Best Mexican in Sacramento. Love, love, love this restaurant. The vibe is super cool, the food is top-notch and the drinks are amazing. Plus, the hospitality team there is super nice and on it. We have gone 3x and love it each and every time. Do not miss Sacramento without this. Thanks to Oscar (the GM) for taking care of us.

We went for lunch, and the place wasn’t too packed, but the service was kinda slow. Our server was nice. The food was amazing, we got the Baja fish tacos and the Mexican corn bread. I adore got an alcoholic beverage. It was the prickly pear. My drink was very yummy . Our overall experience was very nice. We will definitely be going back here. Parking situation today was not ideal because there was a graduation going on at the Kings Arena.

I visited Polanco for the first time the other day and thoroughly enjoyed my time!!! I didn’t eat, but I did have the prickly pear margarita and it was exceptional! Refreshing, just the right amount of booze, and most importantly, tasty:) Liz, who I believe is the GM, provided a comfortable and fun-loving experience, and her sense of humor won me over – I will be back for more!!! The hostess, Rose (?), was also so lovely & accommodating. Can’t wait to try the food and even more drinks!

I’ve been here a couple of times now, and I love it! There’s plenty of seating inside and outside, and there’s a nice sized bar. The music is great anytime of day, and the atmosphere is especially lively at night. The hostess and servers are always nice and attentive. The chips, salsa and guacamole are so good. I’ve had the pork quesadillas and rice, along with their strawberry Bobarita slushy (which I highly recommend). Everything tastes fresh and homemade. Be prepared to spend a lot of money, though; everything adds up quickly.

Quick day trip to Sacramento from the East Bay and Polanco was on my list for brunch. What a great way to start the day. Birria Ramen, Ribeye Hash and Mexican coffee for me and hubby while little got a taco that came with yummy green rice and beans. Great food and speedy service. Overall a great experience and can’t wait to come back for some late night action after a concert or even Taco Tuesday!

Had a great time at Polanco before a show at Golden One. They were quick, expedient and the margaritas were amazing. The staff was warm and friendly. The manager Liz came by and was super sweet. The chips were my favorite part, you could tell they were made fresh.

This is an awesome place, great atmosphere. I just wish it wasn’t so close to Golden 1 because I’m sure it’s insane on game days. Mojitos are good and the birria relleno was amazing. I’ve never had one like it, but best relleno I’ve had in Sac for sure!

Had an experience, the bartender was quick to seat me. The Gm Lizz personally touched base to make sure the food was quality. Highly recommend for all doco adventures.

I liked this place and so did my kids. I had the queso fundido and a caesar salad with chicken. The chicken was really good, not rubbery like I usually get on salads. My kids liked their quesadillas but next time I will make them share one because they were so big. The waitress was really sweet to my kids and brought them crayons to color.

The food was delicious. If you’re going to Golden 1 Center in Sac-town, it’s a great place to hit up for food before a game or concert. It’s so conveniently located.
