Centro Cocina Mexicana

We brought a big group here on Monday night, and the staff were very accommodating. We called about an hour ahead of time to let them know there would be 12 of us. When we arrived there was a high top table set for us in the bar area.The chips and salsa are $3 each, and we ordered a few for the table. They have margaritas and other cocktails available. The margaritas here were just ok. The chips and salsa were good. The chips are thin and light. They brought out salsa roja and verde, and those were both tasty. The roja has just a little more kick than the verde. I ordered the two taco plate with refried black beans and 1 carnitas taco and 1 Camarones taco. The shrimp was breaded and complimented with a cabbage slaw and mango salsa. The carnitas were a little crispy and had great flavor. The side of rice was steamed and seasoned white rice. The refried black beans were pretty good. Overall he food was good, but the timing for all the dishes to come out was a little off. The last dish for our last person waiting took significantly longer than the other food even though it wasn't a particularly complicated order. Other than that, everything seemed to be prepared well and tasted nice.It's a good, casual Mexican spot, and I would eat here again. I would definitely want the carnitas again.

This is a cute vibrant Mexican Restaurant walking distance from the Hyatt House Hotel. It's cute and colorful inside giving a vibe for any occasion from a casual dinner, business work dinner, or date night and the service was friendly. The food was REALLY good. First- their salsa is a verde salsa and it's the best "green" salsa I've ever had served with homemade chips. I usually don't care for verde salsa, but this Id eat all day. Full of flavor and not too spicey. I had the rib which came with their mole sauce which was amazing. Again something that I may not have thought was my favorite and it was delicious. Definitely try it!! The only downside was that my margarita wasn't amazing, but I think I had the premium one. Maybe next time I'll just try the regular one. Overall if you're in Sacramento, I highly recommend spending at least one of your evenings here.

As someone who is Mexican, when you usually come into these kind of restaurants you think to yourself, "this might be bad or it might be pretty good". For Centro, they have my trust in coming to eat Mexican food late at night and any other time of the day. They are usually open with a fuller menu which is also really good but we usually come for their late night happy hour (9pm-12am). That menu consists of many small Mexican dishes which are honestly pretty filling. They also have a variety of cocktails and some very delicious infused tequila shots.The setting is always nice at night, with good music playing in the background that honestly makes you feel really comfortable while being there. Service is also always really good, with everyone being attentive to everything around the restaurant. Definitely check them out next time you have late night cravings for REAL Mexican food.

I had a wonderful experience at Centro Cocina Mexicana! We visited with a large group, and the staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, perfect for a group gathering.The food was absolutely delicious! We started with fresh chips and salsa, which were addictively tasty. The beans and rice were cooked to perfection, and the flauntas and tacos were filled with flavorful ingredients. Every bite was a delight!I'm only giving 4 stars as it was really loud and hard to have conversations in the venue.Overall, I recommend Centro Cocina Mexicana for a great dining experience. The fresh and flavorful food, along with the welcoming atmosphere, made it a memorable night for our group - just be aware that when busy it can be loud in the venue!

The seating areas are both inside and outside, the specials are worth looking at! The service was a little slow and not incredibly attentive, but we were sitting outside at a busier hour. I had the birria tacos (one of the specials) and they were pretty good, i do feel the portions could have been a little more generous for the price but the food was good. the rice is fabulous.

Met up with friends for dinner. The food was great we all enjoyed what we had and drinks tasty. The restaurant wasn't loud so we were able to visit and enjoy each other. Great spot to meet up! Service was wonderful too!

I've only been here a handful of times in the last 15 years, and the most recent time was earlier this month for my brother's birthday. The customer service was excellent. The food took a very long time to come out, but they kept refilling our water and chips and salsa while we waited. The food was extremely flavorful. I took too long to post this review, so I don't remember the exact name of my fish. However, it was pork with a sweet potato tamale (phenomenal) and it had chunks of pineapple. It was a very unique dish -- inspired by Yucatán I believe.Everyone was happy with their food. Their margarita pitcher was decently priced. The ceviche was so refreshing and the chips and salsa were fresh and addicting.I liked that they had a fall specials menu too (photographed). I will be back soon!

I was craving some fish and chips and heard this place had some of the best.I discovered a new fish and it's called Totoaba! It's absolutely amazing. I will say the batter was a little heavy but interesting. I ended up leaving quite a bit of the batter on the plate.The service was so friendly and they were so knowledgeable. This restaurant is beautiful and semi elegant but still very approachable, Maintaining a very comfy space. A cold cerveza was all I needed to finish.

The food is amazing! Ordered the salsa and chips, camarones a la parrillo and the enchiladas oaxaqueñas. The place was very busy so the service was a bit slow but we didn't mind it at all. We ordered a drink and enjoyed the ambience. I'll have to try something new next time but the enchiladas are delicious.

The food was overpriced for what I got. $16 for two tacos and rice and beans. I will say I did love the rice though. The spot itself is cool. On the corner with a nice patio and attentive servers. Just not a great value when there are $2 tacos around Sac that are just as tasty if not better.
