I heard somebody mumbling something about which restaurant has the best carnitas in Sacramento. I thought I'd just clear that up. My husband, a man whose somewhat frightening obsession with carnitas has led us to most Mexican eating establishments in the tri-county area, has spent our 6 years in Sacramento trying to solve this very same perplexing question. He has absolutely tried all carnitas available in Sacramento, and swears, and ...

From small hole-in-the-wall locations to large operations, there are numerous BBQ restaurants in Sacramento.  Fortunately for all of us who enjoy a good BBQ meal, most of them are very good.  Probably one of my favorites and truly a success is the Texas West Bar-B-Que.  Texas West came to Sacramento in 1991 and is known for catering major events as well as its' restaurants. 

Texas West has fast-style counter-service BBQ restaurants ...

One of my favorite inexpensive and tasty restaurants in Sacramento with patio seating, is Jack's Urban Eats, located in Midtown at 20th Street and Capitol and on Fair Oaks Blvd., in Loehmann's Plaza.  I had been going to the one at Loehmann's Plaza for a few years, so I knew what to expect about the food.  What I was delighted about when I first walked into the Capitol store was the size ...

I'd like to say that Chipotle is one of the best-kept secrets in Sacramento, but it's not.  From Sacramento to Boston to the Florida Keys, Chipotle has become a major part of the American fast-food palate.  The good news is we have a number of them in Sacramento, including the one on Capitol Avenue and 19th Street.  Franchised through the McDonalds Corporation, Chipotle has the fresh food preparation system down pat.

Chipotle offers ...

Ford's Real Hamburgers
1948 Sutterville Road,
Sacramento
(916) 452-6979

Doesn't its name say it all? Ford's is the perfect hamburger joint. Across from William Land Park, and hot as hell during the summer, Ford's is a classic American burger joint, complete with homemade French fries, real meat burgers and the red baskets (what's with the red baskets anyway?). Just go. The milkshakes rock, you can sit outside, and ...

Where can a college student take visiting family members when everyone wants to spend the day together, but there is a wide range of ages to entertain?  Sierra College students have several favorite places in the Rocklin area northeast of Sacramento.

Food comes first.  TOKYO DORI is a casual, family-friendly restaurant for all ages, that will keep the 20-somethings happy with its variety of edible art - "Maki Sushi."  Tried and true favorites: ...

On two recent cold, clear winter nights, I walked for several blocks both east and west along J Street. It's not a usual evening destination, but on both occasions while scurrying along in the chill, I remember thinking that midtown has become increasingly handsome.

Several old restaurants, supply stores and art galleries all have new facades. There are new sushi bars, new coffee shops and newly lighted storefront ...

In the mood for an old-fashioned, home-cooked meal? Something familiar that reminds you of family dinner time?  Even if others in your party don't share your cravings, all of you can find something to please on the menu at these three popular restaurants...

At JACK'S URBAN EATS you can wrap your hands around a bowl of macaroni and cheese just like Mom used to make. It doesn't need to be a holiday; at Jack's they ...

  Venture out to 10th and R Street, past the warehouses and renovations and "lofts-to-be" and look for the bright blue awnings on "The Building." Just down the first-floor hall of this scrubbed brick two-story is the glittering jewelry and art glass gallery A-RARE-ITY. This jewel-box of a shop offers up incredible abstract precious gem designs, and items replicating nature, like a strawberry pendant done in rubies; gilded leaves; and ...
