It's the place next to the pizza guys on J. I was wondering if we had it right when we walked up as there was brighter lights outside the pizza guys than even signage for this place, but that was no deterrent for finding one of the newest hot spots for good eats in Sac. Open from Mon-Sat 11:30 am - 8 pm this place caters mainly to a lunch, early dinner, and take out crowd. And the phone didn't stop ringing the entire time we were there, so they must be doing something right.
Upon walking in, the first thing I saw was a clothesline, and attached were all their daily specials consisting of: sandwiches, their famous burger, entrees, and sides. The sandwiches ranged from Today's Steak - caramelized onions, blue cheese & roasted garlic alioli. $9.5 to Panko Crusted Eggplant - roasted peppers, tomato, Fontina cheese, basil aioli & balsamic vinegar. $7.5.
Although the sandwiches looked wonderful I headed for the Rock Shrimp with Spanish Chorizo, white wine, parsley and garlic $10.50 and a side of Mixed Mushrooms - garlic, parsley, wine & truffle oil. $4.75, finished with a side of house-made bread for $1.50 — my first impression of both of these dishes was that they were exceedingly better versions of dishes I've had a Tapa the World. Great sauces, clean flavors, and who doesn't love well cooked mushrooms.
Both are Spanish dishes and the sauces were soo good, that although I was out of bread a this time, I very much wanted to take the drippings home just to get more bread and finish them up. There food is not only beautiful, but affordable, and well executed making me very much wanna go back and see what I was missing with those sandwiches and there increasingly famous burger with Manchago.
