is brought to you. LOVE LOVE LOVE the veggie breakfast burrito -- squash, jicama, scrambled egg, fried potatoes -- the combination is perfect. My husband usually orders the Huevos Rancheros with both green and red sauce. Small place so cash or check only. More

The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. It seemed like a place for locals and for people on there way to work. I was thoroughly pleased with the Huevos Rancheros I ordered. The salsa verde used in the dish was perfect. My dad said the breakfast burrito that he had eaten was the best he ever had. Mexican breakfasts are so... More

If you can get around the weird hours, it is absolutely worth. Both breakfast and lunch are amazing. They also will make tamales to pick up around Christmas time which are incredible. More

Stopped by this cafe during our recent road trip around CA at the recommendation of a friend. It turned out to be the best meal that we had during our entire trip! Had the breakfast special, that morning it was cheese tamales with eggs, beans, homemade salsa and tortillas on the side. It was incredible! True southwestern cooking at it's... More
