| 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 |
