Classic Sacramento Restaurants and Eateries to Try | Eater SF

"Fans of the Little Cactus Special will fight for its title as the best breakfast in Sacramento, That’s Nopalitos’ take on chilaquiles: a fluffy egg disk laced with the restaurant’s eponymous nopales, corn chips, corn kernels, and cheese, and topped with red or green salsa (get both) and sour cream. The Southwestern-adjacent menu that owners Rose and Dave Hanke created in 1992 is entirely unique to the area. Other must-try Nopalitos items are the tamale bowl (more like a creamy polenta bowl), the chicken tinga anything, and a hunk of moist coffee cake." - Becky Grunewald
