“ The service here is attentive and swift. We were seated immediately. We navigated the menus put in front of us looking for the well marked vegan items. The chips were nice and crispy with salsa the had a good amount of heat. I liked that the refried bean were not overly salty. Our entrees were lukewarm which was disappointing. Next time I will remember to have them leave off the vegan cheese as it's more for looks than taste. There is Tapatio hot sausage on the table and we both used it as the sauce was fairly bland. I will come back as there are more menu items I'd like to try. ”
“ They actually have two menus - a regular one and a lunch menu as well. Their menu is really big. They have burgers, sandwiches, breakfast food, and mexican food. I ordered the mega wet burrito, i was expecting it to be HUGE. It was still a pretty decent size and pretty good. Service was great also. I am going to have to come back for their burger. ”
“ Judos Tacos are my favorite of all time. I visit this restaurant when I need comfort and for bonding with friends. They always take care of us and the energy is always good. They know what they are doing and I pray they always do well because selfishly this is a place I would always like to visit in years to come. Thank you for providing good food and an authentic space to create memories. Nik ”
“ Another good choice for local Mexican food. If you like menudo they make it the old fashioned way. Don't have the taquitos though - they're dry and you'll choke on them. Great bar for your fav beverages. Lively ambiance and fairly prompt in serving you. Waiters can be nonchalant at times, but that's because they're hustling around and serving people. Give Cantina Azteca a try. ”
“ New vegan menu and I love it. Love the service, drinks, food and salsa! There is a lot to choose from and they also offer delicious juices and smoothies. So glad to have this neighborhood hotspot! ”
“ Great service, attention to our children, and food. The best experience we had in any restaurant in a while. Prompt seating, hot food, perfect amount of attention from our server, Gloria! ”
“ This place has become my morning breakfast place. Free coffee with breakfast and they allow you to look at the lunch menu if you prefer. The Shrimp was AMAZING, It is buttery and lemony and so so good! My boyfriend loved it. I just had bariatric surgery and I find that they have a lot of protein rich meals that are delicious, they also let me make requests to changes on my meals to better suit my diet now. The Huevos con Chile Verde is amazing and so is the huevos con Chile Colorado. And the Salmon Omelette is my new favorite meal! Most of the staff is so friendly and attentive! Must try place! ”
“ I was itching for a Mexican happy hour place to get some good food and drinks. I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Sitting at the bar, I got a house Margarita and 2 tacos to start. I love that the tacos came with caramelized onions and salsa verde. With complimentary chips and salsa, this was becoming a great meal. Greedily, I squeezed in a Dos Equia Amber draft beer. Somehow this draft did not feel as fresh or delicious as I had remembered, but only $4. Pre-tax and tip, this whole meal was only $16. What a great deal! I had to bring some food back for my mom so I got the nachos and fajita quesadilla. The nachos were fine, but that steak fajita quesadilla was excellent! Normally just cheese and meat, but with fajita, this quesadilla was taken to another level. Too bad I don't live in Carmichael, otherwise I'd go back almost every week. =) ”
