Have had more authentic mex in fargo!

by yamaha aryn at Citysearch

This place came so highly reviewed, best in sac 3 years running? I wonder where they took the polls, RUSSIA? This place was horrible, cold bag chips, salsa that tasted like it was made with catsup, beans that were dry and flavorless and their house specialty carnitas were not real special. Tasted like plain old roasted pork. 2 of us ate, had two margaritas and the "upgraded" ships and guac and the bill was just under $60.......I've spent far less and gotten much more other places.

BOOOOOOO!

• Pros: large portions
• Cons: poor food

Best Carnitas in the world

by cpzee at Citysearch

So I have been coming here for years and with plenty good reason, it is the best Mexican food in Sacramento. For sure get the carnitas dinner platter. Besides the best carnitas I have ever had (even better than I have had in Guadalajara, Mexico), the tortillas are amazing. Make sure to ask for a lemon wedge and sqeeze it on to the carnitas. Besides the food being awesome, the service is always great as well. Some of the waiters have been there over 15 years.

• Pros: Carnitas and tortillas
• Cons: none that I can think of

fast service very

by tomy1144 at Citysearch

after calling locksmiths and tow trucks and getting high prices, my friend referred me to pop a lock, he had used them in the past and said they did not cause damage like a lot of other companies and had real good prices. when i called, the dispatcher took all my information and gave me a 40 min wait. 10 min later the pop-a-lock technician called and gave me the exact time they planned on arriving by my car (even sooner than i expected) and even offered to call upon arrival so i wouldnt have to wait outside. NICE! the tech opened the car in seconds, without causing any damage at all. the price was CHEAP, the service was FAST and tech was very PROFESSIONAL. i recommend pop-a-lock to all my friends and family for all locksmith services

• Pros: The Best Locksmith in Sacramento!!!‎

Excellent Service

by RobertDonahue at Citysearch

My wife and I went here to take her parents out and it was an absolute excellent dining experience. The area isnt the best and if it werent for the recommendations we received from my wifes co-workers we probably would not have gone, but this was one of the best dining experiences we have had in years.

• Pros: Great food and service
• Cons: the area
