Cariño

Tried the asada huarache and it exceeded expectations. The masa was thinner than usual, not greasy, and didn’t leave that heavy, weighed-down feeling you typically get with dishes like this. Everything tasted fresh and it was filling without being too much. The salsas were a great touch and added extra flavor. I’d absolutely order it again.

I went to Carino in the late morning for some tacos. I immediately noticed how clean and bright the place is! The decor is adorable and the server, Irma, was incredibly friendly and kind. I ordered a giant mug of horchata. It was cold and tasty and not gritty like some horchata can be. I ordered 4 tacos- the quesabirria, the crispy taco with shredded beef, two street tacos (asada and carnitas), and a side of rice. I’m a hungry girl and I needed to try everything. After I ordered, Irma brought me chips and salsa that were totally delicious! My food was then brought out all on one plate and the presentation was fabulous. Their produce was incredibly fresh - the onions and cilantro were crisp and tasty and the single lime wedge had enough juice to cover my whole meal - I REALLY appreciate a high-producing lime wedge. Their onions were chopped so finely but still crisp. I can tell they care a lot about quality ingredients and freshness. She brought me a side of salsa verde which was also great. The quesabirria was fantastic. It was a savory, well-rounded flavor. It wasn’t overly cheesy, but still- the cheese pulls on this thing were something to behold. The crispy taco was also very good. Lots of meat and cheese, as well as lettuce and cabbage. I don’t love cabbage on tacos typically, but that’s a personal preference and didn’t take away from the meal at all. I ate every bite. The street tacos were great! They are small, thick, and lightly charred but still maintain a softness to them. I was not worried about out my taco falling apart once. Both the carnitas and asada were very lightly seasoned compared to a lot of taco places, but they were not bland. The lighter seasoning let me really taste the flavor of the meat itself, which I could tell was high quality and fresh- there were no yucky bits. Paired with the onions, cilantro , lime, and salsa they really were a great combination of flavors without one ingredient overpowering the others. At the end of the meal Irma thanked me earnestly for coming in and talked with me about her kids and husband- I can tell she is a great mom and I sincerely hope this restaurant does very well!

Super good! I ordered the caldo de pollo. It was delicious. First I was served a basket of crunchy tortilla chips with a small bowl of salsa. The caldo de pollo was a generous bowl of tasty broth filled with fresh chunks of cabbage, zucchini, carrot and potato with juicy hunks of chicken breast. It was served with a side of warm corn tortillas and a small bowl of delicious garlic-scented rice that I could’ve eaten a lot more of! The other diners’ meals looked equally delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The decor is nice with Spanish-language music playing. I’ll definitely be back.

I was staying in downtown Sac, and had a craving for Birria, and I'm so glad I found this place. I have been all over North America eating tacos, and hands down, this has become my favorite Birria place. I never would've expected it, but it's so flavorful and seasoned. I initially ordered 2 birria tacos, and an assortment of street tacos - while I didn't enjoy the street tacos as much, the Birria blew my mind. I ordered another pair. The workers were kind, and it was equally awesome to support a family owned business. Congratulation to Carino on having an amazing taco.
