5 Tacos and Beers

I was very impressed with this place! The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. The ambience of the room was chill and quiet, we did visit on a Friday around 5 and we were shocked it was so empty. There was a point as we were eating where people had been waiting quite a while to be seated. Food was wonderful. I enjoyed the barbacoa tacos and a paloma. We also tried the shrimp plate and the sauce was phenomenal. We would come back if we wanted some solid drinks and tacos. Oh and the salsa? 10/10

We absolutely love this place. Easily the best Sunday brunch around. They’ve got a mole buffet with so much more and it was only about $25 per person. Such a steal for how good everything was. You can eat however much and whatever you want, and everything we tried was super flavorful. The atmosphere is awesome too. Tons of TVs so it’s easy to catch the game while you eat. They’ve also got this amazing house tequila that they import straight from Jalisco. It was so smooth and paired perfectly with the food. The owner was really friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. We’re already planning to come back. 100% recommend if you’re into great food and want to feel like you’re stepping into Mexico without leaving Sacramento.

This family-owned restaurant won't disappoint! Delicious Tuesday night tacos, garlicy pinto beans & green jalapeño rice. And the homemade cinnamon churros with sweet dip are superb! Don't forget the wide variety of cervezas! Edgar and his parents did it right! Well done! Remember to make a reservation...this place is busy and parking is tight.

Beautiful space. I liked the live music on a Tuesday night. Good happy hour prices on the drinks. This margarita tastes top shelf for only $8. Fast and friendly bartender. It's pretty packed on a Tuesday bc they have a taco bar buffet for $15 per person. I just shared three tacos. I appreciate how they make their own tortillas, but they were kind of thin and not finished off. The quesabirria, for example, was floppy. I prefer it más doradita like crisped up on the grill so it doesn't get soggy from the meat juices. Not much cheese. Carnitas looked nice but tasted bland. The carne asada is giant strips of steak. A little hard to bite, but I guess the point is to show off how it is steak and not cheap. Actually the salsa was the best part--picosita and tasted fresh and homemade. Dry limes. I would come back more for drinks and music over the tacos. Maybe I should try something else off the menu.

5 Tacos & Beer in Midtown Sacramento is a fun place to visit for locals. Their Taco Tuesday AYCE buffet is an unbeatable deal at only $15 per person (Kids are charged the same), running from 4 PM until closing. You get your pick of three meats — Chicken (Pollo), Pork (Pastor), and Beef (Barbacoa) — plus a veggie option for plant-based eaters. The self-serve topping bar is well stocked with all the essentials: beans, grilled onions and serrano peppers, cilantro, radish, and multiple salsas including verde, roja, and a spicy dried chili paste. Tacos are good but nothing like street tacos if that what you're looking for. There is live music at night. Parking can be tricky with paid street parking typical of Midtown. Still, for the price and flavor, it’s a great casual spot to enjoy tacos and a lively local vibe.
