This is my favorite Mexican spot in Sacramento. I visit at least once a week. The food is always hot, fresh and full of flavor. I normally get 3 carne asada tacos with rice and beans or taco salad. I always get a margarita. The staff is the best , always welcoming and smiling. The salsa bar has the best salsa in town. It's clean and always restocked. The ambiance is nice and it's always clean.

First time visiting I order the three enchiladas dinner, the rice and beans were really good for the enchiladas I had shredded chicken, regular chicken and asada the red sauce was good. The service was good and nice place.

Excellent service we love the food and the ambiance is nice this is our first time here and we loved it ! Their salsas are delicious specially the avocado salsa .

It's so hard to find a GOOD Mexican restaurant, but every dish in this place is such a delicacy! I fell in love with the camarones a la diabla.. bursting with flavor and good plate if you like some heat. A plus is the handmade tortillas made fresh! Paired my meal with a michelada and it was perfect. The service is always great and it's never too packed. Don't skip out on the crispy tacos or carnitas either!

Update: still delicious! Food is flavorful and served fresh and hot. I'm guessing I can order anything and it would be great! Service is great, staff are welcoming and friendly.

Walked in to the taqueria for the first time ever and was impressed with the inside nicely decorated and very clean. Ordered the Asada torta, Asada nachos and horchata all in all it was a good meal but the asada was on the dry and salty side, maybe had something to do with it being on the later side of dinner. Customer service was good for a taqueria. The staff would check in periodically. I would like to give this place another try maybe with a burrito or taco next time.

We came back tonite to try the food. We had the taco salad and burrito. The taco salad was great and very filling. The burrito was too. The service was great and the chips were complimentary which was nice. I didn't realize they had breakfast may have to try that sometime. They had a TV going and the restaurant was very clean. I'll be back.

Checked out a new (to me) taqueria over the weekend! Located in Natomas in the same shopping center as Chef Frank and Safeway - off Del Paso Blvd. The inside was clean and had plenty of seating. There was a nice salsa bar with free chips as well. We ordered street tacos - Al Pastor, Chicken, Carnitas and Carne Asada. There was nothing out of the park about them, but they definitely hit the spot and I would come back here next time I am in the area! Their Molcajete and Pozole looked amazing! Service was super friendly and they checked on us a couple of times to see if we needed anything else. I can tell that the people who work at El Favorito put a lot of love into their business!
