La Cosecha by Mayahuel - Sacramento (CA)

5 /5 Thomas Whitley: 5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Experience at La Cosecha by Mayahuel! I recently visited La Cosecha by Mayahuel and had an outstanding experience. Salvador, my bartender, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. Fernanda was also very helpful and ensured that our needs were met throughout the evening. We started with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and flavorful. The guacamole was truly fantastic - creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend La Cosecha by Mayahuel for its excellent food, exceptional service, and warm atmosphere. Cant wait to return!

5 /5 THE GII FAMILY: Location is great , so much shade, if you want to sit outside, I was there at 11 am. Food was amazing. I got the el pastor tacos and they were so good and the plate was big. Service was great too , very fast. Very attentive employees.

2 /5 Kimberly Oseguera: Have no idea where these 5 stars are coming from! Just pass altogether as there are way better places to eat Mexican food in Sac. We went as a party of 4 around 4pm on a Saturday in the summer heat. We walked up to what looks cute and aesthetic. We waited for 5 minutes at the host booth outside for someone to greet us and figured well lets check if its okay to sear ourselves. As soon as we opened the door the arrogant waiter said to go back outside and wait as he didnt have time to seat us yet. That shouldve been our sign to leave. But we waited and he came asked if we prefer inside or outside. We asked if AC was on inside and he said yes. It was hotter inside than outside so I was drippin sweat trying to enjoy dinner. We asked the waiter a few questions and he seemed bothered. Maybe because he was stressed he was the only one waiting on tables for the entire place. Luckily there werent many people there. Food and drinks were all below standard. I ordered the cucumber marg it was terrible. Lacked a balance of flavor to alcohol. The tequila used overpowered the cucumber. The old fashion my husband ordered was fine and my friends pineapple drink was all juice. He forgot my moms ice tea and she asked to switch to an horchata instead since they hadnt poured it yet. My mom ordered an horchata which was bland without sweetener. The food arrived promptly so they deserve a star for the quickness from ordering to having the food out. We ordered: Chips and Salsa - good salsa very mild and expected. Queso fundido - was like velveta cheese or nacho cheese. They say 3 cheese blend but not even the chorizo can hide the fake cheese flavor. Our fault as I assumed itd have queso Oaxaca as they quote all over their menu where the recipe is from. Guess they know better on that. 1/10 Torta de Milanesa - which was a pork chop fried. Absolutely not milanesa as a milanesa is a pork cutlet pounded thin and fried. 2/10 Enchiladas verdes with chicken - the tortilla seemed straight from the bag and warmed in the micro then a lil sauce thrown on top. They were very dry. Least they had a little spice. 3/10 Pozole rojo - least that came with a lot of meat and was standard with flavor. We asked for spicy salsa as usually you get Chile de aceite to add which it didnt come with. The waiter said he had Chile de arbol so we expected to get a salsa with heat but nope. 5/10 Combo plate with Chile relleno and tamal - this plate was served with black beans and rice. The rice was decent. Beans had zero flavor and it wouldve been nice to have an option for an alternative. The chile relleno and tamal were smothered in an orange sauce which drowned any flavor as it reminded me of a sauce made with a base of chef boyarde tomato. The chile relleno looked like it was made with chile poblano which is a great start but dont smother it in a horrible sauce. The tamal probably wouldve been good if it didnt have the sauce on it. 3/10 Lastly, the waiters arrogance with the heat was a complete souring. I would give more stars had the customer service been great. However, never complain about customers in front of other customers. (The waiter was a short older man) Whats also with a 3% kitchen staff fee?! Since when do you not price your food to pay your staff accordingly or require the waiters to split a percentage from their tips. Especially after the waiter justifying why chips and salsa are no longer free as the work and ingredients that go into it have to be paid. Disclosures: I am Mexican and have traveled all over Mexico. Never have I ever tried these so called authentic flavors or been so disappointed. Being an avid cook who makes food from scratch they definitely need to revisit recipes and products theyre using. Too bad as I really wanted to find a new place that has great drinks and food.

5 /5 Forth Hoyt: Only had a white mocha but I want to go back! I was the only one there… not sure it was much after 10am on a Tuesday morning. But what a cool funky eclectic pace! And Tom’s of room! I’ll bet it gets fun here!

5 /5 Mike Bustos: Very charming place. Stumbled across this joint walking through the area while visiting. Was served by Jenny who was very pleasant and sweet. Drinks, food and service were awesome. Will definitely come back next time were in the area.
