106 J Street Sacramento, CA 95814 United States +1 916 443 6376 http://www.cantinadelrio.com/ |
The high ceilings rest on walls of ancient bricks, and nestled up among the cinnamon-hued rafters are two balconies surrounded by wrought iron railings. There is a long, cozy bar and wide windows looking out on the plank sidewalk. Lunch and dinner feature traditional Mexican cuisine with a few distinctive entrees not usually found north of the border. Through a graceful brick arch, Mexican rock bands play on a stage in front of a roomy wooden dance floor. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Creative interpretations of Mexican cuisine |
2730 J St Sacramento, CA 95816 United States +1 916 442 2552 http://www.paragarys.com/centr... |
The dining room is decorated in southwestern colors and with authentic Mexican artifacts. The chef has traveled to and spent a great deal of time in kitchens in Oaxaca and Yucatan, as well as Central America and it shows in the interesting entrees. The enchiladas with mole negro sauce, a mixture of peanuts and chocolate, are boisterous celebrations of Mexican cuisine. All ingredients are prepared fresh daily and selected with care. The full service bar has more than 30 single malt scotches, and 70 brands of tequila. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Outdoor dining |
6063 Sunrise Mall Sacramento, CA 95610 United States +1 916 961 3628 http://www.elephantbar.com/ |
The decor here is a jungle theme with plenty of booths and patio tables for outdoor dining. The menu is the same for both lunch and dinner. You can choose from a variety of salads, appetizers, burgers, burritos, specialty entrees and desserts. The burritos are large and tasty and the Caribbean Pot Roast is flavorful and filling. The house specialty is Mud Pie, a dessert that is large enough for two people to share. Because reservations are not accepted, the wait for a table may be very long. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic Mexican cuisine |
1901 16th St Sacramento, CA 95814 United States +1 916 441 5850 http://www.ernestosmexicanfood... |
Enjoy al fresco dining under the tall trees in a bustling Midtown neighborhood, or indoors, where the decor is cheerfully tropical with mariachi music in the background. The cuisine is Mexican with a definite flair for healthy and interesting interpretations of traditional fare: burritos, carnitas and more. You will not find greasy tortillas filled with lard-laden refried beans at this popular spot. This is a vegetarian-friendly place. Beer and Margaritas are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
