Uptown Cafe

Breakfast and Lunch
1121 Del Paso Blvd.
(916)649-2233

I have been going into this restaurant for a couple years now, and even though it is out of my way, I still find my way over there. There is seating indoors or outdoors, on the patio or porch area. The staff is very friendly and always make you feel like you are welcome. The food is GREAT, the portions are large and delicious and very reasonably priced. Any item that has a sauce on it such as biscuits and gravy or any of the benedicts, are so good. If you love food, or just eat to stay alive, this restaurant will fulfill your needs. Make your way over there and you will be back the next day to try something else.

Maalouf's serves very good Lebanese food from this small location. The staff is very friendly and they do a great job of making you feel welcome and at home. The location is small and often busy, but I have never had a problem getting in. The menu is good for dinner or lunch, you will receive pretty large portions of food.

Nagato Sukiyaki is Sacramento's oldest Japanese restaurant, it has been open since 1970 and has always been Japanese owned and operated. The staff is warm and welcoming and make you feel like part of the family. The restaurant is small and can get very busy. If there is a wait, it is well worth it to stay. I have never had to wait, usually there is a spot available. There food from the kitchen is great and the quality of the fish that sushi chef Don serves is superb. Their menu is loaded with good food and I always say "If you like really good Japanese food Nagato Sukiyaki is the best."

Don Quixote's is a nice Mexican Grill that is set up similar to Chipotle. You go up and order your food the same way and tell them what you would like in your order. There is a much larger menu to choose from though, and the food is great.They have soups, burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, nachos, and more. You can choose from different meat selections such as adobada, carnitas, carne asada, pollo, and chile verde. Also there is an ample amount of room to sit down and eat there if you choose to. Great spot to eat at a reasonable price.
