A heads up... Preorder your tamales if you want to make sure they have them!-) they sell out quick!-) they're all gone at both locations for today!-)
I would also like to suggest their mexican style shrimp cocktail!-)

If you are ever in Little italy ins SF. A place called Mona Lisa's on columbus st is Superb. They cook the food where you can see the chefs with an open kitchen and the ambiance is awesome

about $100 for 2 people with app, entree and a bowl of pasta and drinks

Michaelangelo's downtown is a great little place. It is small, and very quiet, but IMO the food is great. Very good pasta. I have taken my wife there a lot and she really likes it as well.

If you like Tai food Tai Basil downtown is pretty good. I had my first experience with Tai food there and found it was pretty good.

La Taquiera Favorita here in South Sac is awesome. They are very clean and have one of the best super burrito's I have ever had. My staff eats there daily since they are a few blocks away from us.

If anyone needs a biscuit and gravy fix the backdoor in old sac is great!

we are making tamales too, the house smells great, unlike the usual fishy smell

whitepines1 · #59 12/31/2007, 07:04 PM

if there are any left, let me know...I love some fresh tamales.

kdblove_99 · #60 12/31/2007, 07:12 PM

yum, Havn't had fresh tamales in a while

Ok, its not a true resturant, but my wife and I stopped by this little cupcake store next to fish planet and it was the best little treat I have had in a long time. I had the carrat cake. It is not ricks deset diner or freeport bakery, but it was yummy.

A frag and a cupcake, not a bad day.

One of the major magazines rated Sacramento as the most "diverse" city in the country. I think the food choices confirm that.

I know. I really did not think anyone else would admit to it. I got a carrot cake cupcake. I took it home and put it in the micowave for ten seconds. I was thinking of going back today.

Mikuni for California/American style sushi. Hands down the BEST and freshest sushi in town.

Nation wide freezer meats downtown on H for the best cheese burger in town (no joke, but its a little pricey because they use all Harris Ranch beef)

Squeeze Inn gets the #2 on burgers (power Inn).

Bud's Buffet on 10th for the best roastbeef/pastrami in town (trust me, I eat here 2 times a week and there is always a line out the door)

Chicago Fire in Folsom or Downtown for deep dish pizza (destroys Zelda's all day).

Paezano's (sp?) is good for Italian.

I could name a bunch more because I am always on the quest for the best foods in Sac, but keep in mind most of the places I named do not have the same ambience as Bandera, Ruth's or Morton's, however the food is killer.

sagitariuscbc · #68 01/01/2008, 08:10 PM

Crazy sushi is worth a try!-) I get the sea steak and the laguna spider!-)

sagitariuscbc · #69 01/01/2008, 08:28 PM

Yucatan chicken salad at dos coyote's is one of my favorite salads!-)

sagitariuscbc · #70 01/01/2008, 08:38 PM

Oh yeah ettore's(sp?) is a great place to check out!-) he is one of the better pastry chef's in town!-) they also have a full menu!-)

!-)

sagitariuscbc · #71 01/01/2008, 08:48 PM

I gotta throw sam's hof brau into the mix!-) I've been going there since I could remember!-)
!-)

jimdogg187 · #72 01/01/2008, 09:03 PM

If you like Sam's, you HAVE to try Bud's. I am a native here in Sac, and have also been eating at Sam's for as long as I can remember. Its great. But Bud's takes the Hof Brau to a whole new level

sagitariuscbc · #73 01/01/2008, 09:12 PM

Oh you know I will!-)

kdblove_99 · #74 01/03/2008, 04:57 PM

I agree about that salad its mine and my wifes favorite.

The Yukatan Chicken salad! It is huge for $8 also.

I do love Mikuni also love Ninja Sushi there is one in Lincoln and Auburn

never heard of this Nation wide freezer meats

Jim you ever try California Burgers on riverside and auburn Blvd?

Pasta- i Like Granitos

Mark, If you like Carrot cake mine and my wifes favorite is at Ricks dessert diner, Good stuff. But you might just like the cupcakes

You can always get a good meal at Jack's Urban Eats.
