Found this restaurant on Yelp, while searching for soul food. I came up from the South Bay for an event & had a craving.Came for the oxtails, but it was close to closing, and they had run out already. A few other items were sold out by that time too. So if you want a full menu to choose from, come early.We ordered the fried catfish with rice & gravy and greens for sides, and the chicken wings with mac & cheese and grits for sides. Everything was spot on deliciousness! Yum!!!The staff was so nice and very attentive. They actually seem happy to be there, which is not common these days. It was a breath of fresh air!Thanks Colo's! I wish you were in the South Bay! I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in the area.

I googled "soul food restaurants in Sac" and this restaurant came up so me and my friend decided to try it out. My friend had the shrimp and grits, which looked delicious and was a large portion. She said the dish was really good. I had the catfish dinner with cabbage and Mac and cheese. The catfish was cooked to perfection crunchy on the outside but cooked well on the inside but not overcooked. The cabbage was tastefully seasoned not too much salt. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and tasted good. We both had the sweet tea which was not too sweet which I appreciated. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. When Our order was taking a little longer than expected they graciously gave us some fries on the house for the wait. I thought that was a nice gesture. Before we left the owner came by to apologize to us once again for the wait, she was very nice and told us she is from Baton Rouge (New Orleans decor) and has had her business for more than ten years. Her cooking shows she can really cook. The owner also told me she usually has more selection of sides etc on Friday and Saturday, they had ran out of some sides when we went on a Sunday (yams and peach cobbler) The restaurant has ample seating and does take out orders. You can park in the Grocery Outlet lot and walk over to the restaurant since there is no parking in front of the restaurant. To wrap things up I enjoyed food and service at Colo Southern Cafe , I have no complaints. If I am in the area visiting friends in the future I would definitely go back. I recommend this spot for sure.

I was craving soul food so me and my partner googled soul food in Sacramento and tried our luck with this one.We came to a location at a busy intersection near a grocery outlet and dollar tree. The waitress was kind, helpful, and checked in on us despite handling a busy restaurant with 5 to gos and 3 dine-in tables. We ordered the two meal deal with spicy bbq chicken. The two sides we chose were mac and cheese and red beans and rice. We also ordered the shrimp and grits - i asked for the gravy on the side- but they accidentally put it on there. Im sooooo glad they did, because they know what they're doing . It was so good the way it was. For the side we got greens and it had flavor like a mf! The mac and cheese was ok. I like mine creamy and it was more like cheesy . My partner liked it, but for me it's a texture thing. Still tasty. I would go for the food again, and maybe try out one of the events they throw. It looks like a good time!

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. This is my second time here May 3. The ambience is immaculate. What I mean by that is I enjoy the decor and the place is clean, but the vibe is top-tier. The servers are friendly. The patrons are fun and if you look around, you will see most people playing games or in lively conversation at their table. The food is fire. They have a well thought out menu of comfort foods and I have never ordered something that disappointed me here. I actually got a picture of the grits and catfish this time. It was so very good. My son ate my leftovers and I wanted to go back the next day. If you are looking for a place to relax have a good time and enjoy amazing food go here fast.

Overall: 4.25/5 Food: 4/5Customer Service: 4/5Price: 4/5Cleanliness: 5/5 Best Po'Boy I've had! I can't even lie, the Shrimp Po'Boy here go crazy!! The nicely toasted inside of the bun, the soft outer part of the bun, the batter on the shrimp is so light yet so crispy, the pairing of the grilled onions and peppers, and those 2 sauces they give you... Good GAWD! Outta here! I need that 5 days a week! The Ox Tails... Crazy!! So damn good. Literally, the best Ox Tails I've had at a restaurant and the closet to home cooked Ox Tails! The Peach Cobbler was my least favorite thing. The day I went, I think someone just went too heavy on the All-Spice. I will try a different dessert next time. But this place is one of my favorites just after the first visit. If your not familiar with the area, just don't park your car with valuables left out. If you do, you was warned! Lol

Order Catfish and Sticky fried ribs. The catfish was amazing, the ribs weren't fully cooked I had to really bite into to take a piece. The okra was burnt and tasted burnt so I had them bring me another batch ..it was better . The rice was under cooked and hard , I asked for them to take it back it came back the same..hard and undercooked. The gravy had no flavor at all. The sweet tea was bitter not sweet at all I had to add 3 packs of sugar and it was little better. I'm a little disappointed because I've been there before and love this restaurant and yesterday was Sunday and they kinda disappointed me :(. Idk if I'll be back unless we get someone to take time to cook the food and not rush .
