Mother
"While I had known Mother was back in Sacramento I hadnt been able to visit. But thank goodness they are back with their staples and classics and just down the street from their previous location. The mushroom po'boy is always a great choice and the additions of the chips is chef kiss. The sandwich is a great size and easily shareable. The mushrooms are fried and seasoned in a great blend, and the lettuce and cucumbers are a fresh addition. The fried chips are light and crunchy with a seasoning that resembles BBQ chips. My partner ordered the special pasta on the menu and we ordered a side of potato wedges with a great dipping sauce. Staff was very nice and welcoming, checking in at the appropriate times."
Gaspachos
"Delicious, Sticky, Yummy Fun!SITREPThe DIY culture has taken hold in so many realms of our lives, so is it all that surprising it has taken hold in restaurants and juice bars?Enter Gaspachos, a lovely business on Stockton Blvd that holds true to the traditions of the Mangolada, in this instance, a DIY drink treat that during this time of COVID-19, we can take the kits home.https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gaspachos-sacramento?select=qldYxzEyE5hCvePlfiCEUw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0wTHE SETUPIt DOES take some doing to put together! It's worth the trip to secure the Mangolada kit from Brenda - or another of the friendly staff - and you will find the kit replete with a juicy mango, and unique tantalizing Mexican spices this side of the Rio Grand!https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/gaspachos-sacramento?select=VimDqKhgbhNI6cAhxQ4W0Q&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0wMANGOLADAUnderstand that the Mangolada doesn't just happen - it takes some dedication and you can't have any aversion to getting your hands messy.But once you complete the task, you have yourself a delcious, refreshing authentic Mexican Mango drink that you will enjoy! [You can even add shots of tequila or rum like I do to *kick-it-up-a-notch*, but don't tell Mangos!] OTHER FRUIT MIXING!In addition to the traditional Mangolada, the Mixed Fruit Drinks is a tradition with Gaspachos and for that same $8 and mix 3 fruits (instead of just the whole mango), including strawberries, watermelon, etc. Sounds pretty good for the summer time, right?THE LOWDOWNSo YES, Gaspacho's Mangolada drink certainly was yummy & fun, AND very very sticky! But in the end it was absolutely delicous!"
