Best Authentic Restaurants in Arden-Arcade

There were 3 of us. We were seated in a booth and started our meal with the fish ceviche. Absolutely the best I’ve ever had and so very fresh. One of us had the salmon mango plate. One of us had the enchiladas Guanajuato and I had the enchiladas mole. Delicious! Each of us enjoyed every bite and then we shared a tres leches cake slice. What a nice way to end our meal. A very nice dining experience and I can’t wait to go back and try the strawberry salad that looked so good on the menu. Thank you Zócalo. Yummy.

We had mole enchiladas, red enchiladas, and chile rellenos for dinner. We drank red sangria. Every diner at the table was pleased with their choice. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, was hopping with birthday and holiday energy, was loud and bustling. Our waitress and every other server was working hard. Our waitress was apologetic about the restaurant's understaffing, but we took it in stride -- she was pleasant and attentive when with us, and we didn't wait too long for anything. If we're in Sacramento again, we'll gladly return to Zocalo Midtown, without hesitation.

The food here is so good! We stopped in before heading to see the nutcracker and they timed everything perfectly for us to get to the show on time. The food was outstanding, the drinks were also very good (they even offered to make a mock tail for a family member). We sat next to a larger party but it wasn’t loud for us. Our waiter was incredible, super attentive and answered all our questions. I know some of the reviews on here say that the service can be “questionable” but our experience with everyone working at the restaurant was great! Will definitely be back.

We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.

We were greeted right away & seated. Ambience was great. Service was timely. Our server was welcoming, knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating. The food was delicious especially the vegetables. Lunch was so filling that we did not have any of the delicious sounding desserts. We will be back to try more things on the menu.
