Taqueria Rincon Alteño

Mexican restaurant · South Natomas

"It’s not exactly difficult to find solid Mexican food in Sacramento, but it’s not often you can consistently taste the pride and love that went into making it. Taqueria Rincón Alteño has been operating in Natomas for nearly 20 years and is often mentioned fondly by Sacramento natives who don’t even live in the capital anymore. That’s because the restaurant nails the basics: The rice maintains a starchy chew, whether tucked into a Super Burrito or served with beans alongside a pair of melty cheese enchiladas; salsas are made fresh and packed with a depth of flavor; and pozole, when it’s available, offers a perfect textural harmony between crunchy hominy and rich shreds of pork." - Tamerra Griffin
