Vallejo's Mexican Restaurants, Sacramento, CA P157
 
A Top Pick in the Area
 
In 1983 the Vallejo Family opened a small Deli in the Midtown area of Sacramento that served fine Mexican Food to-go.    In 1992 they moved to a downtown location and opened Vallejo's Mexican Restaurant at 1331 O Street.  It was a hit from day one, with great authentic mexican food at reasonable prices.  Next they added another downtown location at 1900 4th Street which has both inside and patio dining.  A third restaurant was added at  1100 O Street, which specializes in authentic Mexican Seafood.  All of the restaurants offer a their own unique differences.  The 13th Street location, is the smallest and is very casual.  The 11th and O Street restaurant is more upscale, which some may refer to as business casual.  This location has a large well stocked bar and the seafood offerings are delicious.  My favorite is the 4th Street location, which is in a remodeled early 20's building in Sacramento's Old Red-Light District.  You may choose from inside, sidewalk or patio areas for you dining.  Our last visit was on a warm Sunday Evening and we chose the patio.  A 4 piece Mexican Band provided lively entertainment throughout the evening.  Our group included six adults and a baby.  The wait was minimal, they baby enjoyed the music and the staff was very quick.  Our orders varied from Vegie Burritos for two of the ladies to various Combo Plates.  My meal consisted of a Combo with a Beef Taco, Beef Tamale, Chicken Enchalade with rice beans and salad.  Excellent. And don't forget the beer.  They have a generous selection of domestic and imported beers.  An ice cold Pacifico went well with my meal. ,All of the entrees were served very hot and the portions were generous.  Most of the combos range from $5.95 to $8.95  I would rate Vallejo's as follows: Food B+, Service A, Ambience from B to A, Overall A.  It's an excellent value and you can go there again and again, by yourself or with the gang
