2 weeks agoI don’t get it. This is not Mexican food. We both ordered grilled chicken burritos for our dinner after combing through the menu which is not interesting. There was no flavor nor any south of the border taste at all. The tortillas chips are awful. You can get better tasting ones by the bulk at Smart and Final. Tapatio on the table gave a hint of hope.

4 weeks agoThe rice. Not sure what recipe that was but-nope. Had the fajitas steak that was good -not a big fan of slimy nopales. The beans were really good. Tortillas were cold in half a minute. Paid $3 for. 99 cent green tea- come on . I’ll go again to try a smothered burrito some day. No impressed. Over priced for food that was meh. Loved all the food in New Mexico… Not authentic in my opinion but whatev.

3 months agoSmall restaurant that has you seat yourself, buss other peoples plates, & order at the counter. Then they have the audacity to ask for tip 😂. I ordered a latte that tasted like water and I asked to switch it for a mocha instead and they gave me a hot chocolate. they make restaurant business seem complicated. I've had better so maybe this is more of a “To Go” place. whatever, that type of business is not worth.

3 months agoWe had the nopales omelette - excellent! It was my dad's order and what I'll be ordering next time. 😋 They made me an off-menu plate of scrambled eggs with Chile Colorado. The potatoes were tasty, too - as was the java city coffee. Staff was friendly. My dad said, and I agree: good food, good service, good vibe. Just good! It was our first time there - and we'll definitely be returning!

3 months agoI tried the chorizo burrito and it was absolutely delicious! It was packed with flavorful in-house chorizo, scrambled eggs, grilled bell peppers, and onions — all perfectly balanced and not greasy at all. Every bite was full of flavor. I also loved that they have a salsa bar, which really lets you customize your meal. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-try spot in Sacramento — highly recommend

6 months agoFirst, remember it is a cash only restaurant but well worth the inconvenience. The polenta breakfast is sooooo delicious. The flavor is awesome but the soft polenta is what makes the dish with eggs. I like runny eggs so it is the best; however, it would be equally as good with scrambled hard eggs. The portions are generous and the staff is very friendly. The current owners kept the original dishes so quality has been consistent for years. If you like southwestern, this is the go to place.

7 months ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review – Nopalitos, East Sacramento I stopped into Nopalitos for the first time today, and it absolutely will not be my last. This spot is a true East Sac gem. The dining area is small and cozy, with additional outdoor seating that gives it a relaxed neighborhood feel. You order right at the register, grab your own cream and sugar, and the whole process is simple and quick—perfect for a morning bite. I had the huevos rancheros, and they were phenomenal—seriously one of the best I’ve had anywhere. The flavors were fresh, balanced, and exactly what you want from a classic dish. The coffee was excellent too, strong and smooth enough to stand on its own. Overall, Nopalitos is the kind of place that makes you feel at home on your first visit. Great food, great coffee, friendly vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

a year agoWhen I first went inside, I didn't see any 'cash only' sign anywhere. After ordering my food, I was told that it was cash-only. Besides that, the food was pretty decent. I ordered the Chile Verde, and it was: a little spicy, the meat was tender (though a little dry), the rice didn't taste right [to me], the beans were okay, and the portion size was okay for the price [about $15]. On a side note, I also wished there was more pico on top of the Chile Verde. The chips and guacamole, on the other hand, was pretty good! The guacamole tasted fresh, and there was plenty of lime in it. The chips were salted and weren't stale-tasting. Would I recommend this restaurant? I'm not sure. For cash only, I would say no. Then again, I'm part of the population that uses card payments a lot so🤷.
